Another thing are those posts about announcement of an announcement of an announcement. Those are quite annoying, too..

Everyone on the news team is male, and we all have gaming preferences, so yes, we are all fanboys.

Seriously, though, take up problems with the writer personally. We're not all like that.

To be frank that really isnt good enough though is it... perhaps its time an editor was employed to weed out or you know... edit low standard nonsense like this and many other articles I and others have read and cringed over.

Now it has a proper standalone new site you would think some checks would be in place.

Writers do not have the authority, and nor should they, to change another writer's article.

Believe me, we all wanted to change that article.

I never read the news on this site. I only use it for the forums and the forums only. If I want news I'll check in with Joystiq.

And that's the only thing I need is *this*. I don't need this or this. Just this PS4... And this gaming PC. - The PS4 and the Gaming PC and that's all I need... And this Xbox 360. - The PS4, the Gaming PC, and the Xbox 360, and that's all I need... And these PS3's. - The PS4, and these PS3's, and the Gaming PC, and the Xbox 360... And this Nintendo DS. - The PS4, this Xbox 360, and the Gaming PC, and the PS3's, and that's all *I* need. And that's *all* I need too. I don't need one other thing, not one... I need this. - The Gaming PC and PS4, and Xbox 360, and thePS3's . Well what are you looking at? What do you think I'm some kind of a jerk or something! - And this. That's all I need.
