Ok, I'll admit it: the title of this post should actually be "B&W Bug Free(?)" but I didn't think that was nearly as relevant as the age-old adage above, which I've never been able to figure out the meaning of.
As I see it, there are two possible denotations: 1) the literal interpretation, i.e., "all news is bad" (which, if true, means this site is a horrible influence on the community-- but then, that's already been established)and 2) the figurative interpretation, i.e., "it is good when there is no news" (which, if true, means this particular stage of B&W's development is supremely Good, as it indicates that everyone is probably too busy polishing/finishing the game to generate anything newsworthy).
Whichever meaning you ascribe too, here's something that can only be understood one way: I have it on very good authority (in fact, from a Lionhead Employee) that, well, he said it best:
"(...amazingly it looks like i've got a little spare time now as i've just run out of bugs to fix....)"
And that's good news no matter how you look at it.
