i'm legitimately curious, what do most of these game journalists actually do? do they all write editorials? you don't see the guy who writes game reviews or that posts game development blogs, or that actually posts news about games making those kinda articles.

Paladinus posted:What I would also like to mention is that in existing antisemitic society we all live in, many Jews develop internalised antisemitism. So even when you say that there are plenty of Jewish game developers, like Dave Gilbert, it doesn't mean that their depiction of Jews is always good. See, this guy missed a golden opportunity by not making this an Angry Birds clone. Or maybe the idea of firing cartoony versions of Fiddler in the Roof-type characters out of a catapult is something only I find funny.

Sephiroth_IRA posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kHOn1UsWao What's the point of posting a video about a guy criticising her videos before she even released the first episode? His reason for donating money was due to the harassment she received during the campaign. He is butthurt because he realised he's a white knight and gave money to a woman just because she was upset (in the same way you would give a bottle to an upset baby). He didn't back her series because he appreciated her previous work, like any sane person would.

And to add to your question what should we expect from them. Pretty sure I pissed off Gerstmann last week on his stream asking similar questions (why do we have games press?) about stories they seemingly had no interest in pursuing. Giant bomb may consider itself more "entertainment tonight" than "6 o clock news" but they do run actual news stories from time to time. As a reader/listener it becomes frustrating because it creates a situation where I can't tell if I should expect them to investigate a story or not. When called on it they say, well that's not us, we're enthusiast press, not reporters or journalists, which would be fine but that isn't always the case.

Giant Bomb is nerd hype bullshit. They got big because Gerstmann claimed to be against the corruption in the industry but he backpedaled 100% pretty much immediately on ever talking about anything like that.

Him and the other guy just changed their twitter descriptions to "Mod of Polygon.com" and made extremely over the top tweets at people telling them he was going to ban every anime avatar at his site, laughing at people for being 30 years old and still playing videogames, etc. Heh. Called it. CrazyLittle posted:Was that guy really a mod on polygon? Oh hey somebody gave  more to Lowtax in my name.

But then this. And if you rope in the celeb nude pics, imgur/reddit risk just as much heat. I really thought it would be dumb niche poo poo, but the lock-step agreement is definitely weird. Did zoe bang rupert murdoch? Also, did anyone watch indie movie? I could barely watch it, especially when that one dude almost cried over internet comments demanding "where is my game u dumb idiot ausitimsal fag?!"

Challenge anyone with a bullshit job and they will get defensive, because they know they're ultimately useless and expendable. It's telling that AN ENTIRE loving INDUSTRY has become collectively defensive in the past few weeks. Also quite hilarious. Get real jobs you fucks.

Charity turns down Reddit's pity money for looking at stolen celebrity photos Prostate Cancer Foundation returns funds raised in the wake of Celebgate http://www.theverge.com/2014/9/2/6099005/charity-turns-down-reddits-pity-money-for-looking-at-stolen-celebrity quote:Reddit users raised more than $5,000 for the Prostate Cancer Foundation earlier today, but the organization doesn't want a dime. The reasoning? The money was raised on r/TheFappening, the now-infamous section of Reddit where more than 100 celebrity nude photos, the result of an iButt hack electronic break-in (or maybe many iButt electronic break-ins), were widely distributed. What's the over/under that the prostate foundation will reject TYFC's donations after emails claiming it's tainted money (from harassing women on the Internet)? What's the over/under that TFYC get to the point where they are making money from the game and have to donate money to charity?

What did that BBC article even do in the end? My first thought was "Oh god damnit really?" But it was pretty immediately shoved into the background. Then again, it was just more glossing diatribe that we've seen for literally the past two weeks.

Many times this year when new games come up as a topic of discussion I've found myself saying, "I kinda don't care anymore, I just play the same 2 games and don't care about new releases but the weird industry that makes the drat things is where all my interest is these days"
