GR Mailbag: We be dope

Posted on Monday, March 20 @ 12:13:14 Eastern by Duke_Ferris

We received quite a few entries in response to last week's impromptu essay contest. While many of you certainly wowed us with your grammatical magic and brown-nosing wizardy, we had to select only one winner.

And clearly, that winner is Hirohito99.

Some of you might recognize the name. As a frequent "contributor" to the mailbag, Hirohito really took the essay contest to heart, sending in 4 - count 'em - 4, essays for our (and your) reading enjoyment.

So with no further ado, we proudly present...

Essay #1 - GR Giant Robots
From: 
Subject: My essay
Game revolution is like so cool because you guys are like 
GIANT ROBOTS like Voltron and you guys defeat evil and then 
review games in your spare time which is like the coolest 
things for you guys to do because you saved the world when 
you defeated that GIANT SPACE LIZARD with your big assed 
sword by chopping him in half then you told me not to buy 
the Spice Girls game which really saved my butt because if 
I would have bought the Spice Girls game instead of Driver 
I bet I would have been so bummed I would have jumped out
in front of a bus or something and that would have been 
lame so its like you guys saved the world one day and then 
saved my life the next.
PS: Could you guys come to a school here where I live and 
tell kids not to do drugs. Most of the kids moms around here 
are crack ho's and GIANT ROBOTS telling kids not to do drugs 
would be like the best thing ever.
Essay #2 - He's Probably Drunk
Its like almost midnight here and I am reading your web page. 
Does that make me cool? Am I cooler than Richard Pryor? 
I would like to be. I bet Richard Pryor can play The Sims and not 
have any Sim wet themselves. He's so cool. You guys are too. 
Tell my wife I love her and don't write anymore reviews 
about racing games. It's lame and you guys are not lame. 
Later!
Love,
Hirohito99
Essay #3 - Am I a clown? Do I amuse you? How am I funny?
Why I like Game Revolution
By Hirohito99
I like game revolution because of the funny pictures in 
the game reviews.  Sometimes I like to just look at the 
pictures of the authors and laugh. I even laugh myself 
to sleep at night thinking about these funny pictures.
Game Revolution is the coolest site on the web because 
they have funny pictures at the top of their pages. I 
like Game Revolution very much. I wish they would come 
over and give me a cheat for Madden 2K that would make
Bret Fabre self destruct at halftime. Even if they didn't 
I would buy them all a beer I like them so much.
The End.
Essay #4 - Word to our mothers.
From: (******@MichaelHoligan.Com)

Hirohito just won a few games. Plus a free trip* anywhere in the known universe!

*Note: All costs associated with aforementioned "free trip" will be paid by the winner, Hirohito99. This includes, but is not limited to: airfare, room, lodging, other travel expenses (car rental, gas, bus and cab fare), all food expenses (breakfast, lunch, brunch, dinner, and snacks), all shopping expenses, hookers, booze, heavy drugs, light drugs, bail money, court fees, and all other expenses deemed legitimate by Game Revolution.
