Welcome to GameSpotting, where morals are optional, there's plenty of free transportation, and we're just one submachine gun away from an unreasonably violent killing spree. Our topics this week include the Phoenix-like rising of the PC, the NeoGeo Pocket Color, and coffee robots, among other things. Outraged by the content of this lowly weekly feature? You could always start a letter-writing campaign, or you could just go the easy route and hit our forums. Alternately, if this sort of free-form editorializing really gets your motor running, you can try for your chance at infamy by submitting your own GuestSpotting column.

Getting Down to Business
Ryan Mac Donald/Executive Producer, GameSpot Live
"DICE to an industry outsider is probably about as interesting as a lecture on atmospheric physics or fluid dynamics, but for those on the inside, it can be downright fascinating."

Revenge of the PC
Greg Kasavin/Executive Editor
"The PC is the gaming platform that will outlive them all. Even the NeoGeo."

How Did I Get Here?
James Yu/Senior Hardware Editor
"The "How did I get here?" question hit me as I was puzzling over the "French vanilla cappuccino" and "mocha café latte" options under the cup size selection menu."

Going Back in Time
Bob Colayco/Associate Editor
"I find it astounding that in this era of three major consoles, a major handheld, and PC gaming, that some of our readers would post that they can't find anything interesting to play."

Go Eat Snakes!
Brad Shoemaker/Associate Editor
"It's time for someone to pick up the Metal Gear speculation mantle. Is that someone me? I doubt it, but do you see anybody else stepping up to the challenge?"

Read the Fine Manual
Tyler Winegarner/Associate Producer, GameSpot Live
"Shoots at wide range but reach is shoot."

On Ports
Jonathan Rogers/GuestSpotter
"Save for some exceptional exceptions, we don't want all your console third- and first-person shooters. So what do we want?"
