I didn't find it that funny. Maybe it's because I'm English (and this reason is because of a different style of humour, not because of the stereotypical jibe), or maybe because I dislike Fragmaster, although he was right, because he abused his journalistic powers.

The only bad thing about independant networks is no one really makes a salary, so theres less incentive to keep it going. Fragmaster gets paid for this crap, so you can be sure hes going to keep updating whether he likes it or not.
Found out last night, spent the next hour in tears. But, like the last boyfriend, I'm over it. <!--emo&::marine::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/marine.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='marine.gif'><!--endemo--> Yeah, I'm a trooper alright...
That said, I really don't know what to think anymore. Half of me wants to slap Valve for denying the release date at the LAST MINUTE, especially after giving us that oh-so-buggy Steam client to deal with. Meanwhile, half of me wants to give them a smooch for being willing to take the fire so that they can release a fully realized HL2 instead of a rushjob cranked out just so they could meet deadline.
At least this gives me more time to scrounge up money for a better video card. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

Am I the only one who just shrugged their shoulders at the concept of a game not being out on time, and then laughed when all the teeny boppers threw up their arms in indignity and wept that their precious game wasn't going to be out the very second they had originally planned? :\
