I don't see how this qualifies as news.
uh oh
I wish this bot would stop spreading it's Mojang and Minecraft fetishes on everything.
Minecraft! Do you like Minecraft! We like Minecraft! Minecraft's the bestest game in the world? Ashamed you bought Aliens: Colonial Marines? Buy Minecraft: game of the year, all years! Minecraft cures cancer! Minecraft justifies a trip to Disneyland Paris! Minecraft! Suck Minecraft's dick and you'll vomit gold for the rest of your life! MINECRAFT! MINECRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAFT! - PCGamerN
I'm pretty sure the bot aggregates content from all of the N's, and subsequently all of the Minecraft shit gets dumped here too. I wish there was a way to stop that because it really is getting annoying.
who the hell blogs on a news site
The 'article' doesn't even have proper title capitalization.
Maybe the article writer should go back to school.

Blogpunch Studios.
Someone needs to tell Paul Dean to tone it down a little with this shit.
They just need to do a RSS feed without MinecraftN

[QUOTE=Funny Hats;39705931]Someone needs to tell Paul Dean to tone it down a little with this shit.[/QUOTE] It is Paul Dean's job to predominantly write about Minecraft and World of Tanks for PCGamesN so I'm afraid he won't be toning it down any time soon. The point of our site is that we picked some of the games with the most active communities and chose to supply regular coverage of what they are creating and what is changing with their games. I'm very sorry that you are getting tired of reading all our coverage of Minecraft, my only advice would be that as we put the name of the game in every headline you could just skip over the article.

Woah. I get it this is a shit article but what ever happened to Facepunches collective hardon for minecraft?
[QUOTE=Muthenfrucheir;39715604]Woah. I get it this is a shit article but what ever happened to Facepunches collective hardon for minecraft?[/QUOTE] It died out after notch spent half of 2011 on vacation.

It's a minecraft article, I hate minecraft, so I will click this article and proceed to complain about it.
[QUOTE=Muthenfrucheir;39715604]Woah.

Keep in mind, though, that we didn't create the bot that is scraping our site. We will write about what we choose, it's unfortunate that the site doesn't fit into the category you've put us in but it's not really on us.
Yeah, I agree. While I'm not personally much of a minecraft fan anymore, that doesn't mean others shouldn't have the right to read about it in this subforum if they feel like doing so.
