I know. Seriously, Kotaku is thw orst. Did you see this guy's article?! Can you believe any site would publish trash like this?! It is clearly written by the epitome of an immature fanboy.

So let's get all of our video game journalism from heavily opinionated vloggers who are sure to be "unbiased."

That had to be a link fail. Sarcasm on the rest of it aside, over the years I've seen enough from their reviews and opinions I put them on the bottom of the list of mainstream large sized media sites.

I've already gone over the "no one is truly unbiased" bit. Plus I'm not advocate everyone listen to the guy, not at all. I just like listening to people that can more or less say whatever they want and not fear some huge company is going to stop sending the hookers and blow so to speak.

I haven't read Joystiq in years. I didn't even know that site still existed.

That was an epic link fail. Thankfully, I have now linked to the correct article.
In my previous post, not here.
