I actually can't stand Zero Punctuation! xD I find him really, really irritatingly smug.
But you're right about Angry Joe - he's not good, and I don't think he's funny either.

That's what I like about him. His irritating smugness. Besides even if I disagree with him he always competently backs himself up in a followup column the next week. It's like the video is his comedic smug persona and the column is his "hmmm, I better be able to justify that raking now".

I can't stand any of these "video game/movie reviewers" that came around in the mid 2000's. Doug, Spoony, AVGN, you name it. The only reason I can tolerate Yahtzee is because he's actually funny.
Doug is rarely funny, but the thing that irks me the most is his incredibly weird, circle jerking fanbase who write slash fic about him and go to great lengths to assault those who criticize him.

I like a lot of them. Definitely AVGN and Nostalgia Critic, and I like a few of the others (including Spoony).
They are a guilty pleasure, I must say, an indulgence. But God help me, that young man yelling foul obscenities at nintendo games just cracks me up. Interestingly, I'd say AVGN is the only one who seems humble or self-aware.

I'll be honest, I've prefer the Cinema Snob over all of the That guy with the glasses crew. Mainly because he doesn't blow it over like Spoony and at least his v-log reviews of the films were more calm and when he's being bias, he's being upfront about it at least, not force shoving his opinions to viewers like Spoony. (See the Scott Pilgrim movie debate.) Also I've used to like Spoony until recently. not sure why but it seem downhill for me atm.
Don't get me started with the recent Tron film. I have big disagreements about Spoony's opinions. It's not a great film but it's watchable enough and there are worse films to call it shit, like resident evil: afterlife, A Siberian film (I haven't seen it, but you know it's bad when you even find it unbearable to read the summery on Wikipedia).
It all depends on peoples taste I suppose. As for yahtzee, while his style is abrasive, at least doesn't feel forceful with his execution. And you have to admit some of his articles does have a... point. Like the JRPG thing and the female protagonist topic.

Spoony seems to be getting arrogant. He did this one review recently where he spent five minutes - in costume, no less! - mocking viewers who asked him to include jokes.
In his comedy show!

This is why I don't enjoy his stuff anymore nowdays. I hate it when people force shoved their opinions on me. If you're going to do it, at least have a concrete argument like Yahtzee

More news for the Arivial DLC. It was reported that this will be the last one. I hope BioWare makes it a really good one. Prefer out with a bang if this is going to be their last. Anyways, it came from a flyer that is inside the DA2 box. Damn it, BioWare. Trying to lure people to buy DA2 eh? www.videogamer.com/news/mass_effect_2_arrival_dlc_sighted_in_da2_box.htmlFortunately, there's a vid that shows the flyer in great detail for those who are not planning to get the game. (Like me... Uni reasons and I'm quite poor atm.)

Wouldn't it be nice if BioWare gave Arrival free to people who bought new copies of Dragon Age 2?
...
I made myself laugh there.

Well, that would be the honorable thing to do. They're too busy bundling DA2 with content from DA2.
I'm hoping in ME3, they do bigger expansions, instead of these 2 hour running and gunning sessions.

Well, if they did give the promotional code where anyone who brought DA2, where you have the free Arrival DLC, then I'll be more than willing to buy DA2 on day 1.
That's a wishful thinking.
Since that ain't going to happen, fuck it, I'll get DA2 when it's the stocktake sales in mid-year... if they actually lower the price.
And yes, I hope in ME3, they do decent expansions, like the old NWN1 days.

Hmmm...there better not be another death in the opening scene or I'm out. In other topics I wonder if this means we will be getting a Cruiser or something as an upgrade

In other topics I wonder if this means we will be getting a Cruiser or something as an upgrade I really, really hope that's not a Cerberus ship. I'd hope it was Alliance, myself, but I guess we'll just have to wait. -- And I love how Shepard has apparently insisted on having a massive 'N7' logo on the wall of his/her quarters, just to boast about his qualifications! I might paint a big 'GCSE' on my bedroom wall too.
