Most of that stuff is kind of old news by now...

Yeah most of it is old, I kinda liked the article though, a breather from all the normal writing of Toms.

Somehow I get the feeling that it's supposed to be a recap article of sorts..

Reply to ShaunO

If Rob's planning to do this every monday the news should be at least relevant in last week's timeframe.

Is Rob a real poster as his post count is 0

I seen another forum where they used bots to posts interesting links relating to the section the bot was in.

Mostly the bots posted links that no one was interested in.

If there is something wrong with his Forum profile I don't know, I PM'd him about his 0 post count but from his reaction (none) I can only gather that he doesn't care about that.

He is a real person though, although there is the off chance possibility that THG has mastered the art of getting robots to write articles for them.

This could be also be an explanation for this other anomaly, refered to as Aaron, although his post count acts as it should.

:roll:

Is Rob spawning posts in other sections with links to articles etc or is it just games??

I don't know. There's a search option if you're really desperate to find out.

See now, why did you have to go and say that? We'll have to burn your house down now...

As for Rob's amazing zero count, err, dunno, I don't think it adds to my post count when a discuss this article is created in my name - and yes, they are created automatically. Policy is to do it on all feature articles now, I believe. TG Daily gets a choice, obviously.

Just games methinks, he's the TwitchGuru editor.

And damn, my morning news roundup doesn't get a forum post. And it happens every day. :cry:

Sorry guys, I just flew back from L.A./Vegas/San Jose/GDC, and boy are my arms tired...

I am not a robot, though I am emotionally hollow.

If you guys aren't finding the Monday Morning Rundowns, which in fact are designed to be a recap of the previous week's news and events, in any way shape or form entertaining or interesting, let me know. You can PM me or hit me at rwright@tgpublishing.net. Be brutal, be kind, be constructive, be destructive -- just don't be shy.
