The Spoony Experiment

Gamespot interviews Yahtzee, mentions TSE!

by Scarlett on March 22, 2008 · 19 comments

In a recent interview with Gamespot, Ben “Yahtzee” Croshaw mentioned that I’m his favorite internet game critic. If you don’t know who that is, Yahtzee is a mad Brit who does the famous Zero Punctuation reviews on The Escapist, and he’s easily one of the funniest dudes around. You should definitely check him out!

Thanks Yahtzee!

Wow grats Noah :)
Quite the honor I think to be recognized by the only other reviewer of just a high rank of Snarkiness.

What the hell he likes Spoony but not the AVGN? Damn a +1 and -1 in one paraphrase. Still good to see your getting props from one of the industry’s finest!

This interview is the reason I fell in geek-love with you over a year ago (a year?!?!). I love Yahtzee, but I some-word-greater-than-love you Spoony. You mentioned in your latest blog that you’d like to be on Yahtzee’s game show if it became a reality. I have to say however that I would be against a show featuring both you and Yahtzee. I am afraid that that combination would satisfy too many of my geek wet dreams and may lead me to die a very euphoric death. I just can’t take that chance.

P.S. I’ve gotten three of my friends addicted to you as well. My relationship with you is like my relationship with Herpes. I share the love.

Maybe yahtzee will be fired from escapist because he reviewed game that has not been released and he will come to TGWTG page? :D
That would be awesome. Yahtzee is my 2. favorite reviewer.

Yahtzee bows to the Spoony One. This proves Spoony is the second coming! All hail to him, the Spoony One!
