This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Great gamer or not, his articles just ooze with bitterness. I'd prefer being a happy mediocre gamer than an eternally dissatisfied great one.

Costikyan is a bitter old ass.  Violence, while amusing, is defintiely his  parting shot at the world of RPGs.  

He's long since abandoned the tabletop gaming realm for long-winded punditry about vidgames and pushing the swinish "casual games" market.

Violence really stuck in my craw.  It's nothing more than the writer screaming "I HATE THIS!  AND THIS!  AND THIS! AND YOU!" for God knows how long.  It's not even funny.

If you're going to be an asshole, be a funny asshole.  Otherwise you're just wasting my fucking time.

Quote from: MelinglorThing with stuff like Munchkin is, it always seemed to me that it was the very targets of the satire who were the "cool" crowd who were in on the joke. In my circle it's hardcore D&D enthusiasts who are the most voracious Munchkin players, and find the humor to be a riot. .

On the other hand, I rather accidentally created a small monster in the local area with munchkin... to whit a crowd of 40-80 somes who have never really gamed in their life (as we use the term) who play more munchkin than I do. Okay, so that isn't that hard, but still, non-gamers find the game, and it's backstabby mentality very fun, and much of the humor as well.  Ya don't need to be an insider to 'get it'.:p
For you the day you found a minor error in a Post by Spike and forced him to admit it, it was the greatest day of your internet life.  For me it was... Tuesday.

For the curious: Apparently, in person, I sound exactly like the Youtube Character The Nostalgia Critic.   I have no words.
