I think Destructoid is to hipster for me

I've been going to destructoid and I finally realized I really don't like the site mostly because there is a bad mix of attitudes there. 
One side of destructoid is like a hyper 12 year old, where they tell terrible jokes and they think they are the funniest people around. 
Basically this side of is summed up  by "hey I just said a bad word I'm awesome and funny."
 
The other side is the hipster side which I find even more annoying. Its the side that is super into inde games. 
I can't tell you how many times destructoid has had the attitude of "I play inde games that makes me cooler than you and makes you a idiot because you play normal games." I remember once they basically said I think it was resident evil 5 was pile of crap because this other guy spent 10 years in his basement making this 8-bit 3 minute long game.

Only reason I ever go to Dtoid is for Anthony Burch's weekly Rev Rant segments, but even those are off-base half of the time.

That's usually a bad thing. In fact, it's pretty much what's wrong with mainstream "news" blogs. On a slow news day, you end up getting fed a whole lot of unnecessary, if you don't just consume everything through an RSS reader, where that kind of stuff is easily filtered out and/or ignored.

I find Jim Sterling hit or miss.  Some of his articles begin pretty well, but then spiral out of control and wind up feeling forced and uneven.  If he'd edit them in half, I think they would have a better response.

I mostly listen to the Podtoid and sometimes read an article or two but I do greatly enjoy Jim. I love it when people get all pissy about his articles and just feed into the point he's making.

If he's annoying people he knows how to be a successful journalist.
