Yahtzee, the Australian journalist/game reviewer and video reviewer took a week off to visit Valve in the States. The Escapist has the article if you haven't read it yet. If you haven't seen his videos I think they're hilarious and can be found here.

 From the article: "

About a week ago, Yahtzee got on a plane to visit Valve. Seems they were so tickled by his review of The Orange Box, they wanted to meet him in person and shake his hand. Either that or shoot him and dump him in Puget Sound. The suspense was palpable. But even if they did whack him, he'd at least get to visit the US, which, as we all know, was a lifelong dream of his.

The only problem was he wouldn't have time to prepare a Zero Punctuation review for this week. Instead, he wrote a travelogue of his experiences in Seattle, including visiting a shooting range, firing handguns with the people from Valve. Yeah, it doesn't get any better than that.

So here it is, Yahtzee's Travelogue. Several days ago, he boarded a plane in Australia, headed for the United States, and returned only a few hours ago. Along the way he lost some luggage, a little innocence and gained a whole new perspective on life, and what it means to be an American. Maybe. Enjoy!

What I find funny is he has the same wanker (yet hilarious) style writing as he does in his reviews. 

Also if anyone has received this month's Wired magazine there are some great articles in there relating to the new seasons of Futurama as well as the technology being used in Iraq. I highly recommend it.
