Recently, I had the displeasure of subjecting myself to the most nauseating load of bullsh** ever posted on YouTube. It was a video clip of the upcoming PS3 exclusive, Metal Gear Solid 4, with a dubbed in audio clip from Screwattack's radio show in which the hosts brazenly stated without any source that the this game was coming to the 360. I don't know what's more frightening; the fact that these idiots used Screwattack's influence as a somewhat relevant gaming media figure to make these absurd claims without any evidence, or that their audience was stupid enough to believe it and go so far as to post a video with that audio clip on YouTube.
Admittedly, I wasn't fond of Screwattack even before seeing this. Especially after that "Top Ten" list of PS3 exclusives which omitted Uncharted and Folklore (admittedly that one received mixed reviews, but IGN gave it high marks and I trust them more than anyone else) and falsely stated that Virtua Fighter 5 was a 360 exclusive. On top of that, the fact that the highest selling next-gen console has reached no higher than 20 million sales as opposed to the PS2's 100 million sales shows that the vast majority of gamers have not chosen a next-gen console, yet. Why is that relevant? Because until these gamers choose a console, none of these consoles are anywhere near the end of their life cycle, rendering any "Top Ten" list meaningless.
I personally think these two incidents are indicative of Screwattack's malignant fanboyism and positive confirmation of their utter lack of credibility. Well, that and the crappy retro games they promote. Anyway, if any of you are feeling brave enough, a link to the video that incited this rant is posted below. If any of you manage to sit through all 46 seconds without getting sick, you've got a one-up on me.
