Seriously. I read Kotaku lazily throughout the day (on the off-chance they report something interesting) and this douche's articles pop up continuously. Always condescending, rarely benign, guaranteed to completely insult somebody, he's an author with what must be a mostly troll or generally idiotic audience. I seriously don't get why this guy still has a job. I'm fine with negativity (hey, you've all seen me post) but he takes things that people should really respect (and I even cringe at what he says about things I don't even like) and stomping over them in such a condescending manner with no rhyme nor reason, or even anything besides stereotypes as substance to back it up is a terrible way to write. And while that may sound exactly like me, the difference is the fact that I give respect where respect is due and I always have a well-reasoned argument to back up my statements. He's also doing quite the disservice to all of his own Australian comrades, to be honest. Anyone who sees him (knowing his nationality) and then watches Yahtzee is going to wonder what's up down under.
Yes, I know Ben Croshaw is British.
Also, the World at War beta. That thing has done nothing for itself but lose sales. Seriously. I posted a fairly large mini-essay on the subject of my dislikes
HERE. It covers maybe 60% of my problems with the game, and the others are either too technical or nit-picky to bother posting.
And if you have a PSP, get Firmware 5.00. It's the bomb. If you *DON'T* have a PSP, get one.
