Definitely. This guy's schtick was entertaining for the first couple of listens but now I just find it irritating. Hopefully his verbal Macarena will be going out of style soon.

Post by: y2kev on March 20, 2008, 12:21:49 PM: I was going to say he needs to go more substantive and maybe talk slower, but I thought this was a pretty serious review for Yahztee...I thought he was done when he brought up RACISM in Uncharted.

Post by: Eel O'Brian on March 20, 2008, 02:03:43 PM: how is there racism in uncharted

i was usually too far away from the guys i was shooting to tell if they were white or black or whatever

or if they were even people, really

Post by: Joe Molotov on March 20, 2008, 05:51:28 PM: I can't believe he just trashed Turok. Too many good people spent way too much time working on that game to let him get away with something like that! :maf

Post by: Eric P on March 20, 2008, 10:02:46 PM: well the attempts to relaunch him in the early 2000s as Magnus Robot's Butler really didn't work

but hey, he's shallow and formulaic! perfect for video games!

They obviously don't know about all the hard work that went into Turok, unlike all the other games out there. Did they not see the stickied thread??!?

Tragedy.
