Obligatory 1,000 Point Post

As I finally reach 1,000 points, I can't help but sigh in relief that I will now be able to unleash my finicky self on entries, fixing annoying errors with no delay. In all fairness, I'm somewhat surprised by just how often people half-ass article entries, writing a weak blurb and nothing more. I'm surprised my entry for guns has survived a week intact, considering I'm the polar opposite of a gun fanatic and made it sound as yuppie as possible. Heck, I got a huge amount of my points by revising a veritable crapload of entries for cars in the game Live for Speed, since someone just threw up a picture and car specs copied straight from the game, and thought their work was complete. For shame! Original detail is almost always possible.

That's my advice for anyone not at 1,000 points yet: Capitalize on the laziness of others. An article is more than a quick blurb and some images, people.

Points aside, I've read through some of the overview articles others have posted, and I can't help but wonder if some of the trivia that's brought up is actually true, or simply BS made up in the hyperactive minds of Giant Bomb users. I totally plan on covering some of the more humorous inaccuracies I'm finding at a later time.

For now, I'm going to move around the site pretending to play the role of the evil copy editor, preventing users from posting incoherent crap on games they never really played. Away!
