I love Xbox live, but it pains me to see his overly happy, dorky face all over the place.

He's annoying. And old. Why not pick someone your average user can relate to? Someone a bit younger, and maybe a little less dorky?A little more in touch with the younger generation? Anyway, just a rant.

I'd be interested to see if anyone else feels this way.

:lol: Stalker alert! You're just defending him because you're of an "advanced age", just like the dorkified Major. Do you have an "Old Dudes Rule" T-Shirt? :P :P

No. I don't have one of those t-shirts. Instead I have a t-shirt that has you and Major Nelson, arm in arm, running down the beach, wearing only Speedos... with the caption "BFFs". I only bought it so I could burn it.

No emblem yet, I did vote on different sections on different days (as they were being revealed) so I should show up as having voted. Thanks!

I think they are trying to tell you something my dear... who'd you tick off this time? ;)

I reply to most comments... it's fun to get a dialogue going with my friends. Sometimes the comments section turns out more funny than the blog post itself.

so are more than half the adult population now losers? please.... it's justa stupid stereotype. The demographic has grown by leaps and bounds since that stereotype was first made popular. Your observations are just playing into old ways of thinking of gamers...

This has been happening alot to me too, for the past week or so, almost everytimeI load a new page... and I'm using Akira AV just like the first poster is.

The console makers just dropped a deuce.

I voted in nearly every category...

1. Game of the Year: Fallout 3
2. Best 360 game: Fallout 3
3. Best DS game: World Ends With You
4. Best Driving: Pure
5. Best Platformer: Prince of Persia
6. Best Music Game: Rock Band 2
7. Best Shooter: Gears 2

11. Worst Game Everyone Played: Iron Man
12. Flat Out Worst: Battle for the Pacific
13. Best Game No One Played: Viva Pinata

and I voted in all the special achievement categories too, plus voted in every "best of year" voting since 2004.
