How do video games have journalism? Is there gonna be a video-game-TMZ that reveals Princess Peach's shocking affair with Kirby!?
You're probably kidding, but just in case, ideally video games journalism follows news in the game dev industry – who's coming out with a new title in their franchise, who's going out of business, whose new game sucks, etc.
Alternately you write a headline about anything controversial Phil Fish said, then sit back and enjoy the page views as everybody argues about whether or not he's an asshole.

Disclaimers would make sense for this type of cryptic satire. Just saying. I'd make it less confusing and much funnier.

It's a satirical take on journalism. It point out how "news" sites often use clickbait-y titles/headlines that have almost nothing to do with the actual content of articles, just to get more views. It also calls out journalists for targeting certain celebrities/industry leaders with rumor-mongering/tabloid journalism, hoping to get a rise out of them and thus attract more attention to themselves.
Humorous and accurate, whether applied to e-sports or just journalism in general. 5/5
any chance this can be placed somewhere in the OP or something? because i thought that guy was actually serious until i read this post. i guess you could do that to avoid confusion among other viewers who don't read comments?
just a suggestion. i loved the blog "though"
OOPS I PUT "THOUGH" IN QUOTATIONS AND IT IS NOT A QUOTE.o_O

I thought the satire was pretty obvious, but that may be because I'm familiar with Pyrion. If you see a blog from him on TL/LiquidDota, you can pretty much go ahead and assume it's satire.
dat British humor.

I agree with him on that
indeed
you come across as a little cunt in this post too.
If he didnt call someone a bitch then he didnt call someone a bitch and saying he did is slander.
I'd be surprised if you got a job in journalism is people knew about that.
your a liability.
But thanks for advertising yourself, i now have another name to avoid.

Seems somehow less poignant in an age of ubiquitous smartphone ownership.

Sooo this was all satirical and therefore fictional? What point was attempting to be made? That some girls bait guys into insulting them and then cry misogyny? Or...?
Edit: Apparently the OP is a man..? You know your bad at satire when hardly anyone has a fucking clue whats going on. lol.

I like to think I understood it well enough. It's always a bit of an odd argument for someone to misunderstand a piece of art and then say "well, if it were any good I wouldn't have misunderstood it." It's not totally false, but also a bit obnoxious to blame other people for your own failure to comprehend.
