Hey, its Jason. My older brother left this blogmaker on so im gonna post what i think. i thought you had to be an editor to write stuff so my brother must have hacked into the destructoid internet or something.
So i was playing the battlefield: 1943, and i think that its one of the baddest games ever. They got so many things wrong..
The biggest problem is The gamemakers didnt look in their history books, because this game HAS NO NAZIES IN IT!!! I read in class that Nazies tried to take over the entire world, so maybe the gamemakers thought that the Nazies couldnt find the tiny islands in the game. The problem is that the game has all the Nazi tanks, guns and airplanes, but they decided to give them to the "japanese", who never fought with britain in WWI. They were probably afraid that the germans would sue them because they make Nazis look bad so they copy-pasted the japanese onto the Nazi characters. They didnt even try.
The weapons in the game are totally garbage. You can't customize them with scopes, silencers and skins like in CoD4, so everyone just sprays there bullets all over the map, since they don't have aimers on the guns. The rifle never seems to hit anyone, but if someone uses it to shoot at you you die. The MP40 is way worse in this game then CoDWAW, since you cant run and spray with it and someone goes up to you and no scopes you. garbage! The sniper sucks because you cant lie down and shoot, and whats the point of having a sniper if the building your in can get blown up by a tank!
Yeah, tanks are way to cheap in this game. They have a big gun AND a machine gun AND a machine gun on top. People just sit in them and shoot people because they have no skill. Halo does it better, since they dont put many tanks on there multiplayer maps. Planes are stupid too, since if you stop in midair to keep firing at someone you just fall to the ground or get shot. The missles never work they always fall straight down, major bug! They even have cannons that shoot exploding bombs to blow up planes. They had things like those in Battlestar Galactica, but that show was millions of years in the future so the gamemakers put it in even though they never had them in WW1.
i cant beleive that microsoft made such a terrible game. they should have just made another Halo expansion pack and we would all have been happy.
[b]thanks for reading![b]

I just wanted to see what kind of reaction I'd get from writing a quick "how many errors I can fit" post, as compared to my previous article, which was a mini-essay that took hours to write.
Sad to say, but it looks like satire wins out over rhetoric. I call it the "Sterling vs. Burch" rule...

The missiles part was hilarious. I'm quoting that.

It should also be noted that the topic of Battlefield will just generally attract more clicks because many of us play the game... whereas Manic Mansion is obviously a more obscure reference.
Interesting social experiment... though I don't think that the results are at all unexpected, and things are unlikely to change.

I'm still happy with my longer article, since it actually brought forward something that few people remembered. I was also happy with people who were like "I remember that show, but never knew it was based on a game!" That made it all worthwhile.
And just to let everyone know, it still took me a decent amount of time to write this article. It's tough to go from academic writing to "humour".

"The biggest problem is The gamemakers didnt look in their history books, because this game HAS NO NAZIES IN IT!!!"
And said, "Oh, it's a satire!"
Despite being right, have I overestimated the intelligence level of the average Internet commenter? :P

Hmm...maybe I should have switched the paragraphs around: starting with the usual whining about "cheap" things in the game then spiraling down into total stupidity.

Then again, i did play one match of the game, and i did fairly well. so i was thinking to myself "maybe he just sucks at it?"
