An unusual choice for him this week in Valkyria Chronicles.

Maybe it’s just because I’m a dirty foreigner, but he’s getting too fast for me now… but as long as he can make me giggle with such surreal shit as cheeky low-flying bats, I’ll be happy to rewind the more frenzied sections.

caesarbear · 2009-05-13T13:49:31.000Z

Yeah there was one point in there where he seemed to break the sound barrier and all his words arrived at once.

Rock8man · 2009-05-13T15:09:22.000Z

Agreed. There were several points this week when I couldn’t understand him. I’ll have to watch that one again to decipher some of that.

man and who called that shit jagged alliance-like

You mean he was faster than normal? I didn’t have any issues understanding him this week, and decided to screenshot his pic of Dick Cheney eating babies for my facebook page. I did have to rewind for that, however.

It seemed like he had a slightly higher-pitched panicky edge like he was constantly on the verge of shouting for these last couple episodes. Well, moreso than usual.

Speaking of celebrity cameos, who’s the bloke he’s been randomly inserting into his recent reviews?

Good stuff.

‘Failing to make friends’ is my new favorite euphemism for killage.

Dufresne · 2009-05-20T11:35:12.000Z

He might have reached new highs in shock value for that line about Nazis using skinned baby faces as wank rags.

TriggerHappy · 2009-05-20T11:50:18.000Z

Best closing line yet, I’m still laughing at it.

he has a point there, too :)

lol “funny how artsy and nazi are both words that rhyme with my name” yahtzee, 2009

Well, apparently the Escapist doesn’t like me anymore. I get the TF2 commercial, then it just sits there forever trying to download.

Tried in Firefox, and IE. Tried rebooting. I can’t even watch old episodes of ZP (same thing).

On the other hand, while looking on YouTube (which works fine) I found this, which I never saw back in the day (what, two years ago?).

Fugitive · 2009-05-27T09:18:29.000Z

Duke Nukem Forev-wait, what?

Dean · 2009-05-27T09:39:32.000Z

Since no one cared that I couldn’t see last week’s ZP (or any other video at The Escapist), I just thought I’d report that it was apparently the way they did the TF2 tournament ad that borked my video (and on multiple machines, I might add). Since said tournament is over, and the ads have gone away, all video at The Escapist works again.

ZP is back for me this week, and, as a bonus, I got to watch last week’s ZP too!

Okay, go back to not caring about my technical troubles.

Scrax · 2009-05-27T09:42:18.000Z

I pretty much never stopped laughing during that review.

Bahimiron · 2009-05-27T09:52:04.000Z

Whoops. I never read this 'til today.

Dean, I couldn’t see it either! You weren’t alone, man!
