So you're saying that all games are now just dust in the wind? Dust. Wind. Dude.

With few exceptions yep. I wish I had kept the response from about 8-10 years ago when I first complained about the rising dominance of PT claptrap. They suggested I play BB and SD which "are completely free from such content". Yeah, OK.....
Really what's left when all the general knowledge games, regardless of purported level, are becoming more and more dominated by jejune minutiae about what is spewed onto screens and airwaves to entertain slack-jawed passive mobs? Lexitopia isn't really trivia. I enjoy it, but it's a different animal entirely. Occasionally we'll get a Thursday Topix where the writer can restrain themselves from asking about a song or movie loosely concerning the subject (strangely, Playback writers never seem to do the reverse - "So and so got a gold record for Such and Such. What is gold's atomic number?" to my knowledge has never been seen). Pains me to admit it but probably the little-played Sports games are all that remain, and they delve into such pointless arcana to be no fun for a normal sports watcher who eschews almanacs and historical records.
