    no honestly if you can't see that for yourself I don't think you really understand burden of proof.
    Burden of proof is the requirement that if you state facts, you need to prove that they are true.

    Atheists have yet to prove that God does not exist.
    Believers have yet to prove that God does exist.

    Burden of proof isn't like "innocent by default until proven guilty," or in this case "God doesn't exist by default unless you prove that he does."

    You're right. That was a typo.

    Edit: Well, I'd classify a button masher exactly as he described it: a game with little depth of control where "mashing buttons" can yield better results than time and effort put into understanding the game.

    Smashbros Brawl is not like that.

    Not that I've played any of these Brawl games, but my experience with button-mashers in fighting games over the years is basically that, yeah, their randomly-flailing attacks make it hard to predict what they're going to do, as they themselves don't even know what hey're going to do, but I've yet to see a fighter in which mashing cannot be shut down with patience and learning how to spot openings. In all their twirling around, they generally don't make exclusively safe moves and something punishable is going to pop up sooner or later.

    I have no interest at all in debating the relative merits of religion and atheism with you, someone who apparently finds it difficult to grasp the most basic concepts of said debate.

    Still though I'm obviously trolling. How many other retarded forum cliches can we get through, I wonder. Someone call me an X Box fanboy and spell Microsoft with a dollar sign.

    Also, any Christian who spends their time trying to prove that God exists has seriously missed the point. People who place any real value on their faith quickly learn that "proving" it doesn't really matter.

    At least, the ones I've dealt with who I think actually "get it". I wouldn't know since I believe in no-sing, Lebowski.

    I love the fact that Yahtzee can make an entire video basically deriding people who go onto forums and cry like screaming little girls with skinned knees about him giving a negative review of some game and the only deference to irony said idiots will manage to muster up is ending or prefacing their screaming tirades with "I'm not angry though"

    Almost like those arrogant idiots who go into those threads to decry such and mark themselves out as being naturally "above it all", yet still wanting to stop in on the conversation in order to point that out. Typically prefacing with how they aren't actually involved in the discussion themselves.

    Well, I think we can all agree, unanimously and with no disagreement, that this was clearly the best and most accurate review of anything ever.

    All hail Yahtzee for trying to bring that game down a few pegs!

    Is the metaphor unclear?

    You entered into a discussion by stating that the other person did not know what they were talking about. But then you refuse to actually take part in this discussion or back up your point in anyway. Instead you just back off saying 'you don't get it i'm right' without displaying some actual proof. Which is all I'm asking for.

    I don't think anyone is really complaining about the review being inaccurate, just saying that the issues he had with the game either don't bother them, or don't matter to them. No one is saying he is wrong.

    Or maybe some people are, but that's not the majority of posts in this thread.

    No no, there's been a few saying he's flat-out wrong. Because he said it uses lots of particles, and it only uses a large amount. THIS IS CLEARLY BIASED AND HE HATES NINTENDO AND HOW COULD HE HATE BRAAAAAAAWL he's not a real reviewer anyway.

    edit: Tube, I love you. I mean, I know you get my notes, texts, IMs, phonecalls and the messages I write on the mirror with lipstick, but I just want to say it again. I love you.

    How is Yahzee any different from any other reviewer.

    It is impossible to provide an objective review of subjective media.

    Just because he doesn't like said media doesn't mean he isnt a reviewer. Many of the points he raises in his videos are not only true but cut deep into the truth of the matter, things which the fans of the game don't want to admit/dont want to become commonly accepted knowledge.

    It's the Gerstmann 8.8 all over again.

    Times like these are when I feel embarassed to be a gamer when so many gamers act like Rami.

    I'm not gonna say anything about this review's accuracy - not that I'd know anything about that, I'm European and thus still Brawl-deprived for so long that I've begun to stop caring - all I care about is teh funny.

    And in that aspect, I was a little disappointed to be honest. I liked the Robina stuff, but as for the rest, you could tell his heart wasn't really in it. Shame.
