Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 958 Joined: 25 Sep 2008     | .. just let it be, ignore the contest, ignore the badge and ignore the fanboys. 's All I can say. I haven't even watched this ZP yet. |

Either that or they're part of FeNinja's anti-holly offensive. |

Press Junketeer  Posts: 421 Joined: 23 Nov 2008     | Hmmm...as much as I like Yahtzee's reviews, I am not sure if I can even do this contest. Didn't realize there was one until I found this thread. If the badge has chocolate on it, however, whoo boy, that badge is MINE. EDIT: Hehehe...check me out now. |

Muckraker  Posts: 249 Joined: 4 Jun 2008    | Everybody's a fan of something, and some people pursue their interests to the level of becoming fanboys. There's nothing wrong with it until you start getting weird about it. For example if I were camped in the bushes outside a Brisbane with a telephoto lens just waiting for that perfect shot of Yahtzee sitting on the toilet, somebody better haul my happy arse away to the nearest asylum for a rousing regimen of medication and beatings. Because I'd need them. |

Hey, I don't use holly because Chopper wouldn't use holly. He'd tell holly to harden the f*ck up! Plus, I suck with photo programs and I really don't want to spend the time putting holly onto something for a couple days. Now, when Mardi Gras comes around, you bet Chopper will be thronged with beads! |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 551 Joined: 9 Oct 2008    | I learned about the escapist because of ZP, but the other videos are fun to watch as well, i m just as eager for the next unforgotten realms video as i m for ZP (does anyone know if there will be another unskipable video any time soon?) Sry about not having holly, first i couldn't add it, when i figured out how, i forgot to, and now i dot have time |

Paperboy Posts: 47 Joined: 19 Nov 2008 | I would watch each ZP review a dozen times and still not get every single clip down. |

So, does that make you better or worse than me? I was able to recognize all but four of the episodes from the clips provided. |

I'll help you with number 10, thats the dick in pudding one right? Well either way. It was an older game that Yahtzee always wanted to review. User was banned for: Poll: Round 5 - Field of Four - (1) Turbine vs (1) Nintendo. (Permanent) |
On the Record  Posts: 6846 Joined: 23 Dec 2007  | I don't even care enough about ZP to ever watch that one again, let alone participate in the contest, or notice if the video section was evaporated from the face of the earth, unless Virgil compensates for that effect by adding a large amount more of ads. |

Or C: Their computer doesn't have any photoshop like application because they own a mac and all the space was used up for Final Cut and various footage and videos |

Paperboy  Posts: 33 Joined: 11 Dec 2008  | Greh... I got all but 2 of them. I know bloody well that there will not be a reward worth the investment of time, but now that there's only two left walking away feels like a sort of failure... Sort of likethe last 5 million hit points of Yiazmat, or the last three hours of Breakdown. Well, no, Breakdown was more or less worth it. |

Why with the hatin'? I jut picked the icon because I couldn't find anything else that looked decent. I mean, seriously, I like the ZP reviews, and they are what brought me to this wonderful little haven of cyberspace (god, that sounded nerdy), but does that make me a fanboy? |

Holly stinks. Holiday Apathy is where it's at. |
SUSPENDED Posts: 1388 Joined: 31 Aug 2008 | Also, you can just copy/paste a name into all the boxes and click check. Repeat that with all of them for an easy completion, but it would take a while.

So the escapist is having a contest for this week's Zero Punctuation. Believe you me, I know for a fact these are not the Yahtzee forums. (It's always fun to see the first 5-6 commentators on his videos insta-banned). The contest in question is to name what video each clip is from (as the video this week was a clip show (yes I know they apoligized, it's all good)).
In my opinion, this sort of thing, while fun as always, kind of instigates a horrid collaboration of ZP fanboys and Badge-whores. I just pray they don't decide to procreate.
Your thoughts? Do you think it's a bad idea? Do you like it? Or are you a proud Yahtzee fanboy and you're glad you can show it in a different way than screaming 'FISRT!!'?
