Title: Why I Love Something Awful

There's a 'Least Qualified Authors' thing in the Comedy Goldmine and I thought these two were particularly funny.

Yeah.

I get all of them(even the bible) except that '1984' one.

Kevin J. Andreson's Star Wars books aren't the most, um, popular Star Wars books out there.  I guess some people just think he plain sucks.

[edit]  To clarify, I think that 1984 pic is meant to make fun of Anderson because they think he could never write something like that.

I assumed it was an incorrect reference to Neo.

I have been known to be waaaay off the mark before.

Kevin J Anderson, also known as KJA, wrote rather horrible books for Star Wars, Dune and Starcraft, and possibly others too. Sci-fi fans generally hate his guts, because his writing quality sucks, and he writes a lot, for some of the most well-known sci-fi out there.
Generally, him writing anything good, well-known and recognised as an excellent book is just a teeny bit improbable, just like certain Mr. starting to be polite on the Internet.;) [and making games that don't catch enough flak to bring down a zeppelin]

Derek Smart? Nice? On the internet? And with games that don't suck? Surely you jest.

Proceed with caution.  Dr. Smart's hearing has an effective range of 1500 meters.   Try to lure the ego away from the target.

I don't think he will ever visit this board. He must have had enough of us for a life-time.

I'd think him seeing the HLP+SA power upgrade would cause his LOLMASSIVELOL head to explode.

Good lord people, never ever hotlink SA images!  This thread will soon become a wasteland of ****** and other unspeakable horrors!

I was just going to ask, when did SA suddenly decide it was okay to offsite link their images?

It's an automatic mechanism. They don't have some guy sitting at the server watching for offsite image requests.

I guess when we view this thread enough times and make enough request to their server something interesting might happen...
