That wasn't actually my intent. You want to blame someone, blame Jason Moyer, who doesn't know what the fuck.

Heavy metal doesn't automatically equal crap music and crap style and stupid fans
Allow me to amend my original setup of logical arguments then:
crap music and a crap style that has been embraced by meatheads with no concept of irony, subtlety or satire = BL's subject matter
BL's subject matter = music that the game presents as being heavy metal, but which does not represent my personal definition of what heavy metal can or should be
so I'm butthurt about BL being about music that the game presents as heavy metal, but which does not represent my personal definition of what heavy metal can or should be.
Is that a more accurate breakdown? As much as it sounds like it, I'm not being facetious here, I'm trying to actually understand.

Is there actually a thread on TTLG on double fine or brutal legend that did not get derailed into the same BS metal argument shitfest? Sometimes I wonder...

You're close, Poly.
crap music and a crap style that has been embraced by meatheads with no concept of irony, subtlety or satire = BL's subject matter
BL's subject matter = everything shitty, stupid, and outdated about metal, including the visual style, and a severely lacking music selection
so I'm butthurt about BL being a shrine to metal's stagnation as a genre and subculture with no room for innovation, intelligence or even so much as shedding the skulls and leather and dressing like an adult

It's just a game, dude. I like metal. BL is nothing to me.
Also- this is some new version of Psychonauts?

It's not new for this bundle - they did some graphical tweaks and made the meat circus (a bit) less frustrating when they released it on Steam a few years ago. I imagine the same version is on offer here.

Right, so when making a video game about metal music, they should have
not used some of the most iconic visual elements that people associate with metal.
Rage on, you special snowflake.

They shouldn't have made the game at all, you fucking robot.

But there are a lot of people who enjoy the style and can appreciate it in good humour (obviously).
Mr.Duck on 10/5/2013 at 03:50
But not dethy (obviously).
Tsk, you guys, tsk!

To be honest I was dissapointed that this was some odd open-world/rts hybrid that didn't exactly mesh too well with me, meh.

I LOVE YOU, DETHY!
