Spacey does good work doesn’t he? :-)
Angel: I long ago abandoned all hope for Fox News to show any kind of journalistic integrity (or do ANY research) on anything they cover.
The whole Mass Effect drama brought back memories of good ol’ Jack Thompson. I actually went through penny-arcade’s news archive to find their whole back-and-forth with him – culminating in them donating $10,000 to charity in his name and him throwing lawsuits at them. That was a great day for gamers. :-)
At least the ambulance chaser had the sense stay out of this one.
Jonathan: Wouldn’t the syphilis be worth it though?
No. No probably not. But you would definitely have the bragging rights.

I don't think I'd get points for banging a blue chick. I would probably get Syphilis, though.

I love Star Wars Lego! Not quite as much as I love the new American Idol karaoke game. That’s right, I’ll admit it! I bought that game and am loving every second of it. If you enjoy American Idol, you should check it out too. :)

I was particularly disturbed by two things wth the Mass Effect debacle. First, the fact that someone that makes their living as an author would go on a big name news cast and spout ramblings as an “expert” about a subject that she admits she knows absolutely nothing about. It doesn’t exactly add to your credibility for your profession. If she was a fiction author, that would be one thing. But she isn’t. How anybody can purchase one of her books now I just don’t understand.

Second, the entire piece was so obviously biased from the very beginning. They were simply trying to make a point and disguising it as something else. I was shocked they would bring someone on that actually knew something about the game (the video game gentleman) and not even give him two uninterrupted seconds to state his side. News today is so about presenting the side they want to, it is repulsive.

So there’s my mini rant, LOL … and thank you so much for your kind words. I appreciated it. :)

Haha! It isn’t a certain poster of Cortana is it? Because he already has that one, he showed it to me a couple of months ago when he got it, it’s pretty nice but I don’t really see Cortana like that so it made me kinda sad (she’s sassy and intelligent, not ‘omg t-bag me now!’).

Er, perhaps that was too much. :D

I’m saddened that he mentioned American Idol, I’m just a lazy TV viewer who doesn’t change channels, I can’t help if it’s always on. T_T

Erm, back to topic… Damn, all the rage flew out of me since I last typed my post (Playing city building games does that, being Emperor is relaxing) but I really did want to slap the lady in the blue top. She went from telling us that “The team who came together to rate this game ‘needed their heads examined’” to “Maybe I feel old but what happened to Pac-man?”

… So, you’ve just stated in your last comment that you have no idea about computer games since the 80′s yet they’ve brought you on this panel to throw your thoughts about willy nilly.

Uh huh…

It’s once of those interviews that you could attack each and every sentence that’s said and be pretty much 100% correct. Tried to rant about it to Jim028 but he’s too happy playing Star Wars Lego.

Also like to add that I’m really enjoying your blog, kept seeing it on Jim’s macbook and he kept talking about you, being that you are a fellow girl gamer piped my interest and here I am! Your entries are refreshing and honest that T-Bag card has caught my eye on several occasions.

Hey, I was wondering if you were the “Fee” that Jim references! I have heard about your anime collection. Hey may want a certain poster as well next payday. LOL … (ducks and hides)

And please, feel free to rant away. I don’t mind the direction that comments go. The most interesting conversations tend to break out. I would love to hear your views. We can take turns bitching about it. :)
