TychoCelchuuu Posted April 6, 2014 Hey wait a sec I just checked my sent mail list and I emailed Danielle about being featured as a Subjective Reviewer of the Month a couple weeks ago, and she hasn't gotten back to me. Did she mention that on the podcast? Because of the four people I emailed she's the only one who hasn't responded. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bkbroiler Posted April 6, 2014 There was talk on the podcast about how some people seem to want objective game reviews, and Danielle mentioned "hey there's this website..." and Chris proudly goes "That guy is on the Idle Thumbs forums!" I don't think they mentioned anything else about emails or nuttin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gormongous Posted April 6, 2014 There was talk on the podcast about how some people seem to want objective game reviews, and Danielle mentioned "hey there's this website..." and Chris proudly goes "That guy is on the Idle Thumbs forums!" I don't think they mentioned anything else about emails or nuttin. Actually, we can blame Danielle, because she actually says, "There's now a satirical game review site that does that." With respect to the BioShock Infinite review, the site has been dubbed "Objectively a pile of objectively pretentious bullshit that objectively conscientiously avoids mentioning any of the stuff that people objectively enjoyed the most about this objective game. Objectively speaking." over at the illustrious "Forumopolis." Is it wrong that my main reason for dismissing this post is the use of two consecutive "-ly" adverbs? What style guide is that, man?

TychoCelchuuu Posted April 6, 2014 Actually, we can blame Danielle, because she actually says, "There's now a satirical game review site that does that."Oh, well, it's fine if other people say it's satirical in that they're making the claim based on what they've read. The issue is going around saying "a guy from the Idle Thumbs forum started it as a joke," because that moves past "I think it's a joke" and straight up says "it's a joke." If one person says "I think it's satirical" and then another person says "that came from the Idle Thumbs forum" that's totally fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

syntheticgerbil Posted April 7, 2014 I think people will forget in a few months anyone said it was a joke and start reading the site for what it is again. The press and their cycles man! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ben X Posted May 3, 2014 Good stuff! That tumblr link to an article about slapstick humour leads to a dead end though, it probably is meant to be this. [EDIT: actually, no, the "read more" link on that page leads to the same dead end] Was Aevee unable to do an objective review? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
