Your preferred news sources?

Besides the Quartering and upcoming Exclusively Games, that is!

For a lot of tech news I like Techspot: https://www.techspot.com

Unfortunately a lot of their gaming news is reposts of Kotaku (barf), but otherwise their first-party reporting is pretty good and tends to cover things that mainstream rags like PCWorld will miss.

The Register is also good and very snarky: https://www.theregister.co.uk

I watched a Gameranx video yesterday (most anticipated games of 2019 sort of thing). I have never heard someone say "frankly" so many times in a video. Honestly it could make a drinking game but you would be on the floor after 10 minutes.

I'm very undecided about Joe Rogan, I think he's good but he does sometimes throw his guests under the bus. Either by asking someone like Sargon of Akkad from nowhere "do you believe 911 was a conspiracy" to dissing Gavin McInnes recently after they had a great time talking in person. I recently searched for Art Bell and Joe Rogan on YouTube and was delighted to see they actually did an interview on Art's show.

I appreciate that Art Bell was hardly a paragon of virtue in terms of some of the things he did in his life, but he never threw his guests under the bus, apart from the times he knew someone was BSing him and he cut the interview short. He'd never slag anyone off on air though.

I try not to have a preferred and instead of a diverse lineup of sources. Try to stay away from the fanboys that will tell you the new exclusive game on the only platform they can afford is a 10/10, while at the same time, pretend games on other platforms don't exist.

YouTube, by a long shot. It's like the free market for news. Although I can sense YouTube "getting woke" over time, it gives me all the tools I need to find out what's going on in the world. It's the platform that allows me to assess the facts and formulate an opinion based on how individuals present themselves and what they have to say. People may have found a way to abuse Facebook to spread scary-looking headlines for quick clicks and ad revenue, but I find it pretty hard for honest people to fake videos of themselves being reasonable.

Itsagundam, sidalpha, worthabuy and yongyea for youtube, gematsu and nichegamer for websites.

I'm probably one of the few here who's not a fan of the Quartering (I just liked the concept of exclusivelygames) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Animusisters]

Pretty much Youtube and advertisments nowadays. The magazines I used to consumed turned into political agenda filled shitholes, so I stopped giving them money.

[TheMightyWyvern]

Mainly yongyea and a few other gaming youtube channels. I dont trust any gaming websites

[Broken Mirror]

I also go mostly for Tim when it comes to general news. I still also listen a lot to news channels on the radio as I travel a lot by car and don't want to listen to music for ~6h straight. I'm baffled every time by how much detail gets left out in the radio reporting.
I also browse Newsvoice from time to time.

But as this should be about gaming (these sites are mostly german)

Okay that 'if Jimi Hendrix had a gaming channel' line makes me laugh, because it's as offbeat but great as his guitar playing.

Like most people on here, I mostly watch YongYea for gaming news (reviews and discussions ). But I also watch Arch Warhammer, does he count? He covers RTS games, so there's that. I used to watch AlphaOmegaSin before he disappeared.

For tech news, I watch LinusTechTips & JayzTwoCents.

[James27]

I used to watch ReviewTechUSA, but I like him less and less over time, and unsubbed when I discovered YongYea.

[Nella_Bolt]

ItsaGundam is pretty good for gaming news, though lately he's been sticking to Bethesda news to make sure people realize how garbage of a company Bethesda is and has been for a long time.
