God, I hate to ruin a good thread meme, but I have to, I was surprised this thread got bumped. Yahtzee? I haven’t listened to a Zero Punctuation since he posted some pictures of himself travelling somewhere (was it Valve maybe?) and I saw what a huge “I live my Mom’s basement eating hot pockets and don’t shower for days” dweeb he looks like. Ever since then the curtain came down and I imagined him alone in a room with a monitor glow as the only light source snarling into a strap on mic, instead of this mysterious funny character with a weird accent. Sometimes it’s better to leave the curtain closed, I guess.
I don’t see how your new perception of him differs at all from the fictional persona he depicts himself as in his reviews.

And thus ElGuapo learned the valuable lesson that it’s important to judge by appearances. Without fail. Forever.
So the lesson we learned today is there’s less difference between Rob Merritt and ElGuapo than we thought.
You were surprised to see this thread get bumped? Really? It gets bumped every week! Are you surprised when the big ball of light crests the horizon to the east every morning?!
It gets bumped every week when the new ZP goes up. Look East tomorrow morning and you may also be surprised by the huge fiery ball in the sky.

I should hope it’d make you laugh, since it’s from one of the Hitchhiker’s Guide books.
But look guys, ElGuapo’s been too busy banging hot 20-year-olds to keep up with ZP. His loss, y’know?
We are talking about the same person here, right?
Because the guy we are all talking about is someone that moved from his hometown in England to Australia. Is a full-time employee of an incredibly successful gaming related website. Has become somewhat of an internet phenomenon. Is a published author. Has written and designed several games during this period. And now owns and runs his own bar.
Or did you just swing by to make another condescending little comment that you thought would be oh so funny. Idiot.

Good review. I agree that more of the same makes things less special overall.

El Guapo runs his own bar?

You are a greasy Italian spaz standing on a platform unsupported in the middle of the yawning void of space.
What Now?

You can’t do that (somehow).
What Now?

You jump, emitting a healthy vocalisation like a flamboyant homosexual being goosed while breathing helium.

“And now I will explain RPG elements to a company that’s been making games since I was NINE.”
You know, saying Bioshock ripping off bits from Fallout isn’t exactly what I’d think of as negative thing. Ditto a new game ripping off bits from Bioshock. The real question is whether it rips them off well.
