    You know it is a great game when this is the biggest complaint he has!

    Jimquisition: Joy Begets Anger

    He was the one who got hung up on the food thing. I simply pointed out that it would be silly to go through life enraged at everything you did not enjoy. Also, I have trouble notion of an objective review. How do you know what is taste and what is structural? I hate opera. This is because I...

    Jimquisition: Joy Begets Anger

    Except, if it was only the food you didn't like, you wouldn't complain. Anyone who said, in a complaint, "The Lamb and Lentil soup was terrible because I did not like the cilantro" would be considered a complete idiot; you not liking the taste of the dish does not make it a bad dish. I hate...

    Jimquisition: Joy Begets Anger

    I'm not trying to pick on you here but this is pretty much a widespread issue. Why do people believe that they are somehow owed a good experience? I get that games are expensive but the reaction of anger can only come from a belief that you somehow deserve to not be exposed to something you...

    Jimquisition: Joy Begets Anger

    As others have pointed out, it is silly to assume that what was in the box was a turd. I loved Dragon Age 2... I did two play-throughs in a fricken row. Are you saying I like crap? Or maybe tastes differ and what tastes like candy to me tastes like turd to you. Because, obviously you cannot...

    The Erin Stout School of Problem Solving

    I don't think it is a reference... Erin just tends to overdo things.

    I picture those being silver bullets. Just in case.

    The Big Picture: Tropes vs. MovieBob

    I had a feeling you were going to address this. Well said... this really cannot be expressed enough.

    The Big Picture: Not Okay

    I love you, Movie Bob! I have not really commented on anything in a while but this forced me to come back and say what a great job you do in general, even when I disagree with your premise. (in this case, I do not)

    Games That Time Forgot

    I just want to say that, aside from Rogue and a few text adventures, Protostar was the first real PC game I ever played. I...fucking...loved that game.

    A Male on Females on Female Characters

    I think you have a point here in that diversity is meaningless if it is just a bunch of stereotypes used to fill a diversity checklist. When they do try to include diversity they get punished for it not because demanding diversity are secretly hypocrites but because it is often done so very...
