This time, I can *sorta* see his point (the "boy scout incident" aside - 
the boy scouts having had so many incidents, it's difficult to determine 
which has crossed Thrasher's horizon) Remember the female Ultima players 
getting all po'd when they couldn't be a female Avatar?

Besides - I like his reviews. How well I will enjoy a game correlates 
precisely to how much he hates it. :) I loved the "S" game.
