The Game Rag, Making With The Funny

gamerag.jpg Kyle Orland over at Video Game Media Watch has posted an interview with game humor site owner Nathan Smart, who has just started a satirical website named The Game Rag, which features stories such as 'SpikeTV Awards Xbox 360 With Lifetime Achievement Award', or even 'Gamestop, EB Games Merge, Employees Doubly Stupid'.

As well as talking about how he comes up with articles, Nathan comments a little on the state of video game journalism, making some intriguing comments: "I don’t think the bigger sites cover the culture of gaming enough. 1UP does a really good job of it, I think, with their features and the community they have set up there (minus the freakin’ clutter of information - I swear, I’ve NEVER needed that much info on one page). IGN, on the other hand, is all business."
