Aye, there's plenty coming from yourself anyway boyo.

It does feel like bandwagoning a fad, mind you, and I don't know how successful CoD will be in pulling folks away from Fortnite. PUBG is a bit of a mess from most accounts, so I reckon that CoD will snaffle up some of that market regardless.

Everyone I know that bought COD, bought it for Black Out but I now see none of my friend's playing it even if its the best mode as the multiplayer is okay at best and I've never liked zombies.

I'm glad I didn't buy it.

Hmm . . . I'm not ready to listen to Yahtzee again after reading to his shite, smug book a couple of months back.

Which one was that? I've only read Mogworld, but I really enjoyed it.

I'm afraid I got fed up with Yahtzee after he played Dark Souls II with his mate Gabe. They started arguing with each other because Gabe was making a hash of killing a drake - a proper strop on, it wasn't a "bit". And then 5 minutes after they calmed down, Yahtzee made a point of addressing the viewers, to warn them about complaining about the argument, because arguing is what grown-ups do.

No it isn't. Arguing because you're stuck on a videogame is what 7-year-olds do. But that comment came with an air of superiority.

I couldn't find a link to that, but I did find a Reddit thread that said that there's tons of arguments between Yahtzee and his mate, so perhaps it is indeed a bit? Albeit not a very funny one, mind you.

I read Jam and it was exactly how I would have imagined a book by Yahtzee.

I don't know if you've heard of this game - it's called Red Dead Redemption 2. I imagine that has pulled a lot of the attention away from CoD

I'll be back on CoD once I'm done with it, that's for sure, but I reckon Red Dead is distracting most folk at the moment.

I'm guessing you don't mean fast-paced, witty, poorly illustrated, and shoved full of Blackadder-esque similes?

I mean it was one-note, only mildly funny, nowhere near as clever as it clearly thought and full of unearned cynicism.

Ah. That said, did you enjoy ZP before reading the book, or had you grown bored of it a while back? I may still find that one note quite funny.

I can't really stand him anymore. He's got some shite politics, the aforementioned habit of arguing with his mate and a penchant for similes straight from a Jeremy Clarkson skit.

I grew out of it when I grew pubes.

Sounds like I'd still find the book amusing then...

...oh wait maybe not.  Tell me he hasn't done a Jontron.
