I haven't played the game yet, but it's nice to post relevant reviews.
Threads in the reviews forums must contain reviews and not just be links. Thank you.

Ah,
F:tA, a reminder of the great debt
Pundejo owes the OSR for doing the heavy lifting, allowing him to cut-and-paste his way from crappy, irrelevant 'game designer' to mediocre jock-sniffing 'game designer.'
He lost me as soon as he implied being a "grognard" is a bad thing.
Really, where are all these reviews from stupid little pissants with a hate-boner for Pundy coming from?

Dsivis seems to be the one dredging them up... so it seems there's some sort of agenda there, if only to stir things up an get people talking... so maybe Dsivis is The Pundit in disguise?

Ah. Dawn breaks on Marble Head.
If you're dead-set on not engaging with a game's basic premise (e.g. dismissing a fantasy heartbreaker as "groggy bullshit"), I don't think reviewing it will add anything to the hobby. Granted, I'm not much of a reviewer (I have maybe a dozen reviews to my name between here and RPGnet) but I would never, ever review Maid or Grey Ranks because the "elevator pitch" -- the distilled essential premise of these games -- is an immediate non-sale for me.
That's what C.S. Lewis says in his essay "On Criticism." Don't review something you don't like, because your review will be of no value.

Maybe a little bit.
Having a role model turn out to be a conspiracy-theorist nutjob can be a little disorienting in these times.
Man, I wish I was Pundit in disguise.
Then I wouldn't have to deal with all the Trumpoids.
If you're using ANYBODY on the Internet as a role model, you're in trouble.
Thing read like a personal attack, rather than a review. Maybe Pundit should send out a mean tweet, using the word "very" 7 times (while throwing in "disaster," "horrible," and "many, many, many").:-)

Failing! Sad!

Certainly one shouldn't generally review something in a genre or style you have no appreciation for but to say one shouldn't review something you don't like is too broad. Many a classic essay has been a nuanced dissembling of an overrated piece of art or a hilarious takedown. All kinds of arts criticism have value.

I humiliated Dsvis on the Pundit's forum, so now he's posting super-biased hate-on reviews from Something Awful like some fucking stalker while sending me creepy PMs. I'm going to ban him now.

No, he's a sad little pussy I mocked into oblivion on the Pundit's forum. This is his notion of 'revenge'. I bet later he'll start writing mean comments on my blog. Oh, or maybe he'll try to start his own 'pundit-free rpgsite clone' like some of really serious Pundit-hating losers did in the old days! Those are always fun, watching them wither away to nothing, much like Dsvis' dreams of relevance.

Glad to see you're admitting to posting deceptive links for the intention of stalking me over multiple threads, in an act of site-disruption as revenge-trolling for my mocking your general inadequacy. Man, you just about got the whole checklist of 'stuff we ban people for' on there, you just needed to throw in links to 'pirated' downloads, doxxing or posting fantasies about man-boy love and you would have collected them all!
You now get to enjoy going places to complain about how the RPGPundit is a hypocrite because he banned you for "no reason" and its totally unfair and his site sucks anyways and you swear were going to leave soon anyways.
