Reminds me of how Leonard Nimoy wrote a book called "I am Not Spock", then he wrote another one called "I am Spock".

There should have been one in the middle called "Maybe I'm Spock..."

It's just a prank. And according to my own personal version of the Turin Test, a prank perpetrated by a very young child. Yes, yes, I know. Still, I just find it hilarious the way we blow people's minds. We've only been making fun of the shitty state of game journalism for years, and years, and years, and years. We seriously are the most jaded group of motherfuckers on the entire internet. And I mean that in the most positive way I possibly can.

I wouldn't have it any other way.
I mean, seriously, I wouldn't. I could be like the other 99% of the internet, put my fingers in my ears and say "LA LA LA LA I'M NOT LISTENING!" and still put out bullshit like this every week. As it is, I really don't think I'm a good reviewer even now. Just a competent one. But you can't even reach this level of competence if you don't pay any attention to the types of things we've discussed over the past few years. (I need to put an anchor in AT5 that goes straight to the Honen vs. Honen scene...)

Not sure entirely what this is all about, but if we're just posting links to things that make fun of idiots...
I know it was technically already included in Sethra's post, but Crawl's "Raiders of the Lost Ark reviewed by a Gamer" deserves special mention. I may be biased, but I have a special fondness for this, too. The Omni-Wonder
of the Universe has spoken

I think I'm lovably innocent and naive.

I mentioned this before, but when I originally wrote that sketch, I didn't have the part about Greg Kasavin in there. I felt that the prayer parody needed
one more scene to flesh it out a little, but I couldn't think of anything good. Instead of uploading the sketch, I decided to sit on it for a day and the
next day at work (when I was still at my old job) that idea came to me after reading some of Facilitypro's posts on my lunch break.
I started laughing as I typed up the idea in Notepad and I couldn't stop laughing for the rest of the day. No wonder those people there thought I was crazy. |

James FP wrote: Cynical? Yes. Horrible? Maybe. But depraved? No, I don't think so. The point of AT6 isn't that Honen's become a more depraved person. It's just that he's been around long enough to have learned some things and he's more mature, willing to listen and understand now. If anything, the oldschool Honen is the more depraved individual, as he's willing to kill anything that disagrees with him, even one of his own kind. Callous might be a better word to describe us instead, but it took many years of dealing with the neverending stupidity to form that callous. Junus is reminded of Mr. Spock. I'm always reminded of that, "You made me", "You made me first" conversation in the first Tim Burton Batman movie. I'm also beginning to wonder if we're influencing other people, too... |

As it is, I really don't think I'm a good reviewer even now. Just a competent one. You're way better than competent.
"The Most Jaded Group of Internet Motherfuckers" needs to be added to the list of possible Port Saiid Slogans. Or maybe it could be a DHN slogan. Another one could be, "You're not in Kansas anymore, Toto." |

D is one of my better reviews, but it still rambles a bit too much. And after I finished that Raiders of the Lost Ark 2600 review, I wondered if I really got across what the game is like... If I didn't already know from playing the game, I'm not sure my review would tell me... Another one could be, "You're not in Kansas anymore, Toto."Ha ha ha ha ha!! |

Oh man... I just spent the last half hour reading through this entire topic. You guys shot that n00b down so badly, I had to wipe tears.
(I need to put an anchor in AT5 that goes straight to the Honen vs. Honen scene...)You just need to finish the goddamn storyline, kid. ----- There is no spoon! |

The story itself is finished. I just need to complete the drawings. I'm not promising anything, but it's supposed to rain all weekend. Aside from
the time needed to do chores, I'll probably work on the "Chance is Real" sketch, TRY to get it done, and then go back to AT6.
