Caltrops better than Yahoo!, at least. Also: which one of you is Gene Emery? by I need clarification 02/16/2003, 7:05pm PST
Or maybe it's Reuters?

Either way, what the fuck? God, no wonder the video game industry is still the ghetto of the entertainment biz, despite earning more money than movies. Who the fuck ever heard of that ridiculous game, much less thought to write a 944-word review of it? Plus, it's the lead story in the Technology section of Yahoo! news.

"Reaching the end of the game depends on disarming one of the stupidest bombs ever built. It is made from 10 sticks of dynamite and designed to be activated by a steam-powered contraption right out of a Rube Goldberg drawing. The overly intricate, slow-to-ignite and easy-to-thwart system is unworthy of any Sir Arthur invention and more like something Dr. Evil would dream up in an Austin Powers movie."

Yahoo! is creeping up on Caltrops on the old edge-o-meter, but Christ, I'd still rather read a review of a Half-Life Mod again than that shit.
