I could take up several pages 'power pointing' the myriad supply of bullshit this site churns out on a daily basis, from the basic structure/format of the site, to it's appalling moderation staff, to the insipid nature of it's 'little boy' populace. I'll save everyone some reading and summarize, that I totally agree with you on all points. Point taken.

Normally I can avoid going into the boards, and thank God for that, but this was one of those cases where I had to do so, and I specifically wanted to point out that, of all the assholes on the site, these people were the worst.

But really, do you really need to specify Monster Hunter? Take that out and, you have the ultimate review of every board in the history of GameFAQS/Spot. Dude, this was awesome.

And the gist of it was they were essentially saying "Fall in line behind his damage calculations like good little soldiers" and essentially mocking him for daring to bother trying to help out. I mean, it's a silly guide in general, but hardly deserving of the scorn of your (supposed) peers. There are more than ten games available for the PSP that I wanted to own, so I bought one. It's not really any more complicated than that. And in all fairness, you can rot in hell for having a working Sega CD. Mario Strikers was something we rented, played once, and vowed never, EVER to play again. So I'm gonna have to take a pass on that one good buddy. No, not really.

Not me. I wanted to see what possible explanation they could have for disliking the guide.

On another note, you and J can rot in hell for having a PSP. The dreams of my only chance to get Dracula X legally in the USA have been quashed because apparently Sony finally ponied up enough money to get it exclusive on the PSFP (Playstation Fucking Portable), making it that much more irritably close to being worth shucking $200 to get.

And on yet another side note, I have Wii. If you haven’t figured out how to break the system and score again and again using only two tactics to shut out your opponent, I’d love to play Strikers with you sometime if you have it. Either of you.

Not that this is a good thing, but that's not the point.

Unless you feel especially incline to create a mirror for such unabashed stupidity, then it's just better to not link at all -- because in a few days, it'll be gone.
