I will never understand why fanboys get up in arms over reviews in the first place. They should be used as a reference for deciding on whether to buy/rent/play the game, and that's it. If you already know you are buying the title in question or HAVE IT and are still sitting there biting your nails off over any negative comment, you need to pull out the plug to your internet connection, calm the fuck down, and go play the fucking game that you can't stop obsessing over.
Maybe this is why GAF got so bad to me. Oh, and the HUGE first posts in threads written like mini-sites or articles, complete with custom-made headers, multiple sections, and sometimes even a "written by ----/graphics by -----"? TOO. FUCKING. MUCH. Start up your own site, fuck.
