He would upload his first review "The Darkness Demo (Fullyramblomatic review)" on July 25 the same year. After a second review on "Fable: The Lost Chapters" on July 30, it was picked up by internet magazine The Escapist and was renamed to Zero Punctuation.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOBTN67K0Zw It would later become famous in the gaming community, and has at least spawned one internet meme.https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/the-glorious-pc-gaming-master-race

===End of Zero Punctuation===
On November 6, 2023, The Escapist's current owner, Gamurs Group, fired long-standing Editor-in-Chief Nick Calandra for "not achieving goals". Out of solidarity, Croshaw and The Escapist's video team resigned from the magazine and formed Second Wind, an employee-owned outlet.https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/video-series-zero-punctuation-is-seemingly-ending-following-the-escapist-staff-exodus/
However, Croshaw said that he didn't own the rights to Zero Punctuation, leaving the future of the series in doubt.https://youtu.be/KG2ttRgc5Zk?t=3163 He would be continuing his video game reviews under the name of Fully Ramblomatic, named after his blog.
The final reviews, Sonic Superstars and Marvel's Spider-Man 2 were uploaded on November 21-22. These were made before Yahtzee's departure from The Escapist.https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxZ0L0ru1vZLamEchRCGtqH4_712IZozap
