It seems as though baseball is finally taking a big step forward into 1990 and adopting instant replay. I personally like the idea of instant replay being used for home runs — since that’s a play that has a significant effect on the game — but I think allowing replay to be used to challenge strike calls would be an absurd lengthening of the game. I agree with Terry Crowley (even though he’s lucky he’s in fuckin’ baseball) that the umpires are generally reliable and do a good job, but, man, those muffed home run calls can swing whole games and sure do make bad press.

Gamespot’s Metal Gear Solid 4 review is up (albeit somewhat late), and, as expected, they gave it a perfect 10. I’ve never one to pass up an opportunity to make fun of Gamespot for being complete dipshits, and I’d like to call them out for declaring that MGS4 is a great game "for anyone who appreciates games that rise above the simple act of pushing a few buttons and pulling a few triggers." Since that’s, like, the description of every video game ever made (okay, we’ll allow for "waving the controller around" and "dragging the stylus across the screen" being the same damn thing), what could that possibly mean? The answer is earlier in the review: "you’ll spend a good half of MGS4 watching cinematics."
It’s no surprise that the halfwits at Gamespot get wet and drippy over any game that’s mainly composed of cutscenes; they’re in the group of malign retardates who are always criticizing games for having too much gameplay and not enough dialogue. It’s also no surprise that they rated MGS4 a perfect 10 considering that, as I write this, the site is covered in ads for it. Let’s not forget what happened to Jeff Gerstmann for daring to have negative comments about a sponsor’s product, after all.
