He reviewed a m-morpger?
Yahtzee, Reel Big Fish would like to have a word with you:
3
"This video is not available in your country."
what was it?

The record companys gonna give me lots of money and everythings gonna be alright.

Ah fuck when did youtube add regional controls? fuck fuck fuck I hate you MPAA/et al.

Yahtzee doesn't really hate mahmorpaguhs, he even says so.
2
Did he say minutay?
3
It was supposed to be "minutiae," which I believe is generally pronounced "mah-noo-sha."

I think "min-you-tee-ay" is acceptable also.

...did nobody else notice the BIG FUCKING HUGE AGE OF CONAN ORDER NOW BANNERS EMBLAZONED ON THE SIDES OF THE PAGE?! I mean C'MON!@# Yahtzee didn't even really lay into this game with his usual blunt banter. It's over, he fucking sold out.

A - There are no Conan ads for me. (edit) So they aren't the sole sponsors of the site or anything. Not to mention that those Conan ads are everywhere right now.
B - It sounded perfectly normal for ZP. What, is calling its user base "tragic virgins" while suggesting they want to live in a Boris Vallejo painting not blunt enough?
C - When you're imagining conspiracy theories involving Yahtzee, you've been on Reddit too long.

I Saw the same ad as Johnnycheeks. Not to say that its a bloody conspiracy but it is hard to stay objective when you listen to a critique that is sandwiched between ads promoting it.

I see that all the time. Hell, I barely even think about it.
Yahtzee has been FAR nicer to games than he was to Conan. The impression I got is that it was a thoroughly mediocre WoW clone with nothing to recommend it but the setting, yet without anything being so completely broken that he could just lay into it like he did with AITD last week.
In fact, without rewatching it, can't think of a single good thing he said about the game. When he started on something that might have been a complement, there was a "but" following it. Even when discussing a normally fun RPG activity - like swarming baddies with your horde of reanimated followers - he discussed it in very negative terms.
Which led me to my "C". The most obvious reason someone would listen to this completely normal Yahtzee review and immediately start screaming about how he's "sold out" is if they were actively looking for a conspiracy.
Hence the part about being on Reddit too long.

Nope. I adblocked http://static.escapistmagazine.com/media/global/images/cskins/* months ago.

It is sad that we have to explain this every single time someone asks if we saw the ads on a page.
4
Yeah, you'd think reddit would know about adblock by now.
Also, I'm wondering why I got downmodded to hell. If someone who downmodded would care to explain, maybe I could improve future comments.

Go kill yourself.

It's zero punctuation, but there's punctuation in the title. hahaha, im so original.

I would say it's more like art in the title!

What's incredible is the Picasso-esque masterpiece that happy little house is transformed to in the title bar of my Safari.

I think we caught on to that joke, and this one, a while ago.

For me, it's already a meta-joke. Congratz. Upmoded.
