There’s an important distinction to be made here between a leaker and a journalist. When someone leaks a document to the journalist, it’s entirely the journalist’s prerogative whether or not they want to report on that. They have not signed any NDAs and have no obligation to protect companies’ secrets. In fact, a…

OMG it takes 3 seconds to loot a body. Man, people have NO PATIENCE anymore.

Kirk, this is easily the best game review I’ve ever read, but also the best writing of any kind that I’ve read on this website. I enjoyed your creative narrative prose over the the technical trappings of FPS and other “data.”

Surprised he didn’t mention that Maggie shot a guy before she learned to walk or talk.

I love this show so much, warts and all. It was one of the first shows that I watched while the internet realized they could dissect ongoing media in online forums.
