I, like many people at this time of year, am currently spending time with my family. Obviously, as I have a mild addiction problem with the internet I’m on my laptop a fair amount of the time. I’m always wanting to keep myself up to date as well as being on the lookout for news relevant to your interest.
All on this means I am frequently checking out numerous blogs from my laptop, with family members of all ages walking around and often inquiring as to what I’m doing. When I load up, for example, The ‘Tak and right there on the front page -on a page a family member sees me looking at- is “Konami Game Inspires Schoolgirl Massage Parlor”; or a cleavage shot from a new screen of Borderlands; or “Erotic Game Comments On Erotic Game Controversy”; or a scantly clad Anime figurine; or a cleavage shot from Dante’s Inferno; or a comparison article of arses, I’m going to feel like a tit.

Whenever a big game or controversy hits, some sites seem to post far too much about it. I know I’ve unsubscribed from blogs where they have written annoyingly more than I thought was necessary about one particular subject. As such, I should have predicted how some NG readers would likely not be too pleased with today’s unusual quantity of MW2 posts.
After a tweet from one of our readers pointing out that today we’ve (almost accidentally) posted far too much about that game, I have made a filter. If you want to view Negative Gamer, but don’t care for warfare that is modern, add ?not=MW2 to the end of the URL, like this; http://negativegamer.com/?not=MW2 and it should be filtered out.
Being able to filter any old thing out of the front page isn’t going to become a regular addition to the site, but it will probably become a feature that’s used whenever stuff like this happens (massive and annoying controversy, hyped game launch .etc). Let me know if it breaks or if there’s anything else you really want filtered out.
