Title: Ryu = sell-out
Post by: Ryu on October 09, 2001, 10:59:37 PM

Yes, my friends, it\'s time for you all to say bye-bye to Ryu\'s Reviews and articles altogether.  This happened awhile ago with the BCM (Backwards Compatibility Monday for you late bloomers), but now it will happen with all reviews and "specials" that I plan to do in the future through E3 2002, which I will be attending.  That includes reviews, the MGS revival, and pretty much any lengthy article in general other then certain responses to threads.

"Why, Ryu?  Why?"

Bascially, as the topic suggests, I\'m a sell out.  When it comes to money and free stuff (I think you can guess what specifically), I get weak in the knees.  I\'m not made of stone and I\'m not in this for "the good of the nation" or anything like that.  I\'ll take what I can get and PSEra\\GamcubeAdvance finally offered SOMETHING more then nothing and that something was quite a bit more then I would have asked for.

"Will you still be posting on the forums?"

Of course.  PSX2central is like my home away from home and I wouldn\'t dream of leaving you guys hanging.  Chances are, I\'ll send a few things from the E3 show floor your way and let you all, who could not attend, in on the hub-bub that is E3.  I\'ll also be here regularly posting and reading threads on a daily basis.

"Ryu, you\'re just posting this to get personal attention."

I didn\'t do ANYTHING in the thread topic to gain any attention except maybe type my username once.  It wasn\'t even in bold.  If that got your attention, then you love me, not the other way around. ;)

Seriously though, I\'m posting this because the few people who read my reviews and those who respond to the MGS Revival topics deserve to know which sites they are all going to and where they can go to find those reviews if they are interested in them.  I will not post links to my reviews unless otherwise requested.  If you are interested in my reviews or any helpful information, e-mail me Here (Tim@PSEra.com) and I\'ll get back to you as soon as possible.

Anyways, I\'d just like to thank those who have supported me all this time with my reviews and such and give them all a big fat wet kiss.  None of this would have been possible without the support of you guys (forum goers) and I thank each and every one of you in a collective sense. ;)

I\'ll update the Ryu\'s Review Recap thread for the last time in the main forum so look for it there tomorrow.  Anyways, have a good night everyone.

Hey Ryu, don\'t feel bad. I think I echo the sentiments of everyone here when I say I\'m happy for you. You have a gift, and you should be rewarded for sharing your talent. I hope you have lots of fun and get lots o\' $$$ at your new job.
And besides, you get to go to E3, thats reason enough.

Interesting Steve Austin analogy, Hamster.  However I won\'t be stomping a mudhole in anyone\'s ass around here. ;)

Ryu

Well I don\'t view you as a sellout. You\'re a very talented writer and if you can get paid or get any benefit for your efforts then kudos for you
