I’d like to take a moment..
Posted by LSama on Aug 18th, 2008 in Uncategorized | 1 commentTo talk to you folks about something that I feel is relatively important to me.
That something is reviews. I love reviews. I love reviews on movies, games, products I buy, even the recipes I like to cook. I like hearing or reading about something someone has tried before, what they think of it. It helps me make a better decision, helps me decide whether or not I’m going to decide to bother with something. I mean, for fuck’s sake, I read reviews on the damned tea maker that I told my mother I wanted to buy.
As a direct result of this strange love I have with reviews, I have recently stumbled acros the dual-blog nature of a fellow who I can only assume is named Bob. Bob reviews two things I take very seriously: Movie, and video games. These two things are remarkably important to me. I watch a lot of movies and I am always on the lookout for awesome new games that are worth bothering with(because, let’s face it, a shitload of them just aren’t worth bothering with these days).
Moviebob, as he calls himself, often writes small reviews about movies or games that he’s seen/played recently. It’s even better, however, when he posts the small movies he writes, reads, directs, etc that are reviews and/or gripes about the movies he’s seen or the games he’s played lately. He takes it a step further with the games, extoiling virtues or pimpslapping the issues that suck, where games are involved.
What one has to understand is that I take my video games even more seriously than I take my movies. I like to consider myself someone who, at the very least, tries to keep my finger on the pulse of the gaming industry and where it’s going. So to have stumbled across this fellow by the help of my good friend the Fu, has been a bit of a godsend. He is witty, intelligent, and brutally honest. He is forward and blunt and does not beat around the bush. He doesn’t sugarcoat shit, with is awesome. I hate shit that sugarcoated. Even cookies.
Moviebob is–you guessed it–the blog in which he talks about movies.
Game Overthinker is the blog in which he discusses video games, their shortcomings, their awesomeness, and why people should love/hate them more.
So I implore you. Please take the time to go visit Moviebob. Watch his videos and read his blog. Embrace his wit, his awesome nature, and his love of big words at considerably inopportune times.
Goober. I sentcha a link to his blogs ages ago!
Glad you finally found him again! :D
