A philosophy

I'd like to think myself rather even handed and objective when reviewing anything that gets sent down the pipe. I mean, if you're looking for someone that'll unquestioningly pat you on the back all the while holding your bottle for you as they review your game/product/whatever, then you're better off looking elsewhere. Your mom did that for you oh so many years ago, but this fat, white, out of shape (unless you count round as a shape), thirty-something gamer turned full-time stay-at-home dad won't coddle you so. I flatly refuse to compromise what tiny bit of credibility I have in the bowels of teh interwebs, which I know is like claiming that Fox News is credible journalism. If I don't like something, I'm not going to sugar coat it and look for the good in something I consider bad as a whole.

That said, the forever brilliant and unabashedly honest, Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw, takes on some of his detractors in this week's Zero Punctuation in a manner that I feel captures my philosophy to a tee.
