An overly philosophical name of a blog, don't you think? Anyhoo, just wanted to say Merry Christmas to all you Gamespot users. Rest assured, the year wouldn't have been the same without you people. Thanks for taking the time to read my blog and, in the case of my fellow union members, having intelligent conversation about gaming as a whole. Also, have a happy New Year! I'll be starting to write full force after the holidays, whether it be reviews or a long-due continuation of my top 150 list. Don't worry, I haven't given it up! I've just been way too busy.

Also, I've never been prouder of being a Gamespot user than after seeing some of the results of the GotY awards as awarded by the GS staff. Not only do their decisions pretty much synch with mine, but they really think this through in an unbiased, intelligent manner. Cheers GS, and thanks for everything! :D

Edit: *sigh* But then I saw the Platform Awards. OK, DS: Extraction winning NSMB Wii is hard enough to understand (I did love Extraction, though), but even though I love Demon's Souls, there is no way it should beat Uncharted 2. OK, they gave it because Uncharted 2 will win GotY (obviously), but come on!!! And GTA: CTW winning both DS and PSP Platform Awards.....I'm going to cry now.

Edit 2: NNNOOOOOOOOOOO! Uncharted 2 lost! Bummer... Look, I really like Demon's Souls, but Gamespot...what's the meaning of this?! A 9,0 game beats four 9,5 games!? I fail to see the logic.
