You might remember him as Campster, the guy who had the AUDACITY to <a href=\"?p=14654\">not love Half-Life as much as we do.<\/a> Josh, Rutskarn and I have been plotting our revenge for weeks. After a long discussion, we couldn&#8217;t come up with anything more unpleasant than being on the show with the rest of us.  So here he is. Our plan is to subject him to Rutskarn&#8217;s puns until he agrees to wear a &#8220;Half-Life is #1 game with no flaws&#8221; foam finger on his right hand at all times. <\/p>\n<p>He didn&#8217;t crack this week. In fact, he pretty much just talked about Deus Ex the whole time. <em>During the show about Deus Ex!<\/em> Can you believe it? Whatta n00b.<\/p>\n<p>On a less absurdist note: If you want some bonus content today, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=jS7PCcvVoPI\">check out his take on Duke Nukem Forever<\/a>, where he argues that people hated it for all the wrong reasons.  This is just the sort of meta-commentary that makes me happy. <\/p>\n<p>You might notice I didn&#8217;t review DNF.  I couldn&#8217;t do it.  Despite all the jokes I made at the expense of the game, deep down I really wanted to like it. When the game failed, I wasn&#8217;t angry.  Just disappointed. I actually quit playing when I got to the platforming section in the burger joint. I meant to go back and give it another try, but I never did. I could never stockpile enough indignation to get a good rant going, and so I let the game slip by in silence. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Link (YouTube) Oh no!
