More anti-boss rhetoric

It's a neverending spiral of scorn. NetJak's sardonic features got me thinking about irritants in video games, which led to me decrying the use of bosses in videogames. Now NetJak has returned the volley, initially inspired by them, citing said decrying as inspiration. (I think this is where we're all supposed to hold hands and skip giddily into the sunset. Or perhaps not.)

This piece, however, doesn't condemn the use of bosses to anywhere near the degree I did. (Which is probably the more rational approach to be quite honest.) However, it does raise more good points about what's bad with boss battles. (Plus they get bonus points for invoking the holy trilogy near the end.)

After reading the piece, I now have a huge urge to hunt down and play Earthworm Jim 2.
