    I guess Randy Pitchford has to spend more $$$$$ on hookers since apparently he needs to get laid more often

    99% of video game 'journalists' are shoddy. Also why is this in RPG discussion?

    Anything that makes billions is serious.

    And yeah, 99% of gaming journalism is re-posting publisher press releases. How can I get that job?

    Back in 2006 I came extremely close to agreeing to a Game Informer subscription at GameStop only because the girl behind the counter was hot. I ultimately declined the offer of a monthly dose of PR and then we got into a conversation on Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater. She ended up inviting me to her place to watch the Final Fantasy 7 Advent Children movie (it sucked), but I ended up fucking her anyway. It was a win-win on both counts. I have to this day never read Game Informer and I got to fuck some animu hot chick. :smug:

    Sometimes it pays to know your jrpg/popamole even if you don't like them. Ah, the memories.

    Because I accidentally posted there.

    Reason I am posting this is to show further evidence how publishers view gaming media as a extent of their PR, that was the reaction about someone (Eurogamer) screwing up their marketing plan.

    It just not ends here, I seem reports that on cases you can break the Review Embargo if the review embargo as long the review is positive (Dragon Age II) and so on.

    Even if I am preaching to the choir I did pick up the article were the writer understood both positions to show there is some hope.

    Yay, Borderlands 2, hope they make it a bit more varied mid-game than the original.
