Doyle's latest blog entry...seems to have been translated from another language (Danish?) or something, definitely not similar at all to his usual writing...there have been times before where I've wondered if he's letting someone else write his blog but would he really just let some random Danish dude do it?

The style used is a tribute to Eastgate's return.

I'm Danish and I see no reason to believe, that this was originally written in Danish. My guess would just be a simple mistake post.. perhaps it should have been posted in some tournament coverage area or something?

TBH w/the way the economy is going I don't even think there will be any nut jobs anymore, so we don't have to worry about this. It's an interesting thought, however.

i can bet you its a hired person. Maybe only about 1-2% of people his age knows how to type efficiently. A person his age will take ages to type one sentence, let alone a blog.

Many pros do not write their own blogs, instead a ghost writer is employed. I've done a few ghosted articles myself in my time, none as bad as this though!

Ghost writer confirmed. This is a brief interview with Doyle's ghost writer:

He sure isn't going to pick up a stratocaster and outplay Yngwie Malmsteen, but he has written books, with a mechanical typewriter to boot, so he must have pretty good typing chops. And after a lifetime of chip shuffling and card playing, I wouldn't be surprised if his finger dexterity/mobility were exceptionally good.

Probably blogging from the afterlife. Sometimes things get garbled when crossing over.
RIP Doyle.

Blog was written by Bob and was mistakenly filed under "Doyle's Blog".

that post is so weird. i don't get half of what's in there, let alone why he/someone else is writing about this.

weird disposition to put this up, no matter who wrote it

"The tour made the all the gaming experience more and more attractive all the way with burning with Nyhavn as the best spot of all."

there was a rumor going around he'd been spotted smoking salvia with Miley Cyrus. that would be a possible explanation. or massive cerebral hemorrhage / migraine aura, also fits.
