Weird West (Zero Punctuation) 

Yahtzee is reviewing an anime game, a genre he hated more than the passion of the Christ? The game must be a masterpiece!

Have you done dark deception?

I still remember watching his Fable review, when that and The Darkness were his only videos. Jesus.

Imagine the feeling when its zero punctuation's 20th anniversary. That's technically 5 years away.

@@rushi5638 I too was there when Nariko rode that falling pillar in Heavenly Sword, and Yahtzee made a suggestion as to what spicy activities might be implied by the line "we may need you to play twing-twang".

I on the other hand only jumped in at the Bioshock review. He already had six videos under his belt by then, and I remember wondering how many more of these he was going to do.

More of my life has had Yahtzee than lacked it, and I'm young enough that that will probably change. Sigh. Existence hard.

Having fun?

Apparently Elden Ring

@@akimbofurry2179 why yes, yes I am.

Is weird west a remake? I swear i got that game in 2019 for switch.

well isnt that true?

You're saying that isn't what happens??

That did happen to me, unlike being a cultist of cthlulu. Instead of looking intimidating, you just look like an idiot who ate too much jam

Is he wrong though?

Its a serious medical condition.

Also I imagine less shit of an ending!

Agreed. Really excited to see what the devs do next

I been asked to give you a review for your comment. You get a 5 out of 5. Have a nice day.

I’d be excited to play weird west but this time I can aim without having a brain aneurysm

Indeed honestly wanted some more pigman sections that would have been great.

Oh god, it's the dad jokes. There's no turning back now.

I was about to say the same thing. I don’t know why that got me so good, but it did.

You hyped it up, and it was worth the hype.

Like a trophy full of piss

"Mr. Bean's having a particularly difficult time in Elden Ring" made my day.

Yup, we're old now.

And now you know what the shot of Matt Damon's character ageing at end of _Saving Private Ryan_ feels like, don't you?

Haha ur old

It's been 15 years, I'm still not subbed to the channel, and only check in weekly for ZP.

And how many of us were here for Fable and The Darkness?

LOVED THAT XD

Didn't Lovecraft travel quite a bit? Grant it, he didn't travel very far west though. So I guess the point stands to a degree.

@@unsocked Yeah, he even wrote a book about his trip to Quebec. Odd that he didn't find French Canadians alarming like he did the Italians, Irish, Portuguese, non-Europeans of any sort, etc.

@@unsocked he travelled later in his life and became an actual decent person from what I've read, his parents made him an isolated socially inept racist and actually experiencing the world without them helped change him for the better.

@@josephrigley8974 Of course, when we say 'later in his life' we do need to remember that he died at the age of 46.

Did the same in 2010 or so. Hard to say exactly when though, sinve I was excessively young, and my memory already fails me.

Been a long while since I've seen that, time to watch it again!

Or an old weeb who is sick of the formulaic shit and numb to horny wish fulfillment, who will only recommend the cream of the crop

Best advice ever

I like to think I'm self aware. So when I recommend people an anime, I dont.

@@augustjay6436 yeah I feel like 95% of anime have a moment in the first three episodes or sooner where I'm like "oh no, I like this but I can't recommend it to literally anyone"

@@ScornfulEg0tist Exactly this lol

Don't forget Westworld!

You want an actually good take on this stuff? Weird place to come from but the Tabletop RPG world - Deadlands. Critical Role did a 4 episode run of it called “Undeadwood” and it was freakin’ brilliant

"Weird Western" is a genre like steampunk was (and it's kind of in the same wheelhouse): It's been around for decades in literature, indie comics, TTRPGs, and other media with lower barriers to entry, but every once in a while they push out a big project in a more prominent audio-visual medium, hoping for a mainstream breakthrough that will probably never come.

The weird West is from the deadlands table top Rpg from 1996.

@@matan8074 weird west as a genre has been around since the 70s

He needs to listen so he can shit on them with accuracy. If you're going to shoot someone, the least you can do is actually _aim_ at them.

@Zack Smith This is terrific news. In every possible meaning of the word terrific.

I've had this long standing suspicion that Yahtzee is a secret weeb. One of those people deeply in love with all of that stuff but unlike a typical weeb has the self awareness to be deeply ashamed, so conceals it. The hatred he expresses of that stuff is to conceal the self loathing he experiences when he really enjoys all those things he mocks, and that he gets off on the self pain... which also helps fuel the bile he can throw at everything else.... just a theory mind you. More seriously though, one thing I do not get is that Yahtzee has pointed out a couple of times that there is some stuff in anime that he likes, mostly because it's not like most of the other anime due to avoiding a lot of the usual recycled tropes and satire through Japanese humor. He clearly knows "Anime" is pretty diverse and I'm never entirely clear why he never tracked down any of the more serious "hard sci-fi/fantasy" stuff that was fairly common in like the 90s and early 2000s and keeps looking at well... weeb stuff. The stuff that also got me out of anime. I mean I'd think he'd probably appreciate the 90s Berserk, maybe even the manga given that he likes things like Dark Souls and I've long felt Berserk had some influence on that. Ghost In The Shell: SAC is another one that occurred to me doesn't have any of the crap he hates in it. That said it would be funny if Kentaro Miura rose from the grave just to insert a few hot springs chapters/episodes into berserk with magical ghost powers just because Yahtzee decided to give that a chance because of the Dark Souls thing. I mean can you imagine Guts in a hot springs episode? Where does he put his sword when he changes into a swimsuit even, I doubt there is a locker big enough. Or does he crouch in the water with the sword next to him in a macho pose and glare at everyone while Casca's comatose body floats in the women's pool behind the room screen and he grows increasingly angsty and depressed and wonders how the hell this could even be a thing much like the fans. :)

It's crazy how powerful it is when combined with the extra ambush damage

Silenced sniper rifles: breaking games since forever

Deadlands played by the folks over at Critical Role in a short series called “Undeadwood”. It’s worth every second

C.U.N.T.I.T.W.A.N.K

Its because persona has made a Weeb growth in his brain. An its slowly taking over.

He had the guy who goes into his house character call him a weeb a while back though.

I'm imagining Yahtzee holding up his hands like the Ancient Aliens guy with the caption "WEEBS".

Episode 1 has been on TV every year at Christmas since o was a kids so it's spot on

what's a british moment guv ?

@Pierce Moore probably means "transphobic/trans joke" moment

The horror of a joke. The poor children

@@spartanpozzum6855 you sound pretty offended, buddy. do you need a break and a cookie?

you know british people aren't any more transphobic than americans right?

Would have been nice if he mentioned it was isometric though I hate that style plus shooting with the controllers a load or arse

That looks great. Reminds me of The Fancy Pants Adventures

Demon Turf, anyone?

The fact the we now refer to, say, 2014 as mid-2010s is alone enough to make me feel old. Recently, I've been suffering from heart burn if I don't watch out for what I eat. Growing up sucks. :(

@@whynot7564 I can relate to that, I suffer from stress related digestive problems, I even had to be hospitalized for a week once. I'm just 32 and I can no longer drink coffee, at all :(

I quite enjoyed Omori and at times it really got to me, but I don’t think Yahtzee would like it all that much. In particular I can imagine him taking issue with the pacing, dialogue, and combat.

Omfg yes, but you know if it ever happened it would be the reboot film era rather than TNG-era.

@@cereal_chick2515 Thanks for ruining it lol T.T

So long as it's not Discovery or Picard based. Angry Joe and every other TNG era Trek fan would rather eat Gaak marinated in Ferengi snail juice than play it.

@@cereal_chick2515 Unless they decided to make it a multi-era game like they do with the Star Wars games.
