Maybe instead of freaking out over style, we should wait for substance?

Nah, there are lots of cool gamers. There are just a vocal contingent of them that are fucking trash.

Nah, most of those people (myself included) were teens then and are now grownups with more important things to worry about. Most of us also learned how wrong we were when the game ended up being freakin’ amazing.

haha, silly typo. Too late to edit. Should have said, please do not “eat” handfuls of raw ground beef...

Yeah, this struck me too.  Basically came off as “Good employees work overtime.”

There’s a big difference between steak tartare and eating a handful of ground beef. If you’re getting steak tartare at a decent restaurant it has been specially handled and prepared to be safe. The simple fact is that most of the micro-organisms on beef that will make you sick reside on the outside of the meat. The…

A great game getting ported to more systems is always a good thing. Not sure what the, I can play this on my Steam Deck “Give me a break Nintendo” brings to the conversation.

Yeah, I had the same experience with the game.  I really should go back and finish it one of these days...

Yeah, I thought that was a weird choice too.  Wasn’t my favourite game, but it was far from “awful.”

Congratulations on you Steam Deck, I guess?  Clearly you were looking for some kind of validation...

Been around horses and show horses all my life. The only time I’ve ever seen these used are for carriage horses on public streets. You know what’s a much better way to deal with horse shit indoors?

Those are generally not something you can naturally put on a horse though. They have to be acclimatized to them to some degree, and usually they’re only used on carriage horses etc. that are on public streets where there are ordinances about that kind of thing. Honestly, horse shit really isn’t that big a deal.…

Yeah, the whole “assless chaps” thing is a pet peeve of mine. They’re called “chaps”, using “assless” as a qualifer is about as useless as saying “two wheeled bicycle” but somehow people who say it think they are being very subversive, funny and clever.

Haha, bunch of city slickers writing this blog.

Oh man, I don’t wanna gatekeep, but anyone who can speak with that much enthusiasm about Red Alert is an OG “gamer.”

Yeah, I think not wanting to be seen as owning the “kiddy” system was what drove a lot of the backlash (myself included). Certainly seeing the hyper-realistic (at the time) spaceworld demo turned into “kiddy Link” didn’t inspire a lot of confidence.

Yep. I’m totally one of those fans that ate my words.

Honestly, the best part of the finale was the perfect way that Ewan Mcgregor said “Hello there” to Luke. 

If you think “threatening to kill someone” is the worst thing any of the people on the board have done, then you’re pretty naive.

I’m not sure I agree about the game reviewer.  While I think there is a general belief that a reviewer should have an expertise in what he is reviewing, I also think there is value in an “every-person” reviewer that reviews something from the perspective of the average gamer, and not a hardcore specialist in that…
