Will this site end up spamming the News Node?

[QUOTE=Soul-Chicken;24392691]Will this site end up spamming the News Node?[/QUOTE] Uh? This is the official website. It will be as active as it was previously.

I thought this site was for real news...

The font looks nice.

:sax:

Temporary theme, guys! It's nice, but it's the default wordpress theme. It'll be better in a bit

Wasn't GModCentral that one group of servers everyone hated for being minges and having retarded admins?

I hope the two websites will be battling for updates on new addons. :black101:

... What the fuck is this doing here ?

I'm sorry that font is very annoying.

I liked the interview

[QUOTE=Samuelgames;24423477]Is he really named Samuel? Haha awesome.[/QUOTE] Samuel was my brother's name... he died :(

[QUOTE=skynrdfan2;24424293]Samuel was my brother's name... he died :([/QUOTE] Okay look, I'm sorry for your loss and all. But I am sick as fuck of people going into threads and saying stuff like this, which has no real relevance at all except to get sympathy. Or maybe I'm just cynical, who knows.

I still want to see the final release of teh_oify.. :sigh:

[QUOTE=Boba_Fett;24431540]I still want to see the final release of teh_oify.. :sigh:[/QUOTE] I guess I could release the vmf. It's pretty messy, though.

[QUOTE=grea$emonkey;24431807]I guess I could release the vmf. It's pretty messy, though.[/QUOTE] oh my god oh my god oh my god, he's the guy from the interviews!! oh my god!

[QUOTE=grea$emonkey;24431807]I guess I could release the vmf. It's pretty messy, though.[/QUOTE] That would be great. The map was super cool to play with friends in co-op.

Teh_Cheese : It's not that I don't like the interview, I've read it and enjoyed reading it, but this is Gmod news and interviews aren't really news, I don't care that we get an interview once in a while, but I don't think it would be wise to spam the news node with non-release news.

I didn't enjoy this one since I don't see what is so important gmod-wise about grea$emonkey. Nothing against the man, but the title of the interview highlights him as being the "Facepunch GMOD moderator", fact that I believe doesn't raise any interest to anyone that plays gmod and doesn't frequent facepunch. Plus in the interview itself the fact that he's a moderator isn't even questioned and all the interviewer and the interviewee talk about is LUA. Which is fine, but the title doesn't reflect that. And since I'm being nitpicky the introduction is pretty bad. Instead of presenting the interviewee to the reader (the interviewee should never have to talk about himself IMO) we have a small phrase that basically ends tells the reader "we're interviewing person X". Work on that on future reviews or get someone studying journalism or something like it to do these things. Or someone with a background in journalism, why not. My opinion? Next time, interview Gmod's other coder. That's bound to be an interesting review.

hey grea$emonkey do you have the oify fix files? because that had the faceball and megaball in it, and you cant beat the level without them

I'd love to get some info on sakarias, he's quite a mystery currently Albeit a very talented mystery [editline]07:18PM[/editline] Nice interview here aswell

The small fonts on PM's threw me off. :xd:

If it were still under garrysmod.com than it would be different. But this new website gives us the opportunity to be less formal. As for the title, I find the fact him being a moderator a bit significant as it tells the audience who he exactly is, him being an advanced Lia coder is mentioned prior to the interview as well; the introduction. As for your journalism suggestion, again, we're not supposed to be too formal as this is no longer the offical website but rather the community ran website. To clarify, to do a bad job can't be justified by what I said, but complaining about how it "isn't like journalism, not formal" e.g Is different.
