I Was a Guest on Pondercast. We Complain About Journalism

I know for a fact my arguments don't really stand up, but in my defense it's a huge topic and I didn't really have time to go into too much depth on each one. I think there is some talk to another Pondercast with me on specifically talking about the solutions, but we will see. For those interested in the discussion of games journalism; I present to you an episode of Pondercast tailored to your needs. Pondercast is a podcast I’ve been subscribed too since it began as it’s a gaming podcast that talks about smart-people topics. Skipping merrily over the light-weight news to the more meaty topics people like me love to listen to.

As I’m not one to beat too much around the bush with my views on games “journalism” I was asked on as a guest for this episode. You can go to the official Pondercast page here (which has details of when in the podcast we touch on each topic), or listen to the 74min show in the embedded player below. Also, points to those who can find all the holes in my arguments. There are many.

From their first episode and this one they sound like they actually have something interesting and intelligent to say while not sounding like pretentious douchebags. iCringe appearance maybe?

What bothers me is how much someone’s value of money changes when they get their games for free. The reviewers that get stuff handed to them don’t see eye to eye with the average consumer.

Oh yeah and there is a video showing off a DLC map for Brutal Legend on Gametrailers.
