Why does game journalism suck?: Angry Joe FTW!

Mr.Shitface really believes his jokes don’t marginalize minorities because in his mind he’s attacking people who don’t really exist- Minorities who disagree with him. So there’s nothing racist about insulting blacks who don’t really exist etc.

But they do exist, and now he has burned away his remaining reputation and credibility.

What a colossal fuckup.

And here we go

I really really liked Brutal Legend though. :frowning:

I think that this settle it, i am not getting Grim Fandango even if is free on PSN+

Damn… that’s raw emotion.

Oh wow look at that, half naked dancers at GDC LIKE IN PREVIOUS YEARS:

The hypocrites can’t practice what they preach, as always. Look at the latest reviews of DOA5LR, repeating the same shaming argument against gamers.

From 2013:

There was a stream yesterday with an ex-journo who said that a lot of the networking happens in after parties like this where people get drunk as fuck and do drugs. Sessler is a good example of someone who popped and couldn’t stop.

Sweet Jesus…Why didn’t Sessler just take the night off? That is just painful to watch, just wow…

Dude was GRIIILLIINN’, lol!

Apparently, queen bitch of hate Leigh Alexander is leaving Gamasutra to found a “website for women in gaming.”

Fuck outta here…

So is it gonna be like the gaming equivalent of Lifetime?

No, Lifetime can be informative, insightful, entertaining, and engaging every now and again…

Good for her, we keep telling them to do it themselves, and now she is.

Also makes it easy for me to not stumble across her articles.

So gaming equivalent of Oxygen then.

God, that Sess vid always ends with me cracking the hell up.

At about 0:16, it looks like he forgot how to speak and was learning it all over again, and I usually just burst out laughing and stop right there.

Did you see the new Diversitywatch Overwatch character? This is obvious pandering to a specific crowd.

But here’s the point:
A list of things gamers WON’T do about it:

  1. Write hit pieces about the game and about Blizzard because they don’t like the character design.

  2. Get Target Australia to remove the game from their shelves.

  3. Claim that it causes social ills in real life without actual proof.

But maybe they will petition the white house as a joke again like with DmC.

The irony about this FPS is that if you hate the design, you should pick it yourself. You won’t see it but others will.

Pandering to lesbians?

The question is “Will these people even play the fucking game, not to mention spend money on it?” and that is Blizzard’s problem, not ours.

BTW the responses at 8chan range between indifference and:
