Eh, I better not comment on the two individuals mentioned (especially one of them as his penchant for drama queening and sensationalism is absolutely disgusting), but while the examples aren't exactly the most fitting i could think of, I do think many are honestly hoping for a good story to tell with ARR.

I know I am. Doesn't mean I won't be professional when the review copy will be under my paws, but I'm entitled to my personal hopes
