Yep, really badly want to punch him in the face.
The reason would be Treasure’s Bangai-O Spirits, a game so perfect and so deep that when it comes right down to the wire, I’d probably rather be sealed in a sensory deprivation tank playing it against my best friend for millenia than working, vacationing in the Bahamas, or even having pseudo-violent sex. That’s the sign of a good game, right there — if you’d willingly give up an opportunity to let a girl live out her fantasy to rape a man just so that you could deflect projectiles for a couple more hours. I get this feeling, playing this game — if I keep deflecting projectiles, eventually I’ll be so good at deflecting projectiles that I won’t even need to close my eyes or tense my knees to ejaculate. I will simply be. I will flow.
Oh god stop that.
edit: Great, now my day is ruined. Thanks Tim.
edit edit: Oh, the world "flow" is italicized in the original article. Somehow makes everything SO MUCH WORSE.
you like him don't you.
I enjoy reading his reviews, yes. My videogame tastes are more on Par with his than most Video Game journalists I can find (minus RPG love), and he does not settle for nearly as much generic slop like a lot of reviewers.
As silly as he gets in his reviews, he is pretty damn genuine about the games he promotes. He has been raving about Spartan since it first came out. Its more refreshing to see that on a list rather than 3 Zelda games, a batch of Marios, and 3 Final Fantasys.
Plus, I can trust a games journalist that listens to Noise music more than I can trust one who does not.
Not sure I could hang out with the guy though.
