Gillen asked writers to see their work as "travel journalism from Imaginary Places", a mission that should provide entertaining reports and stories even to those with no interest in the subject matter.

Hey, I done one of those.

Between gamers and most of the media, I'd rather just cuddle up with my pretend-copy of RPS every night (and PCG, to be fair) and put in some earplugs. It's been even worse than usual lately with the Mountain Dew/Rob Florence/Eurogamer debacle (no shit you're suspect if you've got game advertising plastered all over your public Twitter page and are running promotions for gaming PR companies) and the constant shit-head reactions to reviews - Halo 4 of late, with Tom Chick yet again being lambasted for having an opinion - grinding everything to a halt.

And you know the review shit-heads are the type to throw about the word "pretentious" without knowing what it means whenever someone attempts to deconstruct something as a creative endeavour, as opposed to pointlessly breaking it up into graded categories and weighting it against the RRP.

Still, I'm not entirely sure whether we can have actual, genuine 'Game Journalists'. I guess they're journalists in that they relay news and can editorialise on the platform, but there's rarely a call for investigative journalism (ignoring the shit that's going on right now). I mean, we call film critics film critics, not film journalists.
