Joystiq and Destructoid are my go-to gaming news sites (other than r/games). I used to browse Kotaku occasionally for the lulz, but stopped when I read an article giving tips on how to play Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. Apparently over half the journalists on the site didn't know basic controls, like the importance of parrying, or how to use/unlock the unlockable dodge, and blamed the game for not properly explaining these mechanics. However, the game has a freaking tutorial that explains parrying, and additional tutorials about nearly every mechanic in the game. It also has a complete movelist two button presses away. That article pushed me over the edge of "haha these guys are so bad it's funny" to "how the fuck do you have a job playing/reviewing games?"

You waited until Revengenanacense to quit it, that by itself is already something worth of note... nowadays i check Kotaku mostly cause its easy to browse, if there is something i want to read about i know the news is also in another better site since 80% of Kotaku's content is talking about stuff other people posted...

As for Resident Dead Evil Left, i'll be around also, mostly friday and saturday night, so save me a slot if people show up!!

Like I said, I browsed the sight to laugh at how bad of journalists they were. Like 90% of one of their "journalists" articles were random things pulled from r/gaming's front page, and not even news-worthy things. Before their incompetence amused me, now it just disappoints me.

Off topic a bit, but that's all the more reason to dump that shitstain of a site that's part of that cancer called Gawker Media. Go to Rock, Paper, Shotgun or Destructoid or joystiq. Y'know, some of the places that at least make somewhat of an effort to maintain some semblance of journalistic integrity that doesn't involve re-posting and jerking off to their egos. That and they don't have Jesus Diaz spewing his idiot vomit all over the place. Not giving that chunderfuck Diaz any clicks is reason enough. Quit giving Gawker media income, bells. That place is terrible all around.

On topic: ZAMBIES! Z-Z-ZAMBIES! I'll probly hop in to watch whenever it goes on (if it is livestreamed). Tryin to be more a part of NPFnights lately.

Oh actually thats a good idea, especially for games with limited player slots. To have someone livestream it so others can watch.

Though, besides me does anyone have a powerful enough PC to run a AAA game and a livestream? Also I know my PC can handle it, but not 100% if my bandwidth can

I do

Who knows how murderous will my ping be but, I think I can handle that.

Also, when will this happen? So that I can begin testing not-livestream and see how much can my connection handle.
