The worst reviews of all time

He called that Ollie guy a misogynist, unless you are him (probably)

Cacophanus = Ollie Barder (a happily married man)

It can also mean a hater or skeptic of anything, not just women

Interesting, I have never seen/heard it used in such a way. In any case, I am being accused of woman hating here (as has been clarified in a PM on a column I wrote).

[super_quincy]

Hmm"PM" Lets just keep it that way eh? and not bother these fine folk with our troubles.

Nice Valkyrie collection though!

LOL ! thanks Dude you have taste !! The collection is quite a bit bigger now, what with the 1/48`s , the Ostrich and the Elintseeker

I have loads of Valkyries too, but my significant other doesn't want me taking pictures of them ("I don't want people online seeing our house!"). The 1/48 VF-1 toys are outstanding though!

[super_quincy]

This is getting wierd !

I`m still more of a fan of the older 1/60s but I`m guessing thats more because of my lack of space for 1/48s (do they seem a bit plasticy to you)

Cant wait for the 1/60 GBP full armour. I`ve promised my other half that its the last one I`m gonna buy

For a while anyway.......

You can see I`m sobering up as this goes on , can`t you?

I love the older Takatoku toys, because they are beefier and have cooler boxes (the later Bandai ones have really good boxart too), but the proportions were always way off. At least the newer ones, that are a tad fragile, do look the part.

I even met Kawamori once, an amazing man.

Yeah the Bandai`s are faves of mine, relics from my childhood. Still looked on fondly, still treasured

Since when did this thread turn into bloody mech discussion?

[Jumble Jumble]

How the fuck do we get from "worst reviews ever" to "I love the older Takatoku toys, because they are beefier and have cooler boxes (the later Bandai ones have really good boxart too), but the proportions were always way off. At least the newer ones, that are a tad fragile, do look the part" in a couple of bloody pages?

.::: Why on earth are we debating mecha?

AGAIN?

[super_quincy]

Sorry guys........ I guess me and Caco will have to continue this else where !!

I don't know if anyone else has seen this, but in this months FHM there's a review of Ninja Gaiden.

One star.

The reviewer couldn't get past the first boss and turned it off in disgust.

mind you i read another review which said that there was a boss 30 minutes into the game that most people would not be able to get past without an extreme amount of frustation which went on to give the game 9/10 - how stupid is that?

[Mr Spew]

Let's keep it on topic, please.

[Alex W.]

I was just watching in an amused manner. I guess I should've threatened to lock the topic or something.

If Kawamori asked you to suck his dick, would you?

I only ask because, if Mitsuda was a woman, I'd (probably) tongue (her) clit if (she) asked.

GamesTM's Serious Sam one in the current issue. Couldnt even get the country of origin right. CROteam..Croatia...not too hard is it chaps. Na lets just say US..and dont give me 'US publisher' as an excuse.

Maybe Croteam have people in the US too? IIRC, when they got busted for using unlicenced software with Far Cry, wasn't that in Germany? So if they can have a studio in Germany, why not the US?

Or maybe I'm just completely wrong about Germany. In which case I'll get me coat.

You know, this is the 21st century. You could check for yourself by, say, visiting one of those new-fangled search engines.

We're talking about Croteam, not Crytek.

You can get your coat now.

That's Crytek.

Edit: Beaten to it.

Most deviations in a thread EVAR. Maybe.

First time I've seen it with a "k." It's short for "Mechanical," I thought. But then I don't know my Croteam from my Crytek...

[SeanR]

That's Crytek.

I doubt it will be the last

Maybe I could. But I don't really care enough either way.
