j1mmy's Journal: why so many games stories?

thanks to the new inline story display, we get to see every story that gets posted on the site, not just the front-page stuff. what amazed me is the sheer volume of articles in the games section.

8 of the 21 stories listed on the front page (as of right now) are games articles. science comes in second with 4 articles. my experience over the last week has been that many of the articles are in the game section.

why is the games section so prolific compared to the others? does zonk have a lower bar for story acceptance? do more game stories get submitted? what's the deal?
