Old news is old.There's currently the lamest argument happening in Off Topic now where people are freaking out about corruption in gaming journalism or some shit ( because clearly that's what this is about. Mmhmm) while completely ignoring real news journalism corruption and lack of integrity and the fact there's real issues in the world people should care about that's not about somebody sleeping with guys for reviews or whatever.The fact people are more outraged about that than Russia annexing chunks of Ukraine and facilitating a bloody civil war, Islamic radicals slaughtering hundreds if not thousands of innocent people, and the world's biggest ebola outbreak is really kind of sad and pathetic.

The Mittani recently wrote an article about this that boiled it down to "who gives a shit if video game journalism is corrupt? They're video games."As someone who was trying to figure out which side to root for, it opened up my eyes to the question of why I give a shit about any of it.

That's the spirit! Play games for fun, not to get involved in silly spats.

I know, right? There are so many more important things to think about and do than debating who Zoe Quinn fucked or whether or not Sarkeesian is fairly representing the Hitman franchise in her YouTube series. People's priorities, man.

Poor Dervs and his lack of Squeeze-Its. I'll add more continuing outrage that Skittles dared replace lime with nasty ass green apple.
