wow what a disgusting site, it simply made for mobiles only and tables. Font is 1 million px, each line height is 1 gazillion pixel, i fucking hate this fucking hipsters sites.

Blaaarghhh

Hi, GYP web designer\developer here. I just registered to call you a putrid waste of oxygen with shit taste. Once you have been schooled in the visual arts (note: this will not happen, you are too stupid) you will concede that the font size is perfect and makes for a fantastic reading experience, and that you were wrong. If you were schooled, you would also grovel, but this will never happen, because you are too proud (arrogant, even).

Now, if you don't mind, I'm going for a 2AM ride in the twelve sportscars that my dirty web design money got me. Later, losers.

Has it been mentioned that GYP was founded by some folks from /v/?

 

[Renegen]

This thread has 2001 AD potential.

ps: the font is too big, unless you suck cock.

Dear lawd....

 

[Redlands]

Has it been mentioned that GYP was founded by some folks from /v/?

It would explain why the site isn't designed /v/ery well.

Jokes aside, the font does feel too big. Maybe it's because almost every other site has a smaller font.

Good article btw.

 

[Angthoron]

People complaining about the font size should check their privilege. You ablist scum, thinking everyone can see tiny letters.

 

[Zewp]

Bigger font size means bigger pages means more ads can be crammed into the margins.

Smart.

 

[Kem0sabe]

Someone should be prospered for summoning 4chan.

I can't always either, that's why I have ctrl+mouse wheel.

More privileges, have you thought about people that can't do that? People that can be triggered by ctrl-mousing? I didn't think so. How insensible, you should educate yourself.

I am someone who thinks if you do something, whatever it is even writing for videogames, you should take it serous. But theres a fine line between serious and fucking ridiculous. "...be aggressively vulnerable in writing, to wear my flaws and my fears on the outside of my heart, to bleed and not care who sees." - He took that line and gleefully snorted it. You have to be a very good writer and certainly not in Videogamejournalism to be able to say such things and be taken seriously, he isnt.

The most powerful thing you can bring to writing – about games or otherwise – is who you are

Funny thing, I got Scorpia's review for U4 a week ago, and it was 100% "Scorpia", anyone that read any of her articles could recognize the writing, from the humour to the "Foozle".

None of these guys have nothing like that. You can swap names and articles and it matter not, they all write and sound the same, standardized as hell. I think this is one of the savings of youtube personalities: they actually HAVE personalities.

I disagree with this. I can spot Grayson's writing in seconds. His level of pretension, and his almost creepy desire to identify with his audience stands out.

I can also usually spot John Walker and Adam Smith.

Grayson kind of illustrates the bloated sense of self worth that many game critics/writers have, and why they are/should be a laughingstock to actual writers and journalists.

Write about games, share opinions, argue about them, have fun, whatever. Just stop pretending that what you're doing has any kind of social or cultural significance.

Your heart would still be inside your body so all of your gay fears would remain invisible.

Reminds the world the term visual novel exists and isn't at all insulting, eventually turns into a flashback of these last few years' DRAMA.
