You could use that sweet, old fashioned Irony Mark.

Or a new-fangled SarcMark.

We don't need your corporate punctuation!

Is this review ironic? http://www.gametrailers.com/video/review-hd-blood-bowl/62219

Having played the game, I do agree with the review, but its a shame they didn't play more of the commentary...or better commentary.

The last one they did they only played half of, and the unfunny half.

"Elf beauties are selling Big Moot Sandwiches in the stands!"
"I'm off to get one!  Be back in five minutes"
"So you like Big Moot Sandwiches now?"
"No, but I love me a good elf beauty!" (mind, the voice is a character that sounds like an orc)

So you think it's a horrible game for not sacrificing gameplay integrity to appeal to the mass market and console audiences and that it's graphics are unforgivably atrocious and that while the PC version is much better than the X-Box version that actually counts against it? ???

Was going to link to that Simpson's clip with the sarcasm detector but I can't find one. Surprising.

Not sure who you're talking to, but the game is really quite terrible unless you're playing hotseat with a friend.

Well you said the review was accurate.  That's what the review said.

Well you said the review was accurate.  That's what the review said.

The flaws in game play that it points out are accurate.  The lack of documentation is accurate.  The long loading times are...accurate.  The inability to customize your team except via campaign mode is accurate.

Not owning a XBucks$360 I can't say for the points specific to it (or the differences between the versions).

I don't own any console.  Why would I want to?  If I get it on the PC its just better (look!  free patches!  free community content!  mod tools!  steam stats/friends/etc!)

The whole console war thing pisses me off.

He was at least slightly kidding.

Perhaps. But there's been so much spouting in this thread that it really needs curbing.

Being rude does not curb it. It feeds it. Just ignore it. People's opinions don't change when you yell at them over the internet.

..Which makes this post kinda useless.

Just take it elsewhere.

I have to add another thing I hate about modern games:
Steam's friendlist breaking down and deleting all my friends and whatnot.

I have something related to a modern game that I hate. My appartment's strict NAT. It doesn't compromise security to open 2 ports.
