1: That Hall and his fanboi friend are like most other people - they've taken their position and refuse to budge, preventing any rational discussion and turning it into an exchange of insults. (their rebuttals amounts to "no, you")

2: That Hall and his fanboi friend are also probably brain-damaged. They show absolutely no signs of knowing what humor and sarcasm are while making several patently absurd arguments and throwing accusations everywhere. - Oddsod {{Unsigned|24.176.86.200|01:01, 19 June 2005}}

I downloaded the FATAL "sample" last night, thinking that the stuff mentioned in the review was hyperbole and satire and was shocked to find that...well, it actually is in the book.

:If that's the case, Byron Hall and Burnout are the greatest trolls in the world, hands down.

I understand their desire to include every horror imaginable on Earth for "completeness" and "realism", but it's one thing to use rape/abuse/racism as a story-telling mechanic to display suffering and tragedy, and it's another to include a ruleset in order to exploit and benefit from these acts. Yes, rape/abuse/racism occurs and it is real and horrible, but enabling a player to do it doesn't promote any sort of freedom or completeness. Thoughts?

:Enabling a player to do something doesn't promote freedom? Sounds like BS to me. The more options players have, the more freedom they have. [[User:Tyciol|Tyciol]] ([[User talk:Tyciol|talk]]) 22:29, 7 July 2014 (PDT)

http://tinyurl.com/FatalReviewRebuttal could also be useful, it was archived in June, August and November. I guess it was posted April 10 and removed April 13 that might not help though. But it shows the URL was being passed around, at least. [[Special:Contributions/184.145.18.50|184.145.18.50]] 21:05, 24 February 2016 (PST)

The original RPG.net review has a new link: https://www.rpg.net/reviews/archive/14/14567.phtml
 
No need for the Wayback version anymore! [[Special:Contributions/24.150.34.173|24.150.34.173]] 18:28, 3 December 2019 (PST)

===I only just found out about this game===
 
If you ask me, [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=7ixhxjqoe9swz1xv4bxgw5h0 this TVTropes forum thread]] has been more educational to me on this game than any review (Wraith_Magus' posts especially thoroughly tear into the system). Byron Hall must be a hack in his own class to devise something so filthy, convoluted, blatantly offensive and ill-thought-out. Worse yet, he tries to pass himself off as an educated man but he has no fucking idea how to defend his work other than playing tennis with the things other people say. He must've been the kind of guy even old-school nerds wouldn't hang around in school. The kind of kid who read Witchblade thinking it was the greatest gift to art since the Mona Lisa. However, since it's been over 15 years, I hope (against hope) that he has matured and if he ever looks back on the horror he wrought, it's in shame.[[Special:Contributions/189.95.17.94|189.95.17.94]] 11:36, 30 June 2020 (PDT)
