The PC Gamer July issue (yes I'm behind on my periodical reading) featured 
the 150 greatest moments of gaming history since the magazine began 150 
issues ago. They named the gaming lows just for good measure, Outpost, BC3K, 
and Extreme Watersports were named as the PC gaming lows since the birth of 
PC Gamer. BC3K was a buggy POS is the basic paraphrased statement, plus they 
parenthetically add that DS is a whiny academic fraud of NPD proportions.

Wow, looks like another stop for the freight train. I'll have to check
that issue out (if I can still find it on the racks).

They really bring up the whole PhD thing?   What'd they say exactly?

No, I paraphrased, as mentioned. The whiny statement was closer paraphrased 
that Derek always said that the bugs were all Take2's fault.
