Five bumpy ass years, count them.
Has it been that long ? Wow. I've only been around for four of the five years and have a warm fuzzy feeling when it comes to the tavern and it's users. At first it opened the world of import gameing to me ( saturn is still a 2D beast ), but then as I started to make friends it became more of a second home.
I can rememebr spending many O hours in the tavern chatting away about this game or that, much to the dismay of my now defunct wife =). What I rememebr most is Rob fighting with everyone else in the tavern except a few of us. LOL. I am supprized I kept up with all the server jumps. I have chatted long into the night with some of you and will probabaly always rememeber you. A few names do stick out in my memory. While I dont stop by much anymore, I do make it a point to once in a while. Here's to it *toast the tavern* Thanks everyone.

Many of the people that read gamefan and the things you work on now think you have a great job. One thing that ticks a lot of people off about that is that in comparison to the rest of the gamefan staff, you were probably the most depressive and wussy acting of all of them. You always seemed to have some emotional turmoil that lay underneath just about everything you did.
Why would that bother others if you were having a problem you may ask. It goes back to what I started out saying in the first place, many people think you have a great job. So most just can't see how you could always seem so unhappy, and thus think you didn't deserve the job.
Alright, this is stupid. Right here you admit that all the shidoshi-hating that goes on based based purely on JEALOUSY.
"You have my dream job, but you're not happy, so I hate you! Wah-wah-wah!"
Know how many rockstars are unhappy? Lots. Just because you achieve "fame", doesn't mean you're satisfied. All kinds of other things happen outside of one's career. Also, I would hardly qualify working for a videogame magazine as being a celebrity: your entire "fanbase" is composed of fanboys who will turn on you in an instant if you give a certain game the wrong score.

Another thing that bothers a lot of people is the way you like to ride the anime fanboy fence. It aggravates a lot of people to read several articles written by you that would all most make you seemed upsest with the said thing of the article, for you to only later act as if anime or gaming had nothing to do with your life. You spend a great deal of time promoting niche nerdy genres of things, and then later pull a complete 180 and act like it amounts to almost nill in your life. You constantly doing this makes you come off two-faced and unreliable in the reviews and articles you write. Just exactly how much faith can be placed in the review of someone who acts like the thing as a hole really doesn't matter to him?
Oh, please...
Not everyone operates on the "NERDCORE 24/7" rule that seems to apply in these forums. There is life outside of games. If your entire life is games, then you're a pretty hollow individual.
You seem to live in some fantasy world where people are defined by their career.
Now, who's to blame in this argument? A magazine editor who has interests outside his field of writing and tries to distance himself from the fringe extreme, or some nerdcore fanboy who thinks that editor doesn't "deserve" to write about it because he doesn't sit in a cave and grow mushrooms behind his ears from watching anime and playing games all day?
