Glorious Escapism Roleplay

Oh, I meant gaming in general. My television and playstation haven't been on in months...

But, I get what you mean. His Saints Row review was pretty damn awesome and made me laugh, even having no prior knowledge of the previous games.

Still, we're probably in a pretty similar spot when it comes to Yahtzee's reviews. I think I've only ever played like three or four of the games he's ever reviewed.

I pretty much just watch him for the humor.

He's quite talented. There are a lot of funny reviewers on the internet, but Yahtzee is still pretty damn unique. The amount of jokes both written and visual he manages to cram into these under five minute videos of his is still rather impressive to me, even after all the time I've been watching him.

He has a very dry wit and isn't afraid of offending. He's basically not paranoid about losing his job, and that make his comedy sweetened with bravery and a general disregard for the rules.

He's not in danger of losing his job, that's why he can get away with saying whatever the heck he wants. The Escapist know what they have in him and they also know that if they did cut him, another site would pick him up almost instantly.

But yeah, I find his sense of humor very engaging.

I mean, for me it's because he's very English, and I connect with that.

Well, him being English is definitely part of his charm, I'd say.
