Video Game Reviews

"*See, I'm just running around, having a great time. And I'm definitely going to make a note of that for my review.*"
―Erik
Video Game Reviews is the 19th lesson of Internet Comment Etiquette. It was the last lesson to be featured on letsGOtoCLASS. It was released on November 18, 2014.

## Summary

Erik pronounces video game journalism dead and downloads a torrent of Assassin's Creed Unity so that he can teach his students how to take up the responsibility. Then he takes a drink but it's too hot.

Erik's first game is Battlefield 4. He has a great time, and then he has his teammates politely wait in the helicopter while he takes notes for his review. After taking off, however, he notices the controls are "a little wonky" and crashes it into the ground. Next he tests teamkilling and confirms that it is on, both when shooting and when driving C4-laden vehicles into teammate's tanks. He then reviews the single player portion of the game, but he's upset because he saw a girl.

Next he plays Insurgency, does a mic check, and confirms that friendly fire is on. He leaves a review for this game as well. After that, he opens his illegal copy of Assassin's Creed Unity, which crashes his computer. He leaves a review anyway.

Finally, he has students get their etiquescantrons for the Comment Quiz of the Week and he sends Ted Cruz a tweet as part of Ted Cruz Tuesday.

*HA HA HA HOLY SHIT TEAM KILLING IN THIS GAME IS FUCKING HILARIOUS. MY FAVORITE WAY TO TEAMKILL IS WAIT AROUND A CORNER AND ASK A TEAMMATE TO COME MEET ME. THEN I SHOOT HIM IN THE DICK WITH A GRENADE LAUNCHER. BEST TACTICAL SHOOTER I'VE PLAYED IN YEARS ANYWAY I KINDA WISH I WAS A WOMAN SOMETIMES AND IT FRUSTRATES ME. JK THIS GAME DOESN'T HAVE FRIENDLY FIRE, UNLIKE RUSSIA WHICH HAS BEEN TEAMKILLING ITS OWN CITIZENS FOR DECADES. FUCKIN NOOBS.*
