I've seen some people take it too seriously, though -- these clearly aren't serious videos.

I read a blog recently, where the author was clearly annoyed at what Yahtzee had to say about a particular game, so he said, "Personally, I prefer my video reviews with American accents."
I wasn't thinking specifically about Zero-Punctuation, but mostly about a video mentioned by Terramax here were he pretty much says the gameplay in adventure games is crap and always was and we should be happy that they're quite dead by now and other genre have the money to invest both in storylines and in decent gameplay.

If that's just his style and not real opinion then, as I said, the validity of anything he says is put into question. What's the point in discussing someone's opinions when that person isn't honest about them?
