Most of you by now should be familiar withCooper Lawrence, the smug psychologist who grinned and giggledwhile slanderingBioWare’sMass Effectfor content she had neither witnessed nor indeed, had any experience with firsthand. Well, it seems that she’s now gettinga taste of her own medicine, as insulted gamers have swarmed onto Amazon to reviewher book. The catch? They’ve not read it, but just like she andMass Effect, that little detail hasn’t stopped them forming a belittling and negative opinion of it.

This kind of movement is something that these miserable hacks actually understand, and I’m not going to condemn a bit of good old-fashioned karma. Cooper Lawrence deserves this.
