You wanna know what the difference between cool people and not cool people is?

Another thing too, which I think makes the GG entirely unnecessary as far as subjects go, is that there are plenty of youtube vidja reviewers who do a way better job at cultivating a relationship with their viewers. Which is to say, IGN and Kotoku are kind of outmoded anyway really.

@Vilageidiotx

LP'ers are perhaps the better and more entertaining option if for what you said about them being more personable and having a closer relationship with their audiences (they are after all a voice to put to the words, or a face and voice as opposed to words on a screen). Though still not all together perfect. Depending on league of LP'er you can still be bought off, though perhaps in a more obvious manner.

Like Game Grumps getting their copy of Dark Souls III earlier than anyone here in the states. From Software expects them - and they did - play the game early to get America hype and then the game is released and everyone buys it because "Arin played that game!"

Lack of overall YoutTube and AdSense transparency prevents me from saying anything else about their funds. But safe to say on that one case they can be bribed.

In any such case I do fucking adore Chip and Ironicus.

The Question about Nation RPs in terms what's the Nation Sheet includes?

Ah, okay. That's nice to know.

Thank you, guys who posted on this thread.

I guess there's a different kind of sheet for Corporations? >.>

@Landaus Five-One

It depends on what you think is best. Proprietor of PoW here by the way.

I've never saw it necessary to alter the nation format much when adapting it to corporations or NGOs. All that you'd need to do is make some small changes, like change "territory" to location of their headquarters and not expect anyone to post maps really.

There isn't really a way to make it into a legit journalistic field because it's pretty much just an industry about personal opinions. Even movie reviews, which are considered respectable, are hard to call journalism. Roger Ebert was a cool guy and all, but he wasn't a hard-hitting journalist, he was a dude who was good at watching movies and telling you his opinion about them. When you double back and figure that places like Kotaku and IGN don't have the sort of patronage that movie reviewers have, but rather rely on prostituting for clicks, their behaviors is completely what you would expect.

@Vilageidiotx

When clicks bring ad revenue too there's not much that can be done except for totally avoiding them all together.

But at least with movie reviews I don't know if there's any cases - at least that I've heard - where film reviewers get paid off by MGM. But if Batman vs Superman is to suggest anything than a movie that can absolutely bomb in the reviews can still get picked up by the people who'll buy tickets.

_{they're all fucking bloggers}

@Fabricant451

Yea, I think that's something folk need to understand too. They're not big entertainment journalists working for the likes of CNN or ABC or BBC. At the most they're individuals who write in the same blog field who've rallied into an organization that calls itself news. But as a post I read back when GG was just beginning to unfold many - or all of these glorified blogs - could not meet any professional journalistic criteria, and therefore could not associate themselves with the formal real news and media sites.

Shit, the show that shit-talks celebrities and goes on about their daily lives I think has more journalistic integrity than these types.

But as I said earlier the internet does allow for a level of democratic control or ability of choice on what sort of information to produce or consume according to what you want or think is lacking. "Videogame journalism" as it stands is one of the side-effects of the personally curated world of media consumption. Ignore it or read it or view it, do whatever.

The shame of course I'll pepper this with though is that the likes of Kotaku or IGN don't nearly take it as seriously as they could as leaders in their respective fields. If more people flexed their democratic powers as media consumers then maybe they'll be forced to fix themselves, but tbh I don't know if enough people realize this.

we are building a house now

<Snipped quote by Dinh AaronMk>

I like the toilet-hall which can only be reached through your giftshop. Also not sure how the entrance works here exactly.

@Vilageidiotx

I think there's a teleporter in there, like in Star Trek.

In order to access half the house you have to cut through your room to head back outside and wrap around to my life-size plush factory, where I have to wrap around to the east-side of the house to go to bed.

But at least I don't have the high-traffic bed room.
