E. Zachary Knight: If the videos are of sufficient quality that people subscribe and watch regularly, then those let's players are providing a service that people want. That is the heart of capitalism. That is not something that should be shamed.05/17/2013 - 8:06am

E. Zachary Knight: I have no idea who either of those people are. However, I still don't see why making a business out of creating let's play videos is somehow evil or wrong.05/17/2013 - 8:04am

MaskedPixelante: It sure is if you're just doing it for the money. See Tobuscus and/or Pewdiepie for what happens when people get into it just for the money.05/17/2013 - 7:30am

Imautobot: @Sleaker, further gameplay has revealed that the controller button do stick under the faceplate. Also, The NES emulator (Emuya)keeps crashing on me, though I think a bad ROM is causing it.05/16/2013 - 7:10am

Avalongod: @Zach and quicnkold...I've read the bill and the intent of it is to fear-monger. It's not a balanced message. I don't recall the ESRB being mentioned at all. It's more "keeps your kids away from these movies/games or they'll become violent"05/15/2013 - 4:35pm

E. Zachary Knight: quiknkold, The big problem with that legislation is the amount of misinformation out there. Who is going to ensure that the information in the pamphlet is accurate?05/15/2013 - 3:25pm

quiknkold: REBeardogg : I'm on the fence about this. on one side, I want parents to be aware of the ESRB, and even Movie Ratings. On the other hand, I feel this will be used for nothing but Propaganda. The ESRB does a good job.05/15/2013 - 3:07pm

Kotaku is still much cooler than you are and poking at GP won't change that.

I'm fairly conservative myself and I don't find this site or it's news even remotely leaning left.
18-24 year old males like video games. 18-24 year old males make up the bulk of the enlisted armed forces. The minors could soon be 18-24 and the military was there to improve their image so when those minors came of age they might have joined up.
Interestingly, nobody ever says a bulk word to other advertisers. Nor do they bitch at car dealers who get 18 year olds to take 6 year variable rate loans out on cars they cant afford. Or credit companies that prey on the stupid. People make it seem so bad to end up in the military, when you get at least 2 years of health insurance, steady income, education assistance, housing, and other things paid for, and leave with a skillset or trade.
It's one thing to hate, but it's another thing to state why you hate.
Basically I think the hate is because Jim Sterling takes over where Robert Summa left off. A couple of sad little attention seekers who bait fanboys (not that difficult really) in order to generate traffic on their site.
Plus, are we really meant to take them seriously as journalists when they turn up to gaming industry conventions wearing the same daft bloody robot head and taking photos of all the 'booth babes'?
I have no idea what the definition of "liberal" or "conservative" is anymore. Personally I lean to the left more than most people I know, where I do think that the state should have control over certain things (like utilities and public health services, but that's another story). But any time I hear a democrat on tv going on about censorship for protection, or increased restrictions on gun sales, or anything that unnecessarily restricts individual rights, I have an urge to hit something. Stupid worthless party...
I was brought up thinking that Liberalism had to do with upholding individual rights, but needing the state to ensure that no one's rights are trampled. But, frankly, do so-called liberals with power ever do that anymore? Once you tell people what rights aren't allowed for their own good, you fail. So that definition's either dead, or there are just no real liberals anymore.
I'd say that almost all politicians with any power are Communitarians these days, whatever -wing they belong to. There's no way GP is in support of that philosophy.
@Benji
I'm pretty sure neoconservatism has moved the political spectrum so far to the right, that any libertarians are gonna look like left of center, however conservative they also are.
I agree that a lot of fanboys are easily baited with some of their articles, but i still find the majority well written and entertaining......er, at least entertaining.
I'm desperately trying to figure out what one thing has to do with the other. I suppose if we were to wear a fedora that says "press" on it, we'd have a better shot of being taken "seriously." I'll take it into consideration if it means you'll subscribe to our RSS feed.
Second, the comment wasn't a "this is how leftist GP is", it was a "GP has attained this level of political discussion as regards video games". Left or not, Kos has a huge readership and has become rather influential.
Both site's are excellent at what they do, so maybe you guys who are slamming Destructoid should actually READ the article in question before attacking Nex or the rest of site. GP has a (well earned) reputation as the hub for videogame related social and POLITICAL news, pointing that out isn't a slam.
Anyway, whatever the readers think, I'm a massive fan of GamePolitics and am glad to see they notice us.
1. Something said for the sake of exciting a laugh; something witty or sportive (commonly indicating more of hilarity or humor than jest); a jest; a witticism; as, to crack good-natured jokes.
2. Something not said seriously, or not actually meant; something done in sport.

the military part didn't jump out at me as much as the hypocrisy. it didn't seem like it was leaning to the left to me, and i'm republican.
i guess it's how you look at it.
It wasn't just the accusations that got old back in May. Cheap articles and cheap shots is pretty much all I read followed by a compulsive need to seek Diggs. Okay so maybe the Summa comparison was a little harsh, afterall you at least bait all the fanboys equally, but it was still the same old same old.
And yes, I get that Destructoid is being 'amusing' in its style and isn't to be taken entirely seriously, but that sort of humour does have a lifespan... I think we both agreed on May?
since the daily kos is a recognizable name in political blogs it is easy to compare us to a well known source, if they were to name lesser political blogs, their message may be lost. i believe they are simply saying that we are ploitical, not hold the same political values
where it gets lost in translation is when people leaning to the right hear that GP is compared to the kos, since the kos is a left leaning blog, they would see this as an insult to their beloved GP. but on the flip side a left leaning individual could see GP compared to the kos as a compliment if they were to see the kos as a positive blog
but then again, this is just my interpretation, so i could be full of crap
