PC Magazine recommends DS
- Thread starter CO_Andy

that may be the worst recommendation of all time. After reading that there is no way I would buy a DS. Kudos for the props (hell knows it deserves it) but that basically reads "if you are between the ages of 12 and 25 you will be laughed at for buying a DS" Could they have physically placed the word "kid" in the writeup any more times? I doubt it.
This is because if you are between the ages of 12 and 25 you will be laughed at for buying a DS.borghe said:
Hint: That's just how Dvorak (and most actual adult, professional writers) writes. He's sincere in his enthusiasm for the DS, though his knowledge of gaming and the gaming industry is very skewed.
Musashi Wins!
FLAWLESS VICTOLY!
This screams buy it for the kids or dork in your life. Which I think is good for Nintendo. Maybe not for some of their fans...It's still good for N.

I can't read about Dvorak without thinking about the infamous keyboard -- anyone know if he's related to the guy that developed that thing?

I don't read Dvorak's stuff, but I used to watch him sometimes on ZDTV, and nearly everything he said was backhanded.

Nope, some dude named August Dvorak. More at Wikipedia:

Everything that's been said about Dvorak so far is pretty much right on. He's very knowledgeable, but almost always wrong and adds little to constructive dialogs, especially on TwiT. There was mention of DS and Nintendogs on an episode not too long ago, at least after the entire group went about jerking off over the PSP, though they all seemed to use it for movie watching or simple hackery.
frankly, john c dvoraks audience really isnt people under 25, so i doubt a great deal of them took his comments for anything more than a recomendation of a good product.
He was pretty clear about what he said. I suppose is you dont regularly read dvorak you might take it as a backhanded compliment, but if you read PC Mag, then you read dvorak.
edit: is should add that I havent read dvorak or pc mag in years, but i do seem to recall that he did often offer up his opinion on topics he didnt really know much about. Canadians might have seen Steve Dotto and Dave Chalk do the same thing. Chalk is the worst, as if I am going to listen to his advice about home theaters, he didnt have a clue! but there he was offering is expert opinion on tv. these computer nerds, i swear they think they know everything.

Glad I'm not the only one who read it that way. I actually visualized a cheerleader asking out a "mathlete" to give her friends a good laugh.Soul4ger said:
