I guess I won't show you my New Yorker fanfics where I serve as galactic correspondent.
That Martian parliamentary scandal was really riveting too.

But you have to admit, "Just as Fierce Than Ever Before" would be a great title for a Swedish death metal band's comeback album.

It's like they don't even have editors...

I played some of Killzone 2, and the glowing reviews make me really disappointed and kind of angry at the mainstream games press. That the text of the reviews themselves are written at a quasi-literate level is just insult to injury. It also helps explain what kind of people have such high opinions of such garbage.

Heh, that's a great mix of hyperboles.
