Tumblr, mostly.
I have not been on Tumblr recently, because I've been relegated to public computers and my Tumblr dash has porn on it, so I wouldn't be able to give you the view from Tumblr at this time.
I'm around usually since I'm part of the roleplaying community and a casual member of the HS community, but I've been distant as of late due to college entrance exams. Most of my views come from quick glances here and there and things said by others.

Ah, I wasn't saying that. I should have quoted you, my bad.
I was responding specifically to your description of them as "a site who's been ridiculed just because it reviews games from a more conservative christian viewpoint". I don't think that's the case at all. They're getting made fun of because they remind people of Mazes and Monsters, 90s parents condemning Pokemon as demonic, and plenty of other outdated attitudes that only exist in the gaming community as the butt of jokes.

I believe a site can appear more rational while doing that, but it's an illusion. Just like splitting your review into gameplay/graphics/replayability (or any other sub-criteria) doesn't actually make your review any less subjective.
I do understand what you say, and I see it in some of their reviews. It's rather divided, for me; that Pokémon review completely strays from the point and it begins being all about fearful "occult" bashing, yet in their RDR review any concerns on violence and swearing are put in the end of the review, and racism actually takes points out of morality, so I'm just guessing the people who review have radically different views from time to time.
But indeed, being truly impartial is impossible, but a divided score seems like a step in the right direction.

That seems really good. I'll be sure to pick it up, then.
The anti-videogame and anti-book protesters do attack you regardless of what you do however.
BTW, have any of you seen Postal the movie? It's surprisingly tame; it's got a decent amount of violence and tasteless humor (there's, for example, one scene where the director of the movie is doing a TV interview and explaining how all of his movies are funded with Nazi gold), but not nearly as much as the game.
Isn't it Uwe Boll though? He's kinda renowned for making shitty videogame movies.
