Hmm, I was a real fan of the original trio (never managed to finish the last two though). Are the two Advanced Warfighter games alone worth it?

Of course the DRM went unnoticed by lots of people. After all, look at the pirated version that lacked the DRM at all, enjoyed by hundreds of thousands of people!

Truer words have not been spoken.

Thompson dug his own grave, why should we feel sorry for him? Because now his wife has to foot that $43k bill that they're tacking on for all that money he wasted by running pointless circles in the Florida judicial system? That's his own damn fault. He should have seen this possibility coming, and if he didn't, then Florida is no worse off for ridding itself of a crappy lawyer.

DVD playback, eh...?

Who has the Pac-Man watch now, and are there any plans for it to change hands again? I ask since there's at least one occasion where Gabe kills Tycho after Tycho sics the dog on Gabe (forget which comic it was, but Gabe curb-stomped Tycho on a game counter over some DS or PSP game), but there's no indication that the watch changed hands.

Traffic isn't really an accurate indicator in this case, I would personally say, since it doesn't indicate revenue. Factor in the "Blackout Monday" (I think that's what it was called) that everyone pulled on CNet and all the cancelled subscriptions to GameSpot's exclusive content (can't remember what it was called exactly), and you have an indicator for why CBS bought out CNet back in May. Hell, I can still say that I bring traffic to GameSpot at the same rate that I used to before Gerstmann-gate, but thanks to ad-block, they ain't getting a dime out of it.

Also, interesting factoid I found on Kotaku (couldn't find the story here), Josh Larson was actually fired from CNet in April, a month before CBS bought them out.

"history of strong results"

Well, I must say, that was worded quite well. You could certainly call the shitstorm and subsequent loss of revenue to CNet because of Gerstmann-gate "strong" in most languages.

Hmm, GameSpot really docked off of their score for the game. Check get lost in the mail?
