You're lying, these two cancel each other out.

This implies that you don't have sex very often. "Anytime that she wants" would be rare. Well, I'm still considering celebasy as a Buddhist monk. It avoids the awkward "virgin" conversations a little better... Why did I choose to be a nerd...?

Yes, that was the joke.

I know. I like ruining jokes for other people. It is a gentle hobby. And the whole nerd thing's kinda ruined me for life then apparently... Although the Buddhist monk thing did too... I'll just do both anyway... Yay for celibacy!

Ah yes, Yahtzee classicism. Personally, I'm a ZP noob, and I've only traced "Mr. Y"'s exploits as far back as Y.T.O.T.W., which I honestly can say that I enjoyed far more than Zero Punctuation. And while I haven't read every single article on "FR" (I'm picking up the slang), I have read a lot of the older articles, and of those only Ask Yahtzee and a few other random ones really stick out as better than or as good as the average ZP. The rest of it just doesn't click with me.
So from my it's-all-past-tense-anyway perspective, would I rather go back to the old days of text and MS paint? No, no I don't think I would. Yahtzee had good moments before, but ZP is the first thing since Y.T.O.T.W., at least that I have found so far, that I can count on to be consistently hilarious.
...
...How the hell is "classicism" a word when "Yahtzee" isn't? I thought I was making one of those words up and that the other was a well-known game. God, my spellcheck thing is so clueless. It doesn't understand me at all. >_<

The minute I realized that this Zero Punctuation thing really took off, I was relieved to see him get praise for many of the things that we (the forumites) knew he was capable of. I did however, ask myself “How long is this Zero Punctuation thing gonna last?” As great as ZP is, the rabid dog pit that is the internet does eventually grow bored of its play things, before running off to find the next flavour of the month… and sap it dry.
I mean, for as long as it lasts, that’s great. But I think now’s the opportune time for him to branch off into other avenues.
In short, Yahtzee needs to write a huge fucking book.

And anything Yahtzee did pre-YTOTW is a bit hazy and hard to come by, unless you were there, which'd include all of... erm... Chefelf himself? I think going backwards, we have:
- ZP
- Articles for Hyper et similar.
- Chzo Mythos, and other assorted games
- FR
- Both YTOTW and his Lance and Eskimo articles (most of these are on FR now, but look in his garish red L&E page for some underseen gems)
~ The Rob Blanc Trilogy
~ Reality on the Norm stuff
~ Somes games involving the red-headed professor guy from the last few YTOTW
~~Closely related, the site it was hosted, a Geocities one if I'm not mistaken. What went on there is beyond the ken of man.
- The Arthur Yahtzee Trilogy (I know full well that was the first thing he made, although I don't know how I know...)
Think I caught everything. Was rather fun. Why did I do it again?
