Update: We're experiencing issues with the embedded video player from The Escapist. To watch the video you can click through to Zero Punctuation's section of The Escapist site by clicking the image above.
Zero Punctuation has decided to reach into a bag marked, "Games History Deemed Better Than Life" to find out exactly what the appeal is. Victim number one is everyone's favorite open world role-playing game, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. From Bethesda, the guys working on the upcoming Fallout 3, Oblivion takes players on an epic adventure that Yahtzee suspects is really just a poor copy and paste extravaganza.

It's OK. Jay just wanted to refresh our memories of his online presence and with constructive comments like that, one wonders how we forgot he existed.

Old unless you apparently spend every second on the internets. When we all know we should spend every minute on our 360s.

What's "new", Jay? Do you have a blog where I can read the freshest news? If not, you should totally start one. I hear you can get them for free from Google now! But I bet you probably knew that already because you're so up to date on the latest trends and internet happenings!

HAHA. I love how you scream OLD on this and I'm the douchebag that wants to start a war.
Anyway, it's all good. Besides, I'm not getting into a battle of wits with someone who doesn't have any ammunition.

lol.
You're right. You win. Mr columnist, I bow down to your greatness.
From all the back-and-forths we've had so far ... I really think it is best if you just stop now. I would hate to make a grown man cry.
Maybe I'll start a blog where we post RECENT news ...

Here's a breaking news story for you Jay:
Asshat of the moment award goes to Jaybird1905
Now, who do I see about my payment?

jaybird1905 said...
Asshat? Wow. That sure is a throwback insult if I've ever seen one ... you've been waiting, what ... 6 years to use that?
Email me the payment through PayPal, my user name is FuckYouZenGaijin. We can work out another form of payment if you'd like to do it in person.

Hey Xav, I know, from experience, that you love a good flame war, but any chance of helping me out instead of responding to that idiot? Has anyone else tried to play the video, because it's not working for me.
