was trying to hit the golden gate bridge with a tanker in one of the earlier ship simulator versions... had a similar experience... no explosions, no destruction, no superman trying to stop me

i went back to flight sims for terrorist training purposes

Hilarious, you should write more fucking reviews instead of arsing about with post counts!




(can I have my posts back now?)

 

[Jason]

Still waiting on that Restaurant Empire 2 review.

 

[MasterSmithFandango]

Dark Underlord contributing? As I live and breathe.

 

[GarfunkeL]

Oh my, that was a hilarious review.

 

[anus_pounder]

Oh my, that was a hilarious review.

 

[Norfleet]

I love how enthusiastic this review is for what is very clearly a terrible game. The end was the best.

 

[laclongquan]

Its' hilarious and ambiguous as hell. I still cant tell whether it's a backhanded compliment or just plain mockery.

Since it's DU we are talking about, I weigh in on the mockery option.

Yes, very clearly, very terrible...



Also, the "review" is not getting funnier if you read XTERME 5 million times.

"While poking around looking for some space game we were supposed to have (which I was hoping would be a decent open-world, trading, combat, upgrading 4x but would probably end up being the lame-o crap that space games usually are these days instead)"

What's this "4x space game" you were supposed to have?

 

[Trash]

I see the herp derp decline has finally hit TC head on. Let us make fun of quirky niche simulators and lament the abscence of explosions to keep our feeble little minds occupied.

If you have an issue with me mentioning the name of a game in a review about that game, take it up with the creators of the game.

Star Ruler.

 

[MicoSelva]

Awesome.
Sorry - X-TREME.

 

[Phelot]

Can you play as one of those sinking Somali ferries that kill hundreds?

 

[Tycn]

You ought to do more of this shit.

 

[commie]

Yeah DU, this game is getting an expansion. Time to saddle up again!

 

[Severian Silk]

Image links are dead.

 

[Infinitron]

Image links are dead.

No shit, necromancer.

As they are in every single review posted prior to the 2011 gallery upgrade that I haven't personally, painstakingly fixed by hand.

 

[Konjad]

DU is working on them, stay patient.

 

[Shannow]

Why is DU working on it? He has Infinitron to fix it. DU should go back to hookers and blow. Otherwise they'll be out of their jobs.

 

[Gragt]

We should ask John to write more reviews like this one.

 

[kris]

Interesting I missed this before. Probably didn't post anything at all at that time. I do after all work with this shit.
