HEY! Don't mess with Spike, those Highlander reruns are the only thing keeping me going this season!

That, or it's a subtle commentary on the subjectivity and fundamentally flawed chemistry of the 'Best of' list genre.

Though, you're probably right. I have been feeling mentally ill of late.

I lent my PS2 to someone for two months and for about a month of that I forgot I didn't have it anymore. I would have noticed if there were any games worth playing at the time.

Anyways, excellent article old chap. I'll look forward to the lavish awards I'm sure will be heaped on my lap in part two!

Certis beat me to it. - Elysium

That whole article is like a great joke that I wish I could remember. There are so many good lines of trash talk that I'm going be full of evil giggling for the rest of the week.

For the "loser who hacked Valve" I think you could have also included something about his man-tits or "hacking with one hand." That would have been funny. Also, I would like to reveal first on GWJ that I am buying Microsoft.

At first I was worried you might actually be doing a best of list, then I began reading. Whew! What a relief. Hilarious.

But seriously, I'm right there with you man. Link just looked gay. I like the game and all, the art direction of the rest of the game was pretty cool, but Link was goddamned creepy. I think if you stare into those eyes long enough your brain melts from the inside. That, or you begin to like showtunes.

Hey man, you remember that time you borrowed $20? Well now it's payback time. You could just give me the Windows division or just park a truckload of money outside my house. Whatever.

Today's phrase that pays: verbal fellatio.

Just classic.

I nominate Deus Ex: Invisible War for the PC as XBox Game of the Year.

Well, since you never said anything about interest, and I did say I would give you the money back... so I'll send you that cashier's check for $20 tomorrow.

You forgot to mention the Dreamcast somewhere in the awards. I demand it.

You're awfully demanding for a guy that lives in Sherlock.

Can I have Mex's award? Oh wait... that probably won't be a good award...

On another note, funny read. Me Likey.

Where's the mandatory joke about Duke Nukem Forever that's been in every 'best of' or 'game of the year' article for the past 3 years?

"Anakin, as embodied by [Hayden] Christensen, is the kind of needlessly moody kid you might see getting punched out in a Dairy Queen parking lot."

That joke has been delayed until Q4 of 2005.

Seriously though, how is that company still in business? They haven't made a game in years?

I'm pretty sure they've made or published games now and then. I remember some versions of Duke Nukem for GBA and Playstation, and then there's Max Payne...
