Just a little too much. >_>

I love his reviews, but as cool as the intro is, I liked individual songs better. Such as the Orange Box review having the lyrics, "It's all too beautiful!"

Otherwise he's doin' great.

I don't think changing his intro has taken enough away from the original to upset me, but of course that's just personal opinion. I still like it.

He hits and misses. We've all grown, I think, just a little bit less shaken by him. And that's detracted from the shock value, maybe, but I think it's still as funny as it used to be. For all his criticism of cliched humor mechanisms, he does use a few himself though. Comparisons to random objects, absurd metaphors. But whatever. I still LOL.

I miss the old intro!

Not really, although I do much prefer the previous randomly chosen intro/outro music.

I agree, I miss the random, but reverent music choices for intros


I think some stuff he has been totally wrong about 'ie Smash' but thats just my opinion

There really isn't anything he can do about that.  He's about famous enough to get sued for constantly using copyrighted music.  His reviews are as funny as ever, though.  Personally I disregard them almost completely.  They're good for comedy but he's popular because he hates on eveeeeerything.

That's where you're wrong.  I think he liked Psychonauts and Bioshock.

He liked the orange box but found Bioshock too shallow, the only time he said he longed for bioshock was when he was talking about Halo 3's shallowness...

Especially Portal, he loved Portal. I don't remember exactly how he put it but it was something along the lines of "If you don't like Portal than you're fucking stupid."

I still look forward to his stuff, I think that the new intro music sucks but it doesn't really detract from the overall experience.

He's funny when the game is bad.

I don't want to listen to 5 minutes of why Portal will clean my teeth, steal my girlfriend, and conquer the world for the new roman empire.
