Trials and travails of a half wit game blogger






Publish an article about a game and you'd better grow a thick skin.


I recently put up an article comparing and contrasting the new Battlefield 3 and Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 on technorati. Now I realize most of my stuff never gets a read but sometimes it does and here's a sample of what I get when I get the attention of the wrong people...





"... do your research. BF3 Runs perfectly fine under Google Chrome. Geeez I hate half-wit bloggers. With that said I own both games for the PC. To sum it up if you want to run around like a rabid idiot with no tactics or squads tactics play MWF3, if you want to use your brain and feel a lot more rewarded for using tactics play BF3. I sure wish I didn't waste $59 on the patch called MFW3."



Now if you read the article you'll likely find it's pretty even handed. I usually try to eliminate any bias and only report what I've personally experienced.  I've never been a fan boy of anything so commentary like the example above mystifies me.  I'm fairly certain I spread the props and digs equally.


Ah well, you can't please everyone.

I've been considering a rewrite of the offending article to try.  It's very succinct.  Have a look...






ME LIKE BATTLEFIELD 3 LOTS OF PEOPLE SHOOTING GAME, IT VERY PRETTY


ME LIKE MODERN WARFARE 3 GAME TOO, IT BETTER ONE GUY GAME BUT MANY PEOPLE GAME NOT AS GOOD.


MODERN WARFARE 3 IS PRETTY GAME TOO EVEN WITH OLD GAME RUNNER THINGY.


NO LIKE BATTLEFIELD 3 INTERNET WINDOW SCREEN THING IT KIND OF MEAN TO ME.


NO LIKE MODERN WARFARE 3 MULTIPLAYER AUTO MATCHUP THING.  ME LIKE CHOICE OF INTERNET TUBE COMPUTERS TO PLAY ON.


ME FINAL WORD IS BOTH GAMES REAL GOOD FOR DIFFERENT REASONS.


There, that should do nicely...                            :)
