I found your attempted revi...What's the point?<br /><br />I found your attempted review of this product to utterly fail at every level to provide any kind of useful information or knowledge that would help the game community at large make any kind of fair decision about this game. <br /><br />It appears your only intent is to simply and cruelly make fun of the designer for making one overly bold marketing statement that you take major issue with.<br /><br />Dismissing the game as simply a chess variant in more or less one sentence while spending almost all of the rest of your review space attacking a person you've never met just tells me you lost sight of what you are supposed to be doing. Which is to be adding to the general knowledge about products out there.<br /><br />This game, of which I own a copy of and have played and am familiar with does not try to disguise the fact that it is a chess variant. No crime in being a chess variant, there are many others out there. What would be more interesting is whether you thought it was a good and interesting chess variant or not and for what reasons. Personally, I like it and I like chess as well.<br /><br />As a reviewer, you disqualify yourself by simply dismissing the game without any real analysis and admitting that you personally don't like chess variants.<br /><br />I learned nothing about the game from your comments pro or con. I learned a lot about you (none of which would make me want to like you so far).<br /><br />I do understand that one of your gimmicks is supposedly being crass and comical...okay...but I believe if you are going to claim to also be a legitimate reviewer, your reviews ought to include a bit more information about the game and game play as you do so and not just be a place for you to rant about a person's ballsack.<br /><br />The worst thing though, is that you've wasted my time twice. Once for reading your, in this case, worthless and unsubstantiated trash talk, and twice by irking me enough to comment about your worthless comments.<br /><br />J.D.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327484429725532216.post-54578848012044634612011-10-23T06:14:08.882-07:002011-10-23T06:14:08.882-07:00I think the real cool part about this game is that...I think the real cool part about this game is that you can get the bits pretty cheap for use in a real game...<br /><br />http://www.mcssl.com/store/5116389/replacement-parts/black-armed-forces<br /><br />~PeteAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-327484429725532216.post-32027130645796902102011-10-21T06:06:53.619-07:002011-10-21T06:06:53.619-07:00I just burst my gut laughing when I imagined what ...I just burst my gut laughing when I imagined what this game's creator would do when he read your review.<br /><br />Nice one Matt!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
