Zero Punctuation is a series of video game reviews created by English comedy writer and video game journalist Ben “Yahtzee” Croshaw. Since the series began in 2007, over 600 episodes have been created, which have been published weekly by internet magazine The Escapist. Episodes typically range from 5 to 6 minutes in length. Videos provide caustic humour, rapid-fire delivery, visual gags and critical insight into recently released video games, with occasional reviews of older games and retrospectives of the industry itself.
In his 2008 review of The Witcher, Croshaw sarcastically referred to the PC gaming community as “the glorious PC gaming master race”, intending to criticize the perceived elitist attitudes in that community. The phrase has since become an internet meme, and has been appropriated and championed by that community. In a 2018 review, Croshaw explained that he regretted calling the community “PC master race” instead of “dick-slurp all-stars,” citing a continuation of the behavior that originally prompted the term.
