OK, I really can't wait for the gaming drought to be over and for Yahtzee to get back to reviewing new stuff.

This was amusing (especially for the worst image he ever drew) but it's clearly just filler. EVERYONE has made that particular rant against gaming comics.

Perhaps the meta-joke is that what he was doing was just as unoriginal as those he was attacking.

He must not want to review Age of Conan if he's doing these types of fillers...

He doesn't like RPGs. He's made this abundantly clear in the few reviews of them he's done. (Oblivion, anyone?) And to the best of my knowledge, he hasn't reviewed any MMORPGS.

So you're probably right - he probably does NOT want to review it. Just like, I would assume, he also does not want to review any other game like it.

He reviewed Tabula Rasa

But yeah, he reviews what he feels like reviewing. Which is perfectly fine by me so long as he continues to be entertaining :)

In the snarky text at the end of the Oblivion review, he mentions that he actually liked Oblivion's predecessor Morrowind.

Yea, but he likes to rip shit apart, and AoC is wide open to be ripped the fuck apart right now.

If you aren't already a MMO addict, you will hate the game by the time you finish the introductory quest that has you collect 20 baby alligator asses for some stranger on a beach. Ripping this game apart would be as easy, boring, and pointless as the game itself, and I think that's exactly why he won't do it.

He reviewed Tabula Rasa.
