    I remember the whole week of that review being utter chaos here with all the spam threads and threats of nerd violence.

    And then Kieron Gillen, before he became a comic superstar, had to re-review it and pretty much gave the exact same opinion.

    I remember the developer posting images stating how long the reviewer spent on the game and how wrong he was hehe. Then Eurogamer did a rereview.

    KingofHearts was a fun user. I recall that being one of the more wholesome bonding moments for the forum.

    What a hero.

    Was he the guy who pretended to have brain cancer, or the one who pretended his girlfriend had died? Or maybe I'm thinking of someone entirely different and slandering his good name.

    Bundy is long gone.

    I'm actually wondering now if BGIE is currently in prison for taking part in the Capitol attack. To the surprise of absolutely no one, he went down the trump hole pretty hard.

    Speaking of shoehorns, what happened to Templar Wizard and his rambling threads about saccharine JRPGs. He's in Japan don't you know.

    I used to have Mal on steam, but I think he either blocked or deleted me. Or my memory is failing and I never had him there. Razz will sleuth him out.

    Didn't he leave after getting a facial from Wrinkly or something?

    Was it sad faces he used to do? I remembered they were smiley.

    Mind you, he did *not* like getting molested at the large old country house orgy.
