@direpickle Sure did, but I think it's more that I think Ben Croshaw is an opinionated bell end

Anyone know the cheapest was to get to australia other than swimming? I'm pretty sure this is a sign that I'm supposed to molest Mr. Croshaw, but lack the ability to do more than doggy paddle.

I'm not questioning whether it's true or not, I'm just surprised he didn't insult the people who would buy a game just because he likes it in an attempt to deflect the underlying flattery.


I don't know where you get that from. He was asked by the interviewer directly; it's not as if he brought that up himself to boast.

I debated it, I think it can go in. It's close enough

I'm not sure I've ever heard him speak with regular cadence. Quite novel, really!


Yes, it seems to be a rather boring voice when it comes at a regular interval.

"I think Hitler was right"
Given how the Jewish population of Australia is virtually non-existent compared to the US, I think this is a bit like someone from Alaska making edgey "social commentary" on the racial anxiety between whites and blacks in the US.
EDIT: I know he was probably poking fun at antisemitism anxiety


I take it you missed the next screen that read:

Most definitely does not think Hitler was right
Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw
(Phew)

I don't want to say that Zifnab's votes are inflated by Zero Punctuation, but when Ben Croshaw needed a prostate exam, the doctor asked Zif for the results.

And what's with the dragon avatars? I haven't seen that many flamers since Richard Simmons went to the Castro District with a Catholic priest.

I don't want to say that dragons are gay, but I once saw Puff the magic dragon at a restaurant with Liza Minelli.

Anyway, enough about the gay dragons. Let's get to what I really know about Zifnab.

...

Anyway, that was my time. I want to thank Zifnab for being such a good roast. I hope he doesn't return the favor, or I may just have Mothra fight him.

I've always wondered this...why the hell is his name Yahtzee!?


I'd guess it was from his first series of adventure games starring his signature character Arthur Yahtzee.

Here's his profile from his Fully Ramblomatic site:

REAL NAME: Ben Croshaw
POSITION: Editor/Webmaster/Staff writer
ALIGNMENT: Neutral Evil
SHOE SIZE: 12 and a half

Yahtzee was born in Warwickshire, England, on the day of the great storm of 1983. Twenty years later, when England had become too small to accommodate the five hundred kilometre-wide tumour growing out of the back of his neck, he moved to Brisbane, Australia, where a chance encounter with an enraged surfer caused the tumour to become detached. It has now gone on to star in a number of Japanese fetish videos, while Yahtzee occupies a treehouse on the edge of the city, struggling to learn how to live with corks around his hat. The enraged surfer tries to keep in touch, but Yahtzee never answers his phone.

This is the quote from The Escapist on Ben Croshaw:

"Yahtzee is a British-born, currently Australian-based writer and gamer with a sweet hat and a chip on his shoulder."

Which is why it goes in the British channel as well.
