PC Gamer sucks.

I wish Computer Gaming World still exists. PC Gamer just doesn't cut it for me. Granted, the magazine has an okay layout, and usually I get to read exclusive reviews faster than from any other sources, but the language is... grating. Now the magazine throws cusses around and sounds like a 14-year old entering puberty. In other word: gross. Things weren't like this when the previous editor-in-chief Dan Morris was in charge. It was fun but retained a respectable feel and had a wider appeal. Now Greg "TheVede" Vederman, who used to be in charge of the hardware articles, makes reading the magazine an irritating exercise. Like I've said before, there's the cussing ("dammit, sh*t, f-ing, f**k, bitch"). And then there's the joke articles, which IMO, I never found to be funny, they're gross and lowbrow at best. And why the hell does the magazine kept fueling the pointless, stupid, insipid, juvenile anti-console sentiment to PC gamers? While personally I also don't like the Xbox and 360 (mainly because most of their most popular games were stolen from the PC), don't these people realize that it's all about the games. If we get to play great games? They have their own games, and we have ours. Seriously, the majority of these console-bashing and PC-bashing morons are immature teenagers. Which probably is the target audience this magazine has. If I hadn't subscribed to the mag for a year, I wouldn't have bothered with it at all.

Nguehehehe .. itulah, PC Gamer dari dulu memang suka terburu2 ngasih review.. pingin cepat aja.. sekarang tambah pula reviewernya seperti gak lulus SMA.. I think it as a negative byproduct of PC gaming's rise from obscurity.. whenever something becomes too popular, you also attract riff raff.. this applies to any industry.

Contohnya manowar!! All other bands are just posers!! Manowar is true metallll nguahahahahahahahhahaha
