​@@Andri474 1.Doom isn't meant to be taken seriously at least not enough to warrant using googled Latin words when "solemnity (which is basically the modern English version of gravitas btw) would have been enough and not be pointlessly convoluted for the sake of it." 2. coolness is subjective so while you dont think Doom Slayer is cool others like myself still think a space marine killing demons over the death of his pet bunny Daisy is pretty much the peak of what makes a FPS character cool to me. 3 Hes special because Doom Slayer is actually a 90s geek, if you look around the doom fortress you can find things like an old dos PC for playing classic doom which implies Doom Slayer is a gamer, he collects Toys and vinyl records showing his other hobbies. so far I don't think many other FPS characters show such a geeky side, even Gorden Freeman acts like a typical mute soldier. In 2016 his lava death animation is a terminator reference, sure its mostly a joke from the Devs but this builds up Doom guy into being a 90s action hero with a less obvious geek side to him.

"It's wank o'clock!" Is probably one of the best out of context lines yahtzee has. XD

[@lezard2102]

The staying up late to catch a sturgeon before March ends bit is so accurate it's hilarious xD

"And if your hands are tied at wank o'clock, remember to untie them first (unless you're into that)"

[@SorcerySpeedConcede]

Yeah, the one island per console was a major fuckall. The fact that switches were almost impossible to get ahold of (because of AC:NH) there was no possibility for getting a second console for a second island. It's like the systemic equivalent of two player mode in mario platformers. Sure, player one gets to be Mario with no changes. Player two can be a pointer.

When you rename the series "Domestic Village Management Sim" in your head, Animal Crossing makes a lot more sense.

[@TKFTCaboose]

This was jam packed with so many amazing lines I'm going to watch this at least ten more times and buy all the shirts. But for real this is now my favorite episode and I wish Yahtzee would make merch that said "It's Wank o' Clock". Killed it.

No body could have expected doom eternal and animal crossing to be the perfect match

0:57 actually had to pause the video right there and go google myself because that rosie tea fanart is about enough for my eyeballs to get diabetes

[@Igorcastrochucre]

"It's the imperfections that make me come back." Finally someone who gets it, I see endless videos of "Animal Crossing should do [X] because that's what Stardew Valley did" because it's an apples to oranges situation. Farming sims come and go, but Animal Crossing comes only once per generation of console and fills a void that a game with definitive goals simply can't.

[@jacobparry177]

Kinda wish Yatzee had his own channel where he posted these. Literally only reason I'm subscribed😂

[@thjalfi4606]

This was a good investment

[@theweddingsinger1970]

It reminds of when I was playing Far Cry and Doom 3 back in the day. One was a beautiful lush island, the other a flashlight simulator. Good days.

[@JohnnyThousand605]

"It's wank o'clock" Oh shit, that reminds me...

[@HarbindBrar]

I love your reviews man. I've been watching since I first saw a snippet on X-Play on G4TV way back in the late 2000's.

[@tyrant2025]

Wait, Yahtzee got married? Congrats, albeit late!

[@NostalgiaXV]

That dung beetle joke is the best thing about this year.

[@theoneandonlymichaelmccormick]

You use the word “anarchy” like it’s a bad thing, Yahtzee. ;3

If it exists, there is pr0n of it. Eh, I've found some good stuff thanks to pr0n before, I don't really see it as a big deal.

[@imaginaryboy2000]

I love seeing these first-party Nintendo reviews because Yahtzee gets to talk about something at the core of the gaming industry after saying "it's a game".

[@fallenmind153]

I started over, and my wife looked at me like I punched a baby... She said... WHY!?!?!? Oh well... 🤜🦝

[@Deejy1]

As someone who has watched at least 80% of all ZP videos, this one might actually be my favorite. Well done Yahtzee

[@cryssnail]

Sure, Yahtzee can criticize capitalism, but the second Bob does it the whinging is deafening

[@comradesam3382]

I don't know who Bob is but I think we all know that Yahtzee is a cynical bastard who doesn't give a fuck

[@danielrowson3379]

I think it’s because bob (whom I am very fond of) can occasionally come across as a bit lecturing while Yahtzee hides it under a bunch of snark.

[@Richard-sy1ej]

Because Bob has become more preachy than televangelist. His opinion will cleanse all the unenlightened swine to a truly progressive and accepting way of thinking that will better all humynkind. Whereas Yahtzee is a snarky bastard who acknowledges his opinion is his own and he doesn't need to convert anyone to have the same opinions as him. I don't know when or where it happened, but I find Bob pretty unbearably pretentious nowadays.

[@Wayte13]

@@Wayte13 Not really. There are plenty of reasons to criticize capitalism, but there are also good and bad ways (and places) to do it.

its refreshing to see someone outright say they dislike animal crossing, but still realize the little quirks as to why people like it.
