I love the legally distinct yahtzee in the thumbnail

Congrats guys! Welcome to the world of being a self owned brand again!

Amazing that you turned around and produced this new "Not ZP" show so quickly without missing a beat.

I do appreciate that due to a technicality, like Doctor Who, Fully Ramblomatic is now a longer running series than Zero Punctuation

Hearing Yahtzee swear uncensored is like ambrosia to the eardrums.

Wow, can't believe Yahtzee made a third episode of Fully Ramblomatic after 15 years. Love the new style!

After years and damn near 2 decades of ZP, with all the change that had to happen, it’s still a classic Yahtzee episode and I couldn’t be more grateful.

For the past few years, every time a new ZP dropped, I would take a moment to wonder why Yahtzee chose to remain chained to Escapist. And now I don't have to - I can just lean back and enjoy.

"We expect you to meet certain targets" is probably my favorite gag in the video. It's a well deserved dig.

I love how we've come full circle all the way back to Fully Ramblomatic.

The different background colours for the different sections is a nice addition for this unique new show. It makes it easy to keep track of what's being reviewed so you know it's not just a long ass ramble.

Im going to miss the imp but the doggo is a cute addition. Cheers to Yahtzee and colleagues for sticking to what they want to do. Happy that the ZP series continues in spirit.

Hearing Yahtzee just curse is a blessing to have back. I hope here, we’ll have plenty of chances to laugh at an industry that never learns anything tee hee hee together again.

That dig at the escapist with calling Alan wake’s reality “as ephemeral as a career in tech journalism” was great. Glad to see you all go independent!

Been watching yahtzee since the mid 2000s and always excited to see what he's up to. Thanks for keeping the content coming!

These colors are a lot easier on the eyes than the yellow, and the format is similar enough to be comfortable in the change but unique enough that its fresh, a massive step forward!

What a wholly unique and distinctive series with absolutely no similarities to anything prior, could see this show going on for 16 years.

Man really went for that Persona 4 to 5 aesthetic with him going from Yellow to Red.

By the 1 week mark, this was Yahtzee's 5th most watched video since the 2020 roundup. They're gonna be fine.

"With a sense of reality as reliable and permanent as a career in corporate tech journalism." Coming out the gate swinging I see. I love it.

I’m amazed how little of the ZP feel was lost in the transition. I will really miss the old art style but quality wise this is just as great and the writing didn’t suffer at all.

This is the kind of intelligent and to-the-point commentary that has been missing from the games industry for the last 2 weeks.

I'm glad you folks are hanging in there. Keep up the awesome work!

Those last words during that speech is pure poetry.

Its gonna take some time getting used to seeing Yahtzee depicted with clothes, but we all make sacrifices

I love that Yahtzee went back to calling it Fully Ramblomatic after all these years. Truly full circle.

Wow! You were back up and running again SO FAST without skipping a beat. It feels almost exactly the same as ZP except a lot more red and your hat is black now....and hearing you completely uncensored is like music to my ears, that ending was perfection and pure art. Good times.

So it's just zero punctuation but with a red background instead of a yellow one?? Works for me.

Oh my God I just realized the imp has been changed to a dog. Rest In Peace, imp. We'll never forget your dedication at representing monsters, children and unbearable twats.

Getting the swears back is probably my favorite thing. That alone is worth my dollar. Knowing it actually goes to the creators seals the deal.

Been following Yahtzee's work since 2007 when ZP aired on episodes of X-Play. So happy to see it living on in this legally distinct fashion.

American Nightmare is clearly canon and introduces the notion of the Overlap and the spiral.

We finally got episode 3 of Fully Ramblomatic! Amazing! Only been waiting 16 years!

I’m loving the “freshly painted with the blood of Gamurs suits” aesthetic of the new ZP.

Not even a week old, fewer than double digit numbers of videos, and this channel already has over a quarter of the subs of Escapist's channel that's been around for over 15 years. You love to see it.

I went into this game already under the impression that American Nightmare never happened and it was a trick of the dark place or one of Alan's attempts to write himself out of it that didn't work the way he hoped. Or it was one of Mr scratch's attempts at escaping. Anyways, if you do enough mental gymnastics you can squeeze that game firmly into the continuity while simultaneously not retconning anything. Yes it's basically the Alan Wake equivalent of it was all a dream but what I remember from the control DLC Alan has tried to write himself out of the dark place for years and I'm sure that resulted in some of the awe's. Some people even speculate that Alan is directly responsible for everything that happens across every game including control. Control would have you thinking that the events of the first game was just another awe but some people interpreted that DLC as saying that everything that happens in all of these games only happens because Alan wrote it that way meaning that the FBC wouldn't even exist in the first place if he didn't write it into existence. I'm not sure if I fully buy into that Theory but I do know that regardless of which Theory you follow it's entirely possible to squeeze American Nightmare into continuity and write off the ending as a red herring that can be explained through objects of power and other ooga booga stuff from control

This is the best Fully Ramblomatic episode we've had in ages. Well done

I had no idea how much I missed Yahtzee being able to swear properly

It was a hard 2 weeks without you, Yahtz. Glad you are able to be yourself again

The intro comes on- ok I can dig it Yahtzees voice comes through- I am now filled with glee

I love how he replaced the imp with a dog. It’s like Toffee is here, helping Yahtzee out

It feels like Yahtzee didn't skip a beat, and that's a testament to the team and how hard everyone worked. Glad to be here, and glad to stick around for a while.

Thanks! You've kept me entertained since 08.

I like that the company's title shows a phoenix. Nice touch

It feels weird saying "Good to have you back, Yahtz." after a single week of absence. The turnaround between the Escapist nose dive and Second Wind rising from the ashes is astonishing. Bravo.

There's something very satisfying about watching this while imagining some executive at Gamurs standing around in an office full of empty desks, going "oh, it was the TALENTED HARDWORKING PEOPLE who made this profitable. I thought it was the yellow colour scheme."

We'll make our own review show with metal and gears.

whats even more hilarious is youtube directed me here rigth after the new episode of ZP

A slightly different hat, a slightly different imp, glasses, and reviewing an atmospheric horror adventure with a mechanic centered around shadows. Feels like 2007 all over again.

It took him 15 years , but he finally nerd levelled up from fedora to cowboy hat. my hero 🎉🎉

Thank you for continuing on! Been a long time fan before youtube, and uh stuff. And now here! So excited for you guys! 🍻

I am so happy that you are still doing this!

It's so genuinely impressive how good and natural the production feels for how quickly Second Wind had to come together. And Yahtzee as usual hasn't skipped a beat. Congrats to everyone involved.

For me the biggest difference is that Yahtzee felt really sincere in asking for support, whereas in the past it's always been someone else doing it or him being tongue-in-cheek about it, but you can tell that he really cares (not to say he didn't before).

Awesome. Glad to have more of you guys! Caught the FPS podcast and happy to join along for the ride.

It's hard to believe I've been watching your content since I was still in school. I'm glad to see you are still interested in making videos. I will always feel a fondness for your work, thank you

Let’s all laugh at an industry, that dropped the ball with our friend Yahtzee

It's fitting to see the return of "Fully Ramblomatic" with a familiar but fresh look. Also, it's nice that patron funding has enabled Yahtzee to swear up a storm again.

I've always tended to surf around on RU-vid a lot and just watch stuff randomly but for at least 12 years now every time there was an upload of Zero Punctuation I immediately watch it. I'm sure this is going to continue with Fully Ramblomatic. Congratulations on Second Wind and keep up the great work guys.

Alan Wake American Nightmare is CANON, this was confirmed by Remedy, people shouldn't skip this since it might hold some key values to the second game. Otherwise welcome back:)

One week. You guys went from being fired to making _this_ incredible, legally distinct masterpiece in one week. Nearly from scratch. Congratulations! You're knocking it out of the fucking park and I can't wait to see more from Yahtzee but also Frost and the rest of the team.

I love that it's all VERY clearly zero punctuation, but Yahtzee has been allowed to calm down a hair, and the team has gotten the ability to play with the art some more. I admit I'm not super huge on Yahtzee's pinprick eyes, but otherwise love the new look

I was so sad to see the zp series stop uploading. Now I'm just happy that you guys can have an employee owned brand! Congrats

Patreoned. Happy to help this great channel. I remember your first video, and then I remember when you rode the SS sell out to go work for the escapists. I'm so glad you're doing this.

The funny thing about this is that it's pretty much the 3rd episode of the Fully Ramblomatic Review. The 1st 2 videos were done ages ago which probably makes this the longest episode gap in history. Well.. at least he managed to create a 3rd episode; unlike Valve 😆

As iconic as ZP is I'm actually really digging the new aesthetic. It feels both familiar and fresh.

Hearing your voice on this just gives me so much hope. I really appreciate that you're still making content.

Glad you guys got back on your feet so fast! Excited for your journey!

I genuinely hope this is legally distinct enough to continue in its current form, because it feels like you haven't missed a beat despite all the changes. It's fresh but familiar. I like it!

Lmao darn Yahtzee you really did bring your entire view count to a new channel overnight Huge respect

Been watching your videos for over ten years and very happy to follow you and the team into the Second Wind of entertainment ❤

Liked, subscribed and leaving a comment for the algorithm, mainly as a sign of support for what you guys did, but I also like the video. May the (second) wind always be at your back!

I can't believe we finally got another episode of Fully Ramblomatic after 16 years. What a time to be alive!

It's like a slightly higher quality and more colorful Zero Punctuation. It's PERFECT. ❤

Good to see you landing on your feet so quickly! I'll be here for every new episode.

Welcome back indeed!

Finally another episode of Fully Ramblomatic! I've hoped and prayed for 16 years to see another one.

I gotta say the most surreal part of this is seeing yahtzee's little guy wearing actual clothes

Congrats. Very happy you guys are on your own. I'm sure it must be a difficult transition but you all make great content and I'm excited to see where you go next from here.

Good job on the thumbnail. I immediately knew what/who this was. Thank you for making more of this.

"We expect you to meet certain targets" wasn't a joke I was expecting and it got me good 😂

"It gives a rather effectively creepy feel of being trapped in a surreal, introspective world with a sense of reality as reliable and permanent as a career in corporate tech journalism." Yahtzee on point as per usual. Brilliant potshot at the Escapist, 10 points.

Gotta say, I was kinda outta the loop about everything that happened. Like, I heard Yahtzee left the Escapist, and seeing this suddenly pop up in my recommendeds, I just kinda assumed the Escapist were reusing the ZP style to replace it with something legally distinct in an attempt to keep the viewer base. But now I see that it's *Yahtzee* reusing the ZP style to replace it with something legally distinct to keep the same viewer base. Glad to see there's still plenty of steam in the old tank.

So happy you are still here fam. Simply the best

Can't believe this outperformed that last few Zero Punctuation episodes. Truly inspiring

I miss the old opening, but love that you're continuing on. Happy to be here for the ride!

Welcome back, great name for the new channel!

That giant wall of patreon supporters brings a happy tear to my eye. Once I get more work hours I hope to be able to join it. I salute you Yahtzee, Nick, everyone else at Second Wind, and everyone who supports them

Let's blow this up. This team are the talent. Follow them rather than the old brand. I hope this channel brings you all success and gives you all peace of mind ❤

Missed the new channel and happy to find it.

excited to see another episode of fully ramblomatic! glad you got the inspiration back to return to this classic web series, I always thought it had a lot of promise.

When I heard Yahtzee sit down and thank everyone at first I believed I was a joke, then I was moved by his sincerity and how thankful he was like the rest of the team....and then of course he proceeded to say "I won't be this sentimental always" And for that I say kudos to you Yahtzee, never stop being you and take everything sarcastically. We love you bud as much as the rest of the team

The art style, the subtle digs at Escapist, and the format we are all familiar with. You guys did not miss a beat!

nice to see how well the transition has gone - the new art is nice, definitely similar but different enough, and I feel like the style can be described pretty simmilarly

Congrats!!! Cant wait to see what yall make on the new channel

Fully Ramblomatic reminds me of Yahtzee's Stardew Valley review: "Stardew Valley is Harvest Moon. It murdered Harvest Moon, stole Harvest Moon's skin and befriended Harvest Moon's parents under the guise of consoling them in their hour of grief." The context is vastly different (and I 100% support Yahtzee for doing this), but it's hilarious how thinly veiled the whole thing is

I don't know how you turned this out so quick with such a hardcore flip but I'm glad

Yo you hit the ground running with this channel I'm excited af. Also been watching ZP religiously since 2013(ik ya being doing them since 08), I'm glad to see ya back here's to another 15 years.

RU-vid algorithm got it right for me. Suggested this video without actually realizing who it was, and glad to see you're still doing what you do.
