Joystiq humor at its finest! Is there a way to upvote articles?

totally agree JP
JP @ Oct 29th 2009 8:41PM
@ Deadpool: "Pimp Slap!" FTW! Times like these, I sit back and say, "Thank God for the Internet."
@ Nook: I thought it would be interesting for the site. If we can rate comments about the articles, why not the articles themselves?
Richard @ Oct 30th 2009 1:54PM
Haha, that was clever! That is a good suggestion, up voting articles. JOYSTIQ - - - run with it!

See, this wouldn't happen if they would just remake a remake of one of their greatest remakes.
CH3BURASHKA @ Oct 29th 2009 6:39PM
Can we please have the next Weekly Console Sales story presented in a similar fashion?
SpaceFox @ Oct 29th 2009 7:03PM
Am I the only one who would love a FF PS2 collection? As in, FFX, X-2 and XII? If it had trophies like the God of War collection, I would so buy it.
SpaceFox @ Oct 29th 2009 7:04PM
Ahhhh damn. That was meant as a reply to gordo... sorry mate.
Knight Marquise @ Oct 29th 2009 7:15PM
Actually Space Fox, so would I. It should easiliy fit on a Blu Ray. That would be incredible.

I would love to see Square Enix attack using a Gil Toss with that big of a bankroll...
Donald @ Oct 29th 2009 8:32PM
It would KO a 50,000,000 HP superboss.

That was the best written article I have ever read.
So. Awesome.
fuzzynyanko @ Oct 29th 2009 9:01PM
Ow ow ow. At least FF13 will be the X-Potion for the company. If it gets any worse, they'll need a cash infusion
TonyGeezy @ Oct 29th 2009 10:09PM
I appreciate the thought that goes into awesome posts such as these. You rock, Joystiq. Not just a pretty podcast but now my primary game news source.
chrono5577 @ Oct 29th 2009 10:10PM
YES! I would totally support a pronouncement coming from FASB for this type of reporting to become GAAP!
JeezWhiz87 @ Oct 30th 2009 6:33AM
This is why I used Yojimbo only sparingly.
