Benjamin Richard 'Yahtzee' Croshaw is an English comedic writer, video game journalist and author of adventure games created using Adventure Game Studio software. Lack of pauses between dramatic moment or new chapters, too much pausing between characters talking, having Croshaw taking a deep breath in my ears or hearing his lips smacking in his one long take, all of it is just unprofessional.

That’s what Boxers & Saints, as the books are called collectively, is all about. Each side in a violent conflict has its own perception of what caused the crisis, and even members of the same side can disagree about objectives and the best way to reach them.
