I\u2019m about to say something that may be considered HIGHLY OFFENSIVE to some people, so TRIGGER WARNING!!!!<\/p>\n

Ok?<\/p>\n

You ready?<\/p>\n

Last chance\u2026<\/p>\n

Alright, here we go\u2026 *breathes in*<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve never seen a single episode of Nickelodeon\u2019s Avatar: The Last Airbender!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I know, I know! I\u2019m a terrible person, and I deserve to be publicly beaten and shamed! But I\u2019m not at a total loss! Luckily for me, my only real exposure to this world of Aang and his cohorts in break-dance-fighting was the totally world renowned and critically and commercially praised SMASH HIT, \u201cThe Last Airbender\u201d from director M. Night Shamalama-ding-dong. <\/p>\n

“The greatest film of our age! Move over, The Godfather!” – Everybody and their Moms<\/p>\n

So, I guess what I\u2019m trying to say is, even tho I don\u2019t know the show, I\u2019m in good hands when it comes to understanding the lore, and the character motivations and conflicts. Totally. Yup.<\/p>\n

Also, it means that, thanks to my complete apathy towards the show, my expectations were kept very VERY low. I expected nothing.<\/p>\n

The same, however, can\u2019t be said for my partners in cyber-crime, Panda and John. They know the show inside out. They were excited to play this. They were ready to fall in love with the game, the characters, the combat\u2026 everything.<\/p>\n

They were wrong. So very wrong. This game offended them greatly, which obviously, made me super happy! Truth be told, we all lost that day, but in the end, at least my childhood wasn\u2019t utterly crushed and trampled on, so\u2026 I guess I win by default?<\/p>\n

Yeah, that\u2019s what I\u2019m gonna stick with. That\u2019s really the only way I can sleep at night anymore. Enjoy?<\/p>\n
