Thyroid Posted October 12, 2009 The IGN thread went from hilarious to somewhat depressing today afterI realised how badly written some of the very popular websites are. So this is the Good Writing Thread , where you post anything that is well-written, preferrably actually saying something intelligent and/or useful. Humour would be a big bonus. The only website I can think of that fits that is Old Man Murray. Their Start to Crate, first of many Roberta Williams articles, America Under Attack (9/11) and America Wins the War are all examples of why the website is so highly thought of. What do you know/suggest? Link anything good you come across as well. (PS: Although this isn't what I'm suggesting in the thread, I did come across some amusing trolling yesterday.)

ThunderPeel2001 Posted October 12, 2009 Richard Cobbet's blog is usually a good place for Video game musings (although it's not always about video games). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrHoatzin Posted October 12, 2009 Are we talking internet writing in general, or writing about games on the internet specifically? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrHoatzin Posted October 12, 2009 I don't really read much about games (save this site, shack, gamasutra), but I would like to nominate wonkette.com as an example of good internet writing. It is very much internet, and it is very much good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Action Shakespeare Posted October 12, 2009 This may be a bit biased...but my brother's stuff on IGN is probably the best on there (not saying much these days). He mainly gets small jobs so he really just does what he can with them. The result is generally pretty hilarious.

Lu Posted October 12, 2009 I like Leigh Alexander's stuff. I read it from time to time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vimes Posted October 13, 2009 I'm not really a connoiseur of game related litterature, but Hit Self Destruct was the best thing that I was ever given to read on the interweb : it had great content, a personal yet refined angle, a semi self conscious style and managed to covered a whole bunch of genre without getting lost in its aesthetic. It featured rants, analysis, fictions, allegories and, except for ealier articles and exceptions here and there; everything's awesome and worth reading.
