Recent IGN mailbag had some really priceless questions and comments in their mailbag.

Here's a good sample.

Do you guys know if God of War 3 is coming to the Xbox 360?

- Brandon

Goodness, I love easy questions like this. God of War 3 is absolutely not coming to the 360. If you're asking this question, then I have to imagine you're either too young to be writing into an entertainment website without a parent's permission, or you're a raging 360 fanboy on meth. Or, I suppose, you could just be a casual gamer that isn't familiar with the logistics of things. But that final option seems unlikely.

God of War 3 is one of Sony's first party titles, so it will rarely -- if ever -- travel outside of the company's platforms. In fact, the God of War franchise is so important to Sony, I could never see Kratos killing gods on another console.

But the question I pose to you, Brandon, is this: when is Halo 4 coming to the PS3?

- Ryan Clements

I was wondering if I could be an honourary hit of the week because I have had my PS3 for a long time now and am just getting online because I had to convince my brother and sister that we wouldn't be getting a virus (they are as into the industry as me) and find a good router. Finally I am online but unfortunatly most of my friends have 360's, so I might as well be playing with fellow beyond listeners. Thanks.

P.S. - Will Modern Warfare 2 have trophies?

- Justin

Hey—

Yes. All PS3 games need to have Trophies nowadays.

Noob.

Seriously, these people visit IGN, they're supposed to be the gamer crowd.  I get quite a few retarded comments like this from customers where I work... but stuff like this?  Like how could you mistake IGN for Microsoft customer support?  I always get asked about a "Mario game on PS2" at work but someone that visits game sites don't know God of War is owned by Sony or understand what exclusive is? 

It just astounds me sometimes, I wonder who these people are (I can only imagine doing horrible things to them). I know they're apart of the uninformed masses that just buy games, but if you're interested enough in God of War III to ask questions couldn't you inform yourself and... well read the box of Gow 1 & 2? It says who owns the rights on the box!

/end rant

Wow. And there's this gem in the comments:

it shows how much america loves to fuck canada over first the soft wood lumber, then banning meat because of mad cow, then blocking canadians from watching videos online because they can and now charging us more for consoles. Fuck u americunts oh must i remind u what goes up must come down. didn't u know that half of the electricty u cunts get in eastern cuntland is supplied by canadian hydro, and dont forget our BC bud. canadian game developers should release their games 5 months after in the us then canada, so u pricks wont be able to get the old republic, mass effect 2 & 3, splinter cell series, assassins creed, Rainbow six, and many other good games until we feel like u can get them. FUCK U AMericunts burn in fuckign hell [-] Minimize Commentit shows how much america loves to fuck canada over first the soft wood lumber, then banning meat because of mad cow, then blocking canadians from watching videos online because they can and now charging us more for consoles.

It would be hilarious if those people did actually send IGN their credit card number, social security number, mother's maiden name, and all of that

Even worse are the statements which are completely wrong, because they sound confident in themselves.

-God of War III is coming to 360 (yes, I've heard this too)

-GTA IV was banned in Japan (a couple of months ago, this was)

-I played God of War on the Xbox (yeah, sure- he also claimed to have done this before God of War even launched)

And quite a few more, from different people. It's more amusing than anything else.

I just read a hilarious one from last week:

in smackdown vs raw 2010 can u add more people and more costumes and more hair styles and mask for jeff hardy and reymysterio and can u make the blood more real so they can have cuts brooses and blood on there back or there stomach or legs anywhrere and can u add glass tables to and can u have at leasyt 1-5 coustumes on 1 superstar i hope you do evrything i said and i hope this game is the best ageme i had evered paly out of smackdowns pleasz try to put everything i said thank you

Before I hit the bulk of your email, let me start off by saying that we do not make games. We do not lay out the features that we want in them. We do not write the stories. We do not license the wrestlers, vehicles, athletes or bands for any title on any system. We simply play and write about them.

That bit aside, let it be known that every development team, including the folks at Yukes working on the SmackDown franchise, have limited resources. If they could include every single feature that everyone in the world could think of, they probably would, but it's impossible given the time that it takes to put these things into the game. You want a new release this year, right?

As far as the blood goes, that may bring up a ratings issue. A little bit of spurting blood is different than blood that douses the ring and other wrestlers. Were the latter the case, you might see the game wind up with an M rating, which, in your case, probably means that you wouldn't be allowed to buy it.

- Chris Roper, Editor-In-Chief, IGN PlayStation

Oh man. It's sad I actualy hear this kind of comments from real experienced players. I have a neighbor who's a legend! :P

It just goes to show that you can play games all day long and still end up with the reasoning capacity of a walnut.

Don't tell Jack Thompson.

Sssh.  There are many who would argue that playing video games all day is what contributes to people having the reasoning capacity of a walnut.

It doesn't, directly, although a little break for some education does help!

Idiots are just idiots, whether they're playing video games or playing chess.

That reminds me of when I was, like, 6 or 7 and wrote Nintendo to ask them to put more guys (including the Ultimate Warrior~!~!~!) in "their" next WWF game.

Ah think gamin huz givin me a gud edjumakashun...
