What? It really is fun! You should try it sometime.

 Meh, there's my lame title for the day, no song lyric excerpts or typically topic-describing headers - just the pure fact that tabbed browsing is fun. Whether the fact appeals to you or not, its undeniable, right?

 Well, today's blog is going to be centred around one theme... for once, I'm not going to endlessly rant on about the nuances of my day or whatever, because I know I bore you with that. I don't have an interesting life, I'm afraid.

So today, I'm going to talk about gamespot. Thats right, this very website, whats good about it, what isn't, why I am still here, how I discovered this site, and all that random junk... all chucked into a blog. Sounds like good reading? If you think this blog sounds like good reading, press 1. If you think this blog is going to be crap, press 2. If you like apples, press 3.

 If you pressed 1, please read on.
 If you pressed 2, go find another blog.
 If you pressed 3, you clearly have your priorities right. Now go and eat an apple, and enjoy it!

 Actually I think I've done a blog about this sort of issue once, but it was quite vague and I only outlined the pluses about gamespot and not the list of downsides I have in store for you today. Tahts right, the problems with Gamespot are there, glaringly obvious, there for all to see.

 Well, its quite common these days for users to refer to GameSpot as GlitchSpot. Quite a fitting name, I must admit. Wherever you look on the site, there will always be a flaw, no matter the size. Forum posting can be slow and messages can be delayed in their appearance, blogs can mysteriously vanish only to appear two hours later... its like a haunted house, you never know when a floorboard is going to creak eerily (or in this case, somebody turning Level 1 momentarily before materializing properly as if nothing had happened)

 Sometimes the glitches can really get on my nerves (and other people's too) but I think we all live with it, and I don't know anybody who has suddenly left gamespot because they're fed up of these error pages and glitches. Well, thats probably because there are an overriding list of good things on this wonderful site!

 Blogs, for me, are one of these things, one of the best. I always like cutting about half an hour out of my day just to write in this very journal of mine, whether its droning on about life in general or rare, one-off themed blogs like this one (which i really need to do more of, admittedly) I just like writing, simple as that... which leads me to reviews. I've been absent from the reviewing scene for too long, but i guess, judging by the lengthy list you can view by clicking on the "All My Reviews" hyperlink on the bottom of this page, y'know I really like expressing my opinion on games. Its just hit me that I should do more expressing of opinions in this blog too, but thats another story.

 Posting in unions and forums is also very addictive - unions personally for me. Face it, debating with strangers isn't as fun as discussing with users you know well to varying degrees, there's always a sense of "this feels like home" in unions you're familiar with. Forums are just dark places full of random fanboys who like nothing more tahn shouting "NINTENDO ROCK" in their signatures and doing three-word lines in every post. Unions are much more relaxed, mature, and lots of other adjectives that all generally mean "great."

 So I guess those three things are the main reasons why stevenscott14 is still in your neighbourhood, however frequently he visits and however much he wavers in his enthusiasm for this site, he will never leave.

 I'm talking in the third person again. *slaps self*

 So how did stevenscott - wait - I come to be in this neighbourhood? Well, that leads back to me randomly browsing GameRankings.com for opinions on the game... Pariah, as it stands. I found one review that agreed with me harshly, and that was gamespot's. IGN gave it an 8, which was ridiculous, but Gamespot gave it the mediocre score it deserved, adn I respected that. So I joined, started writing reviews myself, the occasional blog or forum post, and here I am. what a brief but intriguing story.

 And now it is getting late, and my hands are starting to scream with fatigue. I'll continue this train of thought tomorrow, maybe, or I'll just leave it at that. You see, your blog is truly YOURS, and I like that. I really do.

 Thanks for reading, 
 - scott, signing out.
