Nowhere, if its important someone will tell me about it in person. Otherwise who cares lol.

If it's important, someone will post it here. I like going to gaf for impressions and learning about niche games I other wise wouldn't hear about that.

gaf, why search for news when some one else already has.

That's what I did for years before I even became a member.

oa, gaf, here.

I post at SA, and SA isn't a new gaming board. It's more of a game discussion board. We talk about games over at SA, and news posts are few and far between. Most news is posted in console specific threads.

Well it doesnt exist so just read GAF

Himu · « **Reply #10 on:** March 26, 2007, 04:40:13 PM »

What the fuck?

Vizzys · « **Reply #11 on:** March 26, 2007, 04:50:26 PM »

Himu · « **Reply #12 on:** March 26, 2007, 04:54:08 PM »

Pretty much.

Gaf gets shit before any news site does, usually. It loads up easily too, I can't fucking go to 1up without my puter fritzing out.

1UP loads so slowly it's ridiculous.

Guess I'll just keep reading GAF... but they're still a bunch of fucking losers.

THANKS FOR NOTHING GUYS

You don't have to post you tool. Just read the first couple of posts in an important thread.

I never said anything about 'posting' anywhere.

Thanks for the insults, though.

When I use tool I don't really mean it as insult. Should've accompanied it with a lol smiley.

What I meant is that you can still get the news there without having to deal with the sick fucks there.

I'm still upset over you insulting me. :'( Leave me alone.

Man this thread got emo.

You shouldnt let GAF get you man, sure theres tons of chumps and distinguished mentally-challenged fellows posting there, but you can laugh at them...

Yeti · « **Reply #18 on:** March 26, 2007, 09:26:37 PM »

I used to go to gaf for gaming news, but there got to be way too many threads to search through.

Now I get all my news from here. $:-\$

ToxicAdam · « **Reply #19 on:** March 26, 2007, 10:53:50 PM »

I like Blues News, he gets alot of PC stuff that GAF misses.

My first forum I joined was The Next Level (another GAF offshoot, I think?) .. pretty decent for discussion and lolz, but the traffic is horrible. I haven't been there in a few years now.

bork · « **Reply #20 on:** March 27, 2007, 12:06:42 AM »

Generall gaf. People are just too quick there. News from magazines makes it onto the forums a day or two before they even get released, plus anything else that gets announced elsewhere is on gaf almost immediately.

littlemathletics · « **Reply #21 on:** March 27, 2007, 12:11:20 AM »

I mainly just go to Gamasutra (for business news) and GAF (for OMG DMC4 NON-EXCLUSIVE SONY AM DOOMED news).

The main gaming blogs just annoy the shit out of me with their crappy writing and bottom-feeding journalism, for the most part. I read GameSetWatch and follow links from it, but that's about it.

Kotaku is very fast and is refreshing since they have humor and light editorial comments embedded in the news, and they don't take themselves seriously, they also have nice features from time to time, along with user comments if one desires to dig deeper in a particular game news

probably the best alternative to GAF

Catz · « **Reply #23 on:** March 27, 2007, 03:12:16 AM »

GAF, OA and sometimes IGN

Kotaku is the most tabloid news source available for gaming.
