As You Know, F.A.T.A.L. is known as the worst tabletop game ever written.
The story goes that author Byron Hall, along with his "contributors" Torturon, Burnout and Psychotic Messanger of Doom, trolled the forums at RPGnet, causing the community there to request a review as negative and abrasive as reviews can get. The result is an MST of the game's sourcebook, in which Darren McLennan and Jason Sartin savage FATAL, its creators, and its fans.
The McLennan/Sartin review can be found here. Hall and Burnout posted a rebuttal to the review, found here.

McLennan: Also, for x=(c)(number of words in review)*ycc+kill me you fucks kill me. |

Don't Try This At Home: Sartin helpfully informs the audience that they are professionals, and that you should not try projectile-vomiting blood at home. Insult to Rocks: The self-advertised "best line of the review":

Sartin: So, basically, saying that this game should be burned is an insult to fire. |
|
Queer People Are Funny: Defied. McLennan is decidedly not amused when he discovers that the lowest possible rating for Vocal Charisma is "gay".
|
McLennan: Good for them, because I was just thinking "Wow, this game is complete shit and its authors are complete shit, but I wanted a soupçon of homophobia to go along with it. |

By the way, did I mention that this book is 900 pages long? |

So Bad It's Horrible: The agreed upon consensus.
Take That: Copious amounts, dished out at the creators and any fans of the game.
