The show is great, but ZP needs to get off of the Escapist website. They force bad assignments on him that he says he DOESN'T want to do (See: PEGGLE, for one). He should assert that he's the one in control, not them.

Russ Pitts, one of the guys that hired him, is also an asshole on the forums. He ENCOURAGES new users that berate Yahtzee for trashing a critically acclaimed game, and in the same breath BANS anyone that insults these people.

The Escapist's strategy is, "CONTROVERSY = HITS LOL," when it should just be one unsatisfied man objectively criticizing titles HE chooses to. It should NOT be, "Hey, Call of Duty 4 is out, and everybody loves it. Yahtzee, tear it to shreds. Give us more hits on the Escapist!" I don't think Yahtzee wants to fucking do that episode either, but as far as I can tell, it IS coming next Wednesday.

I love ZP to death, but Yahtzee needs to get the fuck away from that site. My girlfriend loved him at first, but she's gotten tired of his works mostly. Yahtzee made the Escapist, not the other way around. This is Escapist's fault for not giving him full creative control.

Please go somewhere else, Yahtzee. ScrewAttack, GameTrailers, Gamevideos, 1UP.. anywhere but that junkpile site ran by ungrateful people.
