2017 has been A Year and that’s an understatement. Remember 2016 and we were all ‘ha ha at least 2017 can’t be as bad’. How young and foolish we were!

There’s been a lot of video game news too, so here’s the top 10 News articles we did this year, ranked by popularity, and let’s look back over the year and remember some of the newsy things that happened. GO TEAM NEWS!

Oh hell, another PewDiePie news story in the top 10, and again it’s about racist language? Is it too late for me to change my name and move to Aruba?

Well you guys clicked on it a whole heck of a bunch of times, making it #1 in our Most Clicked On News Items From 2017 List (note to self, think of a better name for this feature).
That was 2017! Here’s onto 2018, when hopefully we’ll have fewer PewDiePie news pieces up so I can sleep easier!
