Zero Punctuation for the win!

Technically there's something new every week. And besides, I like hearing what people whose intellect I respect think of him, rather than the people on Escapist comment threads. Besides besides, this is for discussing all of the stuff escapist is doing, including articles which we may or may not agree with.

Though admittedly the rest of the stuff on that site may be more than tag-alongs.

I was just going on what you said in your first post.
 

Not all else on the site is dumb, in my opinion. I watch Movie-Bob and have somewhat enjoyed There Will Be Brawl as well.

I used to watch ZPunctuation every week and it was funny but somewhere along the line he lost his touch and his originality and started making the same jokes every week to the point where if I had played the game I could predict the gist of his reviews beforehand- thus no funny.
Rest of site has nothing that I've found to be any good.

Yahtzee's a pussy.
 

I am inclined to agree. I still tune in every week, roughly, but it's much less "hoshit it's wednesday afternoon!" than it used to be.

Wondering if its just the games themselves being boring and predictable though.

Gaming news sites? I don't know if you'd call the Escapist that - the only 'news' segment there is practically rolls in satire every week. It's mostly an entertainment channel with a slew of articles and the occasional review.

I mean you're fine in not liking it but I feel that comparing it to 1up or Kotaku (Which you may or may not be doing) is a bit unfair to it.

You haven't seen the limerick review, have you? He does vary it up to keep things interesting.
