On this stop in the "Yahtzee Chronological Bingefest" we see the first glimpse of what will become the long returning and well loved Zero Punctuation intro. Fascinating. On with the tour!

[@hfar_in_the_sky]

Man, back when I was first watching this series I thought he was saying this game was tepidly fun at best, but looking back this is practically a glowing review by Yahtzee's standards.

[@zekeoman1]

This is essentially a cheerfully romantic peck on the cheek compared to the shit he unleashed on Sonic in Sonic Unleashed. Christ...

[@OrangeRangerVideos]

Every time I scroll by this, I laugh at the irony of this being the first ZP that doesn't use copyrighted music, and the first line Yahtzee says in it being "There comes a point where you have to stop ignoring something."

[@judahc7586]

that's brilliant, actually

[@Schwallex]

How is that irony? It is not irony at all. It is most literally literal.

04:25 after 10 years I think it's safe to say that this was totally not a shark jumping moment

[@Megaspartan23]

"Bratz: Hey kids, lets all dress like french tarts." Wasn't that the alternate title for Cuties?

[@heartbrony]

For what I'm getting from the after credits scene here is that Yahtzee wants to give me a handy.....I'm bad at charades.

[@neosaneo2]

[@gafeleon9032]

I think yahtzee never made his own character with a bazooka and shot it everywhere like a psicopath

[@randomstuff7942]

The biggest problem that I have with EVERY LEGO GAME EVER is the inevitable part where you don't know what to do & it won't tell you. Or rather me.

[@MRMARKSMAN1581]

It's Soooooo annoying especially when all your friends beat it in a matter of seconds

[@hugehuman1]

Yep. Happens at least once in every one I played. Ironic for games geared towards kids, isn't it?

[@MRMARKSMAN1581]

it really is. I got so stuck on some levels it took hours until i finnaly found the thing i needed

[@timesnewlogan2032]

You mean like finding out how to destroy the shiny bricks in Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga? I went and bought every single tip I could in the cantina, because it was the last one for sale. Then I found out you get the tip for free in Episode VI, and the shiny bricks were usually just hiding bonuses.

[@gulorful8488]

That part at the bank with the touching tiles in Lego Batman confused the hell out of me.

[@acuteavocado1962]

4:30 is that good old "anything goes" i hear? i think it is!

[@GregaMeglic]

Whats wrong with the fridge from the new indiana jones movie? Dropping from a plane in a raft, sliding down a mountain off a cliff, in to a river and down a waterfall and not even loosing your hat is way nuttier.

[@BlairFace666]

I'd say surviving a nuclear blast by hiding in a fridge is a bit more outlandish than a man who doesn't want to lose his hat.

[@GregaMeglic]

Blairsy Bub Its not that he doesnt want to loose his hat, Its that he jumps out of a plane on a raft and then falls down a cliff in said raft and goes over a waterfall in the same raft. And there were even 2 people in that raft. Its equally silly.

[@BlairFace666]

NO IT'S NOT! Yes, it is unlikely that he could keep his hat on the whole time, but it is not even a comparison to surviving a nuke by hiding in the fucking fridge! It's fucking impossible!

[@GregaMeglic]

Blairsy Bub Its impossible for 2 people to even survive the fall out of a plane in a raft. The Indie movies were never serious. So i really dont know why people are so hung up over it. Its like someone starting to complain that Tom shouldnt be alive after Jerry lights a stick of dynamite under his ass.

[@BlairFace666]

Hmmm. I suppose.

[@alexnoman1498]

At the end the costumed puppeteer crawls from the booth towards a bunch of 5 year olds sitting mere inches away. I'd be glorious!

[@brigidtheirish]

I actually enjoyed Crystal Skull. The first three movies were homages to the serials of the '30s and '40s, roughly when those movies are set. So lots of swashbuckling action, exotic locales, supernatural elements that may or may not have a mundane explanation, and beating up Nazis. The fourth movie is set in '57, so the influences draw from that decade. Particularly the B-movies. I grew up on a lot of both sets of influences despite being born in '83, so all the Indiana Jones movies have a nostalgia appeal for me. I'm also nowhere near as bothered by the refrigerator scene as most people seem to be. The phoned-in CGI in the monkey swinging scene was far more cringe-worthy and it didn't break my overall enjoyment.

[@EresirThe1st]

Yeah it was no dumber than the plots of the other films. People need to take nostalgia goggles off.

[@frankreed7560]

I love how he's become a sort of legand among KZbin

[@AJBiskit]

It's actually from a Musical from the Thirties, Fallout 3 just used it. It's the instrumental version, and another version (sung this time, as intended) of it was used in the opening scene from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, hence it being used to lampoon Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

[@necogreendragon]

Yep, he sure is. I still think his "review" of the last Indy movie there at the end is great and pretty much sums up most fans reactions to it.

[@Schlorgan]

"I mean the only three Indiana Jones movies..." Pretty much.

[@gameglitchersweb]

"Only 3 Good ones is what he ment"

[@Schlorgan]

Yeah, that comment was meant to be agreeing, but it was a bit vague.

[@gameglitchersweb]

By "He Ment" i mean yahtzee

[@samuelatkin4931]

Logan Schmidt 3:52 shows what movie he meant be this, and it was meant in a way all Indi fans would already know.

[@irgyn]

every time you say something i was thinking for years, like "The ONLY Indiana Jones movies", i want to hug you and die a happy man.

[@destroyerofidols]

i approve of the review at the end! actions say more than words, right?

[@BigFarm_ah365]

I never wanted to see Yahtzee, but here we are.

[@pastakitty1977]

[@guardingdark2860]

That's not a voice crack, he just turned into a goose for half a second because fuck you **and** your rules.

[@maffi98]

Finally finished all the episodes where Yahtzee cleverly uses music without permission.

[@IAssassinII]

I liked Lego Star Wars when I was younger because it had episodes 1, 2, and 3 all rolled into one game.

[@Jaceblue04]

1:54 - 2:08 That's kinda why my little brother loves that game and pouts every time I say I don't wanna play it with him.

[@UKBeacon]

I remember playing this game when I was 8 years old...and I still have it.

[@hereticmusicnz]

i loved that one. "It's Doctor Jones to you Doll!"

[@droylajarhirthefelinethief81]

Unbeknownst to Yahtzee, there is a good Playmobil game for the ps2. It's called "Hype: The Time Quest" and it's a Zelda clone. Not as good as a real Zelda game, but still, it's good.

[@droylajarhirthefelinethief81]

Ben Walsh The protagonist is a knight named "Hype" who travels through time to save his fiancée named "Vice". How can he hate that?

[@Buckster355]

I HAVE AN IDEA!!! Megablocks Starship Troopers!!

[@DukeOnkled]

Young Indy is actually a bonus level you'll typically get after completing the rest of the game.

[@stevenboelke6661]

This is the most positive review I think I've ever seen from Yahtzee!

[@Carlos-ln8fd]

Portal 1 also springs to mind. He did say that anyone who doesn't love it is stupid.

[@Hrothmeir]

Yup, the 3 Indy movies: Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Last Crusade, and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Loved all of 'em!

[@thejokersmistress15]

I bought this for two dollars at a game store just for a nostalgia kick, and I was basically insulted by the condescension of one of my favorite trilogies. I completely agree with the "parody" feel of it. How did I miss this the first time I played it?

[@diredm3889]

how odd that before seeing this video I saw a commercial for a LEGO game "LEGO KNIGHTS"

[@zaracondemi6375]

Logan Maxamillion NEXO KNIGHTS YOU MEAN?

[@SirKraager]

4:31 finally a review i can relate with

[@JhericFury]

OMG, "that bloke from Sliders" I knew i didn't imagine it, no one else i know has ever heard of that show, i thought i had dreamt it or something.

[@RaisinBran1314]

It is from Fallout 3. The song is called Anything Goes by Cole Porter.

[@chaosfood]

2:25 Minor Lemmings reference? Nice.

[@MyScorpion42]

It is also in Temple of Doom, probably the reason why he used it in the first place.

[@drollfurball2863]

Dude I would TOTALLY buy a Duplo Firefly.

[@zoogoo404]

You know, I think Yahtzee's little animated character needs a mustache now.

[@Doughboy123x]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks that the finale to Raiders of the Lost Ark is traumatizing for kids.

[@thisiswhatilike54]

We're dealing with Nazis, here. Not exactly kid-friendly to begin with.

[@Doughboy123x]

ladenswallow09 True. But it's tone is so clashing compared to everything else.

[@lapisfly]

i was singing along to the anything goes at the end

[@RobGR]

4:53 That right there should be the thumbnail for every Yahtzee KZbin video ever made

[@MrInferenice]

OMG BABYLON 5!!!! I am glad you know of that amazing show!

[@Match25]

that was certainly an indepth and series discussion

[@BassaiDai123]

It's also used in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. I imagine that's the link Yahtzee was making there.

[@brendantmcguire]

Google tailors all the ads you see depending on what you look at, it would be weird if there wasn't a lego advert on a lego video.

[@LuckyShatter]

The song at the end should be recognized by Fallout 3 fans. The song is Anything Goes. However I don't believe it is the very nice Cole Porter version that so keeps me soul so elevated in one of the best sandbox games I have ever played.

[@zoobyzoob]

Best starburst commercial I've ever seen.

[@campbellrogers6164]

i remember playing this when i was 9 at my friends house.

[@Tralfazz74]

Zero Punctuation finally got it's song.

[@tommytwotacos8106]

Stickle Bricks Babylon 5 was the best one. I'm glad he stuck with it long enough to get that far.

[@garlock007]

Why has no one mentioned yet that the reason for the song choice in the first place is it being in the opening sequence for Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom?

[@mimkyodar]

It is. Anything Goes, from the musical of the same name, i believe, by Cole Porter.

[@ExecutorArkanis]

You mean Temple of Doom. That's where I first heard it, and if fits considering the Indy tie-in.

[@FlapHedge]

did everyone just forget about the Indiana Jones childhood movies I could have sworn that one of the adult Indiana Jones movies an advertising for them but I still can't find them anywhere

He had a mustache and a beautiful one at that.

He likely used it because it is the opening song to Indiana Jones 2: The Temple of Doom

ZOMG, Yahtzee knows Firefly!!!! Epic win is epic!

[@DonnaPinciot]

If there's one thing I don't like about these videos, it's the loud credits compared to the majority.

[@madjohnny4904]

I really really really really liked Lego star wars especially the second one and of the about half dozen other Lego games I have played, I still like those the most. Also I assume there is a relatively massive nostalgia factor here given legos and starwars

[@Redator48]

It may not be from Fallout originally, but it is where a majority of people would have heard it first. I honestly do not think many people today have heard of Anything Goes, or at least compared to the popularity of Fallout.

[@alexcampbell8120]
