I don't agree with all points but damn does it speak truth.

I believe that is what is wrong with gaming these days. The people who played games long ago were actual gamers. They played the game, found every secret, found hidden codes. If a boss or level was hard, we came back every time until it was beaten and you felt proud that you did it.Now everyone wants to give every non-gaming lam-o a chance. So they start the game, hold your hand throughout the whole experience and then gentle tell you "Yay good job champ" and it just ends.Nintendo is the main culprit in this. Playing a game is about challenge.No one stops a game of Scrabble because you can make long words,no one stops a football game and tells the players to give the ball to the weakest person because he can't get the ball, I don't point out all the moves you can beat me with in chess just because you are losing.If you can't play stay away.

Well, you're bound to be annoyed if you have disproportionate knowledge of the subject at hand.

The tone of the list kind of irks me. I don't mind if you enjoy the Wii or play less than *insert acceptable gamer hours* a day, but you don't need to pretend you're better than gamers by wallowing in your wilful ignorance of the subject.

I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now

I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.
