Hey, I didn't mean to sound too preachy on the last one about waiting for games. I maybe should have mentioned that I have the same attitudes toward movies and consumer electronics. I'm just not a Day 1 zeitgeist sort of person. Obviously that doesn't apply to most people, and good for you if you like that stuff!
Maybe it sounded defensive, because something a lot of podcasts and gaming communities will do is to give a chuckle when the idea of spoilers comes up for games that are 3+ months old. "Haha, do you really need to give a spoiler warning for something like Batman Arkham City? r(Obviously)r everyone who ever wanted to play it every already has." I just wanted to give the other side of the coin. Sometimes that answer is no, people really are waiting to play it. I'm fine with quick "Skip ahead 2 minutes" spoiler warnings just curious at how there really seems to be a bubble in the gaming community assuming everyone is part of the zeitgeist.
