Reflex Gamer: The Magazine: The Blog II

We read The Escapist so you don’t have to

Did you know that the gaming media's artistic short bus makes content other than Zero Punctuation and whining that people are posting Zero Punctuation vids on Youtube and thus robbing them of ad dollars? Speaking of which, go to their website right now so that they can masturbate directly into your ...

Would you like some gargle with that blowjob?

It seems that any danger Kotaku was in of appearing as a credible, unbiased source of gaming news has been thrown right out the window. This just days after attempted-comedian Jimmy Fallon devoted NBC airtime to shilling for Microsoft's Project Natal and Xbox 360.  Kotaku was sure to cover that too...four ...

1up to stop ripping off Orlando Jones

You probably already know that Ziff-Davis sold off 1up.com to the smaller, somehow shittier IGN that is UGO. You probably know they couldn't find any takers for gay lifestyle magazine EGM and have decided to close it down. What you haven't heard is how ecstatic I am about it. For ...

Blue makes a pun

Godawful article titles are nothing new to the gaming industry. Everybody's a fucking comedian, when you get right down to it, and it's always amateur night.

Buck up, Sony/Free Command & Conquer games

If any of you happens to be a suicide counselor, we need you to go over to Mike's apartment. His PS3 has broken down and he's sequestered himself to his room, playing Shenmue in some kind of self-flaggelating apology to himself. We're pretty Sony-oriented over this way, but we're not ...

BLOOD BOWL, A MANLY GAME FOR MEN WHO ARE MANLY, AND MEN

I fell in love with this game in the middle of the tutorial. A little text box instructed me to tell one of my line backers to commit a foul. A right click brought a human player football player to run up to an unconscious rat man and kick him ...
