You seem to be the only person who thinks that.
When i started this topic in the FOG chat forums it got just under 200 posts in 2 hours. 95 percent of the people thought it was a good post.

i think we got over 100 different uses for the Gamecube submitted by the general public. Cant really be that poor. sorry. Try harder next time.
