A few notes before we get to the top 5 comments of the week:
Yesterday's Team Fortress 2 playdate was awesome! Thanks to those of you who joined. If you couldn't make it, we'll hold another one soon. Head to the forums and find the TF2 thread there to talk about when you want the next playdate to happen!
We had a ton of nominations this week! Thank you for helping to highlight the lowly commentariat! Remember, you can send me a PM, post in The People Speak forum thread (link below), or just reply to a comment with "Nominate for People Speak" or something to that effect! Pay that commenting love forward!
That said, our newly implemented comment rating system DOES have an affect on a comment's worthiness for The People Speak. A nomination isn't enough! If your comment is hidden due to a large batch of thumbs pointing downwards, you won't get featured in The People Speak!
We're coming up on our quarterly The People Speak drawing. REMEMBER: every comment featured is an entry to win and EVERY NOMINATION also acts as an entry to win!

Cougar DLC you roam the west mauling people out of nowhere.
This Just In: Fox News is Dumb
Comment by SweetHat. Nominated by Masterwabbit.
Whats funny is my uncle swore by faux news (pun intended) he would defend them like a rabid badger. Then one day i showed him the ammount of idiocy and shere Brilliant stupid mistakes they made and he changed his mind really quickly. My uncle is a former Teacher and he told me the words i will never forget.
"You may be able to bring fair and balanced news to the masses, but if you dont have a grasp on at least a High school English understanding, then your just a bunch of retards discovering their private parts for the first time."
Needless to say this went in the "cool **** my uncle said" book.
What the Hell is Respawn Entertainment Up To?
Comment by Mr_Pieper. Nominated by used44.
Its a blurry picture of smokestacks protruding from a giant building. This leads me to believe Respawn is moving into the lucrative world FPFW. The First Person Factory Worker genre will finally be given its fair shake in gaming.
Valve Vs Other Game Developers
Comment by NickKmet. Nominated by danielrbischoff.
Valve doesn't "crank out more games." Quite the contrary, they haven't cranked out anything really recently. They, unlike other developers, invest more into their game communities and fixing and improving their games once released. Also, it helps that they have a digital distribution service of their own that makes piracy kind of a moot point (when you have to have a steam account with a valid licence tied to it for some games). They also have done very little to piss off their fan base, as opposed to some other publishers/developers.
Forum Thread: So why am i meant to use steam?
Post by Eyebrowsbv31. Nominated by NickKmet.
So instead of paying, ordering and waiting for a pizza of your own you'd rather punch the deliver man at your neighbors door and steal his pizza.
So blame the internet.
Madster, you still fail. Your opitions aren't A. Buy and download and B. pirate it. It's A or don't f****** steal the game before we're all forced to play all games on one super system we have no control over, and then the whole thing falls into a world of shitness.
Christ, do something else. Go outside, ride a bike, have a run, kill some of the rabbits that plague your country.
