I get the vast majority of my gaming news from Destructoid. It's updated frequently throughout the day and it's just more news-oriented than here. Much as I love the Escapist, it's much more about the features and videos than news for me.

I sometimes go to Kotaku when I can be arsed to put up with the ridiculous layout.
Speaking of which, da fuq just happened to Escapist?

making such generalized swoops of the OP is not acceptable!
swooping is bad.
OT: I would agree with Daystar however, I get 99% of my news from the escapist, and the occasional tid bit from g-mail (there is a little news bar above the emails that changes with each refresh, sometimes it catches my eye)
Yea. I get the feeling that if it's important, it'll end up here. Plus I get a bunch of other weird news and funny videos.teqrevisited said:
Sometimes it bights me in the ass I guess. I don't remember hearing that the Broderlands 2 premium pre-orders had started and I missed out on the Loot Chest Edition but that's not exactly a big loss or anything. I guess if I also paid attention to some other sites, I would've known but other sites don't have Zero Punctuation, Miracle of Sound, and Jimquisition videos.
I do occasionally catch an episode of XPlay so I guess my answer to the poll would be G4.
I get them most of the time from Escapist, but sometimes i get some from /v/, or my friend who knows pretty much everything related to gaming. ^-^
Uhm, yeah, same here... The Escapist keeps me updated, sources are cited and I like the community, so I rarely bother checking other sites for my gaming news.Daystar Clarion said:
Gamesradar, because of their brilliant now extinct podcast Talkradar. The features they ran were really funny and ballsy, alas most of the original editors are gone. The site is not as funny now, I visit out of solidarity for the fallen writers.

When I find a community I like, I tend to latch on and ignore all of the other options. That being said, I sometimes find my way to other sites, though not all that often, and usually it's just a random article.
To be honest, I really don't need another site. It usually get's posted on these forums, or an article ends up on the main site anyways, so there's no real need to check them.

Destructoid and Joystiq mainly. I do sometimes visit Giantbomb every now and then, I like their quick looks.
If there is something about a game that I want to find out about, I go to youtube and see if there are any videos concerning the game (release dates, previews, interviews, reviews, etc.).
