My wife and I have watched all of his reviews since he started posting them at The Escapist. Heck, my wife hardly knows anything about the games he reviews but still loves to watch them.

This guy is consistently excellent. Love the "howling dic&hole" line. And I'm with him on the C64. Best. Ever

I know this guy is the new hot s*** right now, but frankly I don't get it.

So his deal is he rags on everything he can get his hands on, talks really fast and throws up cute little animations? Oh I forgot and he has an accent which somehow makes it funnier.

I never got Benny Hill either so I just chalk up my confusion to that.

Its more like game satire. And its clever. To call this Benny Hill comedy is an ignorant statement.

EDIT:

So let me get this straight I say I don't like something and you turn it into a personal attack?

Lucky for you they don't actually mod this place like OS

Actually, I said the analogy to Benny Hill was an ignorant statement. How is that a personal attack. Benny Hill used misogynistic humor. This is more satirical. But hey if you thought it was a personal attack I can see where you get confused over Benny Hill.

I thought it was funny (all of his were funny). I just wonder if he does these all in one take - I imagine some protools would be involved.

Whoa, whoa whoa! Let's not go dragging Benny Hill's good name into the sewer of your flame war

I mod. Scoop mods. We just kick it with different mod-fu.

I learned my modding from ascetic monks in the mountain highlands.

Oh you're right I can see the difference now. Let me play because the below is not a personal attack by this forums standards.

Jrod I think you could have responded in a better manner to my posts if you really weren't trying to incite something. But I understand with your limited social skills and the desire to make yourself feel tough from behind a computer screen that it was wishful thinking at best.

I was thinking what would make this guy really want to start in with me, then it hit me. I've got to tell you big guy next time don't hold a grudge for this long, it will eat you up inside. To be perfectly clear if we look back it wasn't really me making an ass out of you in the APF thread, you managed that all on your own.

Also I fell compelled to inform you that because you think something is clever and funny, that doesn't make it so for everyone else. That's why everyone has different tastes, for example I prefer women and I would guess you prefer them as well. Just because your women require a credit card doesn't make your way weird, just more costly.

But hey no hard feelings, congrats on seizing the opportunity to make yourself feel good. I understand that this is something that probably is a rare occurance in your everyday life, if at all. Carpe diem! Bravo!

Enjoy the videos, they certainly are as clever as your posts.

I only ever get Yahtzee after I have already zeroed it out on the bottom of the scorecard.

Now, unfortunately, I have to mod.

Both of you, JRod and Danimal, stop. I'm going to lock this thread and give both of you a warning to quit the feuding.
