I'm getting really tired of reading about this magazine in every other post of yours, Shadowman. I think I've been patient enough with you, but the time has now come to get real about things...
First, lets start out with your age. I have no idea how old you are, but I'm guessing you're very young for a number of reasons. Your spelling, grammar, AND punctuation are horrible - this is excusable though, if you're from another country, but your English doesn't look like the English of someone who has learned to speak and write the language - more like that of someone who hasn't paid attention in English class. Also your almost obsessive enthusiasm resembles that of a child, or at least someone with special needs / learning difficulties.
Next, lets look at your overall attitude and how you come across in your posts. The first thing I notice when I read your mediocre drivel, is a heavily laboured attempt at copying the anthropomorphic/stylized/roleplayesque writing style that litters the Oddworld Inhabitants website. In other words, your posts read like a poorly spelled website update or half drunken ask alf article. The stupidity of your lacklustre attempt at boosting yourself up the ranks with official OWF sounding babble, is punctuated by frequent spelling and grammar mistakes.
Now, let us take a look at the predictably awful work with which you spam your unfortunate neighbours. Both the magazine title art and (notepad!) text display an obvious lack of magazine creation know-how. If I was a publisher, I'd recycle the paper on which your totally unentertaining work came to me on.
At this point you (the reader) may say that I am being unreasonably harsh, but I beg of you to consider the following; since the day he arrived, The Shadowman has been professing, no, bragging on a daily basis, in nearly every single post, about his "unofficial magazine", as if it is the most fantastic magazine since PCGAMER. He has done so in a highly irritating manner, a manner which reeks of stupidity and ignorance. The work which he has turned up in this thread, does NOT come within even angstrom of resembling the output of a team of "expert workers" as he has put it himself. One notebook file, and one talentless MSpaint magazine title does not the spoils of a team of magazine editors and graphic artists make.
Lets face it, there is no team - it's just him, a cheap computer, a cheap printer, and a retarded little "spam the neighbourhood" unofficial magazine project. He sucks at posting and he sucks at making magazines, yet we the people of OWF have been spending months putting up with his crap. All for what? Some failed stab at creating a magazine?
I could do better than that without even trying. If I actually put effort into it, and researched the art of magazine creation, then I could produce something which stands so far away from the "UOM" in terms of quality, that it's practically on a different continent.
You guys put up with me, and I think that is honourable, since I'm a total asshole. But at least I return the favour occasionally by uploading art that is worth looking at, and contributing posts that are intelligible and generally worth reading - I can take part in an intelligent debate, and sometimes come out with some jokes that the odd person might appreciate. But I have never, not even ONCE, seen The Shadowman justify your patience.
That is all.
