New Articles at CNCNZ

CNCNZ has two new articles. One, titled "Quality Control", is written by Mr Lee. A snip is below:
Since writing my ‘The Real Red Alert' article and noticing has appeared from the clear sky, a thunderbolt in the dark. People don't like quality anymore. We all purchased Generals and Zero Hour and then we preached about how low quality it was, the turned our eyes back to Red Alert 2 and called it the last great funeral pyre of Command and Conquer. I now say to each of you – you're hypocrites.
Well, the article has a couple good points -- he makes a good one on the lack of articles being written in the community nowadays -- but also some awful ones: portraying himself and the article writers at CNCNZ as attemping to save the community seems a bit much, a point likely undercut due to the plethora of grammatical and spelling errors throughout the piece. However, to each his own; I'm all for people saying what they have to say.

The Hypontist, a forum member at CNCNZ, apparently felt the need to contribute to the community (and, in so doing, helping Mr Lee by adding more articles), and so he wrote and submitted his own article to CNCNZ: 'C&C - The End of a Generation'. In it, he portrays the doom coming with a nostalgic tone (if with sparse evidence):
When a new game comes out, if one ever does, it will probably be the end. Sadly, it even brings tears to my eyes to admit that, but we all know it will happen. C&C has had all ideas exhausted, and we will all see an end… It will be something that happens overnight, but the end will come… Soon… And then, when it does, this will all be forgotten…
