Sigh. If you've never heard of the kid above, he still drives that car in the background around the house too. Probably. Maybe. I dunno. He's five years older than your typical Halo player.
This came up in discussion somewhere else yesterday, and my disdain for Halo aside, I'm not going to rip it exclusively, though it is part of the problem.
Have you SEEN any of these user driven Best Games Of All Time lists? The ones generated by website operators tend to be relatively rational, but ones that anyone with a computer can vote, holy shit.
Find me one that the top three games ever made aren't Halo 3, Gears of War 2, and GTA 4. A bunch of 12 year olds with bad parents get a 360, get a game or two, and boom, that is the best game ever made, period. It's fucking outrageous.
"Fanboys" too, fuck the lot of you. Even if you like something I do. Halo Reach on GameSpot had about two dozen 10.0 "Perfect" ratings from users before the fucking game was released. Killzone 2 for PS3 was THE 360 KILLER and what a bunch of angsty children that needed to defend their console choice rallied behind, again, calling perfect before it was even released.
By the way, if you think I'm exaggerating this shit, I've talked to these kids before. I played Gears Of War (it sucks) and got to talking about Doom with some 12 year old. He thought it was a movie. As in, a movie and nothing else.
I DO NOT LIKE DEBATES THAT BOTH SIDES ARE RETARDED KIDDIES.
I don't really have a lot more to say on this one at the risk of alienating readers that don't give a fuck about video games, but honestly. This is why voters for the Baseball Hall Of Fame need to cover baseball in the media for quite a long time before being given a vote. The idea is so they get a good sampling of what the sport has to offer, as opposed to watching their first baseball game and going OMG EVERY SINGLE PLAYER ON THE FIELD IS LIKE THE BEST PLAYER EVER LOLOLOLOL.
A little more about fanboys first, though. Take a look at these fucking neckbeards.
HNEEEEEHHHHH DON'T TALK SHIT ABOUT A VIDEO GAME I LIKE, I'LL BEAT YOU UP IN IT. You can almost feel the stale Fritos falling out of rolls of this guys head fat, eyes wide with terror that somebody doesn't think Super Smash Brothers games are God's gift to dorks. HOLD ON MOM, I CAN'T GO TO BED YET, SOMEBODY ON THE INTERNET IS DISAGREEING WITH ME!
You all gotta take a fucking step back, here. Your precious little game will still be everything you like about it without getting spammed to #1 All-Time on some meaningless list, and it'll still be the same thing if somebody online doesn't like it too.
ALSO IF ANY OF YOU SAY SOMETHING BAD ABOUT BLACK OPS I WILL FIND OUT WHERE YOU LIVE AND CUT YOUR BRAKES
