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.
i liked your review of SSBM 
ive played it with my friends and after a while we get so fed up we play mario kart which ultimatly leads us to braving the outside world to find entertainment XDD
and thanks for fixing the punctuation and spellings yahtzee, they were niggling at my knees

Nah, this place is the far reaches of the Escapist. The Yahtzee forums: Here there be trolls.Easykill said:
This website is so much better when everyone who plays up to get banned. It's a nice and shiney place. If you have a major problem with rules, take it to Gaia or 4chan. Thankyou.
I would like to see a nother "Mail Bag" shows, but I guess we just have to wate for him to slam a nother game we all love to death. For me that would be any Harry Potter game...
Also when he was called a profesonal troll i couldnt help my self and made this
yes Paint dose suck but hey still you know what im going for

You got way the hell off topic here.
After telling us that you would answer some of the hate mail you've gathered since SSBB, then went on to tell us about how everything on the internet is shit, and finally ended with yet another console rundown.
Try to keep your rage at anything that isn't the topic-along with your fetish for console rundowns-to a dull roar, please?

I realise this an old review but I can never pass up the opportunity to give my own 2 cents.
now I like SSBB but HANG ON! I'm afraid my oppinion is extremely biased since I do not OWN the game (and considering the price tag probably won't for some time still) But My days playing brawl was after my class at college with at lest 6 of the guys in my class and a nice audience. I admit that I'm utterly rubbish at the game but I didn't care since I just had fun playing a game with my friends using our in-class projector to give us a wall-sized screen and turning the volume way up. So I have no idea if Brawl is in fact a "good game" or not, I certainly enjoy playing it but when I finish my course (which is SCARILY coming close to an end) I doubt I'll play it again really unless I ever go to a friend's house and they want to.
I THINK i enjoy Brawl... but I think it's more for the environment I associate with it. I'm still not prepared to pay through the nose for it though.
As for the review itself, as always it made me giggle and I commend you for giving an objective Review (as always) so even if I wasn't as "entertained" as I usually am by your reviews I don't think I can really say "oh you just suck" or "Oh you just didn't play it enough" or even better "You just don't understaaaaand" since you didn't do anything DIFFERENT so I have no idea why people got their knickers in a twist over the whole thing.
I like your reviews, despite not having enough cash to play even HALF the games you've reviewed on a student's salary, and let's just be honest, some-one who makes people physically injure themselves for not playing Psychonauts is alright in my book. That game needs more recognition, I don't care how old it is.
So uhm.... kudos for speaking your mind I guess.. ..total yammering waste of your time this comment was really... ha ha.. 8D
