they’ve been replaced by me googling “(game title) play through no commentary”

This is the truth, unless it is Seanbaby or someone entertaining in their own right, we have youtube and other video platforms and can see for ourselves.

The guy from cracked.com?

Been around far longer than cracked (was on techtv in the early 2000s, where Uwe Boll famously backed down from a televised fight Boll challenged him after seeing that he was nearly 7 feet tall) and gaming magazines in the 90s, not sure if he is still at cracked, or if cracked still exists to be honest.

Just the first name that came to mind when I tried to think of gaming journalists that were actually enjoyable to read.

All I vaguely remember of him is he took the job of far more entertaining people at cracked and shit on them when they left.

And yet it still makes sense that most other gaming journos were even more annoying.

Great, only 24 more people left to force out of the industry then.

In the words of Juan Sánchez-Villalobos Ramírez "Well, that's something we shall have to remedy, isn't it?"

Two dozen is 23 more than needed.

Honestly? 24 more than needed. Game journos are dead - they said it themselves back in 2014. Now I get all my video game opinions from AndyPants. He's better than any ex-Gawker faggot on the planet by a country mile.

I completely agree, but I think one to take all of the brunt for their failings is only fair. If we wish to celebrate the death of games journalism then it is only fair there is a grave to piss on.

I nominate Leigh "I am games journalism!" Alexander to be the last one left.

Here's her Gamasutra article for those interested prior to her approval for The Guardian to publish theirs.

But feel free to watch her deliver her remarks on the subject prior to thinking that things like Sweet Baby Inc. are new ideas that are being bullied.

Big media, like The Guardian and Forbes have been pushing this stuff for over a decade and Silverstring Media (With Johnny Boy McIntosh) are feigning anything to stay in the ring while we're just getting warmed up.

Personally I'm looking forward to the 20th anniversary when mortgages and children, as well as careers, are laid out by those who tried to build this system of attacking gamers :)

All names are recorded and it's all about who write the history to see who is on the right and wrong sides of it.

Of course, they already knew that when they were proclaiming that we were on the wrong side of it. Talk about a red flag to a bull.

So yeah, Leigh should represent all of her cronies until the day when 20 drops and we'll revisit them all with a "This is your Life" type affair and make sure their little beds are as unruffled as they tried to make ours.

I hope those were the best days of your life boys. They sure come with the price of retaliation.

Oh, what a tangled web was woven, All for a handjob from the cloven.

Apologies for not providing an archive link, but literally none of the archives FUCKING WORK!

What the fuck?!


Anyway, it's Schreier so he's probably full of shit, but I hope he's right. The mainstream gaming press haven't been useful since the 2000s, youtubers have completely eaten their lunch a long time ago.

By my math that's about 24 too many.

That's three dozen too many.

Jason and about a dozen others are so bad they actually owe the rest of the world money now.

Gentlemen, I can't seem to find my violin. I sincerely apologize. It appears to have gotten so small, I can no longer find it.
