No, I understand that. He put in just enough to give you a laugh and then moved on, and I think he put in just the right amount to be funny without becoming annoying.

But honestly, who here who's familiar with Yahtzee's opinions of America didn't get a little grin on their face when they saw that he was reviewing an American WWII game? I was just hoping for something original, is all.

As for why America seems so obsessed with WWII, here's my theory. It's the one time in our history that our entire population was entirely behind something. All the efforts and sacrifices made by the American civilians, coming out of a depression, it was a unifying experience. And we haven't had that sort of unity and single-mindedness since then, so we try to remember the "good ol' days" by using WWII as a backdrop for so many of our movies and games.

That's just my take on it.

Hi, I'm an American who was inspired to join these forums because of this topic

I don't see what the big deal is. So Yahtzee made a few jokes about America? It's the popular thing to do nowadays.

What really disappoints me is that nothing that Yahtzee said about us was original. I've come to expect a certain amount of cleverness and creativity with Yahtzee's rants, and I knew the moment I saw he was reviewing a MoH game that he'd be getting some shots in on America. I've read most of his articles, and his America-bashing has always been a breath of fresh air from the generic "Americans are fat, lazy, warmongering ****tards." Our own comedians use all those jokes, the whole world has been using those jokes for decades, they're just not funny anymore.

But then, lo and behold, nothing but fat, lazy, warmongering ****tard jokes I know it sounds silly, but I was really hoping that Yahtzee would burn us good.
