If it's not relevant or important enough to fit in a journal, put it up on a blog, since gaming blogs seem to be considered legitimate sources.

Anyone can create a website or pay to have a book published, then claim to be an expert in a certain field. For that reason self-published media—including but not limited to books, newsletters, personal websites, open wikis, personal or group blogs, Internet forum postings, and tweets—are largely not acceptable.
When Wikipedia cites a gaming blog without having the citation pulled for lack of reliability, it's usually a major, ad-supported gaming blog such as Kotaku or 1UP. I imagine that several of these major gaming blogs would lose many of their advertisers, such as the console makers, if they were to start routinely running stories about breakthroughs from the homebrew scene that paint homebrewers in anything but a negative "homebrew == piracy" light.
