This week's GameSpotting is indisputable proof that the folks who work here are not actually human beings, but rather the results of some botched experiment where someone attempted to fuse a human with an Atari Jaguar or something. They're always talking about games. This week's seemingly nongaming subjects include fan fiction, horror movies, and food--but don't be fooled. These are just clever excuses to talk about games some more. If you too would like to talk about games, there are plenty of folks with that same passion in our forums. Or, if you feel you have something really important to say about games, go ahead and say it with a GuestSpotting column submission.

Fall in, Fall out
Tor Thorsen/Assistant Editor, News
"The dark clouds gathering over Black Isle Studios could mean Fallout 3 never hits PCs. That would be a tragedy."

Is Horror Horrible?
Bethany Massimilla/Community Manager
"Let me get this out of the way first and say that zombies aren't scary. They're not."

Just Desserts
Brad Shoemaker/Associate Editor
"I put this question to the development community at large with all sincerity: When are you going to make a game based on food?"

Shock Value
Greg Kasavin/Executive Editor
"After a while, we start to get all comfy with our favorite games. What better time for them to take us for a spin, leaving our heads spinning?"

Nostalgia Ain't What It Used to Be
Jason Ocampo/Associate Editor
"And as I was sorting through all my old games, it hit me: It was time to let go. I was like the guy who shows up to his high school reunion still wearing his letterman's jacket."

Xbox Life
Justin Calvert/Associate Editor
"Xbox Live isn't just something I play with friends; it's actually become our primary means of keeping in touch with one another."

Random Encounters Aren't That Bad (and Chrono Trigger Sucks)
Nathan Anderson/GuestSpotter
Reviewers roll their eyes and act like this mechanic should have gone the way of the four-letter character name.

Where Gamers Go to Mouth Off
Number One Donkey Kong Jr. Math Fan/GuestSpotter
Anyone can hop on a forum and declare Donkey Kong Jr. Math the greatest game ever conceived, but it takes strong writing chops to make people want to read such an insane diatribe. If you think you have what it takes, read our GuestSpotting FAQ, and submit your own column for possible publication in this glorious feature.
