Shouldnt the escapist interview Ben Croshaw?
Zero Punctuation has become a highlight of my wednesdays.
I would love to learn more about him!
1. Is it hard to make a video before the week long dead line.
2. Is there ever a time where you really do not want to play the game that is assigned for your review?
3. ARE the games assigned? Or do you get to choose?

etc. etc. etc.

This thread is for you guys to post questions you want to ask the creator of Zero Punctuation.
Hopefully if this thread gets enough hits then perhaps the Escapist will eventualy get around to thinking about interviewingMr. Croshaw for us! :D

I saw an interview with him on a show called 'Not Quite Art'.

It was interesting, and insightful.

I'll try and find the episode.

EDIT:

Portkins:
Here you go

It seems that it got to Youtube. Impressive.

This would be nice. Find out what scarred him so early in life so that he hated almost all games.

Listen to the Australian Gamer podcast, Yahtzee turns up on that every second podcast these days.

Anyone here in Melbourne should turn up at the EGE tomorrow to see the Callapygian Superman himself.

It's really strange to see him being "Yahtzee" in the real world.

"Old people will die first."

Um-hmm. Yes. Yes, indeed.

He's pretty mild mannered in person it seems...

He's also really, really skinny and british looking.

Everything any reasonable person would ever want to know about Yahtzee is on Fully Ramblomatic. He's actually got quite an impressive assortment of stories and articles and what not.

Interesting, Yahtzee only linked to his interview a week or two ago, but I saw the show two months ago.

God one thing I want to know is how pissed off yahtzee is about his videos latly.
He cant use his own music anymore without fear of getting sued so he has to use a generic intro (no offence), his videos occasionaly have trailers of new games out after the end and his latest video is "sponsored" by banjo-kazooie.
I just wanna know what he thinks about the commercialization of his vids.

I think he is pretty fine about that. I mean, he seems to actually think the new intro sounds good (not implying it doesn't) and as for commersialisation. http://www.youtube.com/user/yahtzee19?ob=4

Great thread... Since a a few weeks i watched and listened to many things where Yathzee was involved.
That man is one character!
The podcast on the australian gamer is quiet enjoyable.
Interessting questions would be:
How long does It take to make a ZP-Video?
Do you have a day job?
Who chooses the games you review?
Has there already been an attempt to buy your opinion?

He was actually born in Britain (I think), but moved to Australia.

On topic, an interview with Yahtzee would be a good idea. I'd like to know where he comes up with all of his metaphors for his videos - some of them are bizarre to say the least.

I'd really like to have a beer with that guy, after seeing that interview. He reminds me of the friend everyone has that's clueless around people so is overly sarcastic, but is such a good person you want to help 'em get laid when you're out in a bar despite their occasional dickness.

Well... true enough... but I was hoping for something more than 5 minutes. Pen and paper interview are usually a lot more ... informative... or contain a vaster amount of info than their video cousins.
