100 Reasons Fanboys Hate GamesRadar

GamesRadar knew right away that in order to get away with the Week of Hate, they'd have to suffer the same derision to which they subject others. It's only fair, right? Online games journalism is not for the thin-skinned.

But before we dig into GamesRadar's many foibles, lets take a moment to reflect on the Week of Hate. Someone is always going to find something to hate about everything. People get so caught up in the rumors and hating and flaming that they forget the simple truth that videogames are about having fun. We want to remember the laughter, the good times. We prefer to have a sense of humor about things. If you can't laugh at yourself every once in a while, you're doomed to live a bitter, unfulfilling life and probably die from a heart attack when you're 40. So chillax, internets, and stop taking yourself so seriously. If it's not fun, you're not doing it right. Now you have another reason to hate GamesRadar: preachy touchy-feely idealism. Well, enjoy the show and keep on hating!

You don't have to be a fanboy to hate GamesRadar. It has poor articles for the most part, and little to no exclusive information on titles. Pretty much a big ad for Future Media products.

4.1 - GameSpot fanboys...
..would disagree with you, but then would have to agree with the video. But then they'd be agreeing with something GamesRadar made, which goes against their pro-GameSpot stance. So they'd have to disagree with the video. So they agree with you?

One thing I can agree to is that all the 100 Reasons videos made me ROFFLE.

They didn't add a "It's not *EuroGamer*", which personally I would compare it to the most, not the US sites like 1Up and Gamespot.

But they ARE a US site. Their US staff is a lot bigger than their UK staff.

Oh really? Fair enough then, I just seem to remember that they were a smaller UK based website before that, can't think of the name, that merged or evolved into Game Radar? Could be thinking of something completely different, I apologise if so.

No reason to apologize; it used to be a small, UK-only site, but went multinational like two years ago.
