I'll stick with Dualshockers, they're better than any of those waste-of-space clickbaits.

Huber will tweet that he'll be a voiced NPC in Shenmue 3 as an easter egg... Seriously, imagine if Yu found no other way to include a forklift other than putting Huber in one? :P

I occasionally browse certain sites but I mainly get my gaming news from Twitter now. Almost every dev/publisher is on there and announcements get posted there first 90% of the time.

Must be something significant. Hope they're all getting back together to start afresh with their own news site. With things like Patreon and stuff they can hopefully get back to how they were with support from their fans :)

The guys are back, and now under the new name Easy Allies. At the moment its a fully fan funded concept through Patreon, but i have no doubts sponsorships will come into play soon enough when they see the numbers they already have. Links are below, and there will be a 12 hour livestream launch party starting at 12 noon PDT.

Glad to see that the GameTrailers team bounced back to quickly. At the time of this post the Easy Allies Patreon has surpassed $12,000, already making it one of the most successful Patreons ever and the pledges are still climbing.

I plan to pledge towards this Patreon soon. It's just that I'm already pledging towards the Classic Game Room Patreon. I need to figure out how much I can pledge a month to both Patreons before I set an amount.

Why would anyone dealing in video games want to be known as EA for short?
