Pfft, those guys are still around?  Are they still trying to claim "pwn" is pronounced the same as "own" these days?

You know, I don't normally say this about anything. But you don't 'get it.'

Anyway, I posted it because of the intro.

The intro was as much as I could get through.  It was sort of amusing, albeit mostly unintentionally thanks to the "Why aren't they in more of a hurry to develop multimillion dollar products for my lunatic niche?" screed coming off a little too heartfelt.  Then the live-action part began, and I remembered how that one guy jogging down the street with a butcher knife because "You run faster with the knife!" was the sum total of all the funny these guys have ever produced.

Ya, its all just a bit too forced. Sorta like in that scene in "Gamers", where the one gamer guy forces friends and family to hold a ceremony for a dead D&D character. It is probably funny to someone who's not had any exposure at all to the 'gaming' community, but it wouldn't be watched by someone in that category. Someone who has had even minimal exposure knows its too over the top and misses plenty of actual funny stuff available. It just comes off as lazy self-satisfied filming. Essentially just a guy trying to justify his equipment purchases by deeming himself a comedic auteur.

I should get back to nature, too.  You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer.  Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached.  Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe

Ugh.  That totally misses why Yahtzee is funny:  He's a self-hating, self-deprecating misanthrope who will regularly point out his own hypocrisy.

Yahtzee is funny because he's good at using his words. More than that and you're reading into the snarky guy who doesn't quite review games way too much.

That intro was quite funny.
