Take Morgan Freeman's suggestion on racism and apply it to every social problem in existence.

I think the bigger problem is not cynicism and game journalist but rather the reaction to them.

It seems like people are unable of making their own judgement on a game but rather depend on those Twitter accounts and news articles to tell them what to think. I'm not discounting the value of game journalism, but it should be used as one of many forces that allow you to make a decision on a game. I bet a significant number of people will watch a new trailer or gameplay footage of a new game and immediately after read the comments to gauge the general reaction which they then use to make their decision. It's like saying "if all these people didn't like it, then I don't like it".

In terms of cynicism on Twitter, if you don't want that sort of commentary then follow the "official" accounts from your desired gaming website. Sure if you follow one of the individual members of the GiantBomb crew on their personal account, your gonna get their personal views. If you don't want that, don't follow them.

For E3: Someone needs to properly define this as "a show for gamers" or "a show for business". At the moment is straddling a line that tries to satisfy everybody but ends up satisfying nobody.

Most people who criticize games of not pushing the genre either don't realize that their genre has been stagnant for a long time, or have no idea what it takes to push a genre.

It's called the Apple effect. Expect better and better but have no idea what better actually is.

Went in to buy a standard copy of Red Dead Redemption and the guy behind the desk said someone cancelled their special edition pre-order. So I got the special edition at the same at the price of the standard edition.

I agree.

The problem is that these days we give out a license like we do free samples. Here (Ontario, Canada) you get a license simply by passing a written test. You get your first level of license known as a G1 without even stepping into a car. Add in recent technology like texting and live television and it becomes dangerous very quickly. 

Countries in Europe that have strict rules in getting licenses often have lower accident rates. Some don't even have speed limits in certain areas.

Driving assist will only work if everybody on the road were on the same network. It's either all or nothing....there is no happy (or safe) medium.
