bigger and bigger disaster
It won't be war, disease, famine, or natural calamity that bring about the end of mankind…it'll be this show.

I figured the ending would be where Sly Cooper turns up and steals the macguffin.

In A.V. Club did one Neckbeard
A stately first attempt decree
Where Snark, the sacred Index ran
Through websites measureless to man
Down to a sunless fail

That would be "Tentacle Fuck You."

But Mike, I'm just agreeing with you when I say you can't understand the reviews, remember? And if you could write, well, then maybe you would defend your "points" instead of simply becoming more and more spastically incoherent before inevitably fantasizing about what you'd like to do to me in real life. You can't…

Just because you've seen grownups use words like "logical fallacy" and "contradiction" enough times to finally work out that they're kind of negative, that doesn't mean you actually know how to apply them correctly. They don't just mean "an opinion that's not the same as yours plus a lot of words you're far too stupid…

Yeah, while I lived in Japan, everyone said it was awful, and the son was usually mentioned as the reason.

There's no mystery, Mike. To understand how they arrive at the grades, all you have to do is read the reviews. Simple, for most people. You, on the other hand, are bewildered and frightened by any phrase less straightforward than shampoo instructions, so you've never understood a single thing you've read here.

"…there are plenty of games I would quickly defend as good art despite their lack of an ostensible story….Design itself, as a synthesis of aesthetics and interaction, can be incredibly powerful…"

Dammit, that's a winner right off the bat.

It depends on what you liked about Fallout 3. Opinions are pretty split (see review & discussions here http://www.avclub.com/artic…. Summarizing my own assessment, I really, really liked exploring F3's locations, and that aspect was scaled back so much for NV that I found it really unsatisfying, even though there were…

Yes dear, I'm sure everyone at metacritic was very, very impressed, and relieved that you brought this travesty to their attention, not to mention shamed that they let it go on so long. No doubt they brought the hammer down hard on the AVC, since they're not about reporting game scores, but dictating them.

Pretty much all I remember about the movie was that the handheld game device that served MacGuffin duty was a TurboXpress, and this was unreasonably exciting to me as an owner of said device.

If I could make The Kickboxing Cakeboxer, I'd be way, way in.

Thanks for pointing out Emily Short's response; excellent points about the nature of choices in games, and if anyone's qualified to speak on that subject, she is. In light of her analysis, if the Schopenhauer business is in aid of anything, it's clearly *for* games as art.

You got me; I'll give it a try, then.

won't somebody think of the beasts!?
The title got my dander all up, but I guess, given that he's not really much of an actual hunter, and the "beasts" in question probably don't exist and he never finds them anyway, I'll just take my solidarity elsewhere. First Beastly, now this…

So, you can't convince anyone it exists?

Maybe it's just because I've been watching too much Trailer Park Boys in the last few days, but that guy looks a lot like Ricky.
