"You "game review industry buff" types like to take yourselves seriously, don't you?"

I am in no way a "buff".  I just want to read an informative, well written professional review. If I wanted a fanboi rant I could just click on any of the millions of blogs or forums around.  Humor in a review is fine by me.  David Smith and Dave Z from the OLD IGN used to inject humor often, and David Smith was a sarcastic, sardonic biting bastard.  But he was a brilliant writer (check out his ICO review, which is considered by most to be the standard)."

You're being contrary. Humor is ok as long as you think it's funny, but otherwise it's unprofessional? Also, what is the difference between a podcast and a review in this case? Both are a legitimate business tactic, that is both are designed to generate traffic. Should a written opinion be held to a different standard than a spoken opinion? Why?"

 

I think I'l ljust stick with my PC.

This is the epitome of trolling.

1. "Does everyone/anyone hate popular thingX"
2. "Is it just me or.."
3. "Bunch of random hater anecdotes"

"He also used the word "retarded" in his review

for Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard here's the context:

"...this boss battle becomes a battle against retardedmechanics."

Oh now that's what I call classy Greg Miller"

This is what I am talking about.  He goes into this "fanboi schtick coma" and can't get out.  His reviews are written like something I would expect from a 12 year old who is flunking school.  I've never heard his podcasts, but is he the kid who was squealing like a pig and yelling about Penny Arcade when PA was actually commenting on 1up not IGN?  "

Giant Bomb says retarded on the Bombcast all the time. MORE SCANDAL!"

"The people at my gamestop don't even know what the fuck they're talking about. I told them I was looking for a gaming modem for my PS3, he told me that all PS3's had build-in wi-fi. After an epic facepalm, I just left."

What the hell's a gaming modem? Sounds more like a modem with the word gaming tacked on. I dunno, but when you say gaming modem for a ps3, it almost sounds like a router to me.I dunno, it's not outrageous to confuse. Getting an a new modem itself for solely the ps3 is rather unique imo. Overkill."

ROFL@ rare games at Gamestop.  Ever since I've known gamestop existed, they have NEVER had a rare used game.   and back in the day if you called ahead and they said yes, when you showed up magically it would not be there.

I once had a guy tell me in response to my question as to why it was listed in stock online but when I showed up it was not in stock was.. "well that would mean we would have to keep our inventory updated w/ the database!"
Yeah no shit cock face, you actually have to do work instead of sleeping at the register or trying to flirt w/ fat chicks.

Wikipedia was useless

Of course I would.  Anything else is flat out stealing.  But given how many of these douchebags here steal games all the time I'm not surprised they would vote no.   The truth is I've caught the bank fucking up multiple times and trying to take my money via some incompetence and fuck ups.  This one dude all dressed up in a tie and such fucked up a transaction, I had to go above him to get it solved.. they lost like $10,000 of mine because this dickhead did not properly file the transaction.   Luckily it was such an obvious fuck up they bank was able to clear it up right away.
