Does it ever feel like GS editors get their ideas straight from SW?

Like the Ps3 super slim thread, or the Wii U = 360 one. I swear we just saw those in SW a couple of days ago. Now they are in todays gaming news. This has happened in the past but I'm to lazy to look up threads and old news. Anyone else feel the same way?

Actually, I think there are GS editors who register new accounts, just to start baiting troll threads....just to keep people around posting and clicking and posting.

they know what makes systemwars members tick.

Thats one of the main reasons why I post here. News gets here faster than GS because they have to prepare a professional article whereas any troll on SW and copy/paste and claim ownage

sarcasm? Because sometimes I serriously think so lol. Just by listening to a troll thread about a game you can get a prtty good Idea of the score a game actually deserved by the amount of damage control or fanboys claiming ownage. There are a few people here who actually make valid points too.

I get my ideas from hallucinations caused by eating the wrong type of berries during my weekly excursions into the woods.

Not that I'm an editor, but I definitely get all of my ideas from the hushed whispering of the green fairy. Shaun tells me I just huddle in the corner talking to myself, but I know better than to trust him.

LOL so do you guys get stuff off of SW? Like when the 3DS XL was announced the pictures in the article the next day were the very ones from charizards nintendo direct thread. There have been other intances, but I swear that sometimes GS thinks its a slow news day and pulls something from SW that seemed at least reasonable.

over a period of several years 2k is normal. and i think on the old comment system. commenting on articles and stuff added to your post count, and they could've been more actively replying to their work rather than dicking around on SW and OT, etc. Who knows? I don't. Just a guess.

Yeah of course they lurk here. Remember that one year during April fools where they put a sheep/lemming/cow/hermit pictures on the GameCube/Xbox/ps2/Pc page?

Seems like the TC is not far off then. As soon as a thread is made about you guys a bunch of you start posting. So clearly you read SW and I think many of you have alt accounts.

We'll ask Solid for further investigation of this.
