That's why I ask about Stern, I've only heard this from him but he just seems to be an older generation host who can't accept change. It's almost embarrassing his obsession with mocking the interviewees, even if one/several of the guys sounds like cartoon characters. Plus his comments about being unable to make a living from video games - the explosion in recent years of reviewers, sites and even tournaments revolving around video games totally voids his credibility.

And, as I mentioned before, he just sounds like a douche.

This is Howard Stern discussing "gamers", with soundbites and a mass amount of ignorance;

  

cool story brah

Much as I prefer the PS3 over the X360, you chose a poor time to swap..

Which gaming review sites do you guys use for checking out a game before you buy it and why?
Obviously we can assume nearly all of you use GB for QL's and reviews, but do you check anywhere else?

Personally I love the GBQL review style where you can just see the game being played, rather than relying on gameplay converted into text, but other than that I'll watch Zero Punctuation for an extremely critical review (http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation for those who haven't seen it), and possibly check on Metacritic for an overall comparison, though this isn't always very accurate. For games that I am considering getting day one, I'll youtube gameplay or check out as many early reviews as possible to ensure my money is well spent.

On the other hand, any review sites you avoid at all costs due to review style/bias? eg. IGN for their apparent love of COD and hatred of any other FPS.

Funny if only to hear you shout "OH FUCK" as Marston slides down. Sounds like you're totally toasted though.

So psychedd for thiss - as long as it's not too distant from Blood Money I can't see myself anything but loving it.
