Also, just so you don't think of him as a guy who just does funny video reviews, he has a homepage where you can see some of the adventure games he made (which a really bloody good!), and read some of his essays that he's written.

His homepage: http://www.fullyramblomatic.com
His Essays: http://www.fullyramblomatic.com/essays/
His Games: http://www.fullyramblomatic.com/games.htm

Check out his observations on whether Ninja's can Co-exist with Pirates.

Don't forget the reviews that got him his job...

The Darkness (demo)

Fable: The Lost Chapters

After getting the job

Morlar · 17-01-2008 11:44am

These are class - that medal of honour airbourne is the funniest one so far.

tman · 17-01-2008 6:22pm

Thanks for this, there's a couple that I somehow managed to miss the first time around.
Love the quote from the end of the Heavenly Sword(s) demo/Resi 5 one. "I don't think we need to start worrying about RE5 until they break out the fried chicken":p

Don't quite see the point. Isn't most of this on The Escapist anyway?

Yea I was thinking that.. but were most likely going to be on boards more than on the escapist anyway..

I honestly dont mind some people including myself thought it was a nice idea so I made this thread I can just update it everyweek unless I forget

Jazzy · 18-01-2008 9:33am

"Yahtzee you charismatic stallion"

still my favorite line i think, one of the most memorable anyway

Doctor DooM · 18-01-2008 9:44am

I like the end of the guitar hero one:

"I'M NOT GAY!"

Jimmy Bottlehead · 18-01-2008 1:08pm

Chaps, give the mans games a lash, especially 5 Days a Stranger. I defy anyone to finish it and not be highly impressed / aroused :P

Morlar · 18-01-2008 1:30pm

American GI at the MOH-Airborne Berlin Defence Tower : Well this hardly seems fair !.

German at top of Berlin Defence Tower : 'Cry Mich Ein river'

The guy is bloody funny.

Ivan · 18-01-2008 2:36pm

he puts out his reviews about 5pm every wednesday. I have the page bookmarked and just open it up at some stage on wednesdays to have a look

cozmik · 20-01-2008 8:13am

Is there a text transcript for these reviews anywhere?

Retr0gamer · 30-01-2008 6:21pm

Very good review this week, you can tell he likes the game despite tearing it's flaws apart.

balkieb2002 · 30-01-2008 6:39pm

Yeah good review plus his usually funny rants. Liked his take on Umbrella as well.

Best part was last screen of end credits where he says

Yahtzee wrote:

Alright fine I'll do Call of Duty 4 if you promiese to shut up about it you whining twatblankets

Now thats a review i'm looking forward to!

Gunmonkey · 30-01-2008 6:54pm

"You lose your last millimetre of health to a zombie kittens piddle"

Pure gold writing.

This man deserves a medal or sainthood or his own planet.

Yeah, I love that series. I didn't realise that he'd made them until about a month ago.

ciano1 · 30-01-2008 8:28pm

Yup yahtzee is Brilliant !!

+1 for the sticky...

Morlar · 30-01-2008 9:21pm

'Starring jonny bravo, a prostitute, an idiot and a mullett' hehe. It looks like CDO4 is next wohoo !

BlitzKrieg · 30-01-2008 9:55pm

that review actually made me want to pick up umbrella chronicles, I was in stitches the whole way through

*whoot* for hulk hogan and captain planet!

yoyo · 30-01-2008 9:57pm

Can't wait for COD4 one

I only realised just now. Very impressed to be honest.

Ri_Nollaig · 31-01-2008 1:29am

lol @ "the EA strategy"
another gem

looking forward to his review of cod4 but he never seems to review the multiplayer aspect of games and that has to be cod4's strongest part...

Grim. · 31-01-2008 2:59am

lmao at the "EA Strategy"

Jack Sheehan · 31-01-2008 4:50pm

This should be stickyed, since every week theres discussion and a new video.

dazftw · 02-02-2008 8:30pm

About 14 posts too slow:p

johnny_ultimate · 06-02-2008 5:53pm

Unreasonably obsessed with CoD4? Irritated your favourite game reviewer has yet to review it? Stopped playing team deatchmatch for 4 minutes and 10 seconds because your eyes are bleeding?
Here you go.

He liked it

Stephen · 06-02-2008 6:19pm

triple c*nted hookers!

BlitzKrieg · 06-02-2008 6:25pm

I like his graph of perfection

Bubs101 · 06-02-2008 7:14pm

Didn't like that one as much as the others. Liked the big fish though

FunkyChicken · 06-02-2008 10:58pm

Yeah it wasn't as funny as his other ones but still got a couple of laughs

Creature · 07-02-2008 12:18am

Lol this man is a master of words. Another good review.

"Unspecified-istan"

I dunno: Portal > Jesus, in my experience.

Jack Sheehan · 13-02-2008 5:21pm

This Week: Sim City Societies

Gingervitis · 13-02-2008 5:21pm

The way he talks about this game, it seems identical to Caesar 3 (minus the war)
Quite funny though, pretty good TF2 bit at the end as well

Jack Sheehan · 13-02-2008 5:23pm

Yes, TF2+love story= brilliance

johnny_ultimate · 27-02-2008 9:26pm

Uncharted

ZOMG! Yahtzee reveals himself!
Great, bile soaked review.

Sarky · 27-02-2008 9:30pm

He's 5 years older than me and looks 5 years younger. Bastard.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 27-02-2008 9:36pm

lol, that was good

he seemed to speak a bit less eloquently in the section where we actually saw him. little bit camera shy?

Doctor DooM · 27-02-2008 9:51pm

I think its pretty cool the way he waited just long enough for himself to be fully established as a disembodied voice before breaking the 4th wall for humourous effect.

Mr E · 27-02-2008 11:38pm

Xbox fanboy, perhaps?

".. might as well wear a tshirt that says I will die or turn evil .."

kaimera · 28-02-2008 10:20am

Epicly good.

Best review in a while I felt.

Stephen · 28-02-2008 11:26am

And there was me thinking he used software to speed up his voice

madrab · 28-02-2008 12:12pm

great review, one of his funniest

Branoic · 28-02-2008 12:45pm

He revealed himself previously on the site (although admittedly not through a review) during his written travelogue of his trip to the States to visit the Valve offices. It's a good article, with plenty of pictures.

Kinetic^ · 28-02-2008 1:45pm

This guy is great. So funny!!
