    Hey folks,
    We know a lot of you aren't getting notified when new ZP videos are available. We're aware this is partially due to the revival of the channel and adding new content that's not ZP that many are not interested in, and it may also be down to our uploading schedule as well. Since quite a few of you just want to be notified when only ZP is available, we've created an official Twitter account you can follow that will literally just be a feed for ZP videos and ZP tweets. twitter.com/ZPunctuation
    However, I'd also like to run a little experiment on our end to test the data. If you're willing, please ring the bell on our channel so that you're notified of the rest of our content for at least the next two weeks so that we can get some usable data to see how many people are being notified about ZP / other videos. It would really help us out a lot! If you don't want to be notified of all our content after those two weeks, feel free to shut off the bell!
    TH-cam's notification system is incredibly spotty so the more data I have to work with, the easier it is to find out how many are missing ZP videos due to recent changes on the channel, or for other outside factors.
    Thanks in advance if you help us out!

    I find it quite interesting that in the start of the video he refers to a Nazis as his reference point for 'systematic coldness' considering the actions of the Imperial Japanese army of the same time period - see Nanking as one among many example.
    Not necessarily a judgement on the video or the like but more an observation of the presentation of both of the two major axis powers and their perception in general media.

      I suppose my specific point was that this was a Japanese company but you're quite right as another regime who's brutality is not as recognised nor used for humour.
      I would be intrigued to go back and see if there references to the Nazis is German game companies. Again not trying to cause a flap and decry our dear Yatzee just interested from a portrayal of history in the media perspective.

    What makes this so damn tragic is the director of the game did Contra: Shattered Soldier, one of the most testicle crushing yet completely spectacular games on the PS2, and Rocket Knight Adventures, a bonafide cult classic of the 16 bit era.
    I want to believe Konami held a gun to his head to turn Contra into Borderlands, and the hip flasks at E3 read like a cry for help, but geez.
