You have just compelled me to vote for the Escapist on a matter I previously couldn't be bothered to do

Those comments have made my day. Sheer hilarity, thats what it is.
They are pretty funny. How can Gamespot compete with The Escapist? It can't. The Escapist is a better site for a reason and that it we are not snobs like the the spotters are.

I am so stealing that.
Witty comments cannot be stolen - only spread.

Me too! Well done Max!

Anywho, these folks in the OP, like the YouTube commentors, are further proof that their should be a license to post on the internet to weed out the dim.
Why not just cut to the chase and neuter people who are clearly unfit to have children?
I'll do the neutering. *gets out a pair of boltcutters*

Anyway, does anyone have any decent explanation for this? My only theory is that the Gamespot forums are filled with frat boys and ten year olds while we fine Escapists sip chardonnay in velvet robes, seated in plush leather chairs, as we enjoy our finest pick of games.
Wow you managed to /thread in the op.

Well your last sentence there made everyone on the escapist sound like such foppish twats. I think your point is that we here tend to know better. This is true, dont be surprised that a lot of people dont, then again its their opinion and they are entitled to love gamespot, would you rather have all those people on here if gamespot didnt exist?
I agree wholeheartedly.

I don't sip chardonnay, or wear velvet robes...

I drink green tea and wear a silk robe. Yeesh.
I know who would wear velvet far too common only fit for wiping ones arse with I wear Summit myself. But let rift raft whine all they like so long as don't set foot in our estate can just close the curtains and enjoy this fine vintage of scotch. But I fear they will come to complain that lost to our superiority and try foolishly to make selves known not that could tell them apart the dirty commoners and foolishly try troll. Lucky I hear the gentlemen of the house carries their ban hammers at all times and have starved the dogs in readiness for their assault. *clean monocle then carries on playing tf2*

ugh can't keep that act up, but anyway I found it entertaining reading some of them really should listen to Mr period from PA last Monday some of them.

Ah, people bitching about people bitching about us. Y'all realise that makes you no different to them, right?

It's all completely irrelevant to the final outcome of the competition, so why not just ignore it? Each to his own, an' all that. If they prefer their site, that's up to them... there's no need to stoop to the level of childish insults just because they did.

Those kinds of movies are often terrible.

Must you be so crude?
...Use hedge trimmers.
Only takes one snip that way.
Or we could just use a blowtorch? More fun and I love the smell of burning flesh in the morning.

-Why would you vote for this site? How did it get in the lead? Stick w/ GAMESPOT all the way!!!!

-This site blows so much!!!! I break my monitor when i see it!

-it ***s its not nearly as good as gamespot

-Gamespot should be the one to win this. The most obvious reason is because it is AWSOME!!!!!!!

-You site is *** compared to gamespot

-I dont like the layout of the site.. dont know about user support because im not registered there and usually dont visit it. Its sad that they have to use a google custom search engine... i voted gamespot.. dont know how the guys at The Escapist roll but at gamespot thes spend alot of effort into reviewing games and presenting them - mainly because they are payed for it.

-Ripoff of Gamespot.. GAMESPOT FOR NUMBER1!!!
As Yahtzee says, 'Go team retard!'

My bathrobe is only velour and I never close it. Also, I smoke a corncob pipe.

Hmm well Gamespots reviews are usually wrong. Either that or their reviewers are such the reverse of my personality that they think games I find good are bad and vise versa for the most part.

I once ventured in their forums; it made me think of fallout 3's opening line.

When Age of Conan came out I had a reviewer from Gamespot in my guild I started their. He was a total douchebag. He did feature our guild in his review though. Game was really fun until the novelty wore off.
I liked it until level 20, I've never seen anyone mention that since it came out but you.

Oh OP, my plebeian friend. Anyone who's anybody knows not to drink that hog swill Chardonnay. You must simply get with the times and buy yourself a crate of the finest Cristal. Nothing washes down foie gras like a nice Cristal. And as for the implication that I would wear anything less than the finest silk robe, well, I am simply insulted good OP. You act as if you only have your first million dollars. *chortle*
