There's this really funny guy who does reviews on video games, though he hardly ever gives positive ones, except for the ones that really deserve it.

Link to his stuffs:

Yeah, I've seen plenty of Mr. Yahtzee. Bang up job becoming an e-celebrity, but what's more impressive is how he's maintained his "negative vibes from an angry Brit" schtick without losing fans when he trashes games they like. They just change their opinion from "Yahtzee is always right!" to "It's all just for fun, no one takes this seriously!" as it suits them. What I'm saying is, Yahtzee has done the best job of keeping his e-celebrity status since Piro and Tycho/Gabe.

Usually, he's pretty funny. Sometimes not. The mix between nitpicky and good analysis is random with each review.

I don't think we've ever had a thread about this!

Seriously, is a little search that hard to do?

There's a difference between saying "He's Australian" and "He lives in Australia". He's still an angry Brit. He just has better weather to rant in.

Splitting hairs is fun. A-yup.

I don't like when people classify him as some hate speech giving angry jerk; he's not. He has a certain standard games have to meet with in order for him to consider them not shitty, and the stuff he picks on in his reviews are the kinds of things I generally hate, too.

He's the only professional reviewer I'll listen to these days.

He has some pretty good reviews. I actually find them quite tasteful in their own distasteful way, like Taco Bell.
