"The Japanese consumer electronics giant..."

Or, "the company."

Jeez.

What is with commercial bloggers and the pronoun "we"?

He didn't earn enough XP to actually get to use the skill tree. He quit Dead island like he quit Nier.

Blog fanboys are a funny lot -- they're ready to stuff $60 back into a mason jar because *one* reviewer at that blog they really like emitted a great big flatulent "meh."

Personally, when McElroy whines about something I know I'll think the opposite and really enjoy whatever it is he's carping about.

A "coral reef smoothie"? Just stop.

"We normally breeze right past age gates..."

Don't you mean Febreze right past 'em?

"We've reached out to Nintendo for confirmation and details..."

How limber you video game bloggers must be with all the reaching out you do. However, is the act of sending e-mail to a PR flunky with the words "More deets please lolwut" ever considered 'reaching out' to a corporation?
