Game Journalists Are Incompetent Fuckwits

Game journalist: n - An individual who writes professionally about computer and video games, although may not adhere to a professional work ethic. May not research or fact-check stories. May be more interested in hyperbole than actual constructive criticism of media. May be incapable of determining the mathematical average of a 0-to-10 scale. May be unable to handle criticism. May claim to be "just a blogger" or "not a journalist really", which is at least partially true. See also: Game PR.

GamePro, McKinley Noble: Is Steam Finally Coming to Microsoft’s Xbox 360? [September 9th, 2011]

It’s takes seven seconds to research this, people. That’s not even seven seconds in a row. That’s accumulative. Come the fuck on.

Update: Just had a brief Twitter conversation with McKinley. He now knows about the 360 support links in the Left 4 Dead/Orange Box manuals for the 360, but he’s decided he’s not going to update the post. He thanked me for the critique, though, which was nice. Isn’t that nice? I think it’s nice.
