I have not visited the competition in months.

I was a paid subscriber for 5 years, and that equates to about 200$ which were wasted now when I think about it. Those 200$ could have bought several cases of beer or bottles of halfway acceptable Absinthe.

Normally, I don't rant about game sites. I don't even discuss games, nor do I blog. It had not occurred to me until earlier this year with a few very pitiful reviews of some huge Nintendo releases that perhaps Cashwhore had become pitifully slanted towards its advertisers or certain major console manufacturers.

In fact, I had not even bothered to really look for another game/review website to visit. However, several articles lead me here today. I had a William Gibson moment of inverse clarity tracing my way through other peoples Google'ing work to find myself at a more clear perspective on the outwardly strange. If Gerst WAS fired over Kane & Lynch then God save Gerst for doing the right thing.

/rant off

I'm currently playing SMB Galaxy, Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles, and I just picked up Trigger Heart Excelica for my Dreamcast.

1 Star left in SMBG and I have barely played RE:TUC but it seems slightly promising.

Noticed the Virtual Console releases for this week included Eternal Champions which brings back all sorts of High School memories. Mostly sitting on Patrick's floor passing a half empty bottle of vodka between rounds before we went whoring for the evening. Yeah, I'm just gonna have to pick that one up.

I remember playing Eternal Champions when I was 12 and crying because I couldn't beat the last boss.

New users should look up to you, cause you actually know how to write a "I'm new" blog. Welcome! There's two rules:

1. Don't Suck
2. Never click on a link that's given by electro lemon

Your taste buds can't repel flavor of this magnitude!

Well try as he might it is to no avail, as I block tinyurl on my local firewall.

Thanks for the round of "welcome," I'll do my best to be active here as work & wife permit.
