@Ueziel: "Moral of the story is, reviews are worthless unless they're by you. "

Oh, that's how you wanna play?

@gigawings: I probably sold more copies of Tokyo Extreme Racer Zero when I worked at EB Games than any other game. Never played it myself, but it sounds all right.

@WhoKnew?: Entertainment Tonight?

Congratulations, it's a boy!

@Pahootaman: My wife always knew about my passion for video games, so she has been patient and supportive. One time we stepped into an arcade at the movie theater, and some snotty teenager was beating everyone in Marvel vs. Capcom. He was a total jerk, trash-talking and shit.
