For me it's when someone says a game sells great then someone else says "I guess 50 Cent: Bulletproof is the best game ever, right?" That's the worst cop-out answer ever.  People said this when Burning Crusade sold well, when Gears sold well and every other good selling game I can think of.  People always feels like that proves a point.  It's marketed to a huge demographic, it therefore sold very well.  That DOESN't mean it's vaunted as "the best game ever" or that it's "just like" every other good selling game. 

Anyway, what's the foolish reasoning you hear all the time?

"I've been playing games since I was 1 month old so I'm better than you. You're nothing compared to me thus your logic doesn't work against me."

Gotta love the posters here who have the "holier than thou" attitude.

Pictures from your flat panel with a digital camera compared to frame buffer shots.

Really, enough with all of that.

I don't think a single sane sheep said that online doesn't matter, especially when one of the most hyped games is Smash Bros. Brawl.

Also, to keep pointing out the Wii's graphical downfalls over and over again after knowing how weak the Wii is for over a year and a half is the move of a graphics whore.

That review scores are comparable between platforms, and that "low" (here, that means less than 9.7) scores are inherently bad.

For me it's when people are giving the console's price to a game. like ''MGS4 for 600$? no...''

That's just ridiculous. Kameo for 450$?no.......

"Crysis vs. *anything*" (well, other than Project Offset)
"My PC has better graphics than all your consoles!!1" (Stupidest topics ever.)

I guess it's more like certain topics I think are foolish.  Some logic I think is foolish is "The Wii is ruining gaming!," and "M$ is like, milking you for money because of Live! SWITCH TO PSN!"

Jeff is bias. He is human. And yes he is a very bad reviewer. He tries to put his sense of humor in his reviews. Very lame guy and it's getting in the way of his reviewing.
