I began applying that new baseline to everything in life. "Yeah, being in that car accident was pretty bad, but at least I wasn't watching Tommy Boy..."

“Yeah, being in that car accident was pretty bad, but at least I wasn’t watching Tommy Boy…”

It's about time somebody else finished their heaping helping of pain (That's right, I'm calling you out. Put down the Warcraft and take your medicine. If you don't eat your meat, you can't have any pudding! How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat?!). All things considered, I think this Secret Satan has been a good experience. We all read reviews and know to steer clear of the truly awful games, never even trying them out. However in doing so, we lose a bit of perspective. Many moons ago, my local video store had a rent 1 get 1 free promo every Wednesday which I would take advantage of. One day, with the pickings being fairly slim of what I hadn't seen yet, I chose Battlefield Earth as my second title. For the life of me, I can't remember what the first one was, but I know that when I watched it I thought it was only OK. Next I popped in the narcissistic abomination that was Battlefield Earth. Now, I had heard that it was bad, but I was unprepared for just how bad it truly was. I suffered through the entire movie and when it was done, I said to myself, "You know something...that first movie was actually pretty good now that I think about it." A new baseline had been established, and every other movie I've ever seen has been better than Battlefield Earth. The moral of this story is that we need pieces of garbage like Battlefield Earth, Bad Boys, Knight Rider, and all the others to remind us of just how truly spectacular the Halos, God of Wars, and yes, even World of Warcraft truly are. Oh, and I <em>am</em> the evil twin. My good twin Don died in a tragic blimp "accident". He had no facial hair, and it was his downfall. Great job, Tim.

It sums things up nicely. I am so glad you posted that picture of Garth - I’m pretty convinced that was the deal maker when I bought this game. It sums things up nicely.
