Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw of the infamous Zero Punctuation reviews on The Escapist is a bit tricky to track down, but we were able to get some time in with him at this year's GameX in Philadelphia.
We pitched the fast talking reviewer some questions to get his opinion on the MMO genre beyond his reviews of Tabula Rasa and EVE Online, and found out some interesting things -- like victorian steampunk spaceships are awesome. So what breaks the MMO genre for Yahtzee? Will more MMOs be smash... er... featured on Zero Punctuation? If you're wondering the answers to these questions, then wonder no more! Just click on through after the break to check out our video interview!

What's the point of posting a video without a transcript if the video is completely inaudible?

Can you transcribe this so we don't have listen to all that background noise?

Buy this. Use it. Don't post videos of that quality again.

Agree about the audio quality. It is unacceptably bad. I've seen network news broadcast that will subtitle audio much clearer than that. In the future please transcribe an interview like that, invest in better audio equipment, or schedule an interview in a more appropriate place.
