I am hopelessly devoted to Yahtzee's weekly reviews.

Oblivion is a PC game? And here was me thinking it was a 360 port :p

Kidding.

Aye, his reviews are usually well put, despite some glaring omissions from his reviews, meaning you only really get the slightest gist of what it's like. I think the only game I've bought influenced on his reviews was Psychonauts, which he was spot on with, I have to admit...

And hell, if he thought Cyrodil was pretty samey all across, Morrowind was the same in that respect, but I suppose it had the advantage of being unique, and not being English countryside. Still, who wants yet another Final Fantasy/Zelda-style all-inclusive macro-climate world when you can just play Final Fantasy or Zelda...

How's Hammerfell coming BTW? I've been away for so long I have no idea what you guys have been up to, or where you're at now

He seems to bee very popular indeed, since many other forums are reporting about this review at the same time.
I can understand what he says but definitely he speaks way too fast, more than any other American, I rofled all the time too.

And it's an Italian saying that!

Yes, indeed! We are famous for our love for betting too.

It depends on persons though, we aren't all the same. Basically I was saying that the way that guy talks is really hillarious, every american talks faster than people from UK but it's really the first time that I hear one who talk so fast!

Thats because he lives in Australia. I'll bet nomadic talks just that fast.

I always watch these, and I always love to see the glaring flaws in oblivion pointed out, so this was a win win for me.

He's not American. I don't remember where he's from but you can tell from his accent and from some phrases he uses (like 'oh bugger'. Such a weak ass statement is not fit for American mouths. We prefer the much more succinct 'shit', or 'fuck'.) And way to go TF for stereotyping.

He's an Englishman living in Australia... oh and he has a sweet hat.

That was hilarious!

Australians don't talk that fast. We're not Irish.
