No, Hitler got his start because the German people had been squeezed to hard after WW1, but that is different thing all together.
I remember all the magazines i read were always taking a pop at the competition, except for the PC mags, who were all like "we are way above that shit!"

 

I was trying to use a little hyperbole to lighten the thread (with a reference to the computer in Tron thrown in), but this sort of crap really does get on my nerves.  To someone that is reaching 40 I am getting really sick of people half my age that seem to think they know everything.  The great thing is once they are my age they will have to deal with all the same things I do now.  Ah sweet retribution :).

I really can't take any of this too seriously, but I do think the critical thinking skills of the general populace have gone down a great deal and may degrade further.  I just hope we don't end up like the movie Idiocrasy.

 

 

But... but... it has elecrolytes.

That is what I mean. Even if it was brought up before they never went this far. You might have but from my "limited" personal experience I have never before seen gaming journalists making sweeping generalizations about a fanbase and picking quotes from fans and shooting them down as part of an article.

I can't remember a time when gaming journalists were making examples out of the very people who read their stuff.
