    The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds Review

    I wish I could get beyond the visuals... I love Link to the Past. Thanks for the review Jim! I'm trying to come back the The Escapist because I'm a huge fan of you, but it's difficult :(

    BioWare "Falsely Advertised" Mass Effect 3

    I wasn't aware that anyone was suing for false advertising. I would love to see any source at all you have on this. This story certainly isn't about a lawsuit against them for false advertising. Also I didn't equate anything to criticism, I was merely talking about criticism. Please highlight...

    Poll: Are gamers today too self entitiled?

    No gamers are not too entitled. The whole entitlement thing is just a media spin job in attempt to crush criticism. If you are a consumer and you dislike something about a product why the hell should you not say something? Does anything ever improve without criticism? If everything someone...

    BioWare "Falsely Advertised" Mass Effect 3

    It's pretty cool how corporations have convinced everyone that asking for what you want to spend your money on as a customer is 'whining' or something derogatory. I mean it's really convenient for them to be able to just do whatever they want, and if people don't like it they get told they...

    Internet Petition Demands Dark Souls Drop GFWL

    A corporation is not your friend. A corporation doesn't get hurt when you don't enjoy the things they create. When you go into a restaurant if you order food and you legit don't like that food and have a decent enough reason they go out of their way to make it right. Your analogy fails...

    Jimquisition: Cutscenes Aren't A Failure State

    There ain't no party like a Jim Sterling party! [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-X0EjwF8o0g] You were right on the money as almost always Jim. :)

    Everyone has a valid opinion/taste? Don't make me laugh

    You either didn't fully read what I said, or didn't understand it, or I failed to properly convey what I meant. If someone was a genius and I could tell they were of course I would consider their opinion more highly, I never said it was an absolute. In fact I went out of my way to say it's not...

    Everyone has a valid opinion/taste? Don't make me laugh

    What a compelling argument, I can see why you act so condescending when you clearly are more intelligent and better at conveying points and understanding to other people, and take the time to actually listen to others and evaluate what they are saying instead of dismissing it offhand. I...

    Everyone has a valid opinion/taste? Don't make me laugh

    Its a free forum, I'm by no means stopping you from posting your rant. If you want it to get more attention you could try starting your own thread. :)

    Everyone has a valid opinion/taste? Don't make me laugh

    That's not what I said. I said that if I said it was my FAVOURITE place, not a GOOD place. No bearing? None at all? So someone who fully understands something in your mind is just as likely to be right as someone who knows nothing about it? Are you just being difficult on purpose...

    Everyone has a valid opinion/taste? Don't make me laugh

    You don't think opinions have accuracy? So if I say that my favourite place to play tennis is New York, even though I've never played tennis nor been to New York, that opinion is not inaccurate or invalid? If I say that my favourite place to eat Thai food is Thai Express, and that's the only...

    Everyone has a valid opinion/taste? Don't make me laugh

    I've discovered plenty of things that I find to be fantastic through friends and other people who have more experience with those things. Have you really never heard of a band you love through someone else or something similar? I kinda find that hard to believe. I 100% agree with you. Even...

    Everyone has a valid opinion/taste? Don't make me laugh

    You're projecting again. My plan wasn't to take any high ground, rather to attempt to foster some understanding between us. I find it's easier to understand someone when you're on the same level :) Not exactly, but close enough I guess. If someone hasn't experienced something then their...

    Everyone has a valid opinion/taste? Don't make me laugh

    All your post is doing is projecting. You seem to be angry at someone or people who act or have acted in this way in your life, and now instead of attempting to understand me you have plastered me with that classification in order to help you personally cope and move on with your life. Or...

    Everyone has a valid opinion/taste? Don't make me laugh

    The point is this, without a point of reference on which to base your judgements of the quality of a steak, your opinion of that steak is less valid. While your first steak may seem amazing to you, it may or may not be the best steak out there, and to claim as such would be an invalid claim...
