I can hear the fox haters now.:doubt:

Does this change anything?

All games with liberal leaning producers will be given crappy ratings? :lol:

Abandon ship!
I already posted this on bluesnews, but I'm really bored, so......
[q] IGN Fox Reviews;
Battlefield 2: Modern Combat
Too many Arabs and Commies. Provision of medics and rewarding of teamwork is dangerously liberal and amounts to a welfare state.
IL-2
Too many commies. Implies the US did not singlehandedly win world war 2
Halo
Blasphemy. Has..er...a halo without angels to match. And guns (which are ok to own, but not see in a videogame).
SimCity
Implies any ordinary person can do a better job than Our Beloved President. Clearly an enemy of freedom.
Half Life 2
Encourages liberal rebellion and freedom of speech in a time of danger; implies oppression is not a fair price for security. Clearly unpatriotic.
Sims 2
Freedom of behaviour and choice? The commie pinko bastards![/q]

and this is different from the way GS reviews things HOW? :p

I hope this doesn' change anything, as long as the Gamespy Forums stay free!
@Aldo
:lol:

It's clever, really. IGN reviews the games, points out the bits that justified the rating, and FOX News covers the 'outrage' (http://culture.joystiq.com/entry/1234000370053344/) (well, Jack Thomspoons insane rantings).
It's like a perpetual motion news...sorry, "moral outrage"* machine.
*news would imply some degree of factual content, which is against the FOX Philosphy. We can't have the proles actually getting educated, otherwise they might choose to vote for themselves.

If they try screwing with PlanetDescent or HLP, they're asking for it. :p
-
Wondered why HLP kept going down...
-
Yea...must've been because of this merger...
We'll wait and see...but for some reason I have a bad feeling about what's gonna happen to HLP...
-
Humfff... I`ll wait for an admin to post his thoughts before I say anything on the matter...
Waits :D

Personally I like FOX News.... granted I only get to see it every 2-3 years or so, when I visit relatives in the US, but still. :p
I don't care, really. I remember when GS was solo, before IGN bought them up. What's the difference that we'll be in the belly of an even bigger fish now?

that HLP will go largely unnoticed?..

That's a problem because...?

didn't say that's a problem, it's a good thing 'cuz we'd be less likely to be noticed by the powers that be. :nod:

Hey they might change the ToS to include a page 3 girl in every hosted site! ;)
-
Yes, I to remember HLP when it first hit the web... Boy did it change, it got better :D
I`m also happy to see the owner change may not mean anything...
Well i`ve got to admit, I seldom give in to change, hehe, except where the wife is concerned.. Sometimes you just have to take dissapointments and do your best to go with the flow.. Nothing wrong with that, no chip on my shoulder, sorta speak...
The truth is, I can`t say how i`d act or feel if HLP suddenly dissapeared.. I guess i`d move on, but without HLP i`d probably get into trouble because i`d get bored and check out some porn. :nervous: That would really piss off the wife because she`d think she wasen`t good enough, or say she was fat, or ugly, which she is not... So stay around and keep me on the path..
Pointed in the right direction, towards Hard Light Productions... :D :D

Interestingly enough, I've experienced dynamic server flakyness for the past day. Unrelated I'm sure but certainly an interesting coincidence.
