Once you have passed the moderation period (think of it as a test), you will be able to post normally, just like all the other retards.

    To be fair, the majority of their reviews are indeed one-trick ponies, as they harp on often insignificant stuff with constant stream of *fuck* and *faggots* which probably makes them very codexian in nature. On the other hand, they have the most accurate Skyrim review on teh interwebz comprised of truly legitimate criticism. Their unashamed mocking of generic military shooters is also a big plus.

    The worst thing about idiots like this (Many Neogaf Users too for example) is that they actually think they are completly reasonable and justified.

    I mean, what?

    Nothing specific, I've just been fascinated by the general decline of the site for a while. This thread shows a great example. See my post a couple of weeks ago:

    Basically the rules don't specifically discuss that subjects like pedophilia etc are disgusting and no one wants to hear your stupid opinions on how you think the age of consent should be 6 years old.

    If anyone calls out the poster on their retarded views, they get "thumped" (post gets deleted) for violating the "don't be a dick" rule. Unfortunately what that leads to is the most disgusting group of people being given free reign to say the most retarded, misogynistic, racist, homophobic views as long as they are polite about it and no one can report them or call them out on it cause there aren't any specific rules about these topics.

    I briefly posted on TVT years ago, and back then it was PC as fuck. I got banned for criticizing feminism and such. I don't know how it changed so suddenly.

    Edit: Meanwhile on YouTube...

    American Codexers should report Something Awful to the FBI if they think there are paedophilia discussions taking place. Even if they aren't actually committing child rape, the FBI can put them on a watch list for admitting they have sympathies for it.

    Actually that is a bad analogy, because we don't "thump" the opposing "dick" group.

    While by no means attractive, he did manage to upgrade his image from obese man-child to jolly grandfather. For his sake I hope he keeps it. It makes him look more trustworthy and respectable, which I can only imagine is a plus for his company.

    Am I the only one who thinks that he looks like a fat version of Steven Spielberg?

    Now that I think of it, Half Life2 is pretty much the video game equivalent of a Steven Spielberg flick.

    Partyvan is too busy justifying the "donations" they get from MPAA and RIAA to bother with an Internet forum.

    :M

    Someone should nuke that shit hard enough to put it offline for a looong time.
