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.

Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 is the only game in [Mortal Kombat Arcade Kollection] that has been on XBLA or PSN before, offered a few years ago with a conversion by Digital Eclipse, and taken down once Midway games closed their doors. —

Destructoid, Ian Bonds: Review: Mortal Kombat: Arcade Kollection [September 10th, 2011]

This is, in fact, not true - Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 was only made available for the 360. Mortal Kombat II, meanwhile, was released on the PlayStation 3, although like UMK3 it was pulled after Midway went out of business [Edit: I am informed that MKII is still available on the PSN Store, although why at this point is beyond me.] [Edit II: I am also informed it has, in fact, been taken down and I was right in the first place. Vindication!]

How’s your Sunday going, by the way?
