How to anger fanboys into a frothy rage

I won't be suprised if noone here knows who Yahtzee is. His reviews are one of those things that you just stumble upon. Yahtzee reviews popular games for the online magazine The Escapist and I discovered him not too long after the realease of Halo 3.

I am a member of a forum called Fandom Wank, a site dedicated to finding all of those wonderful dramatic arguments and bits of drama that pop up on fan-sites. People document and link these little gems for our viewing pleasure. Check out the archives to see if something you love has been sodden with wank.

Anyway, recently someone posted a link to Yahtzee's most recent review of Halo 3. Yahtzee trashes the game in a wonderful little Flash review (see below: kinda not work safe due to language) and the fans go nuts. Tearful pleading for Yahtzee to give the game another chace are paired with accusations that his accent is fake in a ploy to "discredit British gamers everywhere". Wonderful stuff, so I thought I would link the review here. Enjoy.
