Regular readers may recall my complaints about Gamers.com and their opinion filled "news" story about the Karaoke Revolution songlist. Imagine my surprise when, sorting through my IE bookmarks this evening, I found these notes inserted into the article copy:
At the beginning of the article: [Note: The following employs the royal "we," and is also not meant to be taken even remotely seriously, although that is the real Karaoke Revolution song list. Please adjust your perceptive filters accordingly.]
At the end of the article: [Further Note: The author really doesn't give a damn either way, but simply enjoys an excuse to say "Rip Slyme." We now return you to your regularly-scheduled semi-objective videogame news.]
I'm not sure how long these notes have been up or whether they were even in response to my opinions (I have my suspicions), but I welcome them regardless. While I still think this article didn't belong in the news section, the notes at least prepare the readers for the breach in "semi-objectivity" they're about to read. If anyone from Gamers.com wants to fill me in on the circumstances that led to the posting of these notes, I'd be happy to hear it.
