I hope to God my Sarcasmograph is just broken and he's not being series or else he's a fucktard.
EDIT: I get it, he's being sarcastic! You can stop quoting me now. It's not my fault there are fuckwits who are actually like this making it difficult to differentiate between sarcasm and truth.

Well I don't care what he thinks. If this was your opinion I might have read it, but as it isn't, I'll just ask why you thought we needed to know this.
Edit:Oh I see. It's supposed to be funny,...
Har har.

Oh look, faux-hipster-irony. Cliché-ridden, done-to-death hack work that exists only for the hey-look-at-me mental masturbation of its author and contributing more spew onto the "hey, let's make fun of people who make fun of stuff that's popular!" meme.
F Minus Minus, David Hill. I've seen keener funny bones on the person of network executives who greenlight stuff like "Shit My Dad Says" to be sitcoms.

Ah, poorly disguised satire. It makes my stomach churn to see that finest of humors abused in such a way; at least he could've been subtle in his critique of the modern day games industry. 'Tis a shame, 'tis a shame, and an even greater shame still that so few of our ostensibly intellectual community can understand the meaning of this particular piece; I imagine that if they were perchance presented with "A Modest Proposal" then a rash of infant slashings would spring up about the land like so many satirically disabled weeds. Rest in peace, ye holiest of wordy muses, and know that your legacy goes to ground with you.
Truly, how can it be that such a large group of people, each of who are supposedly possessed of excessive cleverness and wisdom, miss this man's point in such a stupendous fashion? Do they not see that he is mocking the furor with which modern-day artists pursue graphical perfection? Are they truly blind to his blatant statement about the oversexualization and gratuitous violence present in many modern-day titles? How can they miss his lament of times gone by, when games were for one and all, and anyone could happily join in? Why, oh why, are these numerous professed geniuses ignorant of his disdain for taxing game engines and absurd system requirements, or the way he out-and-out says that he is joking? Has the ego of the great Escapist community at last swallowed its brain? Truly, I am ashamed to think that the community I was once proud to be part of has succumbed to the devils of hubris and misguided nostalgia, and that the deviants and trolls may be the wisest of us.
Escapist, I am dissappoint. Very disappoint indeed.
On an unrelated note, I seriously didn't think much of Pac-man.

God damn, lots of arch idiocy in this thread. Funny sarcasm, thinly veiled as ignorant rambling of a misinformed teenager. Doesn't aspire to be some great work of comedy or a serious treatise of Pac-Man's irrelevance. First half of the group, lighten the fuck up. Second half, go work on your reading comprehension. Thanks for posting, I got a good laugh.
And the subtitle only further demonstrates that he's writing for the sake of writing. This type of piece has been done to death. Maybe asshole hipsters who find anvilicious attempts at irony funny might laugh, but that's barely a step up from laughing at Beavis and Butt-head. (mind you, I think B&BH are hilarious, but they don't pretend to be anything other than stupid.)machineiv said:
