Shacknews please get off of Blizzards dick already. I don't know about anyone else, but I'm getting pretty sick of all these useless Blizzard articles clogging up the place. Fuck, this one doesn't even go by the pretence of an article and just jumps right into promoting whatever stupid contest they're running.
God damned that "Stay Awhile and Listen" joke is pissing me off already.
First two sentences and they're already sucking off Blizzard

Yes, yes they are.
I've played many a blizzard game and none of those have really stuck with me forever. Stuff like Half-Life, DOOM, and Super Mario 64, however, will probably stick with me for the rest of my life.

Yes, until you realize that the rare drops you get turn out to be complete shit :v:
Experiences that will stick with us forever? If you mean waking up at release for D3 just to be met with error 34 for 2 hours then yeah, [i]best experience[/i]

You mean for one week.

You realize you are crying to a bot right.
[QUOTE=Raidyr;38402786]You realize you are crying to a bot right.[/QUOTE]
I wasn't "crying" and I wasn't addressing the bot its self, I was expressing my dislike for shacknews' pointless "reports". There's a pretty big and easily identifiable difference. If I had been saying "OMG Shacknews stop posting these threads" or something then I'd understand.

Well the bot isn't sentient, it posts all their news stories.
If you are tired of seeing Blizzard stories I guess I'm sorry? But they are really popular with a lot of gamers so they tend to make a lot of headlines. The best course of action would probably be to not click on News Node articles you don't care about rather than bitching on Facepunch about them.

He's complaining because the bot is mostly shit and someone chose to have it here, you see.
Here's an experience
i paid $60 for a game that had half the content of its predecessor
i played it a couple times before getting hacked, bored, and never touched it again
the end you swindling bastards

ShackNews is just posting Blizzard articles because their games are insanely popular and those articles will get more views. The top viewed article right now is actually about the Diablo 3 expansion being confirmed.

So ? people can complain about having a bot here or not, and removing shacknews would be pretty understandable i think.
Also filling your "news" site with a bunch of crappy filler articles is a bad thing in case you didn't know.

At least we don't have to read RPS anymore.
[QUOTE=devcon;38409310]At least we don't have to read RPS anymore.[/QUOTE]
I'd prefer RPS over this any day, in fact I do and I read RPS more than I read articles from shacknews that crop up here.
You see their articles are actually interesting to read and don't end with "Go to this other site to read more about what we just copied onto ours!"
[QUOTE=devcon;38409310]At least we don't have to read RPS anymore.[/QUOTE]
RPS is much better than shacknews IMO
people bitched about RPS when it was around too.

WoW would like to have a word with you.
But I agree on Half-Life.

That's why I never bought D3 in the first place. I knew a lot of people will buy it, in fact I thought I would buy it, but I just waited for a second to realize it sucked before spending a dime on it.
Blizzard was great until WoW, it was just downhill from there.
