sorry if i came out as a bit hostile, i was just having a bad day, and when i saw your guide, i thought maybe it would show me what i wanted to know.He blames it on having a bad day. Ok, so maybe you were having a bad day; there's no way for me to say you weren't. He admits that my guide is "researched" and wants me to take this to another level and do a treasures guide. He also wants to help. Sorry, but not interested; it's been 4 years since RE4 and I'm ready for RE5's Gold Edition, as well as thumbing through Zelda and iTablet rumors.
i see however, you have researched your guide, and maybe you could do a treasures and keys guide aswell? i would love to lend a hand in describing where all the treasures are that i can remember.
and i remember everything lol.
sorry if i ofended you.
hoping you are well, and all that other shit.

I received an email late last night from a reader - not a blog reader - who has some...distaste towards a guide I wrote for Resident Evil 4. Specifically, I wrote a Version Difference Guide, detailing differences between the GameCube and PS2 versions of the game. Here's what he had to say:
hello, my name is david "kinda obvious from my email addy", and i wanted to tell you, that your FAQ,whatsitcalled on resident evil four, has more holes in it then swiss cheese... i got sick of your mistakes by the time i read ur bit on the blacktails firepower on exclusive... IT IS NOT 3.4, IT IS 4.5 ON THE GAMECUBE. and i should bloody well know, seeing as ive finished it about 28 times now, and im playing it again on pro mode, 3rd round.
i cannot have any opinions on seperate ways, or several of the parts wich the GC misses out on, but i am sick to death of all your mistakes... i will read your guide again, and make a list on the mistakes. i will also give you all the corrections for your mistakes.
but you also forgot to mention something, that even my 4 year old nephew knows... leon looks totally awesome when he wears his pimp suit, and sits in saddlers throne. you forgot that... and you also forgot to mention that once you stand up from that chair, you also look directly above the doorway you came in from, and a treasure becomes painfully obvious as it is just HANGING above the doorway.
i wish i could get the pimp suit on the GC version... ahwell, illhave to get a wii and buy the wii version.
thank you for reading this. i look forward to sending you the full and complete list of all your GC vers mistakes.
This is a copy/paste of his email; I have not altered it in any way. Notice near the end he mentions his 4-year old nephew. For fuck's sake, why are you letting your 4-year old nephew watch you play Resident Evil 4?
Well, I retaliated in the best way: professionalism. Head past the break for my response.
