A Quick Question or Three
August 29th, 2007 -- by Augie De Blieck Jr.
A quick question for the gaming geeks around here:
If you’re more of a tech geek, then here’s one for you:
And to the comic geeks:
Comic Book Resources or The Pulse?
(Yes, there is a correct answer to that last one.)

The Pulse? Never heard of it.

Comic Book Resources over the Pulse. By far. But Newsarama over CBR in general.

Joystiq, Engadget and CBR. Heard of the Pulse, may have read it once.

I used to read Pulse way back when, but abandoned it maybe 1.5 or 2 years ago due to lack of updates and any meaningful content. I only really check Newsarama mostly now, although I do go to CBR for Augie, Steven Grant, and Rich Johnston’s columns.

Read both the Pulse and CBR and definately pick CBR. I feel the interviews are more in-depth and the commentaries are excellent. A great look at the industry on the whole, not just the news. Additionally, the format of CBR is better than the Pulse. The Pulse seems busy with a very harsh background coloring that can be distracting.

I read both Joystiq and Kotaku, but if I had to pick one I’d go with the latter.
But really, both are worth reading.

CBR FTW

Joystiq over Kotaku, based on which page I view first.
CBR by a huge margin over The Pulse (but don’t ask about Newsarama)
No preference in electronics sites.

Kotaku and Joystiq I like equally…But if I had to give an edge, it’d be Kotaku.
And c’mon. CBR hands down…..even though I haven’t been there in over half a year. And what’s funny is that’s where I discovered Augie but I’ve never dwelled into his columns there.

I don’t typically read Kotaku or Joystiq very often, but when I do, I tend to enjoy Joystiq better.
When it comes to tech stuff, I definitely go with Egadget. Tried to get into Gizmodo, but just couldn’t for some reason.
For my comics fix, I go with CBR (where I discovered Augie and V&S) over The Pulse. I used to read The Pulse, but their content died down a lot and I lost interest. As others have mentioned though, I tend to frequent Newsarama the most. (But that wasn’t a choise, so I’ll say CBR)

Not a gamer so I can’t answer the first question.
Endgadget.
CBR - that’s an obvious one from me, eh?

Even though, I’m more of a graphic novel guy these days, for me, it’s Newsarama then CBR.
August 30th, 2007 at 10:16 am
CBR over the Pulse, esp. since Heidi McDonald is now at the Beat. I still check Newsarama the most though, since it’s updated more.
August 30th, 2007 at 2:15 pm
CBR over everything. ;)

George FTW!
And I’m as baffled by the video game pick as anyone. I wind up reading both, though defaulting to Joystiq if I run out of time. That’s odd, as I’m entertained by Kotaku’s attitude more.
Special thanks to everyone for making the right choice in the comics web! Next time, maybe I’ll make the choice a little harder. heh

I like Kotaku more than Joystiq from a journalistic standpoint, but I think people gravitate towards joystiq because, quite frankly, their webpage is easier on the eyes.
