Lindner Yes, I agree. That joke alone adds an extra star.
IrishWhiskey I don't think the mellowing is wholly responsible, but this wasn't very funny. +1 for the last joke.
It is accurate though. Gears is a good game, but I was more excited to play worse games, like Mirror's Edge. Its just too familiar to be exciting.
Goethe and ernie Were I to compare the hours I've spent enjoying Gears 2 online in the past week with the hours of amusement Yahtzee's provided in the last year, I'm sad to say that testosterone, soul patches, and gratuitous violence would be in the winning camp.
Sorry Yahtzee, you're not funny anymore.
fatatty Yahtzee hasn't gotten less funny it's just that your hours of GoW have made you callous and cold. You may have some form of PTSD that's affecting your sense of humor. Unfortunately videogame veterans get even worse care than real veterans so I think you may be fucked.
Goethe and ernie I stopped finding Yahtzee funny months before I even got round to buying a 360. His schtick wore its welcome out a long long time ago.
Goethe and ernie Gears HAS desensitised me to soulpatches though, I'll admit that.
