Ben Kuchera writes video game reviews for Ars-technica. Despite his profession, he seems somehow to have retained a reasonable tie to reality. On Labor Day he wrote a computer/video game version of Louis C. K.'s Everything is amazing, but no one is happy. Basically he describes the current gaming world as amazing in selection, quality and price, but covered with consumer complaints about minutiae. We love to complain, rant and troll.
OK, nice article, nice sentiment—but here is the kicker: there are nine pages(at last count) of comments, many of them complaining, ranting and trolling about his "terrible, dumb" article. Every once in awhile Ben will respond to the negative comments (his are identified with a red banner) with funny, vitriolic comments of his own.
You can read (or ignore) as much as you wish about the article and comments, but the reason for this post is to alert you to the ninth page of the comments where Ben writes a classic comment—it may be the Great American Comment™. (It's the second red bar comment down the page.) Enjoy!
[Note: As a minimum you should read the comment by AmericanCitizen a few comments up from Ben's]
