Editor's Comments: Some people really don't like using walkthroughs at all. They feel that they are degrading to the game's experience. Astrid recently learned that walkthroughs can sometimes be beneficial.

Wait! June can't be over already! It just started...

Well, it seems my days are starting to be numbered. I really should start packing soon. And by packing I mean throwing a lot of things away and tossing the rest in boxes in a somewhat coherent fashion.

This week we have a nice assortment of editorials for your reading pleasure. Astrid returns with a revelation on walkthroughs. Tom questions to what lengths gamers will go for vanity. Gabriel delivers part two of his three part series. Finally, we have a new fan editorialist joining us to share his views on RPG classification.

I like the fact that I am posting fan editorials again. How about we continue the trend and shoot for even more in July? Remember, if you want to throw around some ideas, we're always happy to help in #edscorner!
