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.

CVG: “Fortnite: 15 HD screens from Epic’s trailer”, December 12th, 2011

CVG: “50 Hitman: Absolution trailer screens”, December 12th, 2011

CVG: “Rainbow Six Patriots: 13 HD screens from the VGA trailer”, December 13th, 2011

Pressing PrtScn on your keyboard while watching a trailer still doesn’t qualify as “screenshots”, CVG. Or news.

And it never, ever will.

Ever.
