We live in a time where options for the consumption of entertainment media is extremely saturated. We have never had more choice.
So much so, that the general person typically requires a significantly high level of encouragement from a variety of sources to reach the threshold of “giving in” to a recommendation by consuming the piece of media in question.
The problem is, the threshold is so high, that by the time one “gives in” they are often disappointed, as often no piece of media is able to meet the exaggerated levels of hype required to push the person to consume it in the first place.
Thus, the human race is effectively broken in our capacity to effectively deliver recommendations as there only exists two states. Underselling, and overselling.

Get the ghost recon 2 mug.Noun. When a bro is totally forgiven for a douche-like act and all is well. The bro in question has apologized for doing something lame and made up with his bros and paid his dues. When Brotal Reconciliation has been achieved it is customary for all bros in the extended area to binge drink and listen to Chumba Wumba and Jack Johnson together.
"Blake was being shady, so we were totally un-bro for awhile. But then he apologized so I put him on Brobation, and then he gave me a case of bud light as a half-birthday present (he was only informed it was my half-birthday by looking at facebook and going 6 months back from my next birthday, of course), and he has henceforth achieved Brotal Reconciliation. He is my manbrother and I love him.
