GameSpotting
Welcome to GameSpotting, where the computer doesn't always cheat.

Just like last week, and the week before that, and the week before that, GameSpotting is still a place for the editors of GameSpot to vent their frustration, spout off about their latest cause, or just ramble on for a few hundred words. This edition sees the arrival of Alex Navarro to our ranks, a guest column by Penny Arcade's Safety Monkey, and the regular assortment of columns about the goings-on both inside and outside the gaming industry. Grab a cold one and read on. Direct any feedback to the GameSpot forums.

 
Reality Check
Greg Kasavin/Executive Editor
"When you get into a game, you're not worrying about your taxes, finding a job, finding a place to live, going to war, or any of those things."

 
The Lowly Life of a Game Tester
Alex Navarro/Assistant Editor
"One day you may wake up...and the clarity of what your life has become will be staggering."

 
Professional Gaming
Ryan Mac Donald/Executive Producer, GameSpot Live
"I became a freak this past week--I've taken my love for playing Counter-Strike to the next level."

 
Half-Baked, the Video Game?
Craig Beers/PC Video Editor
"Games based on other forms of media are obviously something that consumers want, so why do publishers unleash half-assed products on the consumer?"

 
Incoherent Rambling Ahoy
Giancarlo Varanini/Associate Editor
"With video games, you can take an active role in what happens to the protagonist, even if it's not tied into the story progression at all."

 
Big Honking Television
Brad Shoemaker/Associate Editor
"Thankfully, I've started to abandon my elitist ways, and I'm on the slow but sure path to recovery."

 
War Games
Sam Parker/PC Editor
"There's no denying there's some impact to getting wrapped up in games, books, and movies that focus on battles real or imagined."

 
The Lowest Common Denominator
Safety Monkey/GuestSpotter
"There's no chance for developers to incorporate items into a game to take advantage of the differences in the consoles. Why should any of us be subjected to this garbage?"
