The difference between anyone in any form of media or other influential position is not that they necessarily know better, its just that they can spread their message further.
I'd never heard of him before the mentions on this here forum myself, but from what I gather, having the audience is allowing him to work it as a job with an income, rather than just a hobby... Obviously the part of him that makes the videos and sells the ad space on them is the serious business, the part of him that paints virtual aircraft to look like animals of the savannah is the gamer. Not to be confused!

I totally agree, though I think its the wrong thing to concentrate on - I'm looking for PS2 to blow my socks off with a solid shooter experience combined with the sheer scale of it and the whole 'thousands of players' thing. Anything else that I like or dislike about it I will learn to live with provided the core game works well.
