Deus Ex is fantastic. So is Yoshi's Island. Like I said, it's not hard to force cynicism for a little free publicity on message boards.

And now you're crying about behaviour that's frighteningly similar to your own, only better written.

When Diff, Yoshi, Ninjas or any of us cool kids tell you something sucks its because we love you.

GI is telling you because they want money and publicity.

TNL > GI

And yet, I can see why it would impress Yoshi.

I thought it was cute, but you guys seem to be saying that it was possibly halfway serious. If that is the case...you know. Lollercoaster.

That just broke g0zen's heart. Despite his f-chan-ish tendencies, he desperately wants to be in your little clique.

But on the upside, it does look like a coloring book.. which is appealing if you're five years old.
