I Am British. I Am Yahtzee.

The Destructoid review of Halo Wars has a video. Jim Sterling does some voice over for the video. He is British. This is a comment on said review;

Let me repeat. “OMFG. Jim, could you be a bigger ripoff of Ben ‘Yahtzee’ Crowshaws’ video reviews if you tried.”

You are an idiot and an imbecile. Your inadequate intelligence shows only your complete lack of any level of understanding on how anything works as well as your ineptitude at understanding the world.

Here is a map to help me explain something to you.

Can you see how there are blue areas as well as areas which are not blue? The not-blue areas are usually where people like you and me live. I know it doesn’t look like your house, but that’s because this photo was taken from very far away. It’s a bit more complicated than that but don’t worry your little brain with such things.

Now, did you know that as well as “Americans” (like you, I assume), there are people from other places? In fact, “Americans” only live in the top bit of the green blob on the left (“North America” to be precise). Yahtzee lives on the little brown bit in the bottom right. He talks funny doesn’t he? That’s called an “English accent” and it’s not just him that has one.

It turns out lots of people sound like that. By “lots” of people I mean more than 5. Again, I don’t want to complicate the situation too much for you, I know you’re quite a simple fellow. See the tiny green blob in the middle, above the large brown blob? That’s a place called “Britain”, where Yahtzee was born before moving to his little brown blob, and the majority of people who live there have a… can you remember?

Yes! Well done! They have an “English accent”. They aren’t trying to be like Yahtzee, they are all just born like that. Like how you were born and are a moron.

You know how you like videogames? Lot’s of people (both with and without “English accents”) like them too. So much so that lot’s of websites have been created for people to talk about them. Where you watch Yahtzee’s videos is one, Destructoid is another. There are lots (more than 5) of these websites.

Now this is the important part you seem to be missing. When Jim does a voice over for a video review, he is not copying Yahtzee. It just so happens that both of them want to do video-based reviews, both (crazily) have “English accents” and you saw Yahtzee first. If you look at the videos, apart from being moving images, they are noticeably different. Again, I don’t want to get to technical here, if you’re still reading by this point, you must be tired. Just take my word for it.

You may notice in the video that I made earlier today that I too have an “English accent”. Unlike Jim however, I am trying to copy Yahtzee. This is because I was born with an “English accent” and Bias.

I know you’re probably very confused, but you have done so well for reading this far. As a reward you should have a nice drink of the yummy pink stuff under the sink that Mummy hides from you. She doesn’t love you and it’s what the cool kids do.
