Even though I stumbled upon his reviews several times over the last 10 years, only this week I learned the story behind them!
I have to ask, was he really just incredibly clueless as pretty much everyone seems to claim? His infamous Tomb Raider 2 review, for instance, comes off more as absurdist humor than anything else...

It's funny. The whole "Tomb Raider breast cancer survivor" thing sounds a whole lot like current games journalism.

Was George Wood the the guy read the script, or was he whatever nerd was actually reviewing the game? From my understanding this dude is a paid actor that read some sperg's video game ramblings on public access, but who is the man behind scenes? Does any other information exist?

I remember the whole entire rumor that he died in 2006 (supported by Navigatr of course), despite all the evidence against that. He then just suddenly came back and confirmed he wasn't dead

To be fair, that's a lot of people when they talk about Final Fantasy
>It's bad when FFVII does X
>Loves it when FFVI or any other Final Fantasy does the same shit, only because it's not overrated
VIfags are always the worst with that shit, going on about how they "Hate how Melodramatic post Nintendo FF is", despite VI arguably having the most melodramatic shit.

Hardly anyone does this. You just got into an argument with someone on the internet about this before, and you're projecting it onto everyone because you still remember it. And your statement makes no sense because IV is the most melodramatic of them all, way more than VI. All the """deaths""" were over the top throughout the whole thing, and then the ending sequence when everyone is show alive and praying for the heroes. And it's great. That was what the SNES FF were about.

Or better yet when they hate FF7 for random encounters and lots of text to scroll through when both have been fucking JRPG staples for at least a full decade before FF7 released.

They're both edgy as fuck, which is the whole point of their characters. People who don't understand why are either literally retarded or haven't played the games and are just repeating crap they heard from other retards.

He also buys complete versions of the game with the manual, then doesn't read the manual and shits on games for having nonexistent flaws.

My favorite was when he brought on some guy to show off some Sonic 2 cheats but he didn't realize you have to collect all the chaos emeralds to become Super Sonic.
