Wow Yahtzee, you’ve done the impossible. You have a television program running previews of a freaking 3-minute review. Yeah, did you hear? X-Play will be running a snippet of your upcoming Zero Punctuations every Tuesday night. And including the clip’s introduction, run time, and accompanying in-show bumpers, we wouldn’t be surprised if this Tuesday teaser took just as long as your actual Wednesday review.
It’s ludicrous media piggybacking, but we don’t blame you…pending that you sleep on a big pile of greenbacks after a hard day’s work.
When Capcom released a rail shooter as their next installment to Resident Evil, it was almost asking for a once over by Zero Punctuation’s Ben Croshaw. All in all he’s pretty fair to the game and the concept, though thank goodness for black boxes covering cartoon privates. Favorite line (abridged): “Do you remember what those villains from Captain Planet were like, how they’d steal an oil tanker and deliberately crash smack into a beach just to teach the sea lions a lesson in complacency …well that’s basically the Umbrella Corporation.”

Zero Punctuation, everyone’s favorite video game rant reviewer, will be making a guest appearance at this year’s Game Developer Choice Awards during the GDC next month.
Ben “Yahtzee” Croshaw is producing three new Zero Punctuation shorts to be played during the ceremony to present his personal awards for video game achievements last year. Hopefully, they won’t lose any of their bite just because they’re being made specifically for a group of developers. I suspect they may, in fact, be even more sharp-tongue and witted.
The three videos will pop up on The Escapist online magazine shortly after being shown during the ceremony.
