What do you guys think of Yahtzee's books?

I only read mogworld. It read like a Pratchett work of metafantasy. looked for jam in shops but couldn't find it. Haven't read his most recent but I've moved onto more serious lit. If you like pratchett or mmo-themed comedic fantasy go for mogworld

>> No.10444242

I think he's a fairly solid comedy writer, Will Save the Galaxy For Food and Mogworld are both good books on their own merits. The humour comes off as a bit forced sometimes but his style definitely translates well from video to paper.

He's doing pretty well, definitely the only person still working for the Escapist that's worth listening to these days.
Jim Sterling went independent a few years back but he's still pretty funny. Bob Chipman was sacked around the same time and has since become a living parody of himself (not that he was ever better than Yahtzee or Sterling).

The best thing he ever did was reading Eye of Argon with his buddy Gabe.

I really enjoyed Mogworld, it was like some weird combination of SAO and a Pratchett novel, but it worked extremely probably because I did waste away a past life in MMOs. The man definitely has a target demographic.

Jam was ok. The execution was a bit stilted, but it was passable, parts were amusing. I think it could be better adapted as a movie than a book.

Haven't read his latest thing though.
