It's been a crazy couple days, what with the Metroid rumors and new game announcements. In the background of it all lurks the horror of the Stupid Story that Would Not Die. A few days ago, when Daily Radar (I'm not even gonna bother linking it,

read Justin's excellent editorial on the subject for more info

) started whining and moaning about being sued by Nintendo, some began to get concerned about "big bad Nintendo" and its readiness to sue an online-publication. For all DR's gut wrenching cries of woe, it turned out that the lawsuit had very little to do with Daily Radar itself, but a printed "Unofficial" guide released by Imagine full of artwork & screenshots owned by Nintendo -making DR's "noble" (or "cautious" as they claim)termination of Nintendo coverage seem pretty childish & stupid. Yesterday, the lawsuit & DR's Nintendo boycott was the top story on FGN Online. Today, FGN Online ran a story sampling responses on the matter from all over the Internet, including PlanetN2000's own "characteristically unsympathetic" (Hell yeah, Justin!) views.

While we appreciate the mention, I feel this whole thing is getting way more attention than it deserves. FGN pleads IGN64/IGNcube to take a stance since they've been silent thus far but guys, if you're reading, please do the mature thing and keep quiet. It only happened a few days ago but I'm sick of reading about it already and can't believe there are people getting sucked into this blatant sensationalism. It's even worse there are folks debating the topic passionately.

Thank the powers that be for Penny Arcade! Today's strip comes at the right time and says exactly the right thing about the whole thing. It is all any Nintendophile needs to know on the matter. Check out the latest strip, laugh & let us never speak of this stupid topic again.
