Dipswitch: So THAT'S Where He Gets Them From

Rumors fuel the collective fire of the video game industry. I can't imagine what sites like N4G.com would do without them on a day to day basis. From the sublime, to the ridiculous, it's as if some people couldn't handle a daily dose of reality without a sprinkling of what could be.

I have to admit, I love rumors just as much as the next person. I read one, and if it tickles my fancy, I sit there and feel my inner child begin to awaken and bounce with excitement.

Sometimes, I do wonder if whomever came up with a rumor was on drugs, but invariably, I believe rumors are founded in some form of fact. Perhaps some of the more outlandish ones are expanded upon in order to garner more hype (*cough* traffic *cough) but you will invariably find out something down the line that you can connect to dots to.

The one disappointing thing about the advent of the internet, is that there are so few secrets anymore. From Barack Obama's cabinet choices, to the exclusives being shown at the VGA awards (don't forget, first God of War 3 and Uncharted 2 footage this Sunday, December 14th at 9PM Eastern!), there is a severe dearth of surprise left when it comes to announcing anything of consequence in our daily lives.

I really do miss the days when I would be utterly blind sided by an announcement.
