...

Now let's all be happy and put the star on the top of our Christmas tree. And by Christmas tree I mean Steel's wang.

I leave you guys for less than a day and I find this? You asses.

There's one thing true around here, though. Nobody knows how to hold a grudge. So I wish everyone in here, especially GG and Leo, whose daily contributions not only lighten up the mood and provide us with valuable gaming information, but offer us the very rare opportunity to take a peek inside their feelings and personal lives as well as getting to know them a bit better every day, leading all of us closer to that rare jewel called friendship, a very special and merry Christmas.

Happy christmas everyone.  Peace, mercy and brotherly love.

This is just restoring the natural order of things now that Agnates and Vader have admitted their love for each other and have sex instead of fight.

Nice try, but don't think I didn't notice the "..." you posted in my "Making the List" blog just after I voted out Goldeneye.

The sad thing is I --LIKE-- the freakin' game.

Just because I'm not gushing over it RIGHT NOW I've been taking flak for the last month over it.

I thought people on this site were above the "See it MY way and ONLY my way" mentality, but apparently I was wrong..

You know the saddest part of this post is I have no clue what you are talking about. You seem to infer ill will, based on the tiniest of things. I don't care if you like Goldeneye or not (obviously I would like my friends to enjoy things I enjoyed) but I have no idea why you are so fixated on this game when it comes to addressing me. I can't and won't hold a game up as a reason to not like someone or victimise them.

Ah now I remember, I read the first part of your blog but missed all the comments because I had no gotten around to it yet. I posted "....." as a joke because you make a fun joke about GE, like when you joked that I would not get Meat boy. Our relationship seems to be a cataclysm of misunderstandings.

If you took my posts as anything more than me just trying put a smile on people's faces, well I'm sorry you're that sensitive.

Were you trying to put a smile on my face when you posted this?

          Translation: Instead of lovingly created and well-thought out posts by people who played tons of various games this year that GG doesn't care about because they don't include GoldenEye 007 for the Wii, GG presents this: His one-millionth post of a funny cat pic.

Merry Christmas to you too!

I'm sensitive?

You make an entire blog post that copies and pastes my blog and links it to a game called Cock out. I didn't bat an eyelid, I never had an issue with it, I took it in good humour and didn't cause a stink. I still don't care, but then you go post snide comments in my blog when you think I am making fun of your blog by posting a cat rolling a watermelon pic? It doesn't bother me when people poke fun at me, but then I don't then expect people to jump down my throat when I make an obvious joke.

..only difference in those instances though, they know what's a joke and what's NOT.

I've NEVER had a problem with you GG. Not over a game. Not Once. Ever. Insulting people, whether you mean it intentionally or not, especially when they are writing long and elaborate posts about games on a gaming site, however, is not cool.

There is so much wrong with this comment it's just hard to wrap my mind around. You say "insulting people whether you mean it intentionally or not is not cool" and yet that is what you did here to me on Christmas Eve. And also when people make blogs "they know what's a joke and what's NOT." Well obviously you didn't know what was a joke as you took a meaningless cat rolling a watermelon pic, as some massive insult to you.

.... and we have a customer! My business is your pleasure. Merry Christmas!

That's just wrong.

GG, you have been more defensive lately.  When Leo made his post about Cock-out I didn't think he was making fun of you or your position at all.

Neither did I, but that is the irony here. Leo made an entire blog post that copies and pastes my blog and links it to a game called Cock out. I didn't bat an eyelid, I never had an issue with it, I took it in good humour and didn't cause a stink. Then he jumps down my throat for posting a cat rolling a watermelon pic? Come on.

Sorry. I haven't been in the most festive of moods latey. I've been spending my spare time trying to NOT think of other things by vegging out, reading posts and writing elaborate ones of my own. I had just finished updating my 25 Blog, went back to the blog section and saw GG posting about "massively long series of blogs about games you don't care about"...

...and immediately thought the worst.

I basically thought I was spending time writing about games that no one was going to care about anyway. I felt foolish.

This is like when I got defensive about people posting useless Red Steel 2 reviews earlier in the year. At the time I was slogging away making official threads on 2 different sites, whilst still updating here daily while no one was helping me out. So it annoyed me when people would seemingly make fun of all effort I had put in. It's bad enough having to deal with GAF posters.

I really didn't mean anything by this blog and I hadn't gotten around to reading the updates you had made in the comments section of your blog.

But truth be told, there are and will be games that you or I don't care about on anyones best of list. Aspro is posting reviews of Matchbox Caterpillar Construction Zone and Darth's number 25 game of the year is Fruit Ninja. Hell, Robio's best of list has Angry Birds Iphone on the list, I don't and never intend to own an Iphone so yeah, I don't care. It was a flippant joke, but no harm was intended. If you had posted something like:

"Oh that's nice, after I put so much effort in my blog" and I would have immediately come back with "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to cause any offence and I will change it now". But you threw out a couple of insults that ground my gears at a particularly sensitive time. See my post in the site suggestions thread for more info.

This Christmas my brother had taken my nephew to see the inlaws, my cat was dead and I had to split my time between two warring, divorced, parents. It was just a bad time to get kicked. All I wanted was to try and have a happy Christmas, despite everything and then that comment of yours just ruined my mood for two days where I just wanted to be happy.

You soppy git. Now you've made me feel all warm and Christmasy.

You're wrong though, I hold grudges, I just give them up after a while.
