Didn't even notice this until jlrm01 pointed it out to me. I need to read my friends' blogs more often.

Seems a bit melodramatic. Although I do agree that staff priorities seem to be misplaced, his method just seems wrong to me. What's the point if you're not going to be here any more?

I myself have had only minor difficulties contacting staff about issues, but even then there's so much stuff that can't be handled through PMs. I once messaged Jeff for clarification on something and never got a response. But when I messaged Jeff and Brad about other things, I got quick responses. It does work sometimes, but it's inconsistent. Even Gia has tried and failed to contact Jeff.

Snide does have a point about the small staff of course. But that's why the mods should be given additional powers. And instead of unimportant stuff like trivia, achievement tracking, the "improved" image editor, battles, and other crap, the staff should be working on more important stuff. A revision and rollback system for the wiki. The ability to move topics to forums outside the main ones. More powers for wiki moderators. Those are things that should be priorities. Yes, there are other things that are constantly being requested, but these are the things that would most benefit the community. Not just on Giant Bomb, but on Comic Vine and Anime Vice as well.

Andrew's Top 10 Favorite List of the Greatest Games Ever Made in the History of Ever

Game of the Year Edition

10. Gods and Generals
I've never played this game, but my friend who works for the developer says it's really good so I put it on the list.

9. Billy the Wizard: Rocket Broomstick Racing
This game used to be called Barry Hatter. This game is full of creativity.

8. NRA Gun Club
Shooting cans is much more fun than shooting people.

7. World War II Combat: Iwo Jima
Unless you're shooting people in World War II, which I understand is the time period in which this excellent game takes place.

6. Hooters Road Trip
Combining the best aspect of Hooters and road trips, this is one hard cross-country drivin' game.

5. George of the Jungle and the Search for the Secret
Will George ever find the secret? I won't tell you. This is a taut thriller that you'll have to experience for yourself.

4. Drake of the 99 Dragons
Drake of the 99 Dragons proves you don't need good graphics, controls, or a working camera to make a great game. I can't recommend this game enough.

3. Anubis II
This is the exact same game as Ninjabread Man, yet at the same time is so much better. Such brilliant game design could only come from the masterminds at Data Design Interactive.

2. Charlie's Angels
This developer would go on to make the Cocoto games. Unfortunately they were never able to top Charlie's Angels.

1. Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing
This game changed the way I looked at life. Developer Stellar Stone took a simple concept and managed to wrap an amazing story around it. Big Rigs proves that no matter what the world throws at you, no obstacle is insurmountable. Just plow on through. Nothing can stop you from the ultimate goal of becoming winner.

I picked up a package today. I wonder what's inside...

[cool video of me opening my mail]

Oh, look. It's Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne.

I payed out the ass for shipping and customs, but I think I still got it for a pretty good price.

I hope to start playing it after I finish with Persona 4. And I hope to play it for a few days before I get frustrated, toss the game on my shelf, and never look at it again. I'm that good at playing games. :P

If only I had managed to ruin a few lives before getting caught...

Oh well. I guess I'll just have to start again from the bottom.
