Best Review oif Elite: Dangerous Ever.

I do not understand half of what he says : English is not my mother tongue. I can watch movies and series without any problem, but this guy simply speaks too quickly for me. I'm not sure why ... Probably he is delusional enough to think this is "cool", "modern", "trendy"... ?
Good for him : he can make a living with the native speakers audience I guess. Or die with all the "I'm in my Island and I don't care about the rest of the world" crowd. Whatever : still a thumb down, as far as I'm concerned.

Ah yes, Zero Punctuation. This review was part of what made me get this game 
He's a really popular video reviewer with fast talking caustic humorous reviews being his thing so he's not really delusional at all
Interestingly he also rated it as the 2nd best game of 2015. I've always loved his reviews.
OK, I first thought you were weird for writing that.Ah yes, Zero Punctuation. This review was part of what made me get this game
So I watched a few of his other reviews. Now I understand. By comparison, he really likes ED.

I know him very well for a very long time : I was just playing the grumpy one because (as a foreigner) I have a hard time understanding him. But we have a guy doing the very same thing in my own language, and he is quite good as well. So, it was really just me trying to annoy everyone

No it's more likely that he, like 70% of gamers, has ADHD. It kinda makes you talk and type really really fast.
And I understand English is not your primary language, I'm learning Japanese and have the same trouble with people speaking Japanese.
When you get used to how people talk day to day, IE fast and concise, then it'll be easier to understand things like this.
And regardless, you sound like a colossal ass. So to put it bluntly; if you're going to look down on people because you can't understand them, then you're *IN* the "I'm in my island and I don't care about the rest of the world" crowd.
And don't get offended at me telling the blunt unaltered truth.
It's not my problem.
You're not his audience.
The problem with people speaking Japanese is that the pedagogical construct "Japanese" you learn has very little to do with how Japanese people use the language in the real world; the ideology behind the language that is presented is tied up in ideas of nationalism and "Japaneseness". (And they don't speak like they do in Cowboy Bebop either. Probably the best anime for learning Japanese would be Doraemon, imo.)
The issue with the speech in that review is that it's fast - artificially so - and significantly faster than native speakers would normally speak. It's got nothing to do with ADHD; it's for style purposes.

Dear old Yahtzee. The only game reviews worth watching
The channel is named zero punctuation for a reason. The talking speed is basically his trademark (that and the strong language).
Well, with a title of "Zero Punctuation" he delivers what's on the tin.The channel is named zero punctuation for a reason. The talking speed is basically his trademark (that and the strong language).
He does other vid series where he talks normally, but I like the fast pace. Let's me fit in many of his reviews in a short period of time.
I'm not a native speaker either. I can understand him but I need to concentrate 200%. I stopped watching after a minute or so because I felt a headache coming up.

I wonder what purpose such fast speech serves? It reminds me of a comedian in my country who also talks very very fast. People joke about him that he speaks so fast so you don't have time to realise he is actually telling very poor jokes.

It's probably just a way of defining a unique style for his reviews to help differentiate from other reviewers.
No he doesn't have ADHD, his voice is just sped up in Zero Punctuation videos because that's his thing. You can hear him talk considerably slower in his videos that are not related to the series.
I love ZP!
First ever video I watch of his was the review for Eve Online. Hilarious! I was almost crying from laughter.
Probably my most favourite ZP video.
The ED one is pretty funny too.
