I can certainly relate. I hid the politics section, but every once in a while a political thread pops up in a different section and I find myself getting sucked in. I've gotta say, GBAtemp is way more usable with that dastardly subforum hidden!
I like that games can be fixed after the fact, hate that it's being abused via beta tests... And DLC... I was a 7800 owner back in the day and loved Impossible Mission, turns out I couldn't beat it because it was actually impossible lol
