Like the Nerd crossed with Charlie Brooker.

What's the name of that guy who does videos of game reviews; whose visuals are made entirely of stick cartoons, and who is hilariously funny?

He has done a series of these, and generally pans the shit out of everything, like the Angry Video Game Nerd but slightly funnier and snarkier. I think but am not sure that he is from the UK.

My other half has suggested that he has never seen these, but I clearly recall him dying in a fit of mirth when he saw one once..

Best answer: I think you're referring to Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw of Zero Punctuation, a regular feature at the Escapist Magazine.

Sounds like it might be Yahtzee (Ben Croshaw) of Fully Ramblomatic fame. Game reviews now to be found at The Escapist, under the title Zero Punctuation.

since the question has been answered a little youtube help for all those not knowing who this charlie brooker mentioned in the title is. his columns in the guardian tend to be rubbish but youtube has a lot of solid tv work on him.
