So how do people stand on the acceptability of words like 'theater' where pronunciation hasn't changed, but letter order has?

HTML coding has, unfortunately, forced 'center' into my head as the correct spelling.

I think griping about another country's spelling standards while accusing them of being inward looking is pretty ironic.

My brain does awesome linguistic programming stuff on computer languages, back when I hand-edited HTML I didn't need to pause for writing things like <color=red>Colour is spelled colour!</color>. Still don't, it turns out, woo!

Edit: Although I have just used up a non-existent tag, I noticed too late. Brilliant. Point made regardless!

I see his forums are now completely closed. I presume everyone else already knew that but it's the first time I've noticed.

I think he just wanted to find a way to get paid for his writing, albeit in a rather bizarre manner on that occasion which was never really going to fly.

As the Wings Over Scotland site has comprehensively proved, there's definitely a market for his passion and enthusiasm as conveyed via the written word.

In fact, he's getting paid sums of money that a lot of writers would be very thankful for, I'd think.

As I am without doubt the default 'Rev Stu' left on this forum, I understand his postings a lot better.

TBH, I agreed with a hell of a lot more with what he said than disagreed with it even back in the 2006-8 days. Ok, I disagreed with sugar in fizzy drinks, but..... anyway... his blood sugar levels are his own affair.

I guess most of you worked that out some time ago. It doesn't make you right though. It's just how life has dealt your cards and life has a way of pulling the rug from under your feet and changing your perspective.

Whatever you say, he managed to ask a question on Question Time, if I ever manage to do that, I hope its not the crappy "last 5 minute one" in which the panel just get a 1 sentence reply in before the credits. That was 5 minutes, but he already had more than another 10 mins of his allocated fame that we all can expect, writing for computer game magazines back in the day.

I'll always be reasonable to a reasonable person and unreasonable to an unreasonable one. Just the way I am.

I for one miss his diatribes against crap games. I always remember one post he did in UGVM (I think) about Vanishing Point where he kicked the fuck out of it the way only Stu can.

To be honest, some of the funniest gaming reviews ever were those of crap games.

I think Action Biker (something to do with Skips crisps) was one of the lowest scores ever back in the 80's - in either Crash or Sinclair User.

Somewhere in the loft I've even got that wind-up toy you received (presumably for crisp packet tokens) I guess its never going to be worth a vast fortune on Ebay! :D

In 2006, Campbell wrote this:

http://worldofstuart.excellentcontent.com/tr7/tomb.htm

Quote:
Later, Lara finds herself standing on the roof of a flatbed truck which is thundering along a desert canyon in pursuit of her friend Anaya's jeep. Lara leaps off the cabin roof and, in a Matrix-esque bullet-time cut-scene, somersaults and spins through the air ahead of the lorry, shooting its driver through the windscreen and landing neatly in the passenger seat of the jeep. Never mind the fact that the instant her feet left the roof, what would actually happen would be that gravity and physics would catapult her "backwards" like a Wile E Coyote contraption gone wrong, at an effective reverse speed of 50 mph (depending on whatever speed the lorry was doing, given that unlike Lara it's still having forward-propulsive force applied to it) and smush her messily all over the canyon floor. Don't try this at home, kids.


Ok, so he has no idea how Newtonian physics works. I mean that's right up there with Craster and hand grenades or Mr Chris and whatever that stupid physics thkng he said was. God knows how Campbell catches things thrown at him, but no big deal, right?

He was still defending this in 2011!

http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2011/07 ... ent-743108

Quote:
“Can a physicist come and explain this, please? As far as I can tell Stuart has this dead wrong. She’s travelling at the speed of the truck, and she doesn’t magically lose that speed when she loses contact with the truck. She’ll slow down because of air resistance, but surely that’s not enough to bring about the situation Stuart describes.”

Oh boy. What Lara does in the game is actually magically accelerate when she jumps, so that she’s going FASTER than the truck and is therefore able to smash through the windscreen and land in the cabin.

If you think air resistance is trivial, climb out of the sunroof next time your friend’s driving his car down the motoway and try to stand on the top. If you can manage that, then jump forwards at a 45-degree angle, and see if (a) you overtake the car and crash into the windscreen, or (b) the car shoots off into the distance – since it has the same forward momentum you do PLUS a continuing forwards force of 50mph or whatever being exerted by the engine – and you get smeared all over the tarmac some way behind it.

(If you’d rather not die, just wind down the window next time you’re moving at speed and stick your hand out, flat against the air.)

At very low levels of schooling, children studying physics in this country are taught to regard air resistance as zero because it simplifies the understanding of some principles. In fact air resistance is a very long way from being zero, as any pilot will tell you.

“The Rev is wrong – you’d maintain your forward momentum and indeed could slightly increase it by leaping.”

Sigh. You: momentum plus leaping power. Truck: momentum plus engine power. If you can jump forwards at more than 50mph, you may want to get yourself down to the British Olympic Association pronto. And obviously, jump there rather than taking the car, it’ll be faster.


His rambling, increasingly angry replies carry on in that comment thread for thousands of words.

This is the quintessential Campbell. A man who can cite the evidence of his eyes as proof of something that is incredibly and obviously wrong, and then hold a grudge about it for years later, ignoring the many patient and less patient attempts to educate him, continuing to cling to his views in the face of overwhelming evidence he was wrong all along, and greeting all such responses with biliuous anger. This is not an isolated example, although it is one of the most egrgious. He won't take telling about anything and he cannot distinguish between his opinions and the facts.

And you say he writes about politics now? Fucking shocker.

Quick to anger, slow to understand.

It's not just you. The amount of times I saw him overreact and spit his dummy just because he was wrong and some one called him out on it was remarkable.

The guy can waffle, that's for sure. But from what I could always make out he just seemed like a dole sponging lazy sod to me who spent his days sitting in the park feeding the animals.

He also seemed to have this whole thing going on about how he could insult as many people as he liked because you know? it's only the internet so it doesn't mean anything. Which of course as many of us have found out is utter bull because written down insults are often worse than real life ones because they remain in place.

I know this is a "Say nice things" thread but honestly I can't think of one fucking nice thing to say about the guy. He should host a chat show or something like Katie Hopkins, as he seems to be a lot like her in many ways.

No what marks him out as a bastard is his natural ability to insult people so personally and so spitefully that it never fucking leaves them. To the point where every time you hear his name you think murder.

There are plenty of great things About Stuart Campbell. He can turn a great phrase, and his composition of language can be compelling. Where many people, myself included, feel a bit of resistance, I think, is when this is motivated only by anger and what is written as hatred (though I think this is often stylistic rather than actual hatred, as some of the things taken issue with are so petty that if you had that much anger in the world you would probably make yourself ill). On the flipside, if he writes about things he loves he can be equally wonderful with his words, but perhaps not as funny, because people find others being worked up about things amusing. I don't understand why, but I think it is the very reason that internet trolls exist. Thousands if not millions of people worldwide like to find a bear and poke it with a big stick of Internet.

And I am sure there are many times where he has backed don and admitted being wrong, but yes, the times he has stuck by something in the face of an entire crowd of consensus as to the opposite are the times people remember, because they often get spiked with vitriol and an amazing (to many) strength of feeling.

Anyway, I think with his most recent project he has been able to find a subject matter that he can really find things to feel angry about, and so with that writing many people can see him at what they may think he does best. I have no interest in the writing in that arena (it's not that I don't care for the subject matter, but I prefer a calmer, more reasoned and balanced feed of news and opinion I suppose).

You know... Several times a week now I start writing something and can't even remember why I started. I usually delete the intervening rambling, but not today! Have my brain trumpets!!!!

I don't mind him but that's because I was a member of his forum and managed to get about £600 worth of stuff off his gambling scam.

I was lucky in that I never had to do that. They all paid me exactly what they said they would and I only had to chase one. I thought I'd have problems with that but they apologized and then paid it.

:this:

But I didn't even have that hassle. The points went swimmingly

The one problem I did has was when I fucked up a game, (I think I pressed "bet everything") and lost, asked about it, and they cancelled the bet and gave me the money back!

Wasn't expecting that.

I got an XBOX 360 and a few other things out of it. And was loads of money up at the end too

:DD that gave me a good old chuckle.

In the spirit of the thread I'll say the nicest thing I can say about him. He's a twat. A small-minded bitter twat now funded by other small-minded bitter twats. He closed his old forums because it no longer served him. No nostalgia, no posterity, just no longer any chumps to claw £2 a month off for zero output. Since SNP cunts love a good demagogue and will throw money at him all day long he's set up, and fuck anyone who used to support him.

</nice>

Whilst I disagree with him entirely about Scottish secession, I can't help but be impressed that he's been able to make a career out of this. Wonder if he'll ever run for office?

Whilst I disagree with him entirely about Scottish secession, I can't help but be impressed that he's been able to make a career out of this. Wonder if he'll ever run for office?

Oh god, I'd love it.

But he wouldn't have the gumption.

Scottish Nationalism is unique in its fervour and tribal small-mindedness. Disenchanted chip-on-shoulder oiks that rail against anything resembling 'the system' and the English, particularly Westminster. Appealing to that mentality can't be difficult, you just have to represent that line of thinking while consistently holding up examples of how those English bastards are still English bastards and the views will come pouring in. insisting it's just all about the politics and nothing to do with anglophobia is a thin veneer of bullshit that fools very few people.

The real winner was in saying 'Hey look, I clearly do this on a daily basis anyway but unless you give me money I'll have to stop' - and that wasn't exactly a flare of genius. It was the same old money-grubbing Stu doing the old 'it now needs to be £2 a month' gambit, but this time against an audience primed and stupid enough to fall for it hook, line and sinker. He's practically a demi-god to them now which says all you need to know about the whole Nationalist movement.

Ahhh yes, holding a grudge for many years - that's what marks him out as the bastard here.

I don't need to hold a grudge for years to think he's a knob, because he's a knob today, in real time. The anecdote I chose as an illustrative example is admittedly old but it's such an impressive one I think it's worth mentioning. Also holding a grudge implies I am angry about him. I'm not, I just think he's a knob.

I don't hold grudges because nobody lives rent free in my head.

The cRPG addict has been doing some catchup with contemporary reviews of the games he writes on his blog. He has taken issue with some of Stu's review for Amiga power, but since he's American he's clueless of who he is.

I don't know how Stu hasn't materialized yet in the comments section insulting everyone.

Here's an example (specially in the comments):
