    Looks great. I will definitely watch. I just hope it doesn't get put on G4. I'm not paying extra a month for that station.

    The timing of the humor in the show is like a ZP if it was stretched out, which gives it a little less punch. The talk-show bits also needed a bit more work in discussion, so I hope they fixed those issues and made a show that was something to look forward to.

    Inb4 G4 hires them for a week.

    @Railgun5: Agreed. They might consider actually highlighting the guy who is actually famous a little bit more as well.

    Yes I know that the other guys do a podcast, but Yahtzee's left toe has more fan clout than either of them, and he's clearly way funnier.

    I have no earthly idea why they spent so much time promoting Yug playing host.

    @Yossarian: The issue is that if they highlighted Yahtzee all the time, it'd be "Oh, let's go watch that show because that guy with a funny accent that talks fast is on it" as opposed to "Let's go watch that show because it's entertaining/informational(?) and has those WACKY antics that we know and love. And Yahtzee too."

    Hmm. I'll give it a shot, but I'm still not sure.
    Still has that awkwardness there, I just don't think they are cut out for TV. Otakuman mentioned Top Gear of gaming, but I just don't think the charisma or chemistry is there.
    Currently I'm fine with the 5-10min ZP sketches, and I'm not sure how they will flesh out a whole show, the little parodies would only go so far before you've covered most of the cliches.

    @fELIXADER: My apologies if you're a Yuggy.

    I'm sure his podcast is fantastic, this, though, not so much.

    Anyway, if Yahtzee can tarnish his brilliance with this and still have rabid fans, then I can be a starred commentor and still have opinion and keep at least one or two of the people who have hearted me.

    Maybe.

    @Yossarian: It was less a problem with your oppinion than how you brougth it up.

    I think with a star you should be an good example to all of us and base your oppinion on more and elaborate choosen words to prove all those firsters wrong. ^^

    Oh and what is a Yuggy? ^^

    Why go this route?

    Is there not a market for just Yahtzee to keep doing his reviews? Maybe up the production values a bit and write alternate versions that are TV friendly?

    @Yossarian: Because eventually "Zero Punctuation" gets old. I know a lot of guys that have stopped watching entirely because they've moved on to the next thing. No one blames Yahtzee for trying to expand.

    @False: If you can't stay fresh and interested putting together one 5 minute bit per week, then good luck turning out twenty-three 22 minute shows per season.

    Hey could prove me wrong, but this doesn't seem to be in his wheelhouse. Zero Punctuation, however, clearly is. IMO he should be taking that format and trying to see how to expand it. Doing a variety game review show may not cut it.

    Yay....British snarkiness at its worst. Three guys who have never done anything in the games industry. I didn't think it would be possible to get worse than Yahtzee's terrible cynicism but it looks like he dug up two additional overly critical loudmouths to pollute the internet with . Lame...I wont be watching this.....ever.

    1. Ben Croshaw ( Yahtzee) is the only British one, other two are Australian
    2. Ben has also got some indie game development and games journalism under his belt
    3. No one is forcing you to watch it.

    @Daisuash: It would have to be "Nom" no spaces in scrabble I'm afraid. Also, no abbreviations allowed so no "MILF" either. However "plzthxbye" would net you a pretty score. :)

    I'd take Scrabble happily. Even though I already bought a Pogo account almost solely for Scrabble already.

    Im all over Scrabble. But one thing that always puzzled me was why they went to the trouble of releasing a retail disc for Monopoly and didn't just throw an XBLA game of it out there. The XBLA version I would have bought for sure.

    I think it's just awkward because of the nature of this whole couch-sitting...thing. I feel like they are too aware that they are on the spot, and not acting candid like a podcaster behind a microphone. The features idea is just refreshing, but the skits are...meh.


    ...B-, keep up the good effort.
