The society of bitchers and whiners.
Yes they have always had comments in the news articles, which is stupid. (just like the media.) If you want to make a PERSONAL comment about the article, at least put it in the post below the NEWS article itself.


EDIT: Now I'm going to go look at porn.

Or you could go elsewhere. Maybe they'd be happy to listen to you bitch and take your fine suggestions on board?

It was great in the Polish version :P . It's good that they're redoing it, but I'm afraid it still won't be as good as the original. Some things are impossible to translate correctly.

I thought the idea of a news post was to remain neutral and impartial. You post a link to the info. and let the reader decide for himself.

All I have to say is that the combat had better be turn based.
Neutrality sucks and I hate people who post news and then post another comment with their thoughts. Rex used to do that all the time. The whole point of the Codex is to bitch and moan about the state of the RPG industry. I have an opinion that you disagree with, fine. Stop whinging that I dared to give my opinion and instead of throwing in the ad hominems without any further substance to your post what-so-ever, actually tell me why you disagree. Reading a bunch of fanboi's whining that they hate DU kinda gets old. I knew that already. New information plz.

Rex. What did he do after Hellgate: London turned out to be poor? I assume he's running a couple of fansites somewhere.

It's not comments i care about, it's the selective quoting.

Oh god, I can't believe I'm going to participate in this thread. I never even played The Witcher. Here goes.

I can only speak for myself, but the issue I had was that it looked like you were pissed about everyone arguing against you in the other Witcher thread so you create a news item out of some random blog post that kind of agreed with you. It seemed petty. I don't mind snarky comments at the end of newsposts that cut through the ridiculous hype most games put out, but using the front page as a way to win stupid arguments... not so much.

I think you're looking at it in the wrong way. I thought it was funny as hell. Everyone whining about the first post and then - BAM - he follows up with another one that tightens the screws on everyone all the more. It's a tease.

Honestly, there are people here who think I post news because I hate VD so much, that whenever a news item about him is posted, I have to bury it. Needless to say, I long stopped caring about how people perceive any news item I post. If two news posts turn up a day after each other that allow me to hammer home my point of view, you're damn right I'll take advantage of it. Particularly when everyone's going to whinge about it anyway.

EDIT: By the way, I'm a little disappointed nobody complained when I posted a third news item about The Witcher a day later. Even with sarcastic hairstyle remark!
