I waited in line at PAX East to try this out and felt a little underwhelmed. Maybe I should give it a second chance and download the Xbox 360 demo?"
I stopped playing Dark Souls the moment Arkham City came out, but now that I'm pretty much finished with it, I'll probably give Dark Souls another shot despite its frustration. At least, until Skyrim...."
I'm actually totally ambivalent about the possibility of a movie for a video game that hasn't been released yet. Let's see how good the game is first before talking film rights!"
While the original PA comic strip didn't really offend me, I find the actions of some of the people involved since then to be a bit nauseating. The people who have been harrassing Kirbybits are just proving another one of PA's comics correct - the Internet F#&%wad Theory.
The whole deal with the t-shirts is incredibly trollish and insensitive as well, but I actually don't mind if people show up to PAX East wearing them. I say take it as a sign...of who to avoid contact with."
And, yes, as a fellow writer, I do think the review was poorly written and sounded like something you'd hear read to you in English class in high school. I think writers are entitled to their opinions like everyone else, as long as they do it professionally, constructively and without malice.
As for Jim Sterling, I'm on the fence. He's kind of like the shock jock version of a games writer and his sense of humor isn't always to my taste, but I respect his honesty in reviews and his willingness to voice opinions that he knows are unpopular (i.e. his Final Fantasy XVIII review)."
