Talking of Kieron, today he chanced upon this wondrous blog of games writing prowess.
With the devastating death of the RAM Raider, it’s good to know that we still have Francesco Poli, whose careful misinterpretation of astonishing stupidity for inciteful dialectic provides an encyclopaedia of cutting journalism. He certainly puts us corrupt hacks in our place.
Bravely standing up against the products of useless, untalented, humourless games designers like Tim Schafer, he is the uncontrollably right-wing voice that the world has been looking for.

John, I wish you wouldn’t use “Right-wing” as a synonym for rubbish, like some cretino al-Guardian reader.
I mean, really, what has Tim Schafer ever given us?
Oh, right. Now I remember.

“Hmmm, calculator please. With a staff of 20, that would mean about 3000 words a person; with the average of 6 characters a word…”
Sir, that’s not a calculator, it is a dead squirrel. Please remove your fingers from its ribcage and leave the paddling pool. Look. A piece of shiny metal. See how it glitters…

You might want to read him first, and find his right-wing tendancies. And his “lefties” bashing.

Dont’ forget the ‘doesn’t seem to like any games in the universe’ bit either.

He doesn’t like Grim Fandango? Is he legally retarded, or what?

Wow. There are no swear words foul enough to describe that man.
