    289: My Nintendo Shame

    See: the corner Nintendo was backed into. Sure, it's their fault; as much as it would be anyone's fault who was forced to pick a number of imperfect solutions in a bad situation. And it remains pretty funny when people blame Nintendo for terrible 3rd party support, when it's been clear from...

    289: My Nintendo Shame

    The article is charming and makes me imagine Matt Cassamania if he was: A. a girl, and B. not quote so much a lunatic raving troll-disguised-as-fanboy. Still, this is the wrong year for it. When Nintendo publishes Galaxy 2, Metroid Other M, Donkey Kong Country Returns, and a new Kirby...

    200: A Griefer's Life for Me

    To be fair, in anything, there is a time and place for it. Ironically, I wouldn't wholly call what the article describes merely "griefing" in the derogatory sense. The author here is describing an honest to goodness high grade /prank/. There's nothing inherently wrong or objectionable about a...

    Editor's Note: Good Griefing

    The standard disclaimer trolls and griefers use - lol we are teaching you to not take yourself seriously - reminds me a bit of the old disclaimer we used to see on websites offering direct downloads of copyrighted MP3 files: "These files are intended to be used for demonstration purposes only...
