  Old Man Murray - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Old Man Murray was perhaps the most critical of game criticism sites, and was harsh on games that were overhyped or received strong reviews elsewhere, most notably Trespasser and the King's Quest series.
Old Man Murray often took aim at the conventions embedded within game genres, such as the "bizarre dream logic" required to solve puzzles in various adventure games (most notably Sierra Entertainment titles), or the ubiquity of crates and cowardly scientists as a design element in first-person shooter titles.
Old Man Murray was still running as of 2006, but for archival purposes only; the site is no longer updated.

 Old Man Murray gives Portal its voice - Joystiq
Old Man Murray went out of commission in 2002 but remains up for historical purposes.
Old Man Murray devised a Crate Review System, whereby one would judge a game based on the time it took to find a crate (unit: StC, or Start to Crate).
The team decided to make a crate one of the first things you see in the game -- a decision that Newell opined "was the Old Man Murray equivalent of throwing yourself to the mercy of the court." That Wolpaw and Faliszek work for Valve is a perfect example of situational irony.

 A quote from Andrew Murray - TheologyWeb Campus
Here is a quote from Andrew Murray that I believe accurately describes the choice one makes to come to salvation and the reality of God not intruding on man's free will....
As for “the reality of God not intruding on man's free will,” this is fallacious nonsense because it’s quite obvious from the Scriptures that if GOD didn’t Sovereignly overrule human wills, then everyone would end up in Hell where, because of their sin and sinfulness, they all rightly belong.
Heb 4:12 (KJV) For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
