brave [little] meme

I’m not sure what’s wrong with the interwebs today, but I couldn’t help detecting a higher and usual fail ratio in the ebb and flow of today’s news inanity. I will therefore take up the role of grumpy old man, and list them here for your perusal.

HipHopGamer finds a way to use the term “Killzone” to boost views to a completely pointless article which can be summed up with the words “Brink is Pretty.” Note to bloggers: provide a source and context for your article, and use actual grammar if at all possible.

Ars Technica fails to remember that games are meant to be fun, and gives the rather enjoyable Prototype (Xbox360, PC, PS3) an abysmal review on the grounds that you play a morally dubious character. I hadn’t realised a moral choice component had become a necessary part of all new game releases.

Wired graces us with an utterly inane article on buyer’s remorse, listing gems along the lines of  ”Sucks to be you is you have an iPhone 3G because the 3GS is now out, so you should have waited.” Boggles the mind.

Finally, a perfect example that you just can’t trust any one source anymore. Here’s a report on how analysts say the iPhone’s just not ready for the enterprise, and here’s another saying the exact opposite. 

Oh, what fun.
