About Ranting Extreme
"Criticism written
without personal feeling is not worth reading. It is the capacity
for making good or bad art a personal matter that makes a man
a critic. The artist who accounts for my disparagement by alleging
personal animosity on my part is quite right: when people do
less than their best, and do that less at once badly and self-complacently,
I hate them, loathe them, detest them, long to tear them limb
from limb and strew them in gobbets about the stage."
- George Bernard Shaw
Welcome to Ranting Extreme. This site
aims to provide a platform for interesting criticism and discussion
of videogames. The site was set up due to a general frustration
with the lack of adequate coverage games are getting in the
mainstream press, and the gradual disappearance of quality paper-based
games magazines. This basically means we want to use this site
to cover the things that the 'proper' games critics are too
scared/sensible/indifferent to write about. That covers the
"Ranting" part. The "Extreme" part refers
to the Extreme lengths of time between updates.
Ranting Extreme is run by two a deviant called
'James' (real name Juan Jesus Gonzales Escobar) in his extremely limited spare time. Ok, look, I'll update the joke later...
