every other page on gawker media has legit funny people writing for it who take the absolute loving poo poo out of all their respective targets - the media, men, entertainment, sports, food, etc.

but kotaku is an absolute pussycat and would never DARE call, say, Ubisoft a motherfucker for doing something stupid - at best they'll make a 20 paragraph sternly worded Facebook post that amounts to "ya done wrong, but, well, okay then" because they're scared shitless of not being invited to the next shitball exclusive reveal of rear end creed 5 billion

then again this is true of all game journos

don't kill them, but don't pay them to keep playing good little boys and girls when Mr. Electronic Arts and Mrs. Ubisoft are around

i want these fuckers to be as relentless and mouthy as their betters

pay them to ruin the rear end in a top hat of these companies; who gives a poo poo if they're not going to get exclusive looks or whatever

just read what happened today on Gamespot or Joystiq, then spin it into something actually readable and - maybe, just loving maybe - funny AND also true

readable, funny, and true - gaming journalism's triforce it has yet to grasp

to be fair they basically have to do this because their jobs exist so long as publishers and developers are willing to talk to them. if they actually had balls everyone would just avoid them.

even though gawker/deadspin/jezebel do go after a lot of sacred cows, they take things way too seriously. drew magary is the last of the good old-school gawker journos and he doesn't write poo poo anymore besides his annual NFL preview, a mailbag, and some assorted columns

if nothing else, kotaku manages to be the funniest part of gawker media, albeit unintentionally

Drew's great. I respect how he is very upfront that he cares about the Vikings first and foremost, the NFL as a whole second and literally every other sport in a distant, distant third. That's sports writing I can relate to.

Polygon may be the only Game Journalism site you can hold up as worse than Kotaku. All Polygon needs to become the epitome of insufferability is to hire Brian Ashcraft and have him write a weekly column about how HE LIVES IN JAPAN and about how HE'S MARRIED (To an Osaka girl. [Hey, have you heard of Yokai Watch? Here's forty loving columns about how his lovely kids love it])

idgi I mean it tries too hard to tie into Watch Dogs and is really speculative but police cameras are being covered by a lot of major outlets right now

yeah, that's another issue - hard to have enthusiasm if you know that literally nobody is reading your poo poo

pretty much the reason i stopped writing

like, i stopped writing news, stories, tv and film :smith:

i know popular theory is if nobody reads your poo poo then your poo poo sucks, BUT I WONDER TO THIS DAY

I dunno Retro Magazine owns because they interview people who worked on older games and hardware. It's also a very thick magazine with minimal ads but I've yet to see a boring or terrible issue.

The Primal Rage one was interesting because it showed that nobody to this day can unlock the arcade version and make it portable to home consoles with perfect accuracy.

retro designers have absolutely nothing to lose discussing the details or dishing on their shithead bosses - it's a zero-risk enterprise

that doesn't mean it isn't interesting as hell, tho

I'll try and check it out! Was watching Video Games: The Movie and, while the movie is OK at best, it was still cool to see some of the older Atari dudes talking and whatnot. A retro mag sounds kind of fun

Well they can tie it into new releases because when Metal gear Rising came out they had an interview with all the people who worked on all past and present metal gear games.

But it's actual games journalism that's good.
