You know why I read Yahtzee's reviews? Because aside from the humor, they are better put together, and more interesting than 99% of the reviews out there. That's why it irks me when I read people at Kotaku and like commenting on how "He isn't funny anymore" etc.
I mean, underneath that hilarious exterior, lies a reviewer with some insight, who understands where modern day gaming has come from. While I actually don't agree with him half the time, I still respect the perspective he brings in his reviews.
So yea, the internet crowd screaming about him losing his hilarious edge makes me a little sad. I guess they just see him as some brainless ass clown.
A few months ago, I tried listening to a 1UP yours podcast, where the lead talked about Yahtzee, saying very seriously, "This guy is just not funny any more. His 15 minutes are up yo!" That was the first and last time I humored that particular podcast, but to me it was just laughable considering who the observation was coming from.
