Does Video Game Journalism Have a Future?

[rockmanblues]

Also, always been a fan of Seth Schiesel. He's an incredibly well-educated and intelligent man who always has something of value to say when he talks about video games. He was on a serious episode of X-Play back in like 2004 or 2005 with Adam Sessler talking about video game violence and how it doesn't negatively effect people unless they are already facing serious mental issues. I wish I could find the episode online. Though Adam on X-Play has fallen, he is also still a true game journalist.

'miners dont play games' wtf?

*Sorry, I meant, Video Game Journalism.

[D7maj]

_Video Game have a real dark future if it depends on guys like Croal. And I meant no pun.

Only a fucking unprofessional idiot would mix the subject of a game preview with his personal feelings towards EVERYTHING that involves black people, of which THE GAME HAS NO FAULT AT ALL.

Congratulations, mr. N'Gai Croal. Now nobody will give a shit about what you say about games. There will be a lot more people trolling on your ignorance. Why don't you turn yourself into a black rights actvist, instead?

@D7maj Dude, what video were you watching? I didn't hear Croal say anything about race in this video at all...

[rockmanblues]

@kilosnew I think he's referring to N'Gai's criticism of Resident Evil 5. I'm a a person of color and I have to agree with D7maj on this one. Racism should be made fun of. It's ignorance. And ignorance should be made fun of. Think about why Dave Chappelle's "Chappelle's Show" was so successful. He made fun of ignorance. Unfortunately ignorant people were angry and sent him thousands upon thousands of letter of hate mail and eventually it got to him along with a few incidents on set and HE left.

Neondub,

Using your logic, I could ask you how you can justify playing an instrument in this troubled world. Who cares if you made a few songs?

[Neondub]

With all the troubles in the world, how can one justify playing computer games? Let alone create and market them. Who gives a shit? Losers.

[necrotic43]

your an idiot. yeah lets stop playing games with whats going on. ok lets get rid of movies,tv and music to moron. go plant a tree somehwere idiot

[Neondub]

you mean "you're an idiot"

[necrotic43]

what are you 13 or something? i mean if your gonna reply to what i said and cant think of anything better then what i just said well i guess you have no means of proving your statements or arguments . again that makes you more of an idiot

[Monchanger]

With all the troubles in the world, how can one justify watching YouTube videos of people talking about computer games? Let alone posting comments about them.

[MattMystrieo]

@Neondub If this is your opinion how can you justify spending time to comment on the industry or even having a youtube account at all? Shouldn't you be out solving the troubles of the world?

Journalism, whats that? Its been dead for a while.

[easymike]

Not dead just marginalized.
