Yeah! Burnout Takedown is one the best, though I prefer The Revenge.
Yeah this is my take on ABF as well. He's the kind of guy who I wouldn't have had any problems with if he didn't constantly treat everything he said as fact when in reality it wasn't. He did have some decent knowledge on some things but he's also way too damn arrogant in his opinions. He was one of those guys just like Team Andromeda who in his case shits on Nintendo left and right that people stopped taking him seriously. He owns a Switch but can't wrap it around his head that other people enjoy the system and games and tries to constantly beat his opinion into people's heads over & over.
There was one guy who mouthed off to Melf so hard I figured he'd get banned named Prince Tamulit or some shit when he was actually trying to cite bullshit about History and Sega and even after Melf backed up what he said with facts, the guy still wouldn't shut the fuck up...
Edit: Found the thread in question...

It all started over him and TA not getting the point in comparison that the Sega Master System's presence was small in the U.S. compared to how Nintendo was dominating the market.
