Again, you guys fail to understand. But it's NWR, so that's to be expected I guess.
No, I understand completely what you mean.
As we say around here, the problem is not that the NWR staff are upset at Nintendo or believe that Nintendo is abandoning the hardcore. The problem is how OFTEN they make the claims and how they say it.
No one likes constant ranting and bitching, no matter the subject. Its OK to vent if it really frustrating you, but when you do it often it annoys people and makes them feel as if you want to shove your thoughts down your throat.
This is something that happens often at NWR. It seems that a game can't be discussed without someone dropping angst onto the subject, or discuss the Wii's lineup without claiming it sucks. Granted, this sort of thing happens all the time (we are on the interwebs mind you), but that doesn't mean its any less annoying.
This thread is an example of this. I'm not anyone to tell Hal how to write a personal blog. If he wanted to chronicle his PS3 purchase, its his right. However, some of the comments reeked of spite and superiority, making it LOOK like he is somehow better for buying a PS3.
The NWR members are no better. We LOVE to rattle the hornet's nest and get a masochistic joy out of discussing a never ending debate where everyone ends up looking foolish.
Finally, the Nintendo angst IS getting old. Yes, Nintendo's E3 show sucked major amounts of ass. Wii Music holds little promise and yes, more core games should have been shown.
The second week of August is nearly upon us, and people are STILL talking about the E3 of phail. At this point we are beating a dead horse.
And now for the tl:dr version: The NWR staff has the right to whine and bitch, but whine, bitch and troll too much and it gets annoying. The annoyed members aren't making it better.
