That's not what drove the conversation, though. It doesn't matter if this is a site we all love or all hate. The way they handled the situation made no sense, not to mention it's completely inconsistent with anything they'd done before.

I know but if you hate it, it makes it more fun for us (the listeners).

Polygon and Geis seem to be taking the Howard Stern approach to getting clicks. Remember the old line about the haters of Stern used to spend more time listening to see what he'll say next?

I've never actually been to polygon, since I never took it seriously after that scandal about their documentary, but lately people just cant stop talking about them. Probably exactly what they wanted. For the record, I don't boycott polygon or anything like that, I just don't care. All the gaming news i'll ever need is on gaf already anyways.



And foul on you all for not mentioning Crash Team Racing in the tweet about best racing games!

I don't find anything particularly bad about Polygon. It seems to be pretty standard for almost every major video game website.

But Polygon does have some excellent features articles that I would say is real journalism. I don't care for reviews so... eh.

For sure. They publish some great free lance articles. Ron Zacny has had some great features on the site.

That little tweet stream is an utter delight, considering how many times that toolsack talks about secrets that "inside sources" have told him.

I think once you're a public figure and especially a "journalist," you gain a measure of trustworthiness by proving you're able to admit when you're not right.

Unfortunately when your starting point is that people who disagree "literally don't know what [they're] talking about" that might be a bit harder to do.

But of all the things to stubbornly cling to...

It's pretty hilarious that he backed himself into this corner.

CJ's out of town and Sewart's sick, sadly.

Although I would be perfectly willing to crack wise while Mike complains about websites/podcasts that he doesn't like.

Jesus Christ incompetent twists at Maxis didn't even miss a full week with Sim City.

Pathetic. Will not support inevitable kick starter

I'm bothered that this man has this job when there must be thousands of more qualified, more reasonable people dying to get into covering video games and can't because he's filling a slot.

Sorry y'all. Got diagnosed with pneumonia a couple nights ago and want to see if I can mostly kick it before it's time to head to PAX.

I'd prefer not, simply because I want Phil to write for Polygon at some point. And IGN. It'd be doing the world a favour.
