zzzzzz

i thought your spinoff site massively was supposed to be your mmo version of joystiq now

geves @ Nov 4th 2007 5:20AM

And the WoW site. Nope this is to annoy the majority of "gamers" that don't play/quitting a crap MMORPG. (oh wait most of us don't pay monthly fees).

If your "sister site" is failing. Don't report it.

Oops...I mean... TL:DR (since 4chan humor is what all the cool kids are doing).

click for moar after the break/jump... I bet if it was researched it wouldn't lead to joystiq.

Aside from being a jerk. If we liked wow, there's plenty of wow/class specific blogs to go to.

How about posting some moar guitar hero news links, like every other boring ass blog (a month ago that was super relevant).

oops. I mean...what's WoW?

I like joystiq, but lately there's been shameless plugs for your other sites. EGM tried that before epic failure (EGM2). Until people learn history, they are doomed to repeat it.

Why are you guys getting so upset? Joystiq is a gaming blog, and if I'm not mistaken, WoW is a game.

Jeff @ Nov 4th 2007 9:21AM

Eh, but honestly, none of us give a crap about esoteric details of things that have their own sites-- sites that we'd read if we gave a crap.

I know it's Sunday when the WOW Roundup shows up on Joystiq.

Without it, I wouldn't know what day it was.

playwhutyalike @ Nov 4th 2007 6:49PM

Let me clarify that I am not hating on the WoW or Joystiq posting wrap ups on it. I was just trying to make a time/relation joke here.

You know, because I'm a total dork like that.

Squeedom @ Nov 4th 2007 10:40AM

Why cant you just post these on the sites that crrespond to their subject. Like when you guys do nightly round ups. that does not bother me because its on , YOUR SITE.

Orangecoke @ Nov 4th 2007 10:24AM

So ignore the post if it doesn't interest you? There are tons of posts here I don't find interesting. I don't read those. And I dont post flame comments about them either. I actually don't mind the WoW roundups as I quickly give a scan to see if I want to dig into any of the topics.

RogueJedi86 @ Nov 4th 2007 11:38AM

Hey Liz, ya misspelled Illidan in your mentioning of The7 killing him. :P

I wonder if this should be put on Massively instead? *knows the second he checks Massively again, it's already going to be there*

Sowder @ Nov 4th 2007 1:08PM

Wow. Let your hate FLOW! You don't see comments like this when they say something about X360, Wii and PS3.

This IS the site that takes from all of their others such as X360fb, PS3fb and Wiifb.

Hey everyone. STFU!

I play WoW and Joystiq is my homepage.

It lets me know whats going on in games that I like. Not just the consoles.
