Joystiq Creates Drama so I Don\'t Have To
What follows after the jump is a letter I stole from Max Console because I'm too lazy to navigate the giant monstrosity that is Destructoid (seriously, it's huge even at 1680x1050). I've tagged on some comments at the end. And yes, I suppose this is old news... but I've been away at a convention that sites like the aforementioned Joystiq and other game chic blogs like Kotaku and...heh, Destructoid manage to avoid. Not enough lights or whatever.

So, poster pulled a bit of a joke on the readers, and they cried because they had a beach in their vaginas? What nonsense.

DR@M@!
Christ. Who gives a shit? How fucking pathetic are these people that they hear "major news at 12:01 tonight about future consoles!" and they think to themselves "HOLY SHIT I MUST KNOW EXACTLY AT 12:01!! CINDY CANCEL ALL MY APPOINTMENTS!"
Fuck. If you weren't going to stay up that late, just go to sleep. The news will be there in the morning. Don't worry, they're not going to start handing out Revolutions at midnight. You're not going to miss anything.
If you were going to stay up that late anyways, what are you bitching about?
Fucking nerds, goddammit.

So some readers got mad because the big news was Nintendo getting the CPUs for their upcoming system which is what? 2 or 3 months away?
That's really fucking retarded. Especially given all the Cell news that pops up all the time.
And for Joystiq to fire a guy because the news wasn't important enough or hyped too much for their readers?
COCKMUNCHES.

I think that they were mostly torqued that we already knew this (http://forums.f13.net/index.php?topic=8148.0), plus the fact that it's not some sort of incredible revelation. For Summa to pretend he wasn't being sensationalist is retarded.
For the record, I didn't bother to look for the Super Joystiq Story until Sep 11. If it was really a Wii date, I would not have had to go to fucking Joystiq to read about it, and at this point anything other than a date/price announcement from Nintendo is just fluff entertainment. You know, like posting about six-week-old job openings.
Also, viewing destructoid.com is not recommended. Perhaps colorblind people could get away unscathed, though.
