seriously, i visit a couple different ones and get the same fucking news/rumorwhoring, just spun or written differently. is everyone just rewording press releases nowadays? a lot of the "exclusive" or "features" are plain out boring to read. oh and wow at the many SOURCE: NeoGAF links at the end of articles. *sigh*

Yep thats what gaming blogs do

video game blogs are just messageboards where the thread starter gets a great chunk of web page real estate.

I read QJ.net PSPUpdates because they dabble with PSP Homebrew and the articles are just so awful.

I hate how they start with

[opening chunk of text]

Anyway, I'm a stupid gay who loves dicks in my butt

That "Anyway" opener irritates me to no end, and the SAME guy does it at the SAME points.

Anyway, I'm applying for QJ.net writer position.

That, and that fucking podcast faggotery where its a bunch of dudes talking week-old news over some voice chat program. Seriously, what is this shit and who listens to other people talking about old videogames news.

It would be good, but biased trolling and topic derailment might put some people off

If by "nowadays" you mean since the 90's then yes.

I just mean't any video game site in general.

I have been mentioned twice to my knowledge as "a source" on neogaf on that gonintendo.com site.

And 9/10 times I don't have a fucking clue what I am rambling about game wise so there you go.
