I'll leave analysing the game to other, gamier folk, and leave my opinion on the video as "well done Mr Y, hilarious as always".
What I'm curious about is the music. Yahtzee, if you can hear me, how do you go about choosing the music to bookend your review? Is it stuff you already have in your musical archives that fits the bill, do you search for stuff on PERFECTLY LEGAL file downloading sites to use, or is it The Mysterious Third Way?
Because if its the first one... your music-fu is simply awesome. I didn't even recognise the first track as Stone Sour, and I'm supposed to the rabidest Slipknot And Friends fanboy for at least ten miles. Not to mention the wonderfully electic selection of tunes in previous reviews.

Seeing as this weeks ZP is inexplicably difficult to find (perhaps it's just me) here’s a link.
Anyway good review I especially liked the Orwellian behave and conform segments.
Slipknot FTW.

So this baby, while still inside its mother, murdered his twin brother and STOLE HIS PENIS.
That is one badass baby.

Ahh, just the brain-wrenching excercise to get a weekend rolling. But is it just my post-May Day cephalic impotence or did this review have more verbal twists and turns than usual? I had to listen to it three times instead of the usual two just to get the sentences basically straight, and I'm still left curious about a few phrases I can't seem to decrypt.
Not that I'm complaining, the fourth go still had me breaking into nervous giggles. The time's never wasted, either; ZP is such a lovely lead brick of healthy education, sneakily injected through the nose while the victim's distracted by habanero lemonade poured down the optic nerve. Where it burns just right.
But now I seriously need to go and try to shake off the dreadful ZP contagion by grunting monosyllables for half an hour so I can start to communicate with real people again.

PS. The ungamer guidance section? Sweet Yahtzee, you know we love you best since your shrapnel surprises never target our favourite pasttimes.

"But 'Fir you charasmatic stallion', I hear you say 'Why is this such a bad thing? Zero Punctuation is brilliant, anything like it must be just as good.' Well then, you obviously haven't watch enough Zero Punctuation"
But it was a damn fine review.

Colorful review as always.
Lime wire? Share ware? etc etc.
Or maybe he just used some of the donation money to buy music online (if you're wondering where exactly did the money you just donated went).
Though, he is smarter than what we may think, so if you have the 'download' scenario in your mind, I guess that would be OK.
(I myself do not have any downloading softwares and I usually listen to the same track one million times a day)

Maybe he did it illegally and we can't prove otherwise. Equally, he could have got it from the Escapist. They buy the games for him, right? Actually, that makes a lot of sense.
