Imagine what could happen if the whole internet did this at once.

mozilla corp's servers melt?

What a wonderful world where even horrible games can bring us entertainment.

What an awful world where the horrible games bring us more entertainment than the good ones.

I misplaced my original hammer and have found that a hammer made of wank does not work nearly as well.

*pause for extra moment of stare...

This was one of the few times I stayed for the advert after ZP. And it was pretty freakin' cool. Now, will the game be as cool as the trailer?
21
"Of course not" - Yahtzee

Makes me wonder if they considered the idea that it's probably a small fraction of the people who watch Zero Punctuation that stay for the ads after it's over, yet they waste bandwidth sending you the entire video file.
11
I think it's better (for them) that way, they have a much higher chance that the people watching it actually want to watch it.
1
If they actually want people to see the ads, they really ought to put some of them before the closing jokes.
Not that I want them to do that. Just saying.
1
The Escapist seems to be funded by a lot of MMORPGs
10
That's why he had the religious duty to piss all over Eve Online. Just to show them.
1
Still bugs me the ads are even there, despite this one not being for some shitty video series made by teenagers or someone with way too much time on their hands.
They're at the beginning, at the end, to the side of the video... At this rate they'll be popping up halfway through the damn thing.
2
Yeah. It is pretty terrible that people like Yahtzee want to get paid and have food and homes.

yeah, lord of the rings looks pretty kick ass. errr... i mean war hammer.
2
Come on, Lord of the Rings never had squigs.
(That's the big round hopping thing.)
1
Warhammer Online looks all kinds of cool... wonder if the game will actually look like that.
8
Warhammer Online IS all kinds of cool.
Beta is incredibly fun. If you enjoy PVP, it's easily the best thing since canned bread.
9
I have yet to find canned bread- so this is the best thing till canned bread?

You will epically kill mobs as they respawn. Just like the video, but not as epic!
1
Hm. I could have sworn there was a ZP last week, and the week before. If only there were some technology that could notify us automatically when a website posted new content!

We're saved! Praise Jeebus!

Good call, Yahtzee. Too Human has "pet project" written all over it.
I have it on good authority that this game took 16 years to make.
(For comparison, Duke Nukem Forever has taken 11.)
7
wasnt it originally slated for the N64?
1
I have no idea why, or how, but I feel the need to go and buy Too Human now.
Maybe I'm deeply troubled and this is the nerdy version of self harm.
5
I returned it the same day I bought it. Do yourself a favor and do something better with that time I wasted.
12
Oh so there might be nice cheap second hand copies?
6
An almost certain that there will be. Enjoy as much as you can I suppose.
5
Except that second-hand copies cost a mere five dollars lest at America's most common used game retailer...
1
$58.99
1
There is a demo on xbox live that will fill that void nicely for 15 minutes until you realize the empty space on the HD is more valuable and exciting than the game demo.

Enough beating around the bush. Review Spore!
5
I was in my gaming store on Sunday (was going in just to chat with the guy since I used to work there sort of, ended up getting Spore) and he related to me that the whole game can pretty much be played with just the right joystick.
That does not, in any way, sound entertaining. Great analogy on Yahtzee's part.
3
In my day we only had one joystick and one button and we liked it just fine.
13
Except when the joystick wouldn't even auto-center.
Then even we complained.
3
Pac-Man didn't even have the button.. just a joystick and a coin slot.
Before that it was just a coin slot and grainy 20's porn.
3
Remember the SF2 port to the Amiga? It sucked all kinds of dick, not the least of which was due to the one-button control scheme. Actually, I suppose there were two buttons--too few, in any case.
1
What would one do with a hammer made of wank?
2
Kill that which has no life perhaps?
2
One of the best ones hes made in a while, But a 5 minute ad pasted onto the end of the video. While watching the neeeded bashing of Too Human I kept an eye on the progress bar thinking that perhaps it was an extended episode or 2 in 1.
But I gotta say I loved that trailer for WAR. The Warhammer universe is rich in lore, but I also like the comedy built into this particular trailer. Looks like its staying true to its roots.

"A hammer made of wank."
1
He said that!!!
4
Hilarious. Actually, Yahtzee's hatred toward the game seems to have offset some of my own. Now I'm feeling by both giddy, and relieved. Thanks Yahtzee!
1
He is so right about the right stick. It felt like there was no connection with the player and no flow to the combat. I think it's safe to say the trilogy has been cancelled. Silicon Knights are working on a different IP for their next game, and considering how long it takes them to pump out just one video game, they probably wouldn't live long enough to make the sequels for Too Human.

So, did he like the game? I can't tell.

"too human is bad" - yahtzee. I'd say no.
0
Alright, Silicon Knights, so Too Human ended up sucking. Don't get yourself down, you can turn this around real easy. Simply Band-Aid a few of the biggest complaints and release it for PC for $39.99. Problem solved!

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

I too embarked on this crusade, amplifying your impact by 100%. Upmodded for religious downmodding.

I almost want to upmod you for the effort you put into your links.
Almost.
I would have if he used the ' and ,
It's about time this comment got a plus score people.
EDIT: Haha, he finally did it! Well done jdfong, you deserve every point.
[deleted]

Upmodded for recursive link on the final "r".

Yeah, this is crazy. Maybe we should be worried about the LHC.
You astound me, sir.
Congratulations on finally besting both our hearts and our minds.
haha, thanks, it only took half a year. To tell you the truth, I thought this day would never come, next week will be interesting.
I'm guessing you're screwed again next week. But I'll still be there, giving you the up vote.
Seeing this post at the top brought me more happiness than the birth of my first child.
Thanks, it made me pretty happy too

Upmodded out of pity. You have WAY too much time on your hands.
