You're Killin' Me GameSpot

Screwy formatting in reviews, ok, I can tolerate being careful with spaces. Mysterious errors in random posts? Doesn't happen much. Tables? Well, they didn't even have the option a year ago, anyway.

But now you're screwing with just using the site.

Every five minutes of browsing I have to sit and wait as the browser seizes up from a JavaScript infinite loop. Sure, that's not what the error says when it finally comes to (it says that a script has become unresponsive, do you want to stop the script), but I know what causes that. Apparently the programmers don't because it's been over a week of this.



But that's not even the worst part. There's a serious case of memory leak (yes, that's actually a programming term and not something made up in Johnny Mnemonic [yes, that's actually how it's spelled]) in the coding that is consuming an exponential amount of resources. Right now the browser is consuming a massive 280MB of RAM.


Your reviews can suck and your features can be glitchy, but you've really done it when it becomes increasingly difficult to simply navigate the site.

GameSpot, you're on notice.

    So basically, simply surfing the site takes up a huge chunk of your memory.

    An increasingly large chunk with each page visit.

    looked up K-melon - it says its similar to Firefox, I use firefox, and I don't have any problems. Oh and by the way a quick question, if you hate the reviews, encounter posting glitches, hate the tables and have infinite loops, Why ,oh why are you a regular user since 05, on level 34 with 90 something blog posts?

    oh and BTW relating to my blog post, even AFTER changing my DOB to '81 the age gate still blocks me, I've cleared the cache, and restarted and it still doesn't let me watch stuff .

    Where else would I guess these snippy comments on my continually negative posts? Besides, the first year wasn't so bad >_>

    I also don't use reviews anyway, only mock them

    Wow, why did everyone choose this blog entry to become ****ing ****ed like a *****y on a **** ********? It makes my comments on Kakyoku of the Week look like holding hands under a rainbow.

    If it makes you feel any better, here's the script error I get. The kicker is, it doesn't just happen on Gamespot, it's pretty much every page I load:

    (Apparently they don't like you putting images in blog comments, which made shrinking it down kind of pointless.)
