There's an interesting, if pretty short, interview with him up on GameSpot,

Anybody check out the reviews on thespoonyexperiment.com, (zero punctuation mentions liking them in that interview on gamestop) I looked at "The Thing" and it seemed pretty good, (I'm looking at the FF8 review, but its 8 videos long)

BlitzKrieg · 23-03-2008 03:12AM

oh sweet jesus some of those reviews are fantastic

http://www.spoonyexperiment.com/games/SamuraiZombieNation/

he doesnt have the charm of yahtzee, but his reviews of samurai zombie nation and robin hood were brilliant.

It gets funnier as it goes along but doesn't seem to have an ending.

I think he gets a bit too hung up on the whole 'drawing' thing in FF8.... I don't remember it being overly essential at all to do it to that extent.

I don't remember it being overly essential at all to do it to that extent.

I think I went the first 2 cds without ever doing it, or assigning magic to my stats.

I know I missed a number of GFs because of that etc.

Final fantasy 8 was my first final fantasy so I think I just stumbled blindly through it for 3cds and then said *f*ck this* I'm going home.

monkeyfudge · 23-03-2008 04:41PM

I lost my 4th CD...

You could prob pick it up for about a fiver these days

BlitzKrieg · 23-03-2008 05:05PM

good excuse.

I just never completed any final fantasy game I have started, 6,7,8 and 10.

Though I got pretty far in 10 (I got inside sin.)

Yeah, he dragged that out a bit, but it gets so funny after it (the Mentos ads and "Dude, she's 18 and she whips people. I've to go to Tiahuana and pay women like that to pay attention to me!" bits had me in stitches).

bizmark · 24-03-2008 10:38PM

The thing review is great as well random irish danceing animation glitches ftw

kaimera · 26-03-2008 05:07PM

tick tock

mayordenis · 26-03-2008 06:35PM

he should really spell the name of the game correctly

johnny_ultimate · 26-03-2008 07:41PM

He is quite right about the dodgy Wii controls, but I think I enjoyed the game far more than he did.

And I think the wrong spelling was a joke

Stephen · 26-03-2008 07:57PM

Yeah, its **** & Sticky.

5uspect · 26-03-2008 08:12PM

This guy is a genius and must be stickied for those that do not know.

Mr E · 27-03-2008 12:51AM

I liked the dig at Roberta Williams (yes I'm old and yes I remember her sh1t games)

monkeyfudge · 27-03-2008 02:55AM

Yep.. I could never understand why there were so many of the bloody things... who exactly was she sleeping with?

Aha didn't notice the misspelling at the start, just noticed it changing as the review progressed (Wack and Zichi and so on).
Apologies!

She was a feminist. If people didn't give her money to make Kings Quest 45: The Search for Richard Nixon's Gold she just accused the publishers of sexual harrassment.

It had a reference to munging, the man is a genius and should be given a comedy medal or something.

balkieb2002 · 02-04-2008 06:49PM

Excellent up to his usual good standards and he did well to cut down on the gay jokes after his first rant.

By the way I love

Best Smiley Face Ever!!

humanji · 02-04-2008 07:26PM

I love the way he seems to be getting more and more pissed off that Australia is getting games months after they're released everywhere else.
