Paperboy Posts: 36 Joined: 14 Sep 2009 | That was... compelling (only to continue the current trend) :D Seriously though, great cameo by Yahtzee, and I loved the x-ray vision for MGS and Super Saiyan 5 Vegeta. Great work, looking forward to next week. |

Gone Gonzo Posts: 4000 Joined: 23 Apr 2008 | Yahtzee's apparence was compelling. The video was cinematic. I give it a review score of [Divide by 0 error]. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 3228 Joined: 1 Nov 2007 | Well, how...compelling. It's nice to see an appearance from Yahtzee. It was rather...cinematic. |
Press Junketeer Posts: 416 Joined: 27 Aug 2009 | That was cinematic. Seem's even Yahtzee is getting involved in this compelling program. Yay ENN! |
Beat Writer Posts: 188 Joined: 21 May 2009 | Haha nice appearence from Yahtzee, could barely recognise him. Overall a compelling episode |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 4000 Joined: 23 Apr 2008 | Also, why was the Metal Gear Solid bit satrie? ;) |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1285 Joined: 24 Feb 2009 | My favorite yet, keep up the good work. |
Muckraker Posts: 292 Joined: 15 Apr 2009 | So GameSpot is the secret testing site for RoJo...of course! It all makes sense now. I notice how nobody has mentioned the Unskippable lad in the Scott-suit yet, so allow me to be the first to chuckle into me' bagpipes. |

Beat Writer Posts: 183 Joined: 8 Apr 2008 | Compelling, cinematic, and not very useful in a fight are 3 ways to describe me. |
Pulitzer Laureate Posts: 926 Joined: 25 Mar 2009 | This video did well to reinforce my preconceived notions and watching patterns for this show. I felt compelled by the cinematic experience, which much like the new MGS was not interactive whatsoever. 10 of 10 rojos. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 2466 Joined: 17 Apr 2008 | A very compellingly cinematic video (I don't think ninjaring matters at this point lol) Slightly suprising to see Yahtzee, maybe business is low at Zero Punctuation? |
Paperboy Posts: 20 Joined: 20 May 2009 | Might I add another stereotypical review line? If you fan of these kinda videos, watch it! |

Gone Gonzo Posts: 1837 Joined: 13 Jan 2009 | Damn Yahtzee you so sneaky :) |
Beat Writer Posts: 155 Joined: 8 Jan 2009 | As a Scotsman, I'm not sure whether or not to be offended by the video, so I won't. I like this formula better then what it's been in past episodes, a more Onion-like experience. Yahtzee was decently funny, but didn't really shine, not sure if it's the role that confined him or inexperience with on-screen comedy. |
Press Junketeer Posts: 500 Joined: 4 Jun 2008 |
I think LRR would take comparison to the Onion as a compliment.
I don't think he was trying to shine, just to contribute. He played it straight and that added to the overall experience, rather than going over the top and taking anything away from it. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1646 Joined: 17 Jun 2009 | That video was COMPELLING! lol at the comment on Vegeta! |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1441 Joined: 19 Feb 2009 | Wow, they actually got Yahtzee...That's awesome!!! |
Beat Writer Posts: 183 Joined: 19 Nov 2008 | hilarious keep em coming, i hope ENN is juust what gaming culture needs. kinda like our own onion |
Press Junketeer Posts: 369 Joined: 16 May 2008 | hey kathleen how are you doing? |
Beat Writer Posts: 155 Joined: 8 Jan 2009 |
I think that actually makes a very good point, considering he's responsible for his own projects he needs to focus on. Also, this video is of a very different tone and atmosphere than Yahtzee's usual rants and over-the-top comedic styling, using that would undoubtably distract focus away from Graham and Cathleen, which would weaken the video in my opinion. His role undoubtably supports the main focus of the video, without overpowering and ruining the dynamic. I can't help, though, but pick-up on a somewhat monotone pitch in his voice during the video. There were a few punchlines he delivered that could have benefited from more dynamic volume and intonation punctuation. He did infuse some into his delivery, but it was done so conservatively it felt overly contained, a certain meekness I attribute to being both out of character and placed in a role out of one's usual comfort zone and without a properly developed character persona to draw upon (or maybe I'm looking too much into something that doesn't need exploring). |

He *is* portraying an executive for a much less dynamic gaming journalism company than the Escapist, so I think it's natural for him to appear somewhat uninterested in the particulars of gaming, since he'd have other things on his mind, such as the state of his Audi or the prostitute under the conference table. |

Probably so, I'm sure I'm just focusing too much attention onto trivial minutia. |
Press Junketeer Posts: 500 Joined: 4 Jun 2008 |
That might be true. Mostly I wanted to provide a counter-point to your points, not completely invalidate them. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 2960 Joined: 8 Jun 2009 | This video was compelling. Especially the Yahtzee appearance. |
