    Venkman: Dr. V is a good guy and he has the implicit approval of Dave Meltzer, a man I respect and admire. Slayer makes false claims about my stealing other posters' gimmicks. Stephen wins.

     

    Kinetic: Both guys are great, but Kinetic posts better than anyone, anywhere, anytime. He's the man.

     

    KOAB: I like Agent, but KOAB just makes me laugh more. Will likely have an extended stay in jail or rehab soon so who knows about his prospects for the 2010 tournament?

     

    Treble: The further the guy who beat me can go in this tourney, the more validated I am as a poster. So it is written, and so it shall come to pass.

    I loved GamePro when I was 10. Looking back, it wasn't great but it wasn't horrible either. Early GamePro was a total shill mag, but during the time I read it heavily, I think it was good. Now it's terrible. I try to convince myself it wasn't always bad. And I am convinced! Like cocaine, nostalgia's a helluva drug.

    I considered making "Does Kotzenjunge Lose?" after he got demodded back in spring '05. I opted against it, as his renown far exceeded mine at the time and it might have been a bump in the road in my quest to become board-popular. I know Pat took that stuff seriously, modding in shifts and all. That was both admirable and sad at the same time. Sadmirable, as it were. He was just the kind of professional mod Matt Young wanted, but I don't see the easygoing, drug-addled Kotz wearing a tie.

    I like 1up's podcasts. I hope they don't disappear.

    Well perhaps this was KRAYZIE TAWK because of course they're all dead! 1up Yours, my favorite, dead. Retronauts, good for a listen when it was about games I liked, dead. 1up FM, sometimes good, sometimes not. Dead!
