Oh yeah, XboxPants is definitely the kind of guy that I trust to find information and report it to me accurately. Where is the Ouya office, again??

Well don't worry too much, it's not like there will be any Ouya news after the first week. "IMPORTANT OUYA UPDATE: I turned mine on for the first time in months!"

Thrill Kill wasn't rated AO, it just got shitcanned two weeks from release when Virgin Interactive got bought out.

Manhunt 2 was originally rated AO, and that was decent.

Thrill Kill wasn't AO? Huh, thats something new I've learned today.

No, this doesn't make him a shill. It just means he's used his weird Ouya obsession to get a position with some Ouya news site.

I will loving die laughing if that is the case. And then I will die laughing again when Xboxpants comes along to explain how, since they've now edited any claims that the case will be metal out of the kickstarter page, they only promised a case that looks metal, it was going to be poo poo plastic all along.

Isn't this just the natural conclusion of the BOOYA obsessed shill(or any obsessed shill, really)? Make some crappy news site, spam your links everywhere and whatnot? The kickstarter is just the icing on the cake.

So based on the last ten pages, when the ship date comes, I'm expecting something like Weekend at Leon Budd's.


Where XboxPants tries to justify that everything works and there's at least one truly fun game when everything is pure poo poo and newgrounds quality, and the store doesn't work properly half the time.

LEON BUDD is DOA and they will not be able to build their way up from that.

You're pretty naive and dumb if you're even remotely surprised that xboxpants is a shill. This is a very heavily trafficked forum which even has a built in audience/membership of game designers and has a lot of crossover with other big gaming nexuses and fifteen bucks (plus avatar) isn't even worth writing down on the balance sheet of a PR budget and if you're a CM trying to stir the pot you're really kind of dumb for not maintaining an account here.


It's just that other shills on SA have a little more grace, a little more subtlety, a little more brains and savvy, maybe they even ask the mods to shill openly and maybe the mods even oblige them, whatever. On a forum this big you're going to get shills. Xboxpants isn't worth mocking for being a shill. He's worth mocking for being really really stupid and bad at his job which is also a terrible job and he should probably find slightly more honest work that gives something back to the community like selling drugs.

Or you know, you could be someone really awesome like AmazonTony. Sure, he shows off more sales (which means Amazon gets more money from us) but he actually communicates with us on a professional level and relays questions to the relevant people behind certain sales.

I can't be the only one who thinks XboxPants isn't a shill, but just someone overly invested in this stupid console (and maybe a bit autistic)? From the past thread and this thread it's been blatantly obvious that the OUYA is a horrible idea and exists to be mocked. I don't think anything XboxPants has ever posted has ever won over any customers. If he was some kind of shill for some company, then I think someone would have told him to shut up by now because all he does is make the OUYA more laugh-worthy.

I looked this up because it was interesting. The version of thrill kill showed to the ESRB got an AO rating as far as I can tell, but was then cancelled for financial reasons. The engine was reused to make the WU-Tang fighting game, which I think came with the best controller ever.

Perfect example, yeah! Shilling is not necessarily a bad thing when it's done right. You reminded me just now I have some Amazon gift card cash, and AmazonTony will probably help liberate some of it from my account. There's a shill that Does A Job of Work.

This is what makes Xboxpants the most perfect shill possible for Ouya whether he is paid or not. He is the very personification of the product.

I seriously remember it getting advertised as an M. PSM even had a full review and moves list the issue when it was supposed to come out.

Could have been a combination of both though honestly if the ESRB re-classified it, new publisher and an upped rating right at the end totally explains why it was axed so close to coming out. It's really easy to find the final release copy now though and it wasn't very good anyway.
