Zero Punctuation: Mailbag Showdown
- Thread starter Yahtzee Croshaw
- Start date
There is nothing directly wrong with the game, but people just aren't use to playing Dino themed games anymore.
....Why would we take advice from someone who's name is satanrules, and apparently doesn't understand the concept of "freedom of choice"?satanrules said:
Well, I laughed before I played the game. Now I am just crying after having played it. It really is a sad excuse for a game (should have known better having played the GC one) but what are you going to do? Demand that people hate it because you do? No, but you can always point them to a funny review. Thanks Yahtz!
oh, c'mon. Let them have their fun. its not like anyone take the comments section seriosly.
And why are people still posting here?

I admire your willingness to get hit by the Ban-Hammer.
I'm almost tempted to quote just out of fun!!
What, you mean there's no one exploiting the workers and perpetuating the social and economic differences of class through imperialist dogma?ErinHoffman said:
Well that's a shame.
It's increasingly alarming that the morphology of this thread is fueled by the sheer numbers of people with ADHD-like characteristics, but refuse to correct them as it most devloped cultues, Anti-social is in, along with being a chav or a 'wangsta'.
In my opinion, the proposed hierarchy of these forums is an illusion. Sure, the mods can swing the banhammer any time they want, but since we believe this is a rudimentary dictatorship, we refuse to do anything about it.
It's like this. Gamespot = Anarchy. Sweet and simple. The Escapist = Singapore.
Did anyone get that analogy? I'm not sure, as many people refuse to pay attention to anything that matters these days.
We are somewhat of an Autonomous Collective, as the moderators did have to join here first, if history (or wikipediar) is to be believed. Metaphorically, we are being exploited by them, and the forums are actually a dystopian state, with a seemingly pristine facade, interrupted by those who feel they should showcase their stupidity or those who mean to speak up, followed by a swift and satisfying *thunk*.
If somehow we were able to govern ourselves here, maintaining order and cleanliness without corruption, great, but utopias are impossible. All forms of Marxism and the USSR proved this.
Wingcommander up there may have had better luck if he didn't quote the quote pyramid up, but we'll never find out.

Ah, that brings a joyful tear to the eye, it does. Maybe filing a decent complaint rather than doing the exact thing people are getting into trouble for would serve you better. It'd be like me protesting speeding tickets by speeding as much as possible, which would be pretty thick, wouldn't it. But then again, your apparent idea of fun is spamming a thread full of increasing concentric squares purely for the sake of doing so. No, I'll support the mods on this one, and not least because I'm probably going to get into trouble at some point for being a bitter, bitter man.Righteous Justice said:
I enjoyed the 'review' heartily, but I find the bland, cringing servitude of Yahtzee's supporters almost as irritating as the fanboyish whining. "Zing! You sure showed them! My, they shan't stop feeling the sting from that one and no less! May I suck parts of you now?"
No, I feel a mutual respect is in order and I reckon the chap would appreciate a decent critical review rather than loads of very similar unimaginative replies of "Yeah! That was really really REALLY good!" or "I laughed at the bit where you swore loudly out of nowhere" and such. Or maybe it's just me. Fanboys are an easy target anyway. He should start having a go at well informed criticism instead, or a critique on those bloody smug mediocre women gamers who think they're great because they get attention from a historically sex starved demographic of males. That'd be a challenge for the bugger.
He most likely didn't do the mailbag for time, he probubly did it for the time constrants AND so that annoying fanboys can stop sending emails and posting for him saying his opinion. His reviews are not really reviews, more like his opinons (sorry for the repitition of "Opinion"), so if you don't agree great for you! But I and everyone else don't really care.
