All in all I hope that Yahtzee's fans who do show them selves grow up a bit. It kind of sucks that a lot of the people felt like the event was ruined by people shouting stuff outside.
Thankfully, most of the Q&A seems directed at the board as a group and not at Yahtzee in particular. And Yahtzee does not hesitate to chastise his own fans.

Also, just for the record, a guy towards the end actually did ask:
"With your (something) motif and minimalist stylistic conventions, and avant-garde pacing and (something) technique, what implication do you think the medium of the interactive story is having on Western society as a collective?"
A wonderful example of a question asked solely to be heard asking the question, rather than out of any desire to know the answer.

I wish I could get snotty at all those "idiots" but I'd be a huge hypocrite if I did. I guess all I can do is be sad about it.

There is always someone creepier then you. Always.
It's one of those crazy pictures, the evolution of man. It goes ape, critic, ape.

I feel like you were only "creepy" because it was one of Yahtzee's first encounters with a very devoted fan base. All you really did was ask for an autograph.
I feel like the people at the conference may not have been creepy, but they were quite irritating. It seems like you should always at least show a measure of respect for the venue itself that is having the convention/discussion/etc.
Especially since that particular group was very angry, and placed all their anger on a group of people whose only mistake was to misjudge Yahtzee's popularity. That one failure was the source of say, inadequate advertisements about the need of tickets, etc.
.... Meh! I feel weird going so far in depth about a small event, a continent away, that has nothing to do with me whatsoever. So I'll stop now.

Oh come on. If you could kill lots of people while doing handsprings, how much of a reason would you need?
