    And if the Password Recovery doesn't work (there was an error transitioning accounts during the upgrade), use the "contact us" link right down the bottom right of the forums and harass us about it. Include your account name and its e-mail address (or whatever parts of it you remember).

Until your account has "passed" your posts will only be visible to yourself (and moderators) until they are approved. Give us a week to get around to approving / deleting / ignoring your mundane opinion on crap before hassling us about it. 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.

    Alec Meer's been playing it for a bit now and presents his review on Rock Paper Shotgun. He seems to have enjoyed himself quite a bit.

    He was downright apologetic in his tone for the demo, something seems dodgy as fuck with rps and this game.

    RPS liking and praising a shitty game (gotta be friendly to those publishers paying for your ads on your site). Will wonders never cease.

    Generally I love RPS but they seem to have gotten way too involved and probably close with this game and its developers. Dunno.

    What does that even mean? Looks to me it translates to "gets a sloppy blowjob from RPS"

    I mean, is this the RPS treatment:

    IIRC from Brother None(?), he vaguly hinted at that when sites have publisher ads, they sign an agreement that they post "generally favorable" reviews on a site.

    RPS stands for Retarded Piece o'Shit

    Nothing is better for credibilty than massive game ads (whole site is one giant ad, basically) then write an 11/10 review about that game.

    It's a typo. He meant in pieces. Expect lots of dlc.

    The problem with the gaming review industry is that publishers have their cocks shoved down these so-called "reviewers'" throats, and that the majority of 'reviewers' aren't critics, something which is necessary for anyone filling a spot as a reviewer for any medium.

    Wow you guys are so fucking edgy. Fuck the man, and these corporate shill game journos sucking off these focus tested AAA titles. Hold on I just need to throw thousands of dollars at these developers who promise to make old school retro games that appease our nostalgic wet dreams.

    Stopped reading there. Given the Shakira joke and question #1 and its answer, I figured this would be filled with lame attempts at humor and blatant weaseling out.
