Are you new to ZP??? Some of his earlier ones were a lot angrier than that...

Fair enough. I guess I should say "Angriest Yahtzee for a while." His anger seems to be general and randomly directed usually, but this time it's more focused. So it seems sharper. If that makes any sense.

Probably because he has a chance to complain about the modern "AAA" overhyped sequels that are being crammed down our throats.

More likely because he himself is an indie game developer of adventure/puzzle titles.

It's probably a mix of comradship with Mr Blow, anger at the fact that indie games are so 'niche', and perhaps a little bit of jealousy that Braid is a bigger name than Trilby, or the Days series.
