First got into the Critic after I watched his NORTH review. I found it funny, informative, and his references to LOTR just won my undying loyalty right there. Granted, I've had my points where I've disagreed with him in the past (such as, for example, his criticism of Peter Jackson's LOTR), but even so, he's awesome. :) (And really, he seemed to have liked Peter Jackson's LOTR overall, aside from some really weird decisions. *Is surprised he hasn't brought up Frodo sending away Sam at Cirith Ungol or Faramir going into Boromir, V2 mode, but...what the hell. XD*)
Loved his reviews of MORTAL KOMBAT: ANNIHILATION, BATMAN AND ROBIN, etc (don't we all? :). Didn't like his review of A KID IN KING ARTHUR'S COURT or his review of DOUBLE DRAGON too much (if only because I didn't think the Double Dragon movie -- from what I saw -- was that bad. I mean, it's bad, but it's not the fricking Antichrist).
Went into a bit of a Linkara phase, but managed to love Critic dearly as well. Got irked when some people decided to compare them because of that.
Kind of came down with a terminal case of hero worship after Linkara's DOOMS IV #1/2 review (when I ran to Critic's QUEST FOR CAMELOT review for comfort. It...made a little more sense back then. :). Went through a Mama Bear phase coupled with a Linkara hate high...I got better, though. :) Still won't hesitate to rise to the Critic's defense if he needs one, though. For example, the idiots on the TGWTG Dethroning Moment of Suck page who criticized the Christmas Special for no other reason than to just rip into Critic (or so it seemed. :/). And Kickassia (OF COURSE! /M. Bison reference).
I think he's had his stupid stupid moments in his reviews (the "Let 'em rot" joke in the POUND PUPPIES review, that is. I know he didn't mean it, but...it struck a nerve. :/), but overall, he's never really disappointed me. Despite what some of the Fan Dumb says, I think he's been consistently awesome, both in-character and out. :)
