I wasn’t referring to sales. Sales don’t make something great. Anheuser Busch sells a ridiculous amount of Budweiser. I’d say it’s diluted shit in a can, but I’d still be giving that beer too much of a compliment.
EDIT - well, I might have been, depending on which post you were replying too. Point being, its the…

Holy crap. Wow. That’s really awful. He was so young.

Too much fan service would have included Star Wars and have Yoda and the Doctor getting into an argument or something while Marvel and DC legos have a pissing contest.

If anyone is anti-washing...

Bill Maher is not quite the same as the rest.

Didn’t we cover this ground already?

Maybe I need to see more. All I see is a puppypigeon.

Fuck it, just bust out the tentacles, this already went way too far as is, might as well be done with half measures.

Ha ha, you might not think I can fit both, but I can!

Nice spot for a touch screen interface.

I remember hearing how great Ico was - so I busted my ass to find a copy. Got it, tried it, sat back thinking WTF? Put it back. Got Shadow of the Colossus. Got my ass beaten down repeatedly because the character felt completely uncontrollable. Put it away. Got PS3 remakes thinking hey maybe the control scheme is…

OK, you can make an argument that in this case perhaps bullying is a bit too strong of a word. I do understand where you’re coming from in this particular article. I feel as though there is a growing trend towards aggressive, persuasive negativity and mild shaming in blog writing these days, even if it is mild or…

I don’t get why people love bullying tactics in blog posts. AAAARGH ENOUGH OF BLACK AND WHITE ITS ALL GREY! YOU’RE EATING YOUR CUPCAKES ALL WRONG! Although they are social constructs, the intro/extro/ambivert labels still have merit. If I were to use bullying tactics in an article I’d go with something like Let’s quit…

My response to this game was and still is “so... it’s a boy and his chihuahua pigeon?”

Its good news, but jeez people. Some of you weren’t even in your daddy’s nut when this came out.

Every time I’ve tried to dislodge one my gag reflex kicks in and I dry heave. It is not pleasant.

Give up my coffee, booze, cheese, and meat? Fuck that, deal with my funk.
