zomg? good game? wtf?

Dunno if any of you kids watch Good Game (but you should have been, because it was awesome.) Anyway, last week they replaced one of the hosts and since then the internet hate machine has been churning like crazy.

So I've been watching this bubbling away on forums and facebook and all over the place, and its blowing up bigger and bigger. Lo and behold, The Age chimes in today.

For the record, I don't think its necessarily "gender bias" behind this, but it does look like the show is deliberately attempting to attract a wider, perhaps less hardcore gamer audience.

I think its past the point where Junglist can go back to working on the show, as there's been a fair bit of argy bargy in the forums (an entertaining read if you have the time.) Nonetheless, I always found his reviewing to be fantastic, the guy clearly has deep knowledge and love for gaming. The new host has massive shoes to fill, and I'm not sure if I can be bothered watching to see if she's up to the task (last weeks episode was a little meh...)
