I wish I could find a clip from one of Linkara's reviews where he breaks down that 'just because it is science fiction, doesn't mean you can pull random crap out of your ass'. As I recall it, he was referring to the aspect of a comic wherein Magneto supposedly shifted the earth's polarities - something which he shouldn't be able to do because that's not his mutant power. Similarly, Smudboy has a point in that if you establish something, then you can just add random new facets to it conveniently.

@Terralventhe And I could argue that the idea that once you establish a world you cannot introduce new concepts is silly. Almost every story has aspects about the world and it's tech that is revealed later in the story. What you are saying is that Star Trek should not have added Shape Shifters simply because they were never in the Next Generation.

Awh Smudboy wishes he was RedLetterMedia. You did a fair impression of what they did...Just minus the funny. And your voice just sounds....its hard to describe, its like you never experienced joy in your life.

[squee913]

@ciaranx02 wait... was this to me or Smudsy? I may be many things, but joyless is not one of them :)

@squee913 - have you seen Red Letter Media's Star Wars Reviews?

[squee913]

@1androo2 hasn't everyone?

[1androo2]

@squee913 - unfortunately no =(

can you believe some people are so brainwashed into thinking that the prequels are good that they won't even give the reviews a chance?! >=|

i have 2 friends who love the prequels and won't even listen to the first 10 words of the review.... *sigh*

i feel like there's something about mass effect 2 that TOTALLY BLOWS, but i can't pinpoint what it is or what exactly sucks, but i know there's something wrong with it and this counter-review doesn't help =/

stupid EA.... ruined such a good game..

now i'm not gonna watch the whole 30 minutes of this cuz it's bed time, but I HATE HOW THERE'S AMMO IN THIS GAME NOW!!! W T F!!!! "heat clips keep your weapon from overheating," so that means i can shoot once in a while without a heat clip? herp, no.

[1androo2]

@BloodHuman3 - no? Red Letter Media was the first thing that came to my mind when i saw that there were 6 parts

[1androo2]

@ciaranx02 LOL... RLM was the first thing that came to my mind as soon as i saw that there were 6 parts... the guy needs a pizza roll.....

>Smudboy wishes he was RedLetterMedia

No.

[drone124]

These arguments against smuTboys' are totally right. Smutboy just nitpicks supposed "flaws" that aren't actually flaws but are instead aspects of the game/story that he simply doesn't like.

@Terralventhe "...manipulate *METALS* ...

[drone124]

@Terralventhe But that could bring to question if Magneto could only manipulate and that is all. Or that he has a jurisdiction over the magnetism in metals. This would mean there are some metals he can't control. But in regards to Earth, you could think of the planet as one huge magnet.
