Hmmm

[Artie Dent]

By including Jack Thompsonas the number one most interesting person in gaming, it makes a dangerous assumption that to be associated with doesn't mean you are in it. No matter how important, ridiculous, or inflammatory his actions might be, I still find it hard to characaterize him as "in gaming".

Leroy Jenkins

The reviewer does an inadequate job of describing the Leroy video. They're heading into basically a pit of death to get an item that Leroy needs, while Leroy himself is Away From Keyboard. So the crew spends a lot of time planning strategy, discussing timing, pulling out calculators to determine survival rates, and generally creating a rock solid, well-discussed, intricate plan of attack... That Leroy promptly ignores and charges in.

And they all get slaughtered. Not just killed, slaughtered. They get mauled like puppies in a lion's den. The plan falls apart completely, and so do they. Not only are there no survivors, they didn't take any of the millions of attackers out with them. It is a complete blow out.

To top it all off, over voice chat comes this little wimpering voice saying "It's... It's not my fault."

Perfect.
