Be Excellent To Each Other

Yeah, yeah, schizism and so on. Of course it turned out he wasn't our internet friend, he was a writer.

And a bloody good writer at that. Thats why I thought we should have a thread with a heads up about Stuart Campbells New Blog.

The WoSlog.

Obviously it is sometimes filled with wrong opinions, but a blog so opinionated is great stuff anyways.

His top three games of 2007 for example are essential reading.

I feel privileged that he's allowing us to read all this content for free.

Snarky, but it's true that I'm over the moon that I've got something to read by Stu that I can read, having cancelled my sub out of principle and that.

It's not snarky. It's almost as if Mr Campbell has realised how the Inderneds work. To be honest, I've never really enjoyed Stu's work. I always preferred JNash and Cam.

Yeah its good that this is there for us non subscribing types, its also good that its actually pretty good too.

Well a blog lets him set the agenda and then he can argue with people in the comments section. Much better than those nasty forums where the users do have a habit of wanting to talk about stuff you might not be interested in.

Still, nice to see he's advanced as far as 2005. Give it another five years and he'll be on Twitter.,,,,,,

I was calling myself snarky not you!

I've always liked Stu's work despite everything that went on.

I suppose I owe him one for introducing me to this place!

Edit... He is already on Twitter.

Also, the hilarious hypocrisy of him calling Nintendo liars about what he read with his own two eyes made me pop a spleen.

Oh yes, I read this and found it somewhat.. well... interesting.

I'm confused by this.

Fuck me, I hope Bruce follows him. And Mintor. And Team 17.

It's nice to see some more regular writing from him. His writings on the 'classic' pre-Schism WoS were kind of sporadic, and before then it was in monthly magazines or in the even older days Panel 4 on Digitiser every so often.

Yeah, nice to see some excellent writings once more.

I like it.

I have to admit, I'm scratching my head too. But, y'know, whatev.

Thank you for allowing me to read that.

I've always liked Stu's writing but this story just seemed wrong. It did come across that he just hadn't read what was happening. Typically, he decided it wasn't his fault.. I found that interesting.

Ah, I see. So apparently you've both decided that I was just lying, and that I'm some sort of fucking idiot who can't tell the difference between the numbers "0" and "500" when he's buying something. Righto.

Still slightly puzzled as to how that amounts to "hypocrisy", hilarious or otherwise - if that's your absurdly idiotic view of what happened then you'd be after a word more akin to "stupidity" or some such - but hey, it's the modern age and we can just use words to mean whatever the heck we like, yeah?

Of course, people talking absolute shite about me on here isn't exactly a novelty from what little I've seen, but I was mildly curious to work out what this one was about. Bye!

I've said it all along that I respect his writing and after reading his blog, still do.. And I shall carry on reading.

But I don't like people swearing at me.

Then maybe - free tip! - don't post ignorant, offensive fucking bullshit about them in public. You'll find that stops most of it.

Well looky here. The man himself.

Could it be... No. IMPOSSIBLE!

He has the same command of Anglo Saxon vulgarity as the man himself. I think it's him.

If this turns out to be DavPaz I shall be most disappointed.

*gets his popcorn*

Not at all Stu, I do believe you about your troubles with Nintendo and it's entertainingly written. However I feel it's a little out of place after the "troubles" of two years ago and the revisionist attitude you've taken about certain events/threads/posts back then. That's all.

Has "Guy Incognito" told you about this or something?

I find the second coming more amusing if you play this in the background.

Coincidence that Stu turns up the day a thread is created about his blog.

What I can't work out is if it really is the second coming, how come he had time to upload an avatar?


I AM FURIOUSLY ANGRY!

But wait, I couldn't possibly post without an avatar....

Hmm.... let me find an avatar, upload it, and THEN BE FURIOUSLY ANGRY.



I declare this is another sock puppet conveniently posted for the amusement of our mods who are all in Manchester. The only other conclusion is that (Linda - Ed) has spent 2 years lurking, waiting for the single day all the mods have fucked off, ready to delurk and revel in the attention he craves. I think it's the the former.

Site visitor logs surely?

I imagine Stu is the type of person who checks his referrals daily.

Of course, when everyone gets back on Monday, nobody will believe us.

You see, they all fuck off to Manchester but we've got our very own show here.

The reason I turned up here was because I saw via google analytics that someone (it was Lave) posted a link to SavyGamer here.

Of course, now he's here we actually have to be excellent to him. CURSE YOU RULES, FOR MAKING US THIS WAY!

Now that's a national anthem...better than the dirge we have.

The original point of this thread is about being excellent to him.

A celebration of being able to read his writing.

I for one welcome our newest member and request he post more.

I am of course, talking about Findus

Holy Jesus, it's Stuart "Cut Price Celebrity Prick" Campbell, the man who banhammered me when I was trying to help him sort out Wordpress hosting. If only I still had mod powers.

What do you think of Bayonetta, Stu?

Is this why we had to cut down the noise? In preparation, like?

To present a united front, I reckon

Indeed so.

If people want to fucking arguing about the two year old tedious bullshit (and I'm including you in this Stu) then fine. But I wouldn't mind keeping this thread about the excellent things written on WoSBlog, so can you all retread the same old ground in a different thread please. Ta.

But yeah, excellent Blog Stu, I like it a lot.

He is right about 'Love & Monsters'.

Good luck with that.

This man can't be Stuart Campbell. He's clearly an optimist.



God, yes. Well, more the latter than the former. But isn't our one a bloody miserable, joyless trudge? It's one of the very few things that makes me pity the royal family - everywhere they bloody go, the same awful tumour of an anthem pressing itself down on their ears as thousands of witless oafs look on and grin, expecting them to be happy as though they've never had such a welcome before.

So anyway, more of stu's writing = a Good Thing. This is indisputable, barring intense cretinity*.



*Yes, yes, it's an -ism, I know. But say both out loud and reconsider, eh?

I'd be very much interested in hearing your views on this matter.

*narrows eyes, cracks knuckles*

Dimrill, you should be ashamed of oneself.

He also had time to move to America, it seems.

Quite frankly, fuck off.
