Has anyone just realized....

what did he win exactly? He was right and we were wrong. It wasn't some sort of game and there is no reason at all to be angry that he was right.
 
Like I said somewhere else....I dont care if he was right, he's still a jerk. I was mainly dreding an oficial delay anouncement because I knew he would get all high and mighty about it. Just you wait. Im sure he's gonna make an "editorial" about how right he was about everything. If he'd done a delay editorial like gamespot or whatever it was did, we wouldnt have a problem with him being right.
 
wait so i can legally punch him in the face now right?
 
Legally?................................................................................................................................Yes
 
I thought he tended to act like a bit of an ass. How did he win?
(Supposing that the release date thing MATTERED he had at least a 50/50 chance)
 
The hints were there.. I just didn't acknowledge them
 
Well he did win, lets just hope he'll be a gracious "winner" like we would
 
Wow, fragmaster isn't even a bad guy.

I have no clue why so much hate is put towards him.
 
Nor do I, but I guess because he can be a tad bit cocky and come off a bit ass-holish... but we all have our flaws
 
Well the thing is first he jumped on the rumor and then tried to change his story ...

It was kind of annoying

Who cares? He's not the only one who started to doubt VALVe's statements and whose controversial opinion was proven to be true in the end.

He is the source of all Half-Life 2 information for many people. So obviously passing off opinions as proof is not something he should be doing.
 
As long as Fragmaster doesn't decide to shove it in anyones faces ever then I am all right with him. He pissed me off when he kept on saying he was right even though all the evidence he gave did not even come close to proving his belief. If he simply made 1 simple statement like this then I suspect that he wouldn't have made so many people mad at him:

"In my opinion Half Life 2 will not make the September 30th release date. I think it will be delayed."

If he simply made one statement like that and did not post up his article and start using the news ticker to spread his message then he would have been much better off.

True but hes a reporter. A good reporter isn't supposed to give their opinion on anything, they are supposed to be completely unbiased.
 
So he's not a good reporter. Point taken, but I think we all knew this.

That's the problem of the kids who regard the opinion of an editor for a fan-site as the source of all Half-Life 2 information. What he's doing is standard behaviour in many established printed papers. At a certain age you should have learned to differentiate between the source you're considering, either through experience or through education.

I suppose, but it still doesn't mean I will stop disliking him.

Oh well its over now, and thats what counts.

OK, so now the Half-Life 2 delay has finally been officially confirmed by Valve. They're, "currently targeting a holiday release," which is the same thing Vivendi told us back in July.

Like I've said (endlessly), I don't care for how Valve handled this situation. They should have confirmed the delay earlier, not one week away from HL2's supposed release. I think telling the European press at ECTS (less than a month ago) that the, "release date is unchanged," was irresponsible. Good marketing? Maybe. A nice way to treat your fans? No.

That being said, dwelling on the delay won't do anyone any good. Bitching and moaning about it won't accomplish a damn thing. The bottom line is that Half-Life 2 is going to ship eventually, and it's almost certainly going to be worth the wait. In the meantime, there are still plenty of other games and HL mods to play.

Come on guys. He's not rubbing it in anybody's face. Judging by that last write-up he seems to be taking it rather well. However, I don't read his message boards so maybe behind the scenes he acts like an ass.
 
See? being gracious...... that in a way is rubbing it in our faces... but he's rubbing it in our faces (which is unavoidable) politely.

Ya he is being good about it now. He may still rub it in sometime in the future though. Or he may have already done that on the forums. I don't read the PHL forums so I wouldn't know.
 
Don't you all think we're being somewhat paranoid?

Live and let live, let him say and think what he wants.

I would ignore his posts. Unfortunatly he is the biggest and most well known news poster in the HL community, I ignore City-17 ever since they compiled that FAQ of theirs and did not give any credit to those who actually found out the information by e-mailing Gabe and then posting in the Valve info thread. Ignoring a small fan site is easy, ignoring PHL is not so easy.

Whether I like it or not PHL still is the best site to go for HL2 news. As long as that stays the same I will remain a visitor.

EDIT: Thats my last post for the night since I have a big test tommorow and I need sleep. Good night everyone.

I have to disagree, I beleive halflife2.net is the best source for news as it only posts what we know is 100% correct
