I have a new video out, like that even needs saying anymore. The Witcher this time. Also there's a little self-indulgence in there because I've been doing reviews for months and need to do something new to keep my interest in the world alive.
I like playing Team Fortress 2. It's fun. And if you hang around a server that gets a decent low ping in eastern Australia, there's a chance I may some day join a server that you are on. Should that happen, remember to follow these guidelines:
- Always interrogate me the moment I have one foot in the door as to whether I'm 'the real Yahtzee' or not. Insist I go on voice chat to prove my identity while the enemy busily penetrate our defenses. This will swiftly endear you to me.
- Once my identity is confirmed to your satisfaction, or not, spend the entire game quoting myself at me in all caps in both text and voice chat. It's very gratifying to be reminded that my reviews are very popular and that some of my lines have entered meme territory, and being constantly reminded of this will help my confidence and improve our chances of winning.
- Don't be fooled by my stony silence up to this point - secretly, I'm probably on the verge of inviting you to my next birthday party. Ensure that this happens by adding me to your friends list and trying to open Steam chat with me while I'm in the middle of something important. Obviously since I have total misanthropic hatred for 99% of my fellow man, it's important that I communicate with as many of them as possible to remind myself of why.
- Relish verbally every single time you kill me, because obviously being a gaming industry professional I am some kind of higher order of being, and besting me in a game of skill is a sure sign that you have a valid claim to all the thrones of Europe.
- Remember to get catty when I unexpectedly log off. I'm probably just overwhelmed to the point of tears by the wonderful friends I have made.I have a new video out, like that even needs saying anymore. The Witcher this time.... more

What pisses me off is when people say I'm not a 'real' reviewer because I try to be funny. They usually say this when I've slagged off a game they like. What the hell do you define as a 'real' review, anyway? I give my honest opinion on the games I play and give reasons why I like or don't like them. What more do you want? Is it because I don't put percentages or stars out of five at the end? Because I think that opinions on video games can't be represented numerically?
The response to my review of Phantom Hourglass is what brought this on, incidentally, because apparently a bad Zelda game is like a cow lying down in the road in India and you're not allowed to complain.
Still waiting on some music from Mods before I can think about releasing the new game. Go nag him.What pisses me off is when people say I'm not a 'real' reviewer because... more

Isn't patriotism a strange thing? I agree with the point Richard Dawkins made once that patriotism is the kissing cousin to religious fundamentalism. Both demand that the practitioner blindly trumpet the superiority of one mode of thinking above all others for no rational reason. And both also discourage questioning the truth of the facts offered because such a thing is somehow morally wrong. I bring this up because I reviewed Medal of Honor: Airborne and some people seem to have taken it all as a personal disservice to the randomly-chosen land mass upon which they first gained consciousness in this lifetime.Isn't patriotism a strange thing?
