Geoff calls the bitches out and they cut him off. "Wait, he actually knows what he's talking about.... OOOOH, we're out of time"

Yeah, understood, I said almost the same thing in my response to Meach. I respect that.

But I bet you still have to deal with hacks that don't do their job right, or can't write as well as you do with better jobs making more money. Right? So why should that argument be used to impugn the professionalism of game journalists? It's enough of a meritocracy where the people that do it well are successful, but not enough that there isn't any bullshit. There always is.

I write about video games because I was drafted, and then it became something of a habit. At no point is the word "journalist" going to appear in front of my job description. It's a lot of fun, but hardly of world-shaking importance.

The type of journalism I do is to extend the reach of my rage into the hearts and souls of all people. That's honestly all I want out of life. I can act silly and quiet when people see me, but I usually write on the internet because I believe everyone is daft and worthless and they should damn well know it.

I can do that in video game writing as much as I can shouting at people from my car window. Motherfucking spoiled, Long Island drivers. Let's see how far you'd get without daddy's Beamer.
