Phoney!!</p> <p>@everyone Thanks guys, I am a passionate gamer and along the way I think a lot of people believe that just because I'm a game critic that it makes me less of a game fan, which is complete rubbish of course. So yeah, I get kind of fired up when talking about games or when writing an opinion piece. It's just something I believe in strongly :)</p> <p>Cheers folks and again, have a great holiday season! </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=7049#post-40445 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 23:59:52 +0000 monkeygourmet 40445@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>@Dave</p> <p><a href="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ybQCNb4AuW4" rel="nofollow">http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ybQCNb4AuW4</a></p> <p>This helped me understand Scottish identity! ;) </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=7049#post-40442 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 23:42:40 +0000 polygem 40442@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>thx dave. i really enjoy your articles and comments a lot. keep being so passionate about games. it's a good thing that you have a strong opinion and represent that. it's very refreshing.<br /> thx vg247 community for fighting and sharing. i feel connected to some of you guys in a strange way;) even if this is just the internet and we mostly all just disagree.<br /> imho vg247 is a great place for videogameenthusiasts, it's something special really. an internet gem. i feel like we all kind of care about this little corner of the net. it's great.<br /> happy holidays to you all! </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=7049#post-40439 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 22:58:34 +0000 monkeygourmet 40439@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>Thanks Dave, you've had a great start to your hopefully long stay with VG247.</p> <p>Nice to see you bobbing and weaving in the comments section after your articles are put into our hands! :)</p> <p>Mark of a confident and passionate writer IMO.</p> <p>This site is the only site I bother with for news and now some of you're opinion pieces.

Could be Monday, could be later.</p> <p>So yeah, It's been an amazing time here since I started in July, you're an ace community, very welcoming, and I'm thankful that you offer good chat and insight on my pieces - I do read it all, and it's all useful.</p> <p>Also, sorry for being so opinionated in the comments at times - I should make it my resolution to stop that. I've always been a highly-strung individual, and I think part of it comes from being Scottish, I think ;)</p> <p>But yeah, thanks again, cheers for your feedback, and let's make 2013 the site's best yet. It's going to be a killer.</p> <p>Dave :D </p>
