Zero Punctuation

Post by RadarScope1 »

Any of you guys ever watch this? Hilarious. This week's episode is of a retro variety.

yeah, racket and some others posted about him a couple weeks ago with his "console rundown" video.

Either way, he's freakin' hilarious and I look forward to much more from him.

Hilarious but not all true. Anniversary was the first one in the SERIES that I had fun with, and I tried them all at some point or another.

I actually might have had fun with the original on Saturn, but not enough fun to remember having any, obviously. I just know I owned it.

I watched the BioShock one too.
Haven't played the game, but the clip is still entertaining.

Zero Punctuation is hilarious. Hopefully it doesn't hold him back too much from making more cool free games, though :(

His Trilby series and 1213 were sexcellent.

I saw the Tomb Raider one and went to check out the Console war one and it was really funny :)

Meh

I stopped watching halfway through.

Making fun of Tomb Raider=old. Seriously, that's like making fun of our current president

And for the record, Resident Evil 4 brought the "simon says" gameplay back to popularity. God of War copied THAT.

And this is just the usual whiny gamer with no skill complaining about camera angles, etc, etc. And of course, like EVERYONE who bashed Tomb Raider he makes it sound like the games were nothing more than porn for teens. The original had a lot more going for it than that.

This is unoriginal, stale, tired comedy.

That's as ridiculious as saying that Cold Fear is a Resident Evil 4 knock off or that Mafia was a Grand Theft Auto 3 knock off. They were in development at the same time and were released fairly close together. Interviews with developers of both games mention that GoW and RE4 both nicked the Dragon's Lair-ish sequences from Shenmue and Dynamite Deka (in addition to the classic laserdisc games).

You're trying way too hard to be edgy and different.

Whether his topics are new or not, his high-speed delivery, amusing visuals, and really the gestalt of the thing are truly funny.
