I fucking love Yahtzee. His Zero Punctuation stuff is hilarious and his adventure games kick ass.

"A Nintendo console without a Mario title is like a fat kid swimming in shark infested waters without water-wings." (most accurate quote I can muster from the rapid fire diatribe) The sight gags were awesome too. When combined... Comedy Gold! :king:

It was good, but he spoke WAYYY to fast, as if he thought the jokes wouldn't hold up if he just said them slower.

I really enjoyed the video and got a few laughs from it.
I laughed again when I saw the VGXPO banner at the top.

No, the overarching joke is that there's zero punctuation, hence the title. His other ones are equally hilarious and awesome.

There is one thing a British accent cannot make awesome:
Fergie.
Yes, the singer.

whatever kind of embedded media player that was using is somehow capable of not only crashing my pc but I think it gave me diarrheah.

Bingo! This is a representation of the dreaded "Wall of Text" in the spoken word. ;)

I've heard it's been giving a lot of people trouble. (I actually found it worked rather better in IE6 instead of Opera.) Fortunately they all seem to be up on Youtube now.

Great video! Awesome share there. I've actually never heard of Fantastic Dizzy and am now very much inclined to learning about it.

Apparently I've played his Adventure games and never knew it. Certainly a very funny guy.

I can understand that, but zero punctuation does not infer speed. If I were to write the rest of my post without punctuation it only means that the post must be read without stopping or change in inflection his voiced changed inflection many times thereby creating punctuation in his narrative if the zero punctuation is the overarching joke then to me it is much poorer than the jokes held within the video

That's pretty funny. I dont know why but I find the funniest part when he says Zelda, Metroid, Mario, etc. and he shows pictures of Zelda, Master Cheif, and Sonic :|

Despite the constant "buffering", the video was pretty damn sweet. :)

They were taken off of Youtube last I looked.
I had problems with Firefox 2.0.0.6 and zero issues with IE6. At work I've got FF 1.5 (for compatibility testing for my company's web site) and the videos work fine.
