Ivan M. commented on Zero Punctuation Burning Out

"His comment about a fascist dictator hating you enough to lay the bricks of his concentration camps with cement mixed from his own blood was perhaps the funniest thing I've ever heard him say. I had to pause the video until my laughter died down."

"So that we're all clear on this: She did write under a pseudonym."

Ivan M. commented on 1Up's Silent Hill 5 First Look

" I remain open-minded to this approach the collective is taking with combat in Silent Hill V, but I still disagree with people who've always complained about the controls in the SH series. They cite the clunky and often useless combat as sources of frustration, particularly Harry Mason's physical limitations in the first game."

Ivan M. commented on Dear Jade

" The vast freedom of movement in Assassin's Creed is what stands out to me, which I consider impressive after having enjoyed Spider-Man 2 so thoroughly back on the Xbox. As for you Crecente, please. You're a pirate, so act like one."

Ivan M. commented on Newsweek To MS: Come Clean On 360 Faults Or Recall It

" I suppose the important thing to consider, if you're Microsoft, is which will be more expensive and/or potentially harmful: A recall of all Xbox 360s containing the design flaw, or fixing/replacing bad 360s through the enhanced warranty?"

Ivan M. commented on Newsweek To MS: Come Clean On 360 Faults Or Recall It

" @mfelps: To my understanding, this enhanced three-year warranty only applies to Xbox 360 units that suffer a problem indicated by the three red lights."

Ivan M. commented on SCEA Prez: "We Don't Buy Exclusivity"

" @jallen: I find it hilarious that you believe our armed forces in Iraq, or the United States government in general, has been obeying the Geneva Conventions. Anyway.... Jack Tretton's touted exclusivity ethics hold about as much significance to the interests of PS3 owners as the choice between regular and reduced fat Chips Ahoy!"
