sephfire Posted July 17, 2008 Author Posted July 17, 2008 As his popularity goees up, more and more people go to the site and download the flash files, making bandwidth needs go up. Bandwidth isn't exactly cheap, so The Escapist has to make ends meet by upping their advertising, even if it means advertising their own site. By advertising their own site they get more hits in other areas and can start putting more third party advertising around the site in general and make ends meet. Hopefully this situation will resolve itself. It's just too bad that most of the other features on the escapist really suck = \ Yeah, this pretty much sums it up, I think. At least they're kind enough to leave the ads at the end.
The Damned Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 The economy is bad. I thought people would have gotten the hint by now. No, the US economy is bad. My economy is doing rather well, thank you very much. Oil as far as the eye can see...
I-n-j-i-n Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 I'm pretty sure that the world economy is starting to feel the effects. I just think there's a lot more cross promotion and money-centric website choices that are happening nowadays. Everything seems more expensive. Foreign or otherwise.
Darth GourryGN Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 In these trying economic times, it pays to watch free videos on the internets: Age of Conan
JCvgluvr Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 I loved this one! It was really quite funny! I'm gonna go back and pause it so I can see all those little names and quips he added.
q-pa Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 This week... The E3 Trailer Park Edit: If I'm counting correctly, this is his 50th video?
Elex Synn Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 Ah, leave it Yahtzee to cheer me up as the tiger's take a harsh beating.. To the Indians... Though in honestly, does anyone really look forward to new final fantasy releases anymore?
sephfire Posted July 31, 2008 Author Posted July 31, 2008 I lost it right around "*clap clap* OI!" I don't know how he manages one of these every week.
JCvgluvr Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 This week, Yahtzee advocates pessimistic cynicism. No surprise, since that's his viewpoint of choice. Also, while it does makes sense, he neglected to point out that it doesn't make you very appealing to your fellow man. I'd say a healthy balance between fanboy and negative nancy is best.
Triad Orion Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 I'd say a healthy balance between fanboy and negative nancy is best. We call that "Cautious Optimism." XD
Bleck Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 I'd say a healthy balance between fanboy and negative nancy is best. Fuck that everything is probably terrible
Dhsu Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 "Drawn by Pain" looks like the worst thing forever and ever.
Azure Prower Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 And now for a brief mention of "Gears of War 2"... that was it.
q-pa Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 And now for a brief mention of "Gears of War 2"... that was it. Yeah, this video had a lot of one-liners, almost all of which were pretty good.
JCvgluvr Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 At least he gave a textual mention to Sonic Unleashed, eh? If even the esteemed Yahtzee can pay any attention to a Sonic game, it must be the Blue Blur's second coming, huh?
Thylacine Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 "Drawn by Pain" looks like the worst thing forever and ever.It... grows on you. I think there was a thread somewhere in here about it. The final episode is going to be out in a few weeks.The "Oh wait" was what excelled this from great to a favorite of mine. The claps startled me at a point when my attention started to drift, but was one of the other parts that made this memorable.
Dhsu Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 It... grows on you. I think there was a thread somewhere in here about it. The final episode is going to be out in a few weeks. I'd rather not voluntarily acquire a taste for emo weeaboo web series.
Thylacine Posted August 2, 2008 Posted August 2, 2008 I'd rather not voluntarily acquire a taste for emo weeaboo web series.Yeah, it's a little emo and probably not for everyone. But they advertised it so much, I thought I'd give the first couple of episodes a shot.Gave me something to watch in between Yahtzee videos.
Nohbody Posted August 3, 2008 Posted August 3, 2008 Yeah, it's a little emo and probably not for everyone. But they advertised it so much, I thought I'd give the first couple of episodes a shot.Gave me something to watch in between Yahtzee videos. I watch past yahtzee videos in between wednesdays. Theyre actually so funny that I cant remember how funny they are, so i watch them again to remind myself.
JCvgluvr Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 IT IS TIME. FOR. THE NEW REVIEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWW!!!!!!!!! Ninja Gaiden 2 Great amount of humor in this one! Bravo Yahtzee!
Argle Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 These reviews have become my favorite thing to look forward to.
Dhsu Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 emo is excellent shut up everyone We're talking about people not music retard.
Sir_Snooze Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 The scouter says that Zero Punctuation's awesome levels are over nine-thousand. I always look forward to those things. I also don't get what you mean about 'emo' - I hardly find Zero Punctuation emo. Or is it one of Yahtzee's other shows?
