Not intentionally trying to be a sensationalist, I must admit that I don’t like this “N guy” all that much.  He seems to have gained the public adoration after sticking it to “the man” with his bet against Jay Allard back in 2004.  Call it hating, call it jealousy, call it whatever you want, I just don’t like N’Gai Croal.

I don’t usually agree with him and I don’t like the way he writes.  Sure I know I’m not a Peabody winner myself but sometimes you can’t really read his stuff without pausing and trying to figure out what his original point was.  A big fan of the comma myself, I realized whilst reading his article that we should limit its use and that of its close friend the parentheses whenever possible.

It seems as though the gaming community has accepted this gai simply because he has apparently broken into the mainstream media by getting a job reporting on video games with Newsweek magazine.  He had a guest appearance on the 1Up Yours podcast during which the regulars were quick to break out the kneepads.  Although well spoken, I still didn’t agree with many of the things he had to say. Perhaps I don’t feel like he has paid his dues.

This opinion of him didn’t form until after I had read some of the stuff he has written and listened to him speak on 1Up Yours. I am not a fan of the N’Gai club.  I Am I alone here?
