Comments on: The Validity of Reviewing http://mark.fakepixeltrees.com/archives/429 a blog about games and food Fri, 17 Jul 2009 16:42:29 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8 hourly 1 By: Mark Whitney http://mark.fakepixeltrees.com/archives/429/comment-page-1#comment-724 Mark Whitney Tue, 30 Jun 2009 21:38:22 +0000 http://mark.fakepixeltrees.com/?p=429#comment-724 Very true and there are a ton more different personalities and ideas on how to review things but I didn't want it to sound like I was attempting to be preachy or make it 12 pages long. There's also the "everything has meaning" type of person who falls into that douchebag category as well. If I hear one more word about there being Christian imagery in Rocky Balboa I'm going to start boxing as well. Rocky punches people, he punches people hard. If Jesus or God did that there would probably be a lot more people with black eyes. But I think that choosing the right medium at the right time falls into the luck category. I mean holy hell Myspace and Facebook were around at the same time and them practically overnight everyone hated myspace and began to love facebook. That easily could have gone the opposite way or could have even gone to a different medium. The internet is a strange mistress, yeah?

This is where we take down the fourth wall and really get into the tragedy that's behind the comedy mask. I'm being a tool. I think the overall success of any online blogger is the marriage of how fast the blogger can get his point across (how less we have to read without getting our review on a fortune cookie) and which platform is the most trendy to do it (myspace, facebook, twitter, posterous..etc). One thing you didn't tackle is the uniform douchebag in any field of critique. The "Too Cool For The Room" Trendsetter. He/She is the person who thought "The Dark Knight" was "misguided in it's message" or thinks The Beatles "are just the right pop band for the right time". I hate people who take grave stands in the name of being original and not on telling the truth. Good article. It made me warm and fuzzy inside. Woah-boy, a very special episode of Blossom right here!
