Is this another masturbation euphamism?

It's possible to think that the games you love are all freakin' amazing and awesome without having to slap the "Best Game Ever" label on them, no?  Best X Ever for anything is a meaningless category.  At most it's just a way of saying, "I really, really, really love this game, and you should too."

  Exactly.  The absurdity of this irrational cry has a certain puzzling interest (maybe).  Sometimes the leaps from one game to another are revealing.  for example,  I pretty much went from Skyrim ( a fantastic game -- but it reminded me once more why I had not played an RPG in decades) to DCS World because I wanted something of an non-Skyrim nature.  By pure luck, DCS world turned out to be very cool and more like my usual run of games.  I was so relieved that the "best game ever" feeling actually felt like a return to my usual mode of thought and vague assessment rather than my confused response to Skyrim (which was tinged by a "and this is why I quit playing games like this" thing.

not at all.  I have yet to find a convergence of all the things I love about gaming in any other game.

If Grogheads ever got a "headquarters," it makes me think it'll be just like the home base for some of those debauched freak super-hero groups from the comic series, The Boys.

If you read comics and you don't know what I'm talking about, check it out. If you don't read comics, you should start with this, since you're a bunch of sick bastards anyway.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Boys_(comics)

The series is set between 2006–2008 in a world where superheroes exist. However, most of the superheroes in the series' universe are corrupted by their celebrity status and often engage in reckless behavior, compromising the safety of the world. For this reason, a superpowered CIA squad, known informally as "The Boys", is charged with monitoring the superhero community.

Ennis has said that the series would "out-Preacher Preacher", presumably referring to the extreme violence and sexuality that were that series' hallmark, and that the series would end with its seventy-second issue.

Everyone knows the best PC game ever is Bioshock: Infinite. And its made by Irrational Games, noted in your OP :)

No.  No.  No.  Not even in the top 100 games of the last 5 years.

If we're picking super heroes Gus has got "dwarf who lives in the basement and gets no sex man" nailed right down

First two parts are true but The Wife's resistance to my charms has collapsed in the last week.

And Bison, how dare you. HOW DARE YOU SIR! Bioshock: Infinite is fantastic.

[Bison]

No it isn't.  It's a semi-pile of mediocre crappola.

[Gusington]

No way.

But this illustrates the point...arguing about such relative awesomeosity vs. crapitude is in vain.
