    I love it how everyone likes to tear into someone when they aren't around to defend themselves. So since no one tried to see my point I will explain it here not that it matters anyway. Yes the last piece of my article was plagiarism, but it was not intentionally believe it or not. Some people know that I use MiRC a lot to chat to other gamers and we had this discussion that bought on my blog post I made. And someone posted that which at the time I assumed was his own words as I dont read penny arcade for the most part only look at the pretty pictures. So I asked him if I can use it in my blog post and he said yes, unknowing of course that it was something directly from Penny Arcades website. Only after Skurm posted the original in my post did I noticed what happened. So I made the changes accordingly by quoting it and adding the source both on the Prophecy blog and Wordpress blog, and I will make the changes on the MyGaming forum accordingly.

    I take full responsibility for what happened and I shouldn't have in hind sight used anything that comes off a public chat room, as I probably got trolled and did not even notice it. And I am usually thorough with doing my research on blog pieces. I apologies to everyone for miss leading them and using someone else's work in my blog piece and stating it as my own. I will make a blog post apologizing to all the readers for miss leading them. And in hind sight I should have handled it better by replying to Skurms post and updating my piece by saying the above. But I didn't so I will gladly take any criticism that comes my way.

    [Edit] I will also post a written apology on both forums.
