Seriously, how can soimeone be confused by M&M lore?
By playing a million other RPGs in between each one.

I want a game based on a dream I had, as I have dreams that make Mario 2 look like Inception:
I was in a world where rocks were living things that assisted policemen. Everything was in strange, bright colors. This world's most popular sport was to take bears that could turn into racoons, put them on rafts until the vibration caused them to change and then shoot them. It was a spectator sport with some danger, as if the raft ran aground, the bear got loose.It was even weirder than it sounds.
I dunno, I think it would make a great game.Look at that game he proposed, Downfall
They obsessi over the mechanics but forget the heart
It has actually some fairly good systems, very unique. Remember playing it in 1999.Guess who likes Knights of Xentar?

This gives us a subtotal of 42, a reasonably high score, from which I am going to subtract another 2 points for the horrendous pacing at the end. Forcing the player to sit through that much dialogue, one line at a time, plus such a meaningless final combat, is essentially unforgivable. But even the final score of 40 puts it in the top 25% of ranked games so far. If it had offered any serious role-playing, it could have cracked the top 10%.
This guy is an arrogant, Narcissistic asshole with no imagination who runs his website exactly like such a man. He thinks that by playing one type of game over and over again he can avoid all conflict because he is a coward and a snob.
He refuses to accept anything outside of his comfort zone: Nothing but C.R.P.G.s because those are what he plays well-of course, half the fun of video games is developing your skills and overcoming challenges and most of the other half is finding new and creative works to inspire your imagination, but that would require imagination and effort. He refuses to accept cursing, except that he uses the word "ass" a lot as a hypocrite, and whenever you point out that games like Wizardry, Realms of Arkania and Might and Magic are dull and repetitive he will respond with passive-aggressive derision.
Look at that game he proposed, Downfall: It has no heart or imagination. He only described the gameplay, not the world, the characters, the technologies or the enemies. I asked him to go into more depth and he gave an evasive answer that basically admitted he had no ideas beyond that skeleton. This is a problem with a lot of C.R.P.G.s: They obsessi over the mechanics but forget the heart.
Every little review is full of mistakes and non sequitir opinions that say otherwise. So I will believe he actually does all that only if I see a realtime video of him slogging through the entire thing.

Shockingly enough, if you play a whole bunch of games, they all become a morass to you and you find it difficult to remember details about them, especially if you don't get enough sleep (which I believe he has). Somebody seems awfully upset about his post about supporting Clinton, since he hasn't made any personal opinions clear other than that.
eschewed RPGs entirely and started making posts about Street Fighter 2 Turbo instead
No cRPG addict isn't lying (Cosmic Bane, you sound like a prime piece of retard, what's up with that), but he also doesn't sound like someone who is enjoying what he is doing and he makes a lot of games sound worse due to this "style" of his
there is no amount of CRPGs that can be played that can counter the fact that he loves Oblivion and Skyrim and FO3 and he's called Skyrim the ideal RPG.
it's like electing a senator who is a child-molester. there's just no getting around the bad parts.
