Zero Punctuation reviewed Torchlight yesterday!
Of course he was both inaccurate (you don’t have to keep clicking at all, you can hold the button down) and overly harsh, but still very funny. It’s odd to enjoy watching something you had a hand in (albeit in a background technology way in my case) being ripped to shreds, but when it’s done in such an amusing way somehow it’s ok. I guess this is why Yahtzee hasn’t had his teeth kicked in by disgruntled game developers yet
As Runic’s Twitter said: “We’ve arrived!”.

I’d see it as a badge of honor as well. It’s like being roasted by famous comedians. Yes you get made fun of, but it’s a huge honor even being chosen.
Now if only Runic would release that Mac port already! I’ve passed up some excellent Steam sales so I can happily buy it at full price for Mac.

That’s wicked cool. Yahtzee’s the best in the biz.
