I think one of my favourite things about Jeff is that when he fucks up, he owns it. No excuses about the game being unfair, too hard, or telling us what he thought would happen when he makes a boneheaded mistake. Gotta love a guy who just says, "Yep. That one was on me!"
YES!!! What a wonderful surprise; am also getting ready to build my first PC and sparing no expense, so this couldn't have come at a more perfect time. Thanks fellas!
@alex: Respectfully that's semantical. All's I'm sayin' is it's a knee-jerk reaction common in tech reporting. It'd be rad to read a breaking story about a console, a mobile phone or videogame who's particulars happened to have leaked early WITHOUT the article feeling the need to say "we/everyone was right". As a reader, I don't really care why you'd need to feel 'in the know' at all times. Again, it's not just this story; I'm commenting because I see it quite a bit, especially on this site. In related news: I cautiously optimistic this device is rad!
Why is the VERT FIRST SENTENCE I read an "I told you so"?? Game/tech outlets seem to just love having their best guesses turn out to be true, to the interest of virtually no one. Conversely, I've not once seen said journalists ever walk back some wrong hunch and own up to the error with a "whoops, guess we were wrong". No slight to Alex here, this is just a pet peeve of mine that seems to happen without fail in speculative reporting.
