Game Journalism Of Thrones (The Jimquisition)
🕑 Added 2019-05-27 14:18:02 +0000 UTCWhen Game of Thrones was airing, every Monday morning made videogame websites look like HBO fansites. In the wake of the finale, game journalists couldn't wait to throw their hot takes up.
Game journalism will gladly talk about non-game topics if the requisite "link juice" is in place. I've made jokes about it and upset people in doing so, but I want to seriously talk about it.
Because I understand the reasons for it. It's why MTV isn't Music Television anymore, and why The Buggles' "Video Killed the Radio Star" is more relevant than ever.

From what I gather they went for so much 'looks cool' they made everyone pants-on-head stupid.

Thank god for you, Jim, staying the course and being about Video Games even when you're not talking about A video game. The culture and connections in the video game sphere are well worth examining, and you do a wonderful job of it. Keep it up!

GoT has come and gone and the most I've seen of it is when other shows parodied it. Still, it's good to see a lot of people enjoyed it. Less good to see that the final season for whatever reason sucked.

Yet another great and relevant video... Thank you Jim. I don't always agree with you, but you always make up for that with good reasoning and arguments to back up your point of view ^^ I do agree 100% with you on this one though. Keep up your very good work *hugs*

"Video Killed the Radio Star" is perpetually on the money(and in my heart!)
