Yes, there are more than a few things that Drax does not understand about HardOCP and the industry in general. If all of this existed in a vacuum, would could do everything perfect, but the fact is that it does not.
FNW sold us a computer to play BF2, after a week on the phone with their tech support (which I can argue would have been several weeks for a normal person) the machine still did not do what FNW said it would do. Chris decided to terminate the consumer experience at that point and try to figure out real answers. We will look at this next time before calling it quits.
As for opinions and "bias," that is exactly what we are in the business of publishing. We cover some things in a very subjective manner, and we do that on purpose in order to see things on a consumer-centric level. If you want "objective" testing that gives no analysis or thought process behind it, I highly suggest you do not read HardOCP. You are looking for a site that will run 3dMark, SiSoft Sandra, and SuperPi and declare a winner. Firingsquad is famous for giving you pages and pages of benchmarks graphs with no analysis, I would suggest you maybe start there if you are looking for content void of opinion.
