On a more serious note, the reason I can't stand video game reviewers (Swedish and otherwise) is not because I disagree with their opinions, but because I can't stand the way they write their articles. Super Play (Swedish magazine) in particular seems to pride itself on horrid use of puns, misguided popular references, attempted use of "elevated" language (poetry, ugh), tired rhetoric, etc... "And that is why Shadow of the Colossus made smile as I walked down the alley..." No, that is why I think you are a snotty bastard who doesn't know how to write a decent, informative article. See, your shit doesn't smell better because you (attempt to) cover it in roses.

This.

Oh, the irony!
PS. See my last post about Descartes.

Damn it, I don't follow. Did I use a worn out cliché? Wot was the irony (and what did Descartes refered to)
You gotta xplain this.

Sorry, your dual highlight made me think you were pointing out how I (arguably) was acting pretentious myself, hence the "irony."
As for Descartes, quoting Wikipedia: "René Descartes died on 11 February 1650 in Stockholm, Sweden, where he had been invited as a teacher for Queen Christina of Sweden. The cause of death was said to be pneumonia — accustomed to working in bed until noon, he may have suffered a detrimental effect on his health due to Christina's demands for early morning study (the lack of sleep could have severely compromised his immune system)."
As my professor once said, Descartes death was our (Sweden's) greatest philosophical "contribution" until modern times, so I used him as an example of both "import" and "power" (refering back to your original statement).
Did that clear things up?
