Yeah, that happens a lot. Flowers also tend to wilt and windows frost over.

PARANOID? WHO TOLD YOU THAT?!??! I concede that, sir, and appreciate the civilized tenor of your rebuttal. I'll be the first to admit that GameSpot's size means it caters to a mass audience, and NMA caters to a rarefied demographic. As such, those results reflect a mass gaming audience...

Nice link! Tell me more of this "forum jargon." I am intrigued, sir. (Pulls out pipe, dons smoking jacket.) Oh, is that what this place is? An equal platform where you guys edit my comments and put words in my mouth, and don't acknowledge my points? I made that suggestion in the hopes that...

Yeah, those results are disheartening. But hopefully FO3 will introduce all the young 'uns to the series. Oh, and nice dig @ GS, there brother none. Is this part of your vendetta against us or are you just miffed because your earl grey tea was tepid this morning?

For the billionth time, it was a joke and if you can't take one then to hell with ya. Second, if you want me to answer your accusations/assuage your fears on the air during next week's taping of the HotSpot podcast, send an e-mail to hotspot@gamespot.com or leave a voicemail at 877-506-8324...

I can take it, and withdraw my previous statement. I take great umbrage at that statement. though, sadly, many of our readers don't know much about it, most of our editors played and loved the first two games. Hey, like I said before, I had great respect for this site until its members...

Not the first time I've heard that. Well 1.7 million people bought Oblivion in the US alone and a lot of people enjoyed it. Back up the manure spreader. Again, I never said I don't like turn-based RPGs. Nor did I say that it would be bad for Fallout 3 to be turn-based. KOTOR was great...

Yeah I'm really dodging your inquiries by coming onto your site and directly answering them with statistics from NPD. What a chickenshit I am! Oh you got me, you wily fellow. Curses! *twirls mustache* I am saying that--see above statements. You're putting words in my mouth. I never said...

I never used the word "majority" nor have ever said that 'most" people want that. I said "many." According to NPD, over 1.7 million people had bought oblivion in the US as of April 2007. Of those, I would wager at least 50%--850,000 people--enjoyed the game. I would also wager that those people...

Well, this leads me to one of my favorite quotes: "Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke." And by "'em" I mean, you specifically, Karak.

Re; Your blog, briosafreak: You are taking things way too personally. I am not pushing an oblivion with mutants game nor am I coming after NMA. "Many in the Fallout community felt that this poll and a general bias against Fallout fans that aren’t interested in a Fallout: Oblivion with...

I agree with you TOTALLY on POS. I hated that game, and the fact we gave it a positive review calls in our whole rating system. However, I don't review games, I only do news. So my cries of protest went unheard. Re: Oblivion, you raise some vald points. The skill system I foudn very...

a) Yes, as a diehard fan of Fallout 1 & 2 my sole purpose in life is to mock my peers. Please. b) we quibble over semantics, sir. However, given that Obliv is Bethesda's most recent game, the latter term seems more apropos.

a) Sorry you feel that way. Being in a public forum requires you take the slings and arrows. (offers bow) b) That's a little obvious, methinks.

When Greg K worked here, he and I saw eye-to-eye on almost every game review--with a few exceptions. The biggest one was this. I actually stepped into his office after playing POS and asked him how he could give it a semi-decent review. He said that on its own merits, as a dungeon crawl set in a...
