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.

id's Hollenshead: 3D TVs are "fucking expensive"

Wow. Developer states obvious. This is news.

(Here’s the Google Cache version of that link for people who don’t want to send pageviews to VG247.)

Not only is this a case of “developer states obvious”, but Patrick Garratt’s writing is just dire. It’s the sort of thing one expects to see in a copy of Heat, not on a fuckign gaming news site. I mean, “the muscly developer criticised pretty much everything about the tech”? What the everloving fuck, Patrick?
