    Yes. Dubious Quality has been my new favorite blog for the past couple of months. He is totally right about Epic being, well, not epic.

    For me, only Valve and maybe LucasArts in their glory days have ever understood the idea of an epic video game.

    The FPS Elite are the new hardcore to some people, I guess.

    Guys who can quote Maniac Mansion and finish Contra without the extra lives are still the hardcore in my book.
