About
I'm munnyman5. A Canadian university student.

I like video games, I like writing, so c-bloggin' at Destructoid seems like the recreational thing to do. I'm in sciences, so writing is almost NEVER on the menu. Even if writing were on the menu, it would likely not be about video games, so it would suck. This is better.

If I've written anything so far, I hope you enjoyed it. If you are reading this before I've had a chance to write, hang in there.

TO VIDEO GAMES!

This is going to be a short post, because my main argument for why you shouldn't get all serious and angry about stuff on the internet (especially on a VIDEO GAME WEBSITE) is "dude, chill out. Seriously. Whatever it is, it is not as big of a deal as you're making it. Also, understand what an opinion is."

Right, what was that first point? Oh yeah, chill the fuck out. Here, have a look at this:



Get it? It's like "we have a problem", but they replaced "we" with "Wii", as in the video game console which is pronounced exactly like "we". It's funny!

That is the kind of stupid, funny shit the average internet user is into. Hilarious shit is great. It's why I come to the internet half the time.

If I wrote on the internet professionally, maybe my opinion would be different... OR WOULD IT!? Have you read Destructoid recently? Seriousness is a thing that sometimes is maybe sprinkled over a few of the articles. And that is part of what makes it great. If I wanted to read boring-ass focused-on-objectivity stuff, I would not have Destructoid and GiantBomb accounts.



Seeing people's differing opinions is cool, I guess. If I was more pretentious, I might even call it "interesting", but that's just another way of saying "cool" as far I'm concerned, Podtoid. If you have loved and hated all the same games Jim Sterling loves and hates, then you should buy games based on his reviews. If your opinions differ, maybe you shouldn't read his reviews. For example, I haven't agreed with a Jim Sterling review since I first discovered Destructoid. I don't get angry, though.

Why would I? Because Jim Sterling and I aren't the same person? Fuck naw! The dude thinks differently than I do. Simple as that. I respect his opinion, and I also respect his funny-ass writing a lot of the time. If you step back and take it as an opinion, rather than taking it as a personal attack on your game preferences, you might catch some of the humour as well.



I'm using Jim Sterling as an example a lot of us here at Destructoid can relate to. I'm not defending or verbally assaulting him. As I said before, we differ on pretty much everything - other than how funny it is when people take things on the internet too seriously - but I still like his work because he's him, and he does his thing, and it's usually funny.

So lighten up, y'all! Nobody wants to anger you. Nobody is condemning your method of thinking or your opinions. They're just putting what they think out there, and the reason they're getting paid for it is because they can write better than you and me. Oh, and also because they spend almost all their time playing video games for professional purposes.

I don't play nearly enough video games to be able to talk about them professionally. Shit, I loved Assassin's Creed. And the second one. The second one wasn't as disliked as the first one (outside Destructoid, that is) though. The first one was. Nobody liked that. I did. YOU CAN JUMP OFF A FUCKING MILLION-METER-TALL TOWER INTO A 1-METER-DEEP HAYSTACK WHAT IS NOT TO LIKE?!

I think a big part of the reason why people can disagree with Jim and still enjoy the content he has to offer, is because he presents his views in an interesting way. Even if you completely disagree, you still get the comedic value. The same could be said of AVGN. I've disagreed with some of his game reviews, but still cracked up when he ended up spraying a guest with diarrhea or something similar as is his style. Personally, when I listen to these kinds of reviews, I'm less in serious business mode and more interested in what they as the person think of a game because they're an interesting internet personality. It never feels pushy like some editorials can come off as.
What the fuck? I am completely outraged by this post and want it taken down immediately.
Nicely said! :)
I counter your appeal to reason with rage:

Meh, most of the people who comment and get pissed off are people who have never even been to the site before, there usually douche knobbers from N4G or Reddit coming in once in a blue moon when Jim writes a satire article about their new favorite system exclusive. They see the link, immediately assume Jim is being serious, and come and make an account just to make a negative comment on the article. 98% of those people won't come back until the next satire article pisses them off. Then you have asshats like patriot snake who will stick around just to troll until there either banned or get bored and leave.
*takes your post seriously*
You are all very clever.

Should have known the c-blog-reading-types are most likely cool enough to know most of what I wrote already.
