Nintendo Life Commenters Confound Me

So every once in a while, I frequent the news site known as Nintendo Life… because it has Nintendo news and I obviously own a current Nintendo system, so this sort of thing is relevant.

Every once in a while, Nintendo Life will post news about Brie Larson (she who played that Carol Danvers person in a couple Marvel movie and the one with the unicorn) and her love for Nintendo. This causes people to throw a fit because she is a meanie in real life. Also, every once in a while, Nintendo Life will post news about a new emulator gimmick and people will complain about things playing ROMs and stuff. And then sometimes, they’ll post a fluff piece about a glitch recently uncovered and people… well, you know.

I admit some of the things they post on their could hardly qualify as newsworthy, but seriously, fellas? If you don’t like the fluff pieces, don’t touch the fluff pieces. Sometimes, the HEADLIE is all it takes to decide whether a post is worth your damn or not.

Yeah, that’s all I got.

Al Bundy Challenges CM Punk

(2019 Update: Twitter banned Al Bundy from making twits. So here’s a replacement picture here.)

Word is @CMPunk still has no opponent for @ufc debut. Making my last attempt here

See, Al Bundy vs. CM Punk is something I would like to see. It’ll be interesting and there’s plenty of material to work with.

Breaking News: CM Punk Went To The Bathroom

In a late-breaking development, former WWE vagabond CM Punk was last sighted going to the bathroom shortly after making a few quick twits on Twitter. In other news, Jason “Douchebag” Frank is still pining for a fight with the former WWE champion because, you know, the fans. By the way, JDF, how’s that fight with Van Damme going for you?

VIDEO – No Bouyah For Ashens…

So famed self-proclaimed “idiot in a suit” Dr. Ashen got his hands on an Ouya… After watching this vid, I think I might be saving myself a hundred bucks as a result… or at least furthered the possibility of spending it on the other Android-based machine that I’ve been considering. Anyway, here’s the video for those wanting to check it out.

Someone's thoughts on angry reviewing (not mine…)

By the way, this is irrelevant to the video, but I just wanted to tell everybody that ANYONE can do a review. You open Wordpad, you make honest and sincere critics on the game, you post it wherever you want to post it and voilà, you made a review.

I don’t understand how many people think they need to make jumpcuts and cheesy montages to make a good review. Sure, you know how to do a montage, but that’s irrelevant. In general, everyone that does that sounds like a bored robot.

Maybe this is a difference of culture. In France, we had Marcus, who was the reviewer, and showed us the game live. And then, in the internet, Hooper did the same thing but without showing his face, and it worked. Now most french reviewers try to use their styles of reviewing. They have trouble too, unfortunately.

Anyway, I think the most important thing to a review is to be sincere, not funny. Because really, when I think of the AVGN, the IG or the NC, I think of a humor show, not a reviewing show.

I wish someone like Hooper would make reviews and have hundreds of thousands of subscribers, so they’ll be more reviewing styles.

The above words are comments from Youtuber kefkasakura. I may add my own opinion to the whole reviewing cycle (god knows how many times I say that.), but this is close enough to my own sentiments on the matter that I’m willing to repost it here.
