@nigelholden What 'facebook flood gates'? Every site I have seen with a facebook linked comments section has fewer, more measured, comments. To what exactly are you referring?
Excellent video and totally correct in everything you say. The problem you have on Gamespot is that you will always get these type of idiots spewing venom as long as the feedback is a free-for-all. ESPNFC.com had the same issue with trolls so they moved their logon to be a facebook logon. If you did this then not only would people think twice about what they write because their friends and family would know what they are saying but you could also restrict commenting to age-appropriate games based. I am sick of reading comments from 14 year old moronic children trying to sound 'cool' about 18+ rated games.
Perhaps it's something Gamespot could consider in the future.
@AttackOfTheCat @GrumpyMcNasty Nooo!!! Only Fools and Horses man! This time next year Rodders!!! They should have stopped when they sold the watch though. :)
@Scorpion1813 It's a shame you feel that way, obviously you or friends have had bad experiences but I've lived in London several times and have always found the Londoners friendly. As for the whole 'don't make your house look too nice' that's a stereotype and applies in the lesser areas of every major city. Remember London is classified as a Mega-City, there's more to it than just the bad areas. Not to mention it's the best place in the world on a match day around Fulham Broadway, Islington, Wembley or any of the other many grounds in London. York is a beautiful city where they have managed to retain their medieval roots (a bit like Kilkenny in Ireland) but it can't really be compared. Still, like you said, it's your opinion.
Oh, and statistically you are more likely to be shot in Dublin than London. Armed cops don't shoot ordinary people.
@AttackOfTheCat Only because RTE didn't have the balls to go with it when Dermot Morgan approached them with the script first because the Irish really can't handle satire. Channel 4 took it on because satirical shows are British TVs bread and butter.
@AttackOfTheCat Grand Theft Auto Dublin would be a bit boring. Stuck in traffic jams or behind Micras on the motorway all the time and everyone in Amsterdam would be too high to care if you stole their car.
Now if Rockstar did a game about road rage, you could set that in Dublin, I'd play that!
