When Crecente wrote about the original GameDamage pilot in December of last year, he suggested the dynamic trio keep at it and polish up the writing a bit. After watching the trailer that was just released on the GameDamage.net web page, I'd say they took that advice. They also seem to have found some extra money as well, as the production values are much higher than they were previously. This is a show I could see myself watching.

And I might just get to see it. GameDamage is being showcased at the MIPCOM media content event in Cannes, France, where the team is finalizing distribution deals for the program. Looks like we could be seeing a lot more of Yahtzee in the near future.

<![CDATA[Yahtzee Damages Games, With Friends, In Front of a Camera]]> I have been an on-again and off-again fan of Yahtzee's cutting comedic game reviews since they first hit scene.

It's clear that he's got the timing and the comedy chops to make things work, but Zero Punctuation hasn't been a must watch for me now for months.

So I was happy to see that he's exploring new avenues for his take on video games. The latest avenue comes in the form of a television show on games and includes two new faces, Yug and Matt. Both of them, it seems, delightfully Australian.

I love the concept: Live Action Yahtzee, but this initial go seems to struggle a bit. Still, there are some genuinely funny moments and the intro is just astounding.

The show is currently looking for ad money or some network support to swoop in and gobble them up. I'd just say keep at it and hone those rough spots. Too bad the economy is in such a hole right now.
