Now that you reminded me of that webcomic I went back and read some, and first now I understand what he meant about the woman mysteriously becoming girlfriend while all he does is stare at her beasts. That was truly a pretty crappy part of ctrl alt, will take a look at the later strips to see if ti has improved.And Sat, I think you are taking it way too serious.
I agree with that also...Buckley seems to shift away from spoofing video game news into more of a personal story. I'd rather have him stick to video games than social issues.
He said what everyone was afraid to say or believe about Grand Theft Auto 4, and ended up saying anyway.
Same with Metal Gear 4, and that is that once the hype dies down, so does ones rating of the game.
I think he's very good, he hasn't ever claimed to be an expert reviewer. He's obviously an older, PC gaming elitist who still tries his best to branch out, and finds what he discovers to his dislike. I don't think he believes he's anything he's not.

He's funny. But you have a couple decent points. It's clear he likes certain types of games and despises others. So it could be a great game (Mass Effect, for example) and he could give it a crappy review because he's clearly not an RPG'er. A lot of the stuff he was railing against were cool to me (and others, apparently).But that's his job. Give scathing reviews of popular titles and be funny. I wouldn't necessarily trust his opinion all the time, but that doesn't mean I won't listen to him.
What about those who like RPGs and hate Mass Effect? 😛

I don't even find him funny, and think his reviews suck, so he can die.
Lemme guess, he gave a bad review to a game you like.

He's intentionally an *******, which is what makes him funny to listen to. He ultimately gets his opinions across, and often lets us know in some way that he likes the game or not, but it doesn't stop him from making scathing jokes about it like the ******* he's supposed to be.
Although all his points stem from truth in some regard.

He said it because he knew it would make him popular, not because its honestly how he feels.. its pretty obvious when people "go against the conformists" 🙂
Not really most of his points are genuine, GTAIV is a boring game after you get past the sandbox, it's repetitive like other GTA's compered to it's earlier games which used to have wacky missions that were fun.
While i don't agree with all points most of them stem from a truth.
