To counter that positive energy, we've assembled Gaming Gaffes of 2003 over at Curmudgeon Gamer, a list of the most embarrassing, disheartening, and bone-headed developments in the game industry over the past year. We've tried to give everyone a little frank criticism, from Sony's PlayStation 2 Online service through the lack of a Loki successor for Linux gaming, as well as specific products like EA's The Sims Online. Did we miss any?"

The Video Game Awards were a great idea, but turned out to be the biggest pile of marketing trash I've ever fast forwarded through.

I'll let SpikeTV off the hook, because I love MXC.

Actually, Nintendo didn't definitely say Mario Kart would have online play. They said it was a possibility, but decided to go LAN only.
In fact, by E3, I beleive they had stated online was most likely not going to be there.
