New Media Are Evil | |
| Cold Take (Web Video) / int_7a12aabf | comment |
New Media Are Evil: "AAA Studios Sued for Addictive Games" is an analysis of the pitfalls of the contemporary newest media of video games and their criticisms. Ruiz makes an in-between point that, yes, video games can be addictive and manipulative, but they're bad in the same way as junk food and cigarettes are unhealthy: enjoying them is a controlled risk, and using them irresponsibly is the bad part. | |

Capitalism Is Bad | |
| Cold Take (Web Video) / int_8b60a09b | comment |
Capitalism Is Bad: "One Last Gripe at the Industry", fittingly the first thing Ruiz posted under Cold Take after quitting The Escapist, has an undercurrent of highlighting problems with corporate organization and the loss of the human element that comes with it, as people become numbers and ruthless efficiency becomes standardized. He himself admits that "capitalism is bad" isn't exactly an uncommon viewpoint and can be annoying when repeated too often. | |

Take That! | |

Take That!: Frost likes to dabble in this from time to time. "Fatigued By The Numbers" has this little gem while he's discussing gear score in looter-shooters: | |

It's Hard, So It Sucks! | |
| Cold Take (Web Video) / int_e4c03674 | comment |
It's Hard, So It Sucks!: invoked Discussed in a video about Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon, in which Ruiz talks about difficulty in video games and compares it to spice: pleasant when used tastefully and capable of complimenting other flavors, but too much and it'll only appeal to people that are crazy for the stuff, and which will overpower everything else. | |
