Planet GameCube has a story where it seems that some magazines have decided that eschewing actual journalism is the way to go, with both Extreme Gamer and Request Magazine having reviews for Nintendo's Eternal Darkness, a game that is currently incomplete and is only expected to arrive in stores at the end of June."

    Arguing on the internet is like running in the Special Olympics. Even if you win, you're still retarded.

    I'm probably going to get modded down for this, but yours is probably the most unfunny .sig I have ever seen. I do understand the sentiment, yes. However, deliberate cruelty and unkindness should never be humorous, and your .sig manages to be both. Might I convince you to change it?

    Or are you going to tell me to fuck off?
