    For the same reason that discussions of That Guy With The Glasses turn to flame wars so easily.

    Because people are unable to just skip over those sections of the wiki like sane human beings who dislike the site do?

    Because nobody seems to understand that he's joking.

    The thing is, he's not joking. He's saying what he really believes, he's just saying it in a witty, humorous way.

    ^Yeah, that's what bugs me.

    It's part true opinion, part hyperbole(good luck in figuring out the ratio). Or sometimes just hyperbole because he didn't find the game worth his time, or the entry was a vehicle for a rant to should have been put in Extra Punctuation. His style is amusing, but he has little merit as a balanced reviewer(not that most other reviewers are any better).

    ^^^ Fine, how about "far too many people take him at face value"?

    This wouldn't bug me so much if he didn't have shitty opinions.

    Further proof that GuyInWhite is IYellalot.

    I don't quite get how you reached that conclusion there, Myrm.

    IYellalot hated Zero Punctation as well.

    ^^ Wrong reaction! You're supposed to say "Who's IYellalot"!

    Excuse me, good sir, but Alex Trebek only does the finest of Colombian jungle snow, thank you very much.

    Wait, that joke makes no sense.

    Also, was IYellalot the one who yelled a lot about the Google thing? The troper we actually had to apologize to Google for?
  • KomodinKomodin

    Yes, that very same chucklefuck.

    Main thing I remember about I Yellalot was that he kept pestering us to petition Square to make a Chrono Trigger sequel, or something.
