    Like so many others on this site...

    ...i'm just doing this for the points.  "and what are the points good for?" my wife will inevitably ask. 
     
    man, i don't know.  they're points.  they're good for keeping score.  i've been collecting them in one form or another for all my life. 
     
    the grades i got in school?  points.  the performance reviews at work? points.  and now i collect points on the internet. 
     
    it's a brave new world, people.

    I remember when Gamespot went to a level system.  Just like then, I'm annoyed that I have to start fresh despite being on the site so long.

    I wish I could get rid of the bar on the bottom and put it back on top. I don't really care about points.

    I've never really realised I we have such an obsession with collecting useless points... Anyway, I wish the bar was up the top. It doesn't feel right down the bottom for some reason.

    I want it at the top because on Chrome when something is loading it will block the bar.

    @ShaunassNZ: Yup, I noticed that immediately lol. But then I noticed a cute little X that I can press and can ignore the whole points thing! :)

    When you hit level 10 you get an honorary meeting with Jeff Gerstmann and a check for $100.
