Girl Gamer: Goth Fight

Hey there,

So, in these links, the people expressing the opinion that NGJ is bad are, well, expressing an opinion. In fact one of the links you've kindly popped in has a writer describing him/herself (ok, it's got to be a 'him') as: "A gaming journalist looking from the inside out, wondering why all the joy has been replaced by b******s..."

He then goes on to knock people talking about themselves?

So, would you like to propose an actual opinion as well as the links? Because the whole holier than thou, mystery-man bullshit is as personality driven as something like Pocket's column. At least Pocket - who writes intelligently and with some wit about what gamers do - isn't worried about actually having a personality.

Don't get me wrong, I like dour, worthy, ingenuously self-effacing post-Marxian kant as much as the next ex-student - but at least have the good grace to explain your reasons for posting those two links.

All the chirpy best, old chum

In fact, why not explain it twice, since you posted them twice?

Games journalism will change, evolve, and generally grow/take side steps as happens with practically any other media. I found the article a great read, witty, informed, and in typical pocket fashion - funny.

I can see why someone wanting old school games journalism wouldn't find this particularly great, but f**k it, there's a life outside of games - and most of the times it's a hell of a lot more interesting.

Man you guys have all been watching waaaaaaaay too much Zero Punctuation!??...

I've watched about two of them.

Bear in mind the following:

a) I am English.

c) Zero Punct is English.

b) The entire country has the same sense of humour.

c) This is why we all love Monty-bloody-Python's Flying-bloody-public-school-tedious-pretend surreal-boorish-b******s Circus.

That is all. Cease your internal dialogue.

I love Bill Hicks...
