I fell out with arch-cock Stu Campbell about 18 years ago I think Ooh, I can imagine that being fun. I was a member of the WoS board for years, I enjoyed his writing very much but he was very contentious as a person. Very, VERY defensive should you suggest something he'd written might not be accurate. |

Don't worry Rod, the tail in your office that were extremely attracted to you that you had to bat away will be falling at your feet again.

Granted he is dealing with the comments section. |

A few years ago Ian Higton posted a tweet showing him playing Outrun stretched to 16x9. A friend replied with #stopaspectratioabuse
Higton just blocked him. I'm surprised someone with such a comically thin skin could be a professional YouTuber.

I don't see the huge issue tbh. Maybe he likes playing Outrun at the wrong aspect ratio and is fed up of people going on about it.

I would imagine working in that field you would get so many messages from incredibly pedantic people as gamers can be.

This sunsetting made me think it was a reaction to that thread about how Eurogamer should put their money where their mouth is and boycott or take a stance about Blizzards workplace. The forum generally seemed to take a pretty disparaging position on Eurogamer itself.

Yeah, no. Let's not start overstating the importance of the forum to the main site. I sincerely doubt that one thread that barely had any staying power influenced their business workings.

Don't worry Rod, the tail in your office that were extremely attracted to you that you had to bat away will be falling at your feet again. That was my first thought as well. Or perhaps he could finally take that live off the land wild camping trip he was always planning. |

Oh no, i'm not for one second worried that i'll never have a woman love me again. I've only been working my new job for about 5 weeks, so haven't had any time to woo the damsels in the current office just yet, but it'll happen.
And while i say i haven't had any time to, this is a big office and i'm fairly certain three women are at least curious. While i'm in the virtual training course it's hard to make interact properly with most people though. I've already received several messages on Tinder. I'm not explicitly looking, but i need a date for my friend's housewarming in a few months.
The problem is that women are not interchangeable. I actually loved Megan. It's going to take some time, and a hell of a lot more haiku for me to process and get over this.

Don't shit where you eat Rod, stay away from office relationships.

Ok. Is Rod just a bored user's sock account because I feel like I should know the answer to this by now.

You could probably write some really profound stuff from a tent in some remote part of Scotland, while you chow down on squirrel nuts or whatever 😉

The way i'm feeling, Scotland isn't remote enough.
I've always wanted to explore darkest Peru. If this experience has taught me anything, it's that maybe life is too short to do things with the kids wheels on.
She denies it, but i've always felt like i was her 'project'. I know you guys won't believe it, but when she and i met, i was kind of a loser. I think she liked building me up and nagging and pushing me to better myself, but i also think she liked that she was the more successful out of the two of us. She is still by far more successful than i am, but i think i've reached a level where i can't give her that kind of weird satisfaction of improving a person.
I just don't know. I didn't even feel like playing Ghost of Tsushima when i got home today. I've just been laying on the floor, drinking belvedere vodka and listening to Eric Carmen.

Eric Cartman is not who you turn to for relationship advice.

They've probably got a neckbeard in common.

I'm more of a designer stubble kind of guy. A beard doesn't work so well with a mullet.

A mullet? That's a step too far Rod. Got to keep it believeable if you want us to think you're real.

Its just that the back of my hair is a bit longer than the front. It's more of an 80's action heronkind of thing. A bit like Miller's hair at the start of MGSV. I just didn't think a beard went with it too well. |

I think my eyes just probably refused to look at that thread. The back of my hair is longer than the front as well, but that's because I don't have any at the front.
Also, beards go well with everything. They're only bad if you've got a face that's too round or you've not got enough jaw. Luckily I have a not-round-face and a right manly chin, so my beard looks great. Only part of me that does mind you, the rest is a fucking shitshow.
