Metal Reviews

Huh. Act like children, get treated like children.

Wait, does the fact that I'm a reviewer mean I can chastise the rest of you lot?

Not without massive amounts of unfair persecution.

You will speak when spoken to.

Oh and you're gonna love some of my upcoming reviews... Not this week, but keep your eyes open

MR is now basically like one of those inner-city schools with metal detectors at the entrances that Americans like to make films about. If me and Adam are the world-worn senior teachers, sitting in our offices drinking lots of coffee and whiskey, content to let the little bastards act like apes for the most part and only stepping in when shit gets real, then Fridge is the substitute who makes the mistake of looking the wrong kid in the eye and gets stabbed with a sharpened ruler whilst the rest of them cavort like a performance of Lord Of The Flies by spastics.

In short, Fridge, I wouldn't advise it.

Heh heh, remember this analogy of yours when you get to season 4 of The Wire.

Point taken.

Pfft, without us "children", where would the site be?

To hell with that noise, if the almighty reviewers can't take a few suggestions without making snide remarks, then perhaps they're the children.

Maybe us children should boycott the reviews and see where that leads, eh? I mean being talked down to is one thing, being insulted is quite another.
Whats that old Zen riddle?
Ah, yes: "If a tree falls in the forest and nobody is there to hear it, does it make a sound"?

"If a man speaks his mind in a forest and no women are around, is he still wrong?"

You do know that Metalhead_Bastard isn't part of the reviewing team? So it wasn't a team member insulting you. Besides, if people ignored the reviews then, wow, it would change exactly nothing!

I was obviously agreeing with MB in his assessment.

In before "children" replaces "bitch" as MR's meme of choice.

Like I said, act like children, y'all will get treated like children. We're not that bad, really; actually we're pretty damn kind to you ungrateful brats.

Edit: whoops.

Oh, give me a break, will ya? I took the fine suggestion made in this thread about the classics needing an overhaul, and made the change. Did you see me bitching or making snide remarks anywhere? Zad's just in a foul mood cause its a Monday. We've all been there, no need to get upset about it.

And please spare me the tired old "without us posters, this site would cease to exist" remark. The only person who can literally say that is Chris, being that he pays the hosting fees and all. I'm sick of people bitching about us as if we're some tyrannical entity. We welcome suggestions (read: not bitching) and do our best to implement them, as in the request thread, or the suggestion in this thread.

I bet you, Adam, that we won't get a single serious expression of thanks from any of the ingrates. We could change all the reviews to lolcat pictures and it'd take them a few days to notice anything.

Was I talking to you?
No.

I love that people took this



seriously.

Incidentally, by "I love" I mean "I find it amusing" and by "people" I meant Metalhead and COTB.

Sure seemed like you were talking to all of us with the "almighty reviewers" crack. It would be nice if you would lighten up and realize that Zad's got the red ass today, as I'm sure you've had many a Monday. Just let it go, the suggestion here was implemented, so there's no reason to complain.

Zad having a red ass = sarcastic asides about childlike behaviour, people. You should see me in a rage, I actually scowl at people.

Haha, red ass /= rage in the context I know it. It just means you're generally irritable for whatever reason, in this case a sober and boring Monday.
