Well, now that all is said and done, I'm going to stick around. The true nature of Jeff's departure we'll probably never know, but I think that's just as well. I think there was alot more going on than just the Kain & Lynch review. The response from the rest of the staff and their disappointment in the community's reaction towards their integrity is enough for me. Besides, I don't want to waste anymore of my time on this...even if things went down the way the conspiracy theorists say, integrity in game journalism is such a frivilous concept in the big scheme of things. If the people at Gamestop put this much time and effort into more pressing problems like Global Warming, Energy consumption and even their own education...well, that surely would be something. Bottomline is, I like the rest of the Gamespot staff, and I like the friends I've made here, and the explaination was good enough. If the game reviews seem "bought" I'll simply give my business to the sites that don't seem that way.

I've been lucky enough to come across some extra money as of lately. A wiser man would probably save the money to pay off debts, but I am not that man. I have been thinking about getting a PS3 or a Wii. I'm really torn between the two. Why not an Xbox360? Because I don't want to have to deal with hardware failures, even though the 360 has the best games of this generation. The Wii has Super Mario Galaxy and Metriod Prime: Corruption, but the PS3 is region free. That feature is so important to me. So I'm really torn....what to do?
