  • Eat my foul, rancid shit, Madcatz. Your fucking lousy memory card corrupted both my Resident Evil 0 files. Now I have to play through it all over again, AND buy the more expensive Nintendo card. I'm going to break something.

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.
