Ha, "journalists"

All I care about is this awesome TGN halloween theme!

You guys should be thankful I'm not reporting on any of this insanity going on this weekend concerning:

- Sony allegedly blocking video/audio capture on the PS4 for post-production work
- Journalists being absolutely livid on Twitter namely Adam Sessler (who seems to be considering leaving the industry entirely over this...) and Arthur Gies (possibly about... the PS4 capture thing? I honestly have no solid idea.)
- The whole... 720p vs. 1080p thing about how some (other) journalists claim there's no visible difference (bullshit).
- Ghosts running at 720p on XB1 vs 1080p on PS4 (well, I DID report on that one)
- BF4 running at 720p on XB1 vs... uh MAYBE running at 900p on PS4
- Kevin Dent posting a wall of text on NeoGAF that paints XB1 in a bright light and brings down Sony (see the first bullet point re video capture)
- People calling Kevin Dent out for being a massive XB1 fanboy and even outright refuting some of his claims (such as how dev kits for PS4 apparently cost $20K more than XB1 kits... even though it was already revealed that Sony is giving kits away to Indie studios (and maybe others) for free...
- People speculating that the journalists are livid because there is a move to provide copies of games to YouTube "celebs" instead of actual journalists (this has already been happening for a while though... sadly)
- People speculating that the journalists are livid because of something to do with Sony's event. Maybe tied to the YouTube celeb idea, maybe not. Maybe tied to video reviews being limited ONLY to footage Sony provides and that they won't be able to record their own. Maybe tied to the HDCP issue with recording from the PS4 for post-production? Who the hell knows.

My random thought today was "Do people really have nothing else to discuss except for Miley Cyrus' twerking and licking things?"

We werent discussing that until you brought it up.

Just saying
