Have you been enjoying the week of no trolling? Even though the self-appointed curator of purity, Erwin, seemingly has no grasp of what trolling really is, I must say, it’s been fun watching you all reigning your…enthusiasm…in a little. Well, until All hell broke loose, that is. It wasn’t designed that way, you know. We haven;t written stuff just to get you to explode. Promise.

In Other News: The Last of us is dun dun dundunnnnnnnn!, GT6 could hit PS4 and other TLAs, Lionhead may need some Fable help, Nintendo’s making money from your work made from their work and Blizzard gives desperate birthday boosts.

Here’s the news we didn’t post because we were too busy not trolling you.

    Ja today it looked liked Erwin was playing Whac-A-Mole with the amount of ban-hammering he has been doing. Was fun 😉

          Today it was the franchise you hate that others love

      I needed to upgrade the ban-hammer to a quad barrelled shooter of some kind on that one article!

            I feel better for coming clean now. The anticipation of the ban hammer was worse then the ban hammer in the end. Finally, I can get some sleep tonight.

          It started with first the no trolling of CoD for a week, which Deon JUST missed out of on the final day. This started on Monday, I just had an idea to uplift the comment section, the trolling had started to get out of control. The community caught on nicely and oh what a fun week we have had!

          Oh, and by lying about trolling, OUT you go!

          🙂

          Thank you for playing

            Well, I didn’t actually play the “no trolling” game because I wasn’t aware of it! Next time I might try. See how innocent I am that I only got “kicked” out last night? See see! lol

    Heh. Granted, the Urban Dictionary for the definition of ‘trolling’ paints quite a different picture, its refreshing for me to see the tone change a bit here. If Lagz were home to some of THOSE trolls you get and that are defined by the UD, I would not be here to comment, or read in fact.

    This is a shout out to each one who played along this week, and the ones who’s comments (even the trolling, which is mild to very mild compared to what I’ve seen on other sites O_O) make Lagz my favourite site.

    I salute you kinds sirs and madams, for you make Lagz even MOAR fun than it already is.

    So, I have learned something this past week (its not over yet, so behave!), and it was and still is quite enjoyable to have a community that likes to entertain each other, and thank you for playing.

    I say good day to you 🙂

    After a particularly kak day at work, I find myself with an empty six pack on my desk, and starring at the ION model, and something about Erwin. All I can say is that if the powers-that-be gave me the powers to do so, I would give the Admiral Chief a medal. Sadly, all that I can do is give him an opened packet of smarties.

    @Erwin_Kempff:disqus You are a legend sir, a damn legend. Keep the forge burning, keep the tank factory open, and keep the rail gun filled with bullets.
