I am sure as committed gamers most of you are aware of the ABC2 program Good Game.
Did anyone else spot the 'Wagglemax' clip and think it looks farking ridiculously similar, stylistically, to Zero Punctuation's videos?

I couldn't find tonight's specific clip which made me think 'They've totally ripped off Yahtzee's animations', but a Youtube search on Wagglemax will give you an idea of what I mean.

My consternation incited me to join this forum.

I'm not seeing the similarities.
I did think it was funny, tho.

Nah, just the usual fifties' educational video style, also done more professionally than what Mr. Y delivers, if I may say so.

I agree Keptek, they're talentless plagiarists.

The one I watched was from November 07, which I think is about the time Yahtzee started ZP (no, I'm not about to check). Their production value seems higher because of that old-timey damaged reel filter, and their characters' mouths move (and they even have mouths, for that matter) but they also can't proofread, so it all evens out.

Reminds me more of Fallout than ZP
I pooped a hammer. I pooped a cornish game hen.

Everything reminds you of Fallout.

On serious note: Should I get Fallout 3?
