Borderlands 2 is surprisingly....fun.

Ironbite-despite what Yatzhee said about it

I find that, over the years, Yahtzee is becoming less of an interesting personality and game critic, and more of an over-opinionated hack that can occasionally be amusing.

Zero Punctuation is basically a comedy show first and actual game criticism second. It's best not to take what he says too seriously. If you want a more honest and useful critique, you're better off reading Extra Punctuation.

Aye, its just that, for me, the comedy's become a bit stale as of late.  Tis why I prefer LPs and such, nowadays.  I get to see the game for myself, and can thus form my own opinions.  'Sides, I can get both entertainment and information from Sips and Sjin, why do I need a British-born Aussie with an ego the size of Manhattan?

Some of his reviews still amuse me, though I haven't watched them in the past few weeks. But yeah, if you take them seriously, you'll probably never find a game to play.

I haven't watched ZP in over a year and a half. That said, there are exactly four reviews to take seriously: The L4D one, the Portal one, the Painkiller one and the Saint's Row 2 one.

Also Spec Ops: The Line, but he pretty much spoils the game for anyone who hasn't played it.

I despise people who spoil the game in reviewing it. I have been able to make dozens of reviews without spoiling something.

Well, it's really hard to give a review of Spec Ops that doesn't spoil it unless it's nothing but "Go play this game. I don't care what it looks like. Play it."

I was going to comment on how Yahtzee always accentuates on the negative and that he's a terrible, egotistical reviewer and his followers considers his reviews "The Gospel" and are devoid of critical thinking skills, but then I realized that all this time I've been taking his stuff too seriously. Much like those sore teenagers who whined about his "negative" review on Super Smash Brothers Brawl.

One good thing I got out of the TTLG forums was that, apparently, one of the ladies there was one of his exes, and it seems that his ego is quite genuine.  That is to say, its not just part of his act.  There's also begging his fans for money to visit them at PAX or somesuch when The Escapist could've easily footed the bill.

The Escapist is a bunch of cheap assholes. The never would have done that. They'd rather cut their own dicks off.

True that.  Tis a pathetic state; you've got the coin to send one of your front-runners to a well-known convention, and you won't foot the bill despite the fact it'd be a perfect opportunity to get new folks coming to your site.  People just don't think, do they?
