All,
I believe by this upcoming morning, my OPed post will be up on BGN. I know that a few of you have taken issue about whether BGN will support a piece of harder hitting game journalism. So let me know what you think.
I'll try and update with a link as soon as the article is posted.

BGN has about as much bite as a toothless poodle!

So basically you're telling us that you don't really know jack shit about board games yet we should listen to your advice cause you're like random dude on the street consumer and then just repost comments from people that actually have something to say?
Sorry dude, but I think if you want people to give a shit you'll need to actually ya know, play some fucking games once in a while and form an opinion of your own.

Sure as hell isn't a poodle -- it's got six legs.
That's just not right.

I will summarize Ryan B's article for people that don't want to go over to BGN and read it.
Hi, My name is Ryan B. I don't know much about board games, I'm no expert. I only own 29 games and most of them suck. The gathering of friends is elitist and drives groupthink. On Fortress Ameritrash, people are writing lots of interesting stuff about how unoriginal eurogame design is these days. We should stop talking about mechanics so damn much, don't games need a soul? What about theme? VPs are getting old. What say you, readers?
Ryan, if I read an article about the evils of drinking in BEER monthly, I would react just like the BGN people are reacting to your article.
I agree with most of what you are saying, but posting an article like that on BGN is like giving a baptist sermon to a cave full of taliban.

How many games does someone need to own for their opinion to be considered valid, informative or useful?
Just asking.

Where's the part where Larry Levy chimes in and sets you straight? That's always my favorite.
