In other words, you hyped less than most but the game is/was really a 5 or 6... sorta middlin' good. Shouldn't the 8's and 9's be reserved for the 1 in a 100 that really is brilliant, and a 10, well, once in a lifetime? Ninety percent of game reviews seem to be at either extreme.
Having said that, will somebody please mod the ProudClod post up?
On the subject of Cornfield and Second Life (thus cleverly avoiding "off-topic").
Troll? Whaddya mean troll?? What's trolling about a preference change? Is there a troll in one or more of my armpits?
Oh, ahh, no, I see... hey look Mr. Moderator Man (you may sing along if you wish), that's a 'p' and an 'l' (repeat after me..."PPEEEE"... "AAELLL") in front of "ucking". Not an "F", nor an "f", not even a "ph".
Further, I would take this opportunity to point out that:
A) Implying indirectly that a submitted "News" item may be of insignificant worth is not necessarily equivalent to trolling. And...
B) Your BLAK syndrome is not my fault.

I have changed my mind. I will retain Games News in my Preferences and read religiously. Furthermore, I will sally forth and make some virtual money. (Well, ok, the thought crossed my mind, vaguely).
For any SlashDot readers sufficiently dis-connected from non-reality (hey! anything is possible!) to have been thoroughly confused by the Cornfield Post (US: greater than 32 and a half yrs, Euwope: above twenty-something) I offer the links below. Suggest you read them in reverse order.
BTW, I hesitated, as I briefly virtualized about dreamy money, about passing on this potentially valuable info. Would I be shooting myself in my virtual foot? "Naw", was my next thought, natural political inclinations being what they are amongst most SlashDot readers, none would touch a *Money* article with a 10 meter sword. "But", further I thought (the third? fourth?), even dyed-in-the-acrylic Marxists will reach for the Golden Torq given the chance. (History has proven this immutably and repeatedly). Therefore I defeats myself (thinks Gollum). "Ahh, however..." then lastly crossed my mind-such as it is (...a pre-emptive disclaimer strike), they be socialists and I be capitalist and more customers (aka "marks") are welcome, nay, essential, and I will invariably win. So, before my post turns Joycian, here are the links:

You beat me to it. [["No, they wouldn't." (...save money) ]]
Building your own (of anything) is very rarely if ever cheaper.
The real reasons for "building your own" include: Ego Boosting, educational, no alternative/unavailable, fun, possibly better end product, a way to kill time, fun, a rich source of war stories... and... Ego Boosting.
We started off with an acronymn made into an adverb and then "punned" it. You followed with (allegedly) a po-faced response, finishing (perhaps) with a double dollop of sarcasm/irony.
Each step lost between 50 to 90-something percent of the audience.
Could it be that, (other than just cynical PR), a major purpose (in life?) of the various NASA, ESO and etc sites is to (hopefully, just maybe) get a vanishingly small percentage of the non-science general public (anti-science general public?) interested in something non-trivial? In other words, wallpaper might not percolate up that far on the priorities chart.
On the other hand, would a wallpaper "radio button" get at least one kid to want to read about black holes?
Are Astro-images difficult to root out? Have I missed something?
Can't wait to get my hands on a Walmart-Google-Safeway-??? shrink-wrapped Toys-R-Us Sell-By-Dated Barbie-Doll-Pc and load up all my accumulated AutoDesk, Adobe and (dare I mention it) MS stuff and then perform the critical test... See if it will download Britney Spears.

1. You are of course quite welcome.
2. The outing of diseffective NASA operationalists is an existential necessaryness in order to guard, protect and maintainance the sinkcity of our greta nation and buffer the PR office firewall.
3. Was 'drag' part of your cover or merely a transitory harmonically influenced lifestyle choice?

You're thinking too much - get off \.
Read your own post: "with intent to impair the functioning of any computer, computer system, (etc) ... in any manner ... but not lmited to (etc)"...
Or am I missing something?
Sorry, I'm a foreigner ... that was a joke, yes?
You must be a fascist infiltrator.

***jeez*** and this one will get a troll.

...On further reflection, I think I'll drop games from my preferences. Time would be better spent plucking my armpits.
Ditto.

Well, maybe I will and maybe I won't, only the ID Guy knows for sure.
I'm just pissed off that you got a 3 and I only a 2. I smell corruption.

No. Hermetics and Prunes are merely Running Dog Reactionaries and as such mentioned in neither Genetics nor the Old Testicle.
