Editing Zero Punctuation (section)

==Yahtzee and Warhammer==
Warhammer and Warhammer 40k are among the many series he's referenced in his videos, which is at least fitting considering its '80s British cultural origins, though it doesn't seem he has any interest in it himself. At one point in 2011, he wrote an article in his more at-length 'Extra Punctuation' editoral, bashing the setting of 40k based on his impression of the [[Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine|''Space Marine'' game]]; his calling the setting "juvenile" and overly [[grimdark]] has earned him quite a bit of [[butthurt|"well deserved" flak]], with the resulting [[skub|nerd rage]] festering all across the 40k community and seeping even into [[1d4chan|this very wiki]], if the page's history is any indication.

Of note is that he didn't actually review the game after playing it, which only fanned the flames further. Even ignoring that it would've been a waste of time anyway, as indicated by many other episodes - particularly where he "debated" between reviewing ''Space Marine'' and another game called ''Hard Reset'' - this was very likely a conscious decision. ("...given options, I'll go for the one that infuriates tosspots.") It may be that he doesn't particularly care about the series - at the least, he had clearly determined it to not be for him anyway, as he would with ''[[Total War: Warhammer II]]''. So yay for consistency! Also worth noting, many [[The Legend of Zelda|Legend of Zelda]] fans have leveled that same accusation at him for criticizing what he sees as repetitive "standard heroic myth" plots, in spite of him actually enjoying Wind Waker, Majora's Mask and Breath of the Wild (though it's not by accident that all those are considered divergences from the 'usual' formula to varying degrees).

In retrospect, this sort of thing is [[lulz|tacitly hilarious]], considering the amount of fans overall that will and do give 40k shit currently for being [[Grimderp|overwrought]] and [[Edgy|pointlessly dark]], especially in the hands of its less skilled writers; many oft-criticized plot elements and contrivances can also be summarized as reading like [[/co/|so much by-the-book capeshit]], especially given the comics industry's own history with regards to laying on the grimdark too thickly. That's not to say those fans are wrong, but something something pots meet kettles. Plus it's not like /tg/ doesn't actively run with the idea of being nerd rage personified, lulzy as it can be [[Not As Planned|when it becomes genuine]].

Also, as far as "not understanding the setting", one of his more recent references described the setting of a game he panned as "like Warhammer 40K but without the irony" so... y'know, you tell us.
