  Jeff Gerstmann is gonna get laid...

  Alright so I haven't posted in a really long time... I'm a Dad, so get the F off my back, OK? It just so happens that the "Gamespotcalypse" is upon us, and in the myriad of atrocities I've been comiting today. (a sleep deprived, caffeine induced emotional roller coaster that included my review of Kane and Lynch at dawn and the sudden realization that I had forgotten my own Halo night, sorry OGU) Whilst in the middle of being way too touchy in the "Off Topic Discussion Super Mega Thread" It came to me like a bunch of chicks getting lathered in liquids (Jeff you know what I'm talking about) I said to myself "Gerstmann you son of a **** for it was clear as crystal. Jeff Gerstmann IS gonna get laid.
  
  My personal feelings about this are ridiculous, since I really don't know exactly how I feel about the guy, but clearly it seems that for someone who has given so many years to a company, the lack of even a simple, yet awkward good bye party, a party that would have included cake, I guarantee Jeff would have LOVED cake, especially a Portal "german chocolate cake" or whatever, it doesn't matter any cake would have pleased Jeff, HE DESERVED IT! Please excuse me, Im a little touchy.
  
  Regardless of how things went down, the magnitude of Jeff's firing can't be denied, just on a whim I found these peppered throught the forums... Its a downright revolution:
  
  
  
  
  
  
  I guess my message is, anytime you start to feel bad for Jeff, just know that sweet portly man just turned himself into an icon, and believe me I wouldn't worry about his employment status too much. But also know that the dude is going to get laid... a lot. I just hope he hooks up with this guy's daughter...or wife...or mom.

  "Just Like The Good O'l Days" An Arcade Story

  I've accepted the fact that at 26 years old, I am old enough to utter that overused cliche "Just like the good o'l days". I know, its happened to me, and believe me it will happen to you I mention this because I wasted away a large chunk of my childhood in shady establishments known as arcade joints, during the golden years of american arcade gaming, from the 1980's to the middle 1990's. I understand that a lot of our forumites were barely babies back then, or maybe not even born yet, but those days before consoles ruled at homes were awesome in their own ways.
  
  Many things come to mind, but one thing that stands out is how driven people were not only to obtain, but to also show off the fact they had the "High Score" Its what legends were made of. High scores would last for years, and for some reason the same kid had all the high scores in most of the arcades, I hated that guy! But I digress. We all know that those days have come and gone, yet today I got a taste of stale cheese pizza, as I reexperienced an awesome arcade moment.
  
  These days XBLA does an OK job of recreating that atmosphere, and just like back then, there's a kid that populates my high scores list: Mr. Blackley. Today I was checking out high scores when the disparity in the Assault Heroes leaders list caught my eye. It seems that Mr Blackley had once again destroyed the competition, his high score just obliterated everyone's on my list. So I decided to play that game as I said to myself "Why not, maybe I'll place in the top 10...
  
  Long story long, I had the best game of my life, my thumbs hurt, yet my sprits are strong, as I finally get the #1 spot. Its not like it used to be, but its close enough.
  
  PS: I know the background wallpaper of my Wii60 owns, but thanks for noticing
