Oh the cleverness! The humanity! The truth hurts.

Are you THE General Hawk? If so do you want to moderate our board, then you'll just need HISSTank and you'll have moderated them all!

Anyways, I don't know if GEN HAWK BING*BIG HEAD* is all that clever, it's sure funnier than some guy posting "OH, THAT TATERZ IS A SHILL" though.

And all those things execpt "I WANT YOUR SKULLS" and "FREE SPACE" are your talking points, well your hatred of Zarana is really actually just something I've noticed.

I'll break down 3 or 4 squares for you:

"KIDS LIKE G.I. JOE" (C: I R:3) Do they really? How come the 25th is the only succesful line since 1998? I don't think 11 year olds are nostalgic

*Problematic Picture* (C:N R:5) I hate too say this but your photography needs a lot of work. I've noticed for a "Dio God" you don't post on joedios, but really the bar is set very high there. I counted in the epilogue of your latest dio, in the 26 pictures 8 are either out of focus or washed away in the Flash. Your reviews generally have a higher ratio of bad too good pictures.

"Opinions paraded as CONTRARIAN but not really" (C:G R:5) in your review of 25th Mutt you claimed "It might be a surprise but I don't like Mutt" It's not like Mutt is some major fan favorite, he's got fans but really he's "just there"

"Contradictory Statements" (C:G R:2) You'll say something and 2 goddamn paragraphs later you're using what you just said as an argument for the opposite of what you said, it makes it hard too take seriously.

*HIGH RANKING* (C:B R:2) you rate everything way too high. Blowtorch is not a 4 and a half star figure. Plus you change the way you determine the rankings way too often.

Please reply!

Err...no desire for any kind of "debate". I just actually thought it was clever. *shrug*

DO YOU PREFER BLONDE GENERAL HAWK OR 'JUST FOR MEN' GENERAL HAWK, GENERAL HAWK?

Johnny Turk said...

Dear General Hawk if you still read here: I feel bad now, I took your first post as sarcasm, so I had too defend my positon. I don't have a real problem with you (some might) I don't agree with your reviews all the time but I do respect that you actually do them (Who the hell else reviewed 2000 wave 1, nobody) and your dio stories don't do much for me (None do really, but I appreciate that your willing to do them)

As a reviewer/dio guy, you don't do a lot for me, partially due too difference of opinion and format. As a human guy, I think your an alright guy because you seem to have a sense of humor regarding this type of thing, if I did a Thomas Wheeler post BINGO, and he found it I think he'd call the police. Plus you actually seem too enjoy this stuff, I can't speak for everyone in anyways related too this Russian owned hate speech blog, just myself

Really your reviews weren't gonna be my first BINGO, I just found that yours have the most universal appeal, if I did a Mike T. one it probably wouldn't go down as well and I couldn't do Joecustoms.com thread as not everyone reads that place. You've got a wide audience.

98oldsmobile.gov has said negatory things about you in the past and I feel they were things we mean but not nearly as much as the posts actually say, if you stick around here, you'll probably become cooler (Well, Hisstank and Joecanuck'll probably dislike you, but I don't trust Canadians or Terrorists)

Anyways, I'm surprised you even know of this site's existence, if you work on your macro and lighting you'll take better pictures, thanks for having a sense of humor, your dios atleast don't have any preaching, change up your reviews a bit (or try and go for a bingo each time either'll amuse me) and if anyone who reads this thinks I'm a jerk, please call me a MOTHERFUCKER on the board.

Motherfucker

Justin Bell said...

In all seriousness, I've been writing reviews for almost 9 years...of course it gets repetitive. I keep on trying to quit, but the bastards PULL ME BACK IN.

The minute I saw that bingo card, the next review started forming in my mind...I bet I could get Doc Miller Bingo in like half a paragraph.

Honestly JTurk, you have good points on both sides o' the deal. Gotta respect General Justin for actually doing something and you can't debate his enthusiasm. I'm not a "fan" of his reviews either (actually, I'm more put off by his spamming and seemingly omnipotent "mod" status), but there are so many lame "joefans" who're much more deserving of ridicule. Unlike 97% of joetards, at least GH isn't constantly whining about stupid shit and attacking Hasbro for stuff they haven't even done yet.

...motherfucker.

Justin Bell said...

I appreciate the comments, man, and if you'll notice over the past few months there have been a LOT less of those cross-board spamming posts, and actually, I'm only a moderator one two forums right now. :D

The reason I probably seem omnipotent is just because I'm guilty of being at a computer pretty much all day, and I enjoy talking about toys, so I do. A lot. Maybe too much, I dunno.

But anyway, comments about the spamming have been heard loud and clear (not just from here) and I've pulled back on a lot of that.

In my own defense, over the years, I've actually been accused of favoritism because I posted updates at some boards and not others, which is why the cross-board shenanigans started in the first place. I get the same sponsor money regardless of website hits, so I don't give a rats ass about web traffic. It comes from getting frustrated by some of the ignorant fandom and wanting to "educate" (even though that's not necessarily my responsibility) and from being questioned by folks on certain forums about why XXX.com was getting updates about my site and YYY.com wasn't.

Dr. Henry E. Miller said...

Senior Bell, while I said not so nice things about you and your website in the past I now understand where you are coming from on some things, and some of those things I came out with we're unfair. We obviously don't agree on some G.I Joe things but toys are silly anyway! You seem like a decent enough cat to come here and talk to us miscreants while most other webmasters deny our existence.

Justin Bell said...

Thanks. I was kinda wondering what I had done to piss you off. Last I knew we were at least sorta online buddies. I loved ya back in the Pabst Blue Ribbon Jetpack days.

I wouldn't expect everyone to agree with me...I am a shameless Hasbro shill after all.

And yes, I do hate Zarana.

MOTHERFUCKER.

Just cuz I gave you the clap?

What a wuss.

Stuart said...

Having met Hawk in person I will say he's a GREAT guy.

I read his reviews as much as anyone else's, which is to say, none, so I'm not going to say too much about that.

dv said...

i have read general hawk's site ever since i was 11 (last year) and yeah


i spoke to dr. miller earlier today and he told me mr. hawk had posted and i was like oh god damn a celebrity

but i mean the smoosh the stairs and brocklee blotches of the world would not be groundbreaking and critically important without the generals joes and leonardo t. battlelines, right??
