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.

Earlier this year voice actress Ellen McLain, who is the voice of Portal’s GlaDOS, was linked with Half-Life 3 by her husband, who voices Team Fortress 2’s Sniper. —

CVG, Tamoor Hussain: Half-Life 3 logo spotted on “Valve employee” t-shirt [December 2nd, 2011]

Was she? Was she really? No, it turns out. There is not a single mention of Half-Life 3. Not one. No connection was made by McLain’s husband nor by Andy Robinson, who wrote the post Hussain links to.

Also: This is a news post about a fucking tee-shirt. Streuth.
