I feel that Cad was right to try something diffrent its in the artist right for his work. personally if i did not believe so strongly in such a right, i would not continue to watch zero punctuation. this was not a review or a critisism, it was a petty squable. i can watch those here in forums i watch things like cad because i find them funny insightfull. It was always clear yahtzee had a problem with cad for some reason going back to eailier posts. though yahtzee seems to want videogames to be taken seriously as art he cant seem to say the same for comics


I would equate the abortion, to the dead bird from calvin and hobbes, or the possum strip, both very very sad, deal with death.

yahtzee also seems to have a problem with long dialog, also see calvin and hobbes, or drawing style see penutes. honestly this episode lowered my view of the man significantly

 

I can't speak for yahtzee but I don't think the problem is that he tried new things...its the super serious, and frankly depressing topic of miscarriage that was too much for me. Trying new things is good even if its a more serious something new, but sometimes when you try something new people don't like it.  Tim's responce on his forums was exactly right imo..he said "Everyone is entitled to their opinion" (might be a slight paraphrase).

As for not wanting comics to be taken seriously...well yeah they are comics...as in comedy.
