    I think that sites like ShackNews serve as intellectual advocates for the consumers that care to develop their own opinions, because it is only with honest, substantial critique that all of us consumers can actually understand the medium on a deeper level. For the people who don't care to delve that deeply into gaming intellectualism, I'm not so sure that it matters whether or not critics are shills or journalists....

    But I'm grateful to you guys and your podcast for being honest in your opinions, and hope you never have to even think about stopping.

      I'll back that.

      I'm an adult, I keep counsel but I make my own decisions. Fact of the matter is if people want any pre-release *anything* on a game, game journalists *must* work with publishers. Period. Everyone who reaches a certain level of prominence in this field is going to have to work out a sort of push and pull with said publishers and it CAN look like impropriety.

      I understand that. I can *handle* that, because frankly, no one here is a superspy master of emotional manipulation. I feel I can spot the real from the manufactured.

      Meantime, I really enjoy listening to the WC crowd make their cases for or against a game, or try to express the complicated nature of emotional response to a game through a handful of 30 minute segments. I don't always agree, but I'm always glad they've had the discussion.

      Please have many more.
