The Anonymous Source

[McMullen]

I don't doubt that scanning for used games will eventually be done by someone, probably Ubisoft or EA. Then some patch will come along that will cause all those flagged consoles to mysteriously stop functioning.

Socks never lie.

This is truth and fact and truth.

I'd trust anonymous sources if I knew they liked big butts. Because people that like bug butts cannot lie.

Are you saying the great and glorious news writers engage in sock puppetry? Anyone seen Greg Tito in the flesh and was he wearing 2 socks?

Tito only wears socks.

It works for an anonymous any

Last time, it was a totally awesome game concept. This week, it's a totally believable look into anonymous sources the gaming business.

I'm not sure if you guys are joking anymore!

Not just gaming business, I believe this technique is highly utilized in the sports media world as well, especially among trade rumour bloggers.

No news day? There's no such thing as a "no news day" when you stalk a ton of game devs on twitter. Like, Paradox Interactive is planning an TBS-RPG like Heroes of Might and Magic. I'm the only one that reported on that last week.

Is that supposed to be a red version of Beast from X-Men?

 

[Lunar Templar]

it's kinda disquieting how legit that actually seems

 

[tehweave]

I did always wonder where these "leaks" came from. And also where all my socks went.

THAT EXPLAINS EVERYTHING! My socks are leaking rumors about the new xbox, which is why they're no longer in my dryer! Genius!!!

Oho, didn't know Microsoft had snagged engineers from the customer relations department at BLAZEMONGER^TM INC.

Who's the fat guy?

Anyway I'm glad you've gone back to comedy.

He reminds me a little of Harry Knowles, but I'm not sure video games are in his wheelhouse.

 

[Agow95]

I would not be surprised at all if something like this was the case with most "anonymous sources"

 

[Canadamus Prime]

I'm not sure if this is supposed to be something humorous or a scathing commentary on video game
journalism. . . . .

I'm guessing it's both.

Indeed.
If sock says that you are insane it is most probably truth.

The simpsons called - they asked if they can have their joke back when you've finished with it.

Only if they give it back to Red Dwarf once they've wrung it out.

I like the way this comic has gone with a serious story line and funny little "Meanwhile" segments.

Tito only wears socks.

Does he wear them with sandals?

OT: Anyone can be anonymous. Even the author

Our editors keep an eye out for as many sources as they can get, but they also spend a lot of time not reading the Internet and doing other work.

If you care enough to comment on it, please let us know when you see something of interest ("Tip Us" link on the bottom of every page): http://www.escapistmagazine.com/contact/subject/news

Well it's Harry Knowles, obviously.

Is it me, or has the emo girl sorta went through some sort of Art Evolution...she looks a bit less dementedly distant and more...standard compared to the rest of the characters.

Unless, they're new characters, or simply one shots elsewhere in the building?
