I've never been one to catch this site's midday podcasts. I've checked them out for a minute here and there; probably a combined total of seven minutes, all told.

After watching Start/Select yesterday for the first time, I realize that if gamespot's heirarchy had decided which show would stay and which would go by means of a host vs. host bench press competition, SYNC would still exist.

Got back into Demon's Souls recently. Bought - actually pre-ordered - the extra special artbook edition back when it was released, as a matter of fact. Extraordinary game.

And that Cursed Crusade game really has my interest piqued.

Yeah. Atlus.

Good stuff.

I thought about buying the Resident Evil 4 HD edition on PSN, but after looking at the images, I know every single screen shot by heart. I guess I've played it too much (if there is such a thing) and just have to keep my happy memories.

It'll always be my #2, all time behind Gran Turismo 2.

I will be buying Crysis, though, because I love me some first person shooters so bad. Sorry to be part of the problem.

The new Syndicate being an fps doesn't bother me and I'll be there on day one. I love Starbreeze and I think their graphics are a half-generation ahead of the standard in most cases. I also, apparently, love me some cyberpunk, because it looks like a better Deus Ex than Deus Ex if the screen shots are any indication.

If your avatar is the generic "Circle-G", I summarily ignore and/or discount your opinion in any and all forums.

When you say you're leaving gamespot, I immediately "untrack" you (if you say you are leaving and don't leave, or worse, set your account to private, I will immediately hate you) and by the way, I hate the term "follow" and refuse to recognize it. You are not Jesus. You do not make the rules which govern my life. I hate how every "internet thing" is marketed with vaguely effeminate names and any word that is remotely aggressive/proactive is being replaced with some mamby pamby passive term. I hope others are noticing this.

Yuppies ruin everything.

Alway have. Always will.

There is no such thing as an obsolete game or genre. I wish dumbass developers and gaming execs would understand this when they try to explain why every classic RPG or strategy series redux comes out as an FPS.

Gaming execs and developers actually would do well to never open their mouths, really.

I have rediscovered Bud Ice. It is a good, cheap, tasty beer.

Fin.
