  Apparently Read Dead Redemption is the best game of all time...

  If you havent yet looked through the special achievement awards section yet, Ill save you the trouble: RDR won almost every category it was entered in, including Best Story, Best Writing/Dialogue, Best Voice Acting, Best Ending and Best New Character. The people, on the other hand, have spoken out and have named their own winners:

  Best Story: ME2

  Best Writing/Dialogue: ME2

  Best Voice Acting: ME2

  Best Ending: RDR

  Best New Character: RDR

  RDR also won a few "less important" awards such as Best Atmosphere, Best Original Music, and Most Improved Sequel. I dont know if Rockstar payed off Gamespot or what, but almost every comment under each award RDR wins expresses an utter disbelief in the huge bias Gamespot has towards "GTA IV set in the wild west". Personally I dont see any way that RDR could win Best Story or Best Writing/Dialogue over Mass Effect 2, and I think Mordon Solus alone should win Best Voice acting for ME2 as well.

  The only reason I can see Gamespot giving so many of these "minor" awards to RDR is to set the stage for them to give GOTY to someone else *cough cough Mass Effect 2 cough* without an uproar from the Read Dead fanboys. Still, Gamespot should treat each award as its own independent event instead of having a bias for or against a certain game.

  (hopeful) grading error

  So today my professor just posted the grades for our differential equations midterm, and I did very VERY poorly. I'm fairly confident that there must be some kind of mistake, as I'm confident I got every question right except for 1 or 2, and with partial credit the lowest possible grade I could have reasonably gotten was still 20% higher than what I got. Idk, the midterm is only worth 15% of the final grade, but I would prefer to get my grade "correct", assuming I did as well as I thought I did.
