If PS3 wins the console war it definitely won't be because of a Full Auto 2 exclusive. It might sell better than the first one if the game is a budget title.

"There is NO WAY I would send a console I paid $400 for NEW back for a REFURBISHED unit MS sends back in return. Not a chance. My story seems "suspicious" to you? Do you think I'm making the whole thing up? Wait a second while I plant my tongue firmly in cheek. Okay, I'm ready:"

So you have two consoles that are broken and collecting dust because you do not want to replace them with refurbished units? The refurbished units are ones that were returned and fixed, it's not like they were used much. What exactly is your plan then? To keep the broken ones out of spite? Your story doesn't make sense because most people at the very least would ebay the refurbished units. I never said you were a plant, your story is just really strange.

I would be pretty upset though if my second 360 broke while playing oblivion lol. Did they both overheat?

"the Juicy Cerebellum did peak early. The site used to have a wider variety of articles, not just movie reviews. Taking a look at the humor section, 75% of the articles are from the first three years alone. The decline didn't just recently happen over the last six months, it's been the last 6 years."

No. The site improved greatly over its first 6 or 7 years. The last year -- possibly 2 -- saw a decline. But for free, there is still plenty of entertaining writing and commentary there.

The update I just put up (literally in the last couple of minutes) should entertain you and should remind you of the earlier stuff. It's also a "funny stuff" update, which should please you. Click my name to read it. I haven't gone downhill in my writing, Art. I have simply been overwhelmed with paying jobs and underwhelmed with fan response on my page. I haven't had the time to write the free updates you enjoy reading, as much as I love typing for middle-class netizens.

I would appreciate it if we could continue this discussion in email form, rather than on Joystiq. If The Juicy Cerebellum was one of your "top 10" favorite sites, I would think you would have emailed me at least a couple of times during the first few years (and suspect that you did). It'd be nice to get back in touch.

Lastly, I am not so sure that your insulting me because you thought I was just some guy linking to the site, rather than the actual author of the site, is a good thing. It seems you're saying it's okay to diss me behind my back, but not appropriate to do so to my face?

When you start a site, without any help from anyone, and continue to run it entirely on your own for nearly 10 years, let me know how you're doing. I don't mean to insult you in the way that you've insulted me, but I hope you understand how entirely off-base your comments toward me and my site have been.

No. I buy from Target, which gives a 90 day warranty. When my console breaks, I can exchange it or get my money back.

"The refurbished units are ones that were returned and fixed, it's not like they were used much."

That's very likely because they were BROKEN.

I can't believe I'm responding to someone caling himself "Karl Rove."
