FWIW, I actually rather respect
some of staff there - Overlord in particular (even if he gets a bit heavy-handed with his anti-DRM spiels). Hell, I actually quite respected Tweaker before the whole...
incident. Can't say as you're on my bad side, either.
Not a big Chimpo fan, though.
[Dimensions was real etc]
If you cannot find it in you to trust Tristan, trust me.
I will admit I trust you a fair deal more than Tristan, but considering both Retro and
SRB2's Mystic (who, despite having wildly differing opinions from my own, I tend to respect quite a bit) treat him like the Fox News of the
Sonic scene, I'm very loathe to trust him directly, sorry.
Dimensions sounded waaay too overboard. I mean, yeah, this is the franchise that thought swordplay, lycanthropy and interspecies romance would all fit the series, so I suppose it's not
that out-there, but it sure as hell
felt it. (Then again, it could've turned out good -
Colors sounds dumb as hell on paper, but is pretty great in practice.)
That doesn't make it any less childish. The fact that there are so many Nintendo threads here but I can't mention by name one of the biggest Nintendo news outlet on the internet makes my blood boil.
Actually, to my understanding people on NeoGAF cite the Nintendo site you Go to all the time. EatChildren elaborated in one of the Wii U Speculation Threads that the ban was in place because of how they'll post
any rumor up on there. More to the point, even when marked as merely rumors, people were posting topics about them on NeoGAF despite the subjects seeming too out-there - without checking the sources Rawmeat Cowboy would cite to corroborate how valid it actually was.
It's not like VG Chartz; you can still cite them, aside from having to treat it like "The Scottish Play", but the block's there to make you double-think how valid the information is before posting it. Generally it's preferred to cite the source RMC cites, though.
