I’m not really sure why you would think I was jealous, or what exactly I am supposed to be jealous of, either.

There’s a lot of things on the internet that I don’t agree with, and everyone is, of course, entitled to their opinion – but sometimes your opinion is wrong, and in this case, it was Games Radar’s turn. You can’t hide that under the guise that it’s just entertainment, because even entertainment can be absolutely wrong and utter garbage. I stand by what I said, and if you happen to be the author of the article, I hope you do better research the next time you decide to write a piece like this.

@HighwayChild: where did you get 45%? That is beyond incorrect. In TalkRadar Episode 46 they confronted this very topic. As of then, less than 2% of their content registered under the tags “Sexy and Babes” which are the tags they use for those articles. 2 percent. Though thank you for defending GR. Very much appreciated.

@xot: “I subscribe to the GamesRadar RSS feed, but only to find more interesting articles posted elsewhere. Actually, I don’t think I do anymore, I was getting too much crap. I have been ignoring my RSS feeds for a couple of months which is why I’m not sure.” Really? I subscribe to their RSS feed to find better articles. Actually I don’t. Cuz I don’t actually pay attention to it so I’m not sure. This isn’t elementary school anymore, quit trying to sound cool. You just come off as uninformed.

@Martin: You expect an article in which you agree with 100% of the content? Not gonna happen. For example I disagree strongly with your blogpost here and you have some valid arguments but I’m not damning you for it. I’m not calling it garbage, or peppering it with strong words. I’m accepting that the internet is a big enough for both of us. I agree that Mirror’s Edge and Sonic were beautiful games. I agree that it’s unfair to knock old games for looking old. But all I have to do is not read the article, or at WORST post in the comments “Yeah I think Mirror’s Edge was a really pretty game”. CRISIS AVERTED. If the internet was everything you agreed with, wouldn’t you find it pretty boring? How long can you really go in a world of yes men. Opinion is the spice of the internet. It’s how you deal with it that decides the rest of the entree.

GamesRadar is not a site to go to for your gaming news. By the editors own admission, you would be crazy to visit GR for that. There are a million other sites dedicated to that. If you want entertaining frivolous articles that are written for FUN, then go to GamesRadar. Clearly you don’t like what they do, so quit visiting the site. It’s a big internet guys.

It’s one thing to spend half your time writing articles about how much you like boobs and farts. That’s fine with me, and though it makes the seem very unprofessional, some people dig that. What I do not like is people writing articles and speaking from an authoritative position on a subject that they clearly do not understand. How many people will read the article I mentioned and think that everything isn the article is 100% factual and true?

It’s great to have a sense of humor, and to entertain your site’s visitors. But when you try your hand at journalism, check the facts please. With the internet at your fingertips, you have no excuse not to, and I will not “lay off” when stupid people spread wrongful information just because they are too lazy to do some basic research.

I once read an article stating that all that the journalists at GR wrote about was tits and farting. Do you know how many articles on GR are about tits and farts, pro-blogger Martin?

45%.

45% of the articles on GamesRadar pertained to boobs and farts. Now, what was the other, what? 55% of the writing on that website? You say it’s unprofessional blabber, no? Well, I love harshly criticizing what people do for a living, but isn’t this a tad stupid? What, do you think that GR is three guys who work on the website together online? What’s this I hear, then? They actually have two major office buildings?

You know, I have to admit, the articles on the UK side of GR are pretty bad, but you can’t just drive a whole site into the ground because of some of the things there. You know, it may be obscene, but when I’m not reading IGN or Gamespot for news, I go to GR. Why? Because it’s funny, goofy, irreverent… no– entertaining as a whole!

Lay off for a bit.
