"Marcus Beer gives some tips leading into Microsoft's big launch."
Special guest interview: Marcus "Annoyed Gamer" Beer. Roundtable discussion about E3 2018, Spider-Man PS4 release date & Playstation 5 rumors.
The purpose of this post is to put a bit of inform readers about the representation of Wales and the Welsh in gaming. (Wales is the country UK country that nobody's heard off.) However, hings are looking up for the representation of Wales in the video game industry. All things Welsh are slowly but surely becoming more and more integrated into the industry, and in novel and diverse ways to boot. It’s looking like this trend won’t buck anytime soon, with gamers of all nations highly resonating with these Welsh and Wales-inspired characters.…
CCC Says: "Mozart liked poop. Mozart liked poop, a lot.
It's a little known fact, but it’s absolutely true. The famous composer, and a staple in today's high society, composed letters and songs alluding to his fecal fandom. In one example, in a letter to his mother, he can be found saying, "I now wish you a good night, s*** in your bed with all your might." Sure, he wrote over 600 pieces, many of which were acknowledged as pinnacles of symphonic, chamber, operatic, and choral music. Sure, his work has inspired countless others and endured the centuries, but had he existed in an age more geared towards tabloid journalism and viral tweeting, would he have been so well received? Or would Mozart have been written off as some crazy poop guy?"
you should be. Your kind is one of the many reasons gaming is not taking seriously by the rest of the world.
Gamers are the second reason but ill need a blog to get into that.
True. The fanboy battles might as well be fought on Cybertron. The writer seems to have sense. To me, there are 2 types of gaming journals. The hit whores who work on big websites which always hires an appealing girl as they're main reporter and give great reviews to terrible games (COD) and half of the people there aren't even gamers. Then you have the respectable ones who write good articles and know what they're talking about and report the facts. Places like IGN sugercoat everything that MS did with the DRM.
Man, I can't agree enough with your article.
You're also spot on about the attractive reporter to pull in the hits. They're also all over YouTube, giggling and half-talking about the games but mostly playing up to the camera with the hairdo, makeup and the tight t-shirt.
Worse yet is that sites that try to get it right (i.e., BeefJack) don't receive half the amount of props they deserve because 1.) They don't have a tight t-shirt girl doing video news for them and 2.) they aren't sensationalizing enough of their headlines to control page view filtration through aggregators like Digg, N4G or Reddit.
The system is inherently broken and rewards the crooks.
Also...I would love to see how that fanboy war on Cybertron would play out. PS fanboy is losing against an Xbox fanboy, so he transforms from the Cell into an x86 architecture to blow him up...lol
uhh did this article just compare Mozart to Phil Fish ?
Reaching much ?
guy made ONE game, that is DECENT.
Not a bad read....
“In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little, yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face, is that in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so.”
This is just my opinion but...
1. "Game Journalist" sounds pretentious, critic sounds better. No one really says "Film Journalist", do they?
2. Comparing a guy who made one fairly good game to Mozart is so overly hyperbolic it's hard to take the writer serious.
3. Both guys were wrong and childish. Beer more so for starting it, but you can't tell someone to kill themselves and that your life is way better and still be the good guy.
...or to "choke on my ****" and not be considered gay or a troll.
Not that I'm saying there's anything wrong with either of those.
he's still angry w sony clearly...smh lol naw he made good points in vid.
@9:30 to end
I wonder what percentage of n4g users would get folded into this part of his rant.
He's a bit of a tw@
