Rolling to put out flames is as intuitive as standing on an elevator barrel and holding down.
In a game that doesn't actually tell you can do that. Face it if you were going to go for the moronic Brad sucks at games meme you should have been patient and pointed out that he was the collector as he was saying,"Gee I wish I was the collector."

Clock right, twice a day. Etc. You cannot argue the absolute sheer drop off between the McElroy content in MBMBAM vs. ANYTHING on polygon. It's stark and confusing.

Considering Polygon objectionable except when they're doing something non objectionable is hardly a double standard.

Jeremy Parish gave it 4 stars, so it's probably alright if you like that sort of game. Philip Kollar is one of the most boring internet personalities out there. At both 1up and Game Informer he dragged down every conversation he was a part of.

Sorry, I'm going to argue that. Justin McElroy is awful at everything he does, and whenever someone posts something from MBMBAM it's 5 minutes of annoying people laughing at their own jokes.

Gamespot gave it 5/10 too, but I trust Kevin VanOrd a lot more than anyone on Polygon.

Not that it matters because I'm going to play it anyway (I like 13-2 a lot more than most people).

It's crazy how fast he got good at that game, but I hope he keeps it up with other rogue likes, having a daily stream like that to watch has been pretty nice for early mornings too. Even though I never had a problem with Patrick I think he got a lot more enjoyable with his stuff from Chicago, he really has a ton of enthusiasm for what he does.

Complains that core story concepts are explained in dialogue instead of a codex.
Complains that he had to go and do stuff instead of grinding for levels.
Complains that he walked all the way across the planet instead of using the fast travel system because it consumes (renewable and totally abundant) resources.

Bad game. Eleven out of Twenty.

You can feel bad about drone strikes in Afghanistan and also feel bad about a Vietnamese dude or whoever created that iOS game getting death threats.

It's a tough article to write for a videogames website if only due to the scale of the problem it's attempting to address. People getting abused online isn't limited to just videogames, it's absolutely everywhere. Athletes, celebrities and teens who are on the wrong social side of the week are utterly torn apart. It's hosed up and it's gross, but it's also not news at this point in time. The issue comes when you try and form some sort of response to the problem and that's why the article feels so similar to so many others. Stating that "A combination of legal, technological, and societal changes are needed to make the Internet a safer place, especially for critical, dissenting voices" is just about as useful as saying "Somebody do something!". The call to speak up for victims of harassment is a noble one but if you spent your entire day doing just that would you really make any impact against such a huge number of poo poo talkers? The article comes from a good place, but it's another broad summary of how things are hosed up online followed by a cry for people to be nice.
