Site's characteristically slow, and they intentionally spread out the article over three pages for the page views. Screw it, here's the text:

Nice attempt at justifying cheap-ass karma whoring, but unfortunately it didn't work because the site is neither slow nor annoying to read over several pages.

Therefore, you rightfully find yourself modded down. Enjoy...

19) Duke Nukem--A Decade in the Making
Just when everybody forgot the existence of Duke Nukem, 3D Realms announces that it signed Swedish firm Meqon to handle the physics engine for its vaporous sequel, Duke Nukem Forever. While 3D Realms has a reassuring "it's done when it's done" stance for the shooter, the numerous delays either signals a new Half-Life--or the new Daikatana.
Ah, come on! This isn't a low point at all. A game that has survived ten years of development without being officially canned is nothing short of amazing. Duke sets new standards for vapour. A true legend in the making, haha!

I happen to think the N-Gage QD is quite a nifty device [...] Sega just realeased a MMOG for the N-Gage [...] they have shifted more to online advertising than offline ads

Such as paying people to hype their crap on slashdot?

8) Nokia Admits Taco-Shaped Handheld Not Selling

No shit, who would want a handheld shaped like an overweight computer geek who runs a website with a stupid name?
