What is the Week of Hate 2009?
Whining bigger and louder than the rest of the internet (annually)
We love videogames.
That said, there will be no further mention of why gaming doesn't suck this week.Instead of our usual chipper attitudes, we'll be updating this page daily with a focused look at the shallow, lazy and dull parts of gaming we can't stand,like thesevideosfrom last year's Week of Hate. Or these videos from this year:
Our searing video will jellify your eyeballs!
We draw our +6 Vorpal Blade of Indignation
Our bilious video bashes the most despicable of all genres
Along with our vids, we'll be singling out and defiling the games you love, the games you love to hate and the games your girlfriend hates. We will shamelessly slander topics as broad and unassailable as "shooters" and "casual games." And we will shoot ourselves in the footwith issues like the most hated PR bullshit and habits of the non-gaming media.So welcome to the Week of Hate. We never really liked you anyway.
See how videogames turn respectable journalists into raving lunatics
