[@PokeMaster22222]

+FatherTime89 Subscribing to KZbin channels is far more efficient than subscribing to various different websites. You know, because of the sidebar off to the left, that opens whenever you click the three horizontal lines at the top-left?

[@bryanadkins6776]

Fun fact: there was a mini-series in the comics where Deadpool did get sent to an insane asylum. It did not end well. For anyone.

[@IQuarent]

Well, Im sure it was done tastefully and didn't involve any murder.

[@alexg.1764]

It ended with him killing literally everyone right?

[@bryanadkins6776]

Grell Sutcliff Even the writers.

[@alexg.1764]

+bryan adkins And then Moby Dick, Sherlock Holmes, and many others.

[@al-joker1698]

+Grell Sutcliff are you talking about deadpool kills the marvel universe I loved that comic

[@Brickfall]

"There's still a lot of room for comedy games that employ actual wit, like Portal." And this is why I want to see Yahtzee play The Stanley Parable.

[@multinet9037]

Look at the date though. The game only came out in October and up until now he's only done one mod because it had over 1,000,000 players.

[@misterman6390]

Stanley Parable is barely a game

[@MoreNimrod]

Meester McMannington I'd argue it's a game, just not a very good one.

[@jasper491]

Meester McMannington HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH you're funny.

[@Schlorgan]

He talked about The Stanley Parable in his weekly article Extra Punctuation, comparing it to Beyond: Two Souls and talking about how much better The Stanley Parable is.

[@TimeBomb014X]

I like how in the Deadpool game review he mentions Green Lantern film starring Ryen Ryanolds, the man who is Deadpool

[@mrwindupbird101]

It has come full circle

[@Betta66]

"Don't make my suit green. Or animated!"

[@r.i.probbierotten3265]

Probably has something to do with the fact that Ryan already played Deadpool at that point.

[@S.AgentGadriel7369]

[@getschwifty5537]

Now I want a Deadpool mod for Metal Gear Rising. It's wacky enough in its presentation and story, it already has a protagonist with a sword, healing factor and an insatiable bloodlust. All it needs now is for Raiden to constantly be random and you're set.

[@SiegeTF]

+David Lopez Have him get hit by an EMP when the first boss dies so he's running around with a short circuit that makes hallucinate, disabled his inner monologue, but didn't effect his combat proficiency so he wasn't called in for repairs.

[@xmm-cf5eg]

Raiden is constantly random, from game to game that is!

[@VisionQuest057]

Ironically, it seems the film industry might have actually _nailed_ Deadpool's character this time around (thanks almost entirely to Ryan Reynolds' enthusiasm). Also, almost as if prophetically, the XBOX controller at 5:03 is lying by the fireplace in almost the exact same position that Ryan Reynolds/Deadpool is positioned in the seductive 2016 movie promo photos.

[@pco1984]

I could be wrong but at 4:57 (just before the action comics bit) is that Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool? Was the video edited? A bit further at 05:07 it's him as the Green Lantern... Loved the movie, can't wait for #2! :D

[@TheViridianDusk]

+Pieter Ouborg Yes that was Ryan Renolds as Deadpool from X-men Origins: Wolverine. We tend not to talk about the train wreck that was that movie though.

[@westy1637]

+Pieter Ouborg He wasn't "Deadpool" in that movie. He was just Wade Wilson, then eventually.. Something that was neither Wade Wilson nor Deadpool.

[@NotAGoodUsername360]

That movie was only allowed to exist after the studio executives at Fox got the test screening results back on Origins and realized that maybe Reynolds had a point about not fucking with fan favorite characters. And even then sheer bitterness from an unnamed executive (who is presumably on suicide watch after the Deadpool movie got a massive ROI in its opening weekend alone) kept it in development hell until the test footage leaked.

[@VisionQuest057]

+NotAGoodUsername360 Yeah, those fucking assholes and their politics screwing with our beloved material... At least it turned out for the best, since the movie was AWESOME, and went on to become the single highest-grossing R-rated movie of all time, even surpassing Jesus himself in The Passion of the Christ.... _Suck_ _it,_ money-grubbing vindictive executive asshats! :D

[@TheShortGirl666]

"Don't be like that baby!" This guy cracks me up.

[@Matrilwood]

My golden rule for humor in a videogame is that it is only allowed to appear in places where it can't be autonomously repeated. That means cut-scenes and dialogue sequences, pretty much. Or possibly little once off elements in the background. If one of the quips your units make when you click on them is a pun, you're doing it wrong.

[@tatlxtael2303]

It took an entire 2 minutes to figure out if he was praising or dissing DP but I guess I should have been able to figure out which given who's critiquing the game.

[@weezact7]

I think he's dissing deadpool as a whole, but praising this game for it's translation of him into the medium of video games, but also saying the game itself is pretty average. So, in short, I think his review is: If you like Deadpool, you've got a good chance of liking this game, if not, it's probably not worth your time.

[@MegaZeta]

It didn’t.

[@Pooltastik]

Fun fact: in an alternate future the X-Force visits, Deadpool has been locked in a bunker for something close to a hundred years, and with nothing else to entertain him guess what he ended up playing with.

[@jasonstephen7564]

oh yikes. that should have been a fun experience for x-force

[@davideverett2]

Pooltastic Un Fun fact: I've been unable to get my Steam copy of Deadpool to work for 8 or 9 months now, I've also found no advice on how to get it running and have been unable to figure it out for myself. It used to run on my Win 7 PC but on Win 8.1 it hangs on the black screen after Deadpool sprints around for the loading screen.

[@scoman91]

nasha thedog That's because win 8 is utter shit.

[@davideverett2]

scoman91 Let's hope Win Ten has the gaming pedigree that's been promised.

[@scoman91]

[@wildroses2009]

These reviews can be very educational. I went and looked up Superman 64 so I could understand that last joke.

[@PalmerDudeGamingChannel]

the strong point of conkers bad fur day was never the gameplay, it was the wacky adult humor and fil references, where was that in the banjo games? exactly

[@WMBrown]

"Deadpool takes that road-kill and runs from room to room smacking people with it ruining their formal-dresses and making burbling noises with it." ... It's like you have channelled the spirit of Wade Wilson for this very line. It's as if you actually "Get" Deadpool! Bravo!

[@DILFDylF]

I think "burble" may be my favorite verb.

[@NEETKitten]

+W Brown Best line in the video.

[@AnonJuggerbot]

I mean, deadpool isn't a hard character to "get". He's the personifcation of stupid "teh penguin of doom xD so randum *holds up spork*" bullshit that we were all supposed to grow out of in high school.

This video changed my life. I used to be a PewDiePie fanboy, voraciously watching every piece of spunk spewed from his mouth. But then, while watching his playthrough of Deadpool, a curious yellow thumbnail caught my eye. I had found the Promised Land, a center for actual humor and wit in a sea of shit. Now I have shed my ignorant shell and reached enlightenment thanks to Yahtzee Croshaw, the Chosen One.

[@coconuthead1361]

The Abominable GMan I don't get why people hate Pewds. I, personally am not a huge fan and think he's kinda overrated, but people saying he's a shit-head ass-face makes no sense. You don't know him personally, you just don't like his sense of humor or something. That doesn't mean you have to hate.

[@coconuthead1361]

Random shit made by the dry humor of the internet. Good job Ya...

I'm not a Deadpool fan at all. I think he looks cool and he's pretty slick, but he's SUPER annoying. I get the appeal, though. But I gotta say, i do think it's EXTREMELY clever that his self-awareness and ability to break the fourth wall are some of his actual super powers. It's not just a quirk in the writing. Somehow, the infinity stone gives him the ability to see beyond his own universe. That really is a brilliant idea... albeit pretty annoying

[@kijuaxel3791]

Yeah... to be honest, I never really liked Deadpool's humor. It's... boring. I hate the term "trying too hard", but that's almost the way it seems to me. Like they're trying too hard to make Deadpool seem funny. His jokes are one-note and rather unimaginative, and when he starts getting into the parody and/or 4th wall breaking, I just sigh and wait for the punchline that I can predict almost word for word.

[@TheAllDead1]

You sound like someone who didn't read Deadpool until the tittle was, FORCIBLY AND WITH MUCH PROTEST, given to Christopher "where comics are sent to die" Priest. Try reading ANYTHING that came before that hack got ahold of the book. Deadpool had two mini series and his solo monthly book was written by Joe "COMIC GOD" Kelly. He is the guy responsible for putting the character truly on the map.

[@kijuaxel3791]

+TheAllDead1 Not everyone has the same sense of humor, nor does everyone find the same material funny. I never found Deadpool funny, he comes across as a more zany Duke Nukem. I like characters that are funny just for being who they are, not because they're trying to be funny or forcing a joke in where it isn't necessary, or exaggerating an issue to make it seem funnier than it actually is. To me, Deadpool's humor is just plain 'dead'. 12/16/16 Edit: Also I never read Deadpool's comic books. I never read comic books to begin with, aside from perhaps Garfield and Calvin and Hobbes, both of whom I find much more amusing than anything Deadpool has ever managed to spit out. I find BATMAN more funny than Deadpool.

[@d3_sempai]

Kiju Axel agreed his humor seems forced as in "I'm a funny character so I say/do funny stuff". It gets old and annoying really fast. Of course it appeals to the 'easily entertained' that's the purpose, but I'd rather be surprised by comedy rather than it being shoved down my throat every 2 seconds. To each his own though.

This is why I dislike deadpool. I don't think he's funny, I don't think he's interesting, and he just fucks up everything else in the canon. He's nothing but a giant threat to the characters I DO like. Sooo... I guess you could equate him to... A walking tumor?

[@AxelLeJeff]

Spoken like a man that understands the idea of transferring pastries to a serving platter.

[@DoToXyt]

What the f*** did i just saw?

[@ThePCguy17]

a saw.

[@TreyDobe]

How'd you saw a saw?

[@SkylordGuthix]

Joseph Murray with another saw! :D

[@TreyDobe]

Joe Gardiner You sir are a genius!

[@NavnikBHSilver]

Joseph Murray then one day a guy came home screaming "I just saw a saw being sawed by another bigger saw. It was the most epic thing I did see, I mean saw", I think we see-saw, and have seen it all at that point. saw saw saw saw saw... 3...

I don't like deadpool, Ive never liked him, there's something about the fact that he doesn't take ANY situation seriously that just puts me off. He constantly boasts about how he can't die but that doesn't seem to put the bad guys off their plan to try anyway. All in all deadpool is NOT funny just painfully random, he has no weaknesses so i find it hard to like him as i do other superheroes. If someone could explain what his appeal is i will take you out to dinner, a movie of your choice and then awkward sex.

[@ChosenOne41]

It's because Dealpool just has so much damn fun doing what he does that you can't help but have fun along with him

[@harrygrant4122]

i don't have fun with him! also: what film do you want to watch?

[@UnBR0k3enAngel]

I'd rather have an unconventional superhero with no regard for safety and serious and other dumb things, rather than painfully dramatic heroes, looking at you, Spider-Man.

[@ChosenOne41]

UnBR0k3enAngel Huh, I've always found Deadpool and Spider-Man to be quite similar, just one of then taken to the extreme side of that humor. But then again what the fuck do I know?

[@UnBR0k3enAngel]

Chosen One 41 Actually, they both have the same humor. Unlike Spider-Man, Deadpool just has no reason to be upset. He fights crime for shits and giggles, basically. Think "If Batman was C.K Lewis" then you might have Deadpool. That, or a wise-cracking fatass.

[@GargantuanHunter]

Loved the last joke! Loved them all actually. You're awesome!

[@NegaX99]

deadpool can't die. your argument is invalid.

[@christos1709]

there is a whole scene in deadpool where he is technically dead, he comes back to life 5 minutes later though

[@NegaX99]

christos1709 he isn't dead if he comes back 5 minutes later. he is knocked out

[@RagDollSam]

NegaX99 No he does die almost every time he does "Die" he has a little chat with death itself and then comes back to life. He does die but death can't get a hold on him entirely because of his healing power so he comes back.

[@NegaX99]

raGdOllsAM ok yeah he is dying but he is never actually dead because he just sees death for a couple of minutes, maximum hours but he never dies.

[@RagDollSam]

Agreed

[@Entropy3ko]

The comedy of deadpool is all about being "self aware" and "breaking the 4th wall", which is basically scraping the bottom of the barrel

[@SuperPerry1000]

You know, after watching a lot of his stuff, I've noticed something about Yhatzee. For all his dismissal of repetition and blandness, his "humor" is exactly that. Ribbing on Mario, ribbing on Sonic, ribbing on FPSs (or rather, Call of Duty, because THOSE jokes aren't boring yet, are they?), ribbing on triple A titles in general. It's about as textbook and shorthanded as it gets.

[@damobeck1]

Yeah, it is textbook, but he does it with style

[@SuperPerry1000]

David Mobeck ...No he doesn't.

[@SuperPerry1000]

Arthur MC Eh? All the jokes involve bloom and grey and lots of railroading. That's not varied. That's just a shorthand to get the public to agree with whatever you may be saying.

[@SuperPerry1000]

Arthur MC Nope. I watched the videos since the Psychonaughts review. I stopped because the reviews weren't actually reviews and just became plain annoying.

[@Barsam37]

Perry Martin In all honesty, the mistake you are making is treating these as a review.

[@idlerwheel]

I've probably watched this episode more times than I'd prefer to count. Yahtzee had my attention at "Hacky Slashy".

[@charizardoreo]

family GUY

[@davidmojel2358]

I like the way you summed that up.

[@jherman45]

who else opened word and pressed shift ctril and f5

[@mewtastic2409]

How optimistic that Yahtzee thought comic book movies would STOP making money

[@Rainkit]

Yes! Finally! Your the only reason why I put up with all the other videos on Escapist! I need more of my drug! *twitch*

[@Frogggle]

Imagine a hotline miami and deadpool crossover

[@Oracle719]

that's what a critic IS. A person who points out all flaws

[@NeoSaturos123]

You know, there is good reason why you felt Mr Sinister is a "Ninth Grade character". He was apparently originally the supervillain alter ego of a 12 year old. Really, mister Sinister would be a pretty cool villain...if it wasn't for his name. Apparently his name is Nathaniel Essex...so maybe they should have called him something like Lord Essex, or Count Essex instead. Though of course the names of for example Doctor Doom isn't any better.

[@CasaiAgicap]

He mentioned Metal Gear Rising, so now I realized. Imagine if this game were made by Platinum Games. Like Deadpool: Bayonetta 2. It would be perfect.

[@Firefly-mb6pl]

that final joke made me laugh so hard i thought i would die

[@LegoDork]

It saddens me that my brother never used full stops to begin with and now uses LOL :(

[@roflcopterannoysme]

One good point for borderlands 2 is how most good lines were not repeated.

[@Kabitu1]

Lets just take a moment to appreciate that there is a comedy writer in this world intelligent and sophisticated enough to use the phrase "standard operating procedure" as a punchline.

[@ericwatts8181]

Loved the DEADPOOL game. Loved his review. Enraged if there isn't a sequel of both.
