You tell me I'm whining, and expect what? An apology? Some hand-wringing? I started this site so I could say exactly what was on my mind, and I'm not going to start dancing around the comments section to spare tender feelings.<br /><br />All the stuff you complained about, I addressed in the review. The review which, incidentally, was actually attached to the complaints you were making. It's kind of like if Dolly Parton was slapping you in the face with her boobs, and you said, 'that's OK, but I wish you had bigger titties.'Matt Drakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10293720777403743376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327484429725532216.post-49010524275551402032009-06-05T12:08:16.965-07:002009-06-05T12:08:16.965-07:00Jose - He criticized your ability to read english ...Jose - He criticized your ability to read english because your complaints were things he'd addressed - he even said that he likes the game and wants to play more - yet you talked like he only bad mouthed it. Honestly, when I read your comment right after reading his review it sounded to me like you'd only read half of his review - stopping when you didn't like what Drake was saying.Wind Lanenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327484429725532216.post-25310664159457743402009-06-05T06:55:46.708-07:002009-06-05T06:55:46.708-07:00Jose,

I have been reading your reviews all the way back when you talked about AT-43 and always laughed with your humor.<br /><br />However, I think it's rude of you to say that I don't understand or can't read english when that's not exactly the case, I'm fluent in 3 languages and have to constantly switch between the 3 of them to work.<br /><br />As a matter of fact I've lived in England for one year and often contribute with articles on fortess ameritrash and have never had a trouble communicating in English.<br /><br />I was certainly under a different impression about you, I thought you were easier to approach and more open to discussion, perhaps you're already too big in your head to discuss with another boardgames fan, perhaps you're racist, I don't know and don't care. However, I do know that such a personal attack on myself was totally uncalled for.<br /><br />I simply mentioned that I had already published my own review of the game in spanish, because I thought for a moment it'd be fun to compare notes of the game with someone else, however it seems that you are not open for discussion or even open to the thought that maybe other people interpret things differently and thus a cultural difference could provide a different outlook on the game. <br /><br />Thanks for replying to my comments, I now know just a bit better who's behind this reviews and will steer clear of you in the future.José Ml.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15947964128780716718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327484429725532216.post-30397635256105262732009-06-04T19:21:20.157-07:002009-06-04T19:21:20.157-07:00I think the problem, Jose, is not that I don't...I think the problem, Jose, is not that I don't read Spanish. It appears that you have trouble reading English. Also, you're just flat-out wrong, which I guess can be attributed to translation, but I suspect it's more the fact that someone said something you don't like about a game you play all the time.<br /><br />The flat counters are difficult to pick up if you place them on the base of a figure, which detracts from game play. If you don't have trouble with that, then congratulations for having suction cups on the ends of your fingers. Also, if you think it's OK that the rules that tell you when you get event cards are in the section about stuff that sits on the floor, and NOT in the rules about event cards, then it's clear that you've got your head stuffed up your ass.<br /><br />Which may be why you have trouble reading English.Matt Drakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10293720777403743376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327484429725532216.post-37639994943681190522009-06-04T11:58:20.511-07:002009-06-04T11:58:20.511-07:00Non sense, there's no thing such as too much t...Non sense, there's no thing such as too much theme or for Dirz you'll die in the fiery halls of our undergound lab. Haha.<br /><br />Dude, you realize that this is a fantastic game and that you're whining about it being too nice and too pretty? It sounded like an old man "I can't read....." haha<br /><br />Anyways, I'll grant you that the counters were made on cheap cardstock and that the maps are busy, however that doesn't detract from gameplay.<br /><br />As for the rules, I know this is a bit more elaborate than your tipical tactical miniatures game, but if you're used to playing those you shouldn't have much trouble reading the rules a couple of times and consulting them on the first game.<br /><br />It's a great game and that looks and feels awesome to play and if you'd read spanish i'd forward you a copy of my review of this game.José Ml.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15947964128780716718noreply@blogger.com
