Very honest, respect for putting how you feel about this stuff out there. There are some idiots out there and it can only take one or two to spoil the party. I've had similar experiences and deal with them in a similar way. Move on though, you'll soon put it behind you. Gah my first visit to this blog and I read this.

Despite the problems you face here, just keep in mind that a majority of people really do want your opinion, and that's why they read and watch the reviews. What's really funny (I just watched the review now), is that a lot of work had to go in by the guy who had to cut it, and put it back together. It really melds with Condemned 2's stuff, and these few people obviously don't understand what the underlying message is. Don't worry about them. :) Ah, don’t worry about it too badly, Kevin.

As you say, the anonymity of the internet breeds easy one-click hate from dick-heads around the world, but it also fosters complacency. I've always taken your reviews to heart when choosing whether or not to spend my hard earned cash on a game, and many times, you've saved me some money or you've opened up my gaming experience to something very enjoyable. I've just never said "thank you" or "good review" and given you a virtual pat on the back. So, with the advent of your hate-mail, I'll balance it out with my "thank you" mail. So, "thank you" Kevin, for years of wonderful reviews and entertainment. Sure, there are angry, mollusks out there who thrive on spitting in your face (virtual or real), but there are also that many people and more, who think you are doing a fine, fine job. Keep your head up, Kevin, because even though many of us don't voice our appreciation of your contributions to our hobby and passion of video games, we are out there, waiting on baited breath for the next review or episode of "On the Spot"! Good job, and keep 'em coming!

Don't let a bunch of immature assholes get you down. Hey Kevin,

Who cares what he thinks? Well, you, I guess. But you really shouldn't. That guy is just a narcissistic asshole who apparently begrudges people their successes. Who cares what he thinks?

Bottomline...just do what makes you happy and content. Believe me when I say that there's no small number of folks who'd want to be where you are right now as far as work is concerned. It's envy at the end of the day I tell you....frikkin envy. Don't let it get to you man. Let 'them' take all the trouble that they need....idiots. buddy….tell you what….just take up meditation…it’ll help with all this bloody hogwash that these charlatans keep throwing at you.

That shell will get thicker and more idiot-resistant with every passing review. Eventually the trick becomes to not lump the morons in with the rest of the faceless readers, and to understand that a vocal minority often reflects very poorly on what is otherwise a fine and upstanding lot of people.

Don't sweat it, Kevin––the quality of your work is impressive and improves with every review. I trust and value your work enough to make purchases based off your professional opinion.

You just gotta learn that these people have no idea what they are talking about and are just talking through their ass behind the safety of computer screen. If they were anywhere near as intelligent as you, they would have their own job as a video game journalist. Remember, you're the professional. All these people who send hate mail, well, they just wish they could be as good at what you do and be able to have the same job you do. There are always gonna be assholes like this.
