the liberal media
i love it when non-gaming media reports on gaming. /sarcasm. but, /genuine too.
/genuine, because there’s no such thing as bad press. so even when bad press equates to bad reporting (as opposed to reporting on something bad), it’s a hoot to see one’s profession/pastime in the spotlight for a moment. of course, bad press in the traditional sense is a hoot too. :)
/sarcasm, because…come on. Fallout 3 is “a popular coming-of-age video game”?? because the game uses a time-accelerated coming-of-age sequence as a tutorial device? ah, right. reminds me of that Better Homes and Gardens piece* on Half Life back in the day, that described it as a “wonderfully interactive look at the modern day subway”.
*okay, that never happened. but wouldn’t it have been awesome?
p.s. to hell with “sentence case”. i tried it yesterday. it was 22 additional keystrokes, and made my own words unrecognizable to me. nevermind if it made them more readable to some of you. who am i doing this for, anyway? :)
