wardrox asked: Not taking notes whilst playing a game doesn't make the individual bad at being a journalist. Not least when they have more experience and skill than nearly every other professional in their field.

Calling somebody terrible at their job and incompetent (even though the article you linked to is, at least to my eyes, good) because they chose to do something in a way you wouldn't do is super dumb. Also, something you have muddled (likely unintentionally), this is a preview (one of many) and not a review.

To reply to your "you have to wonder if there’s really any point in writing it" comment: of course there is! There are thousands of people wanting to know what he thinks. This article fills that need very well. You may not care, but you are probably not a regular reader of GB.

"I like Gerstmann, and what happened to him at GameSpot was ridiculous to say the least, but this is just bad." Are you on crack? What the fuck does something that happened two years ago have to do with the quality of his work now?

Also, for the love of god parse these questions. The last one you replied to has a line break
just
before
every
single
end
of
line making it bullshit to read.

Now if you don't mind, I shall continue to ride atop this horse all morning.
