Everyone get the word out, internet journalism/blogging doesn't work anymore. Stop your twitter and facebook updates because you cannot be trusted to maintain objectivity and journalistic excellence when you tell your friends how your newborn baby likes doctor who.

I long for the halcyon days of unbiased gaming journalism as found in Nintendo Power, Xbox Magazine, and IGN sponsored by McGriddles.

it's a CYOA except the smart choices are crossed out and you can't pick them so your character kinda just sits home and does nothing

i personally feel that it does not accurately portray the overbearing, unending sense of despair and dissatisfaction of actual medically diagnosed depression but i mean at least it's raising awereness

The thing that really burns me is how much faith and trust I had previously placed in Kotaku. I looked to them for the latest developments in Akihabara and the truth of why American culture is lacking compared to the intellectually superior glorious Nippon. Now that bond of trust has been broken, and I'm afraid I will never be able to read another "WHY I WAS ATTRACTED TO A GYM TRAINER IN POKEMON BLACK" article again.

You do not know gamers. People are getting mad at her cause she is a woman, didn't make a "real game" and now because she threaten ~journalistic integrity~

Bear in mind, the dude she hosed wrote 5 (five (!)) lines about her game apparently.
