Zero Punctuation

A video review series by Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw. Gained popularity on Youtube with a speed not seen since the Angry Video Game Nerd, and after only two quite funny videos was hired by online magazine The Escapist. After being hired by The Escapist, the jokes in the reviews started to get less subtle, and subsequently less funny. Eventually, the guy simply got obnoxious, often making off-topic rants against anyone and anything that earned his ire, most egregious when he said that Halo was unoriginal, then later said that he had never played a Halo game in his Halo 3 review. The rampancy of his unchecked ego became most obvious in his "review" of Super Smash Bros Brawl, where he simply spent half of the video bashing anyone who may like Smash Bros, then dedicated a whole video to the hate mail his excuse for a review generated. He seemed quite surprised that people responded negatively to the fact that he had spent two minutes simply bashing anyone who doesn't share his tastes. Has a legion of idiotic fanboys who will declare that Yahtzee proves that whatever game he reviews has just been PUHOWNED!!1 and that Yahtzee is the only reliable reviewer, then yelling at anyone who disagrees with Yahtzee that his videos are for humour value only and shouldn't be taken seriously, too busy trying to earn Yahtzee's love to notice the contradiction.
