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.

Telltale Games has released a brief teaser for an unannounced project which features the silhouettes of an interesting mix of iconic old school characters including Tycho Brahe (Penny Arcade Adventures), Max (Sam & Max), The Heavy (Team Fortress 2) and Strong Bad (Strong Bad’s Cool Game for Attractive People).

With the tagline; “bet you never thought these guys would get together,” the studio couldn’t be more spot-on. These characters span numerous adventure games and a team-based shooter, so the genre of the unnamed title is highly unpredictable. Couple this with the fact that the characters are owned by three different developers (Telltale Games, Valve and Hothead Games) and we have a lot of guesswork on our hands.

That VideoGame Blog: Unlikely crew to headline upcoming Telltale Games title [August 28th, 2010]

If Hothead Games own the Tycho Brahe character then I’d say that Mike and Jerry got absolutely shafted during the On The Rainslick Precipice of Darkness licensing negotiations. Same goes for Telltale Games’ “ownership” of Sam & Max.
