the muffin man doesn't even know what irony is...

Anyway, Kosmo, since I apparently won't receive any answers to this: <<<"Your phrase 'I would say we should stop using that country as a reference' [...] Coming from someone who reviewed a game like TeamICO, may I allow myself a smirk?">>> then I'll give you four smiles for good measure, but I would invite you to keep in mind that:
1) The game is not Team ICO but Shadow of the Colossus; Team ICO is the team that developed it (not a big deal—I understood perfectly what you meant, but oh well).
2) As already pointed out by Panico, Team ICO is a group of developers from Sony, a Japanese company, led by one Fumito Ueda, a typical Japanese name, and operates in Japan. In short, to make a long story short, the game you mentioned (more or less) is a Japanese game through and through. This doesn't mean that I particularly appreciate Japanese culture, by the way, but definitely, the fact that I reviewed this game does not mean that I swallow every kind of nonsense produced by the United States... therefore, your sarcastic phrase is irrelevant. (I hope I managed to clarify myself without being offensive, and I hope you read this message sooner or later).

I'm not being pompous, I'd appreciate an explanation... an explanation that isn't coming, by the way. Panic, it seems to me that kosmo doesn't need you as a spokesperson...

In addition to life expectancy having increased, in the past people died of fevers, whereas today they die from hundreds of diseases that existed back then but had not yet been discovered... then I don't know if the book actually mentions the medical side of death... but it's another consideration that seems reasonable to me.
kosmo, can you explain it to me???

break the compliments were 2. for the form and the substance. 5

However, no matter how obvious it may be, one cannot forget YMCA! Damn it!

And let it be TEAM ICO! (thank goodness I prefer it too, but I realize it's complicated to find the names of the studios that developed older games... wouldn't it perhaps be better to include just the title of the game? Or even better, the title of the game and the title of the review? This way, users would be encouraged to give a more personal touch to the review, and it seemed to me that this was the purpose of the deludiche... of course, it's just a suggestion that you are free to ignore.) Regards

I would give you another five for making me discover this record!

I am still waiting for clarifications from Kosmogambe.

<<<"taking the United States as a reference point in the way of understanding life is really the last thing I intend to do">>> My comment regarding the US was NOT about you in particular (do I have to repeat it again? :) ) but it was my personal consideration (when have I ever done that...).
<<<"By the way, excuse me, among the many useless statistical surveys conducted by reputable local institutes, this doesn't seem to be the stupidest...">>> On this, there is no doubt.
