Bonus round: James Sunderland is his calendar.
Yahtzee's review is actually pretty fair - Noobtoob for example said that they were tired of Final Fantasy 13 and people defended it saying it got better a good 15 hours in. That's not much of a justification when most games usually take about 8-10 hours to utterly complete themselves.
They also brought up an excellent point in saying that a game being criticized for being 'too short' is a useless criticism. Saying it's too short means that they knew how much content they had to spread over the course of an entire game and didn't overexert themselves. This is why Portal is sheer awesome - it may be short but any longer and it'd officially be overwhelming.
I do find it kind of funny that his criticisms are largely the same as Noncon's, minus absolutely everything about the combat anyway.
