Game jounalists who just really tick you off

(Topic does not reflect the ideas or opions of GiantBomb and the GB website)
Tina Sanchez (1up) just annoys the fool outta me.  
Just wanted to get that off my chest.  Anyways, hopefully this isn't a taboo topic, if it is just delete it and pretend it never happended.
Who annoys you?   Also lets leave the GB crew outta this one.
Edit: 3 topics in a row, maybe i should take a break.

at least its not one of those, "who would you kill if you could murder one person for free" threads. :P

Adam Sessler, Leigh Alexander and Jessica Chobot.

Sessler?! Really?  I dunno who the second is but i agree with #3 wholeheartedly "

Jim Sterling is a twat.

" Hillary Goldstein. "

Jeff Gertsmann, Ryan David, Brad Shoecrafter and that weird italian guy really pisses me off...... 
Actually no one, since I pretty much just visit Giantbomb and don't have any problem with anyone here.

Don't have names, but I generally don't like the ignorant ones that judges a game before they learned how to play it, or just don't care to, I don't really care what score they give or what games they like/dislike, but if their job is to play a game, then maybe they could pretend they give a shit and actually play it instead of bashing it before doing so, some reviews are really obvious that they just didn't even get through a level or two. 

There are some that trolls for page hits, those I don't like either, it's one thing to troll for the lolz, but another if they don't know what they're talking about and are doing it before they spent enough time with a game, "obvious troll is obvious".

I really don't read much reviews anymore and just read the feedbacks from gamers, they probably play the games more than the reviewers did and provide me with better information, and there really isn't any reason to listen to what some of those people has to say about games. 

Olivia Munn. If she counts...

" Olivia Munn. If she counts... "

I quite like Jim Sterling. Maybe I just get his humour. I prefer his 'low-brow' stuff compared to Kotaku's whole 'gaming is high art and philosophy' nonsense. 
Speaking of which:
 
1) All Journalists on Kotaku (Bashcraft gets mention here)
2) Leigh Alexander (I could forgive her for the first bombcast but in the 2nd one she didn't learn her lession (despite mentioning she had!) and continued to be obnoxious)
3) The 1up rpg blog crew - I'm an rpg fan but their articles are full of BS. I mean comparing pokemon to Starcraft and Street fighter in terms of competative play? Really?

All of the kotaku staff minus Totillo - a 10 year old could write better articles than they do.

Leigh Alexander.

Sad that everyone is just saying Leigh Alexander based of her epic Bombcast failure. She is one of the better writers in the biz. 
 
Tina Sanchez makes me go crazy. Pretty much everyone on IGN except Arthur Gies or Anthony Gallegos. Or well, I hate those two as well when they are forced to read like this in a monotone voice without any apparent commans and or breaks for what seems to go on for like 20 minutes that makes up every video IGN every makes. Phew.

Anyone that fawns over Apple products 
 
They're good PCs and phones but they're just awful for gaming and I have trouble taking people seriously when they say iPhone is a good gaming platform
 
Also Kotaku ('cept for Totilo) like someone else here said.  But that site is NOT for me, I'm simply not the target audience.

I know that Yahtzee doesn't really count, but goddamn Yahtzee. He's the Armond White of video games.

That beardy mcdonald guy or whatever on gamespot that used to review all the sportsgames back in the day when GB worked there. 
 
BTW what happened to that british guy at gamespot, is he still there. It was so hilarious watching him demo games, he is ten times worse than Brad when it comes to dying in games :)

Bashcraft gets my vote.

Brian Crecente - Not humble. eg: See Brad asking about his hair at E3 '10 at Nintendo's conference and freaking out over some Cheap Ass Gamer blog (Xbox Pure) poking holes through Kotaku's hard-line research and thus never credit CAG for "deal" posts even though they are the source of it all 98% of the time.
 
Leigh Alexander - She ruined the last day of E3 '10.

Chobot is as much of a journalist as I am a sexy time traveling porn star.

They set her the task of interviewing David Jaffe. Clearly there's someone who thinks she's a journalist... :/
 
   
  

  Edit: yeah, I don't like Jessica Chobot or Jim Sterling a whole lot either.

I caught the tail end of that when it was aired live on G4 and I thought it was weird that they were talking about David's penis. Seeing the first part now...wow. Dave is just trying to give his spiel and she keeps interrupting. So annoying. "

I don't know their names, but there are a couple l think on Gamespot who tend to bring their personal politics into too many of their conversations about games, be it sexuality, militarization or cultural insensitivity.  I don't care if you think Jonny Quest was a racist or if Army recruiters giving away copies of America's Army shames you.  Since it isn't about the games themselves, shut the fuck up on that stuff.

" @Ertard:  Its not just the bombcast fiascos, I've read some of her stuff and she misses the point entirely. At the end of the day they're just  videogames

Tina Sanchez annoys the fuck out of me. That she didn't lose her job at 1UP while countless better people got the door is a fucking travesty. 

Jim Sterling and Tim Rogers. 

I subscribed to Leigh Alexander's RSS feed for awhile, but I never felt that her point of view resonated with me at all.  Maybe it's because she seemed to be complaining all of the time.  Then she got all obnoxious - twice - on the Bombcast.  I don't care to hear another word that she has to say.

Leigh Alexander.

Even though I'm British, I find Jim Sterling awful. He tries way to hard to be unique and it really comes off cheap and tasteless. Always laugh when I see an IGN video featuring Jessica Chobot, the comments are usually in the vain of 'Oh, look at her boobies' or 'will you marry me Jessica' having said that, I think she does care about games and she gives a damn. Oliver Munn on the other hand is shockingly bad.  
 
But there not technically game journalist so probably not the best picks :)

You know those Giant Bomb guys really grind my gears. Seriously though, for those here saying "Leigh Alexander" how many of you have actually read her work?

Heaven forbid someone who'se job it is is to give you their personal opinion about games, gives you their personal opnions about the games. "
