I remember when one of my roommates was first getting into TAZ, he asked if they did anything else besides MBMBaM. I said Justin and Griffin did stuff for Polygon, and he grimaced and groaned at that. And he wasn't even a GamerGater. Once I got him to watch Monster Factory and Car Boys, he's been a bit more positive about Polygon, but he still doesn't do much that doesn't involve Griffin.Zeeman posted:Yeah, that was him, although now that I've looked, it was back in his Joystiq days. Aw, dang. I'm at work. Has any of Russ' training ostensibly paid off?

The only thing better than Polygon figuring their niche out in weird games journalism is Nintendo fully leaning into their own rep.

Not a fan of the current setup so far... EDIT: Okay I'm back on board. Since they turned off all weapons, all the remaining players (including Griffin currently) are participating in a Demolition Derby inside the final circle EDIT2: He won! Great Job Griffin. timp fucked around with this message at 20:54 on Jun 27, 2017 |

mikeycp posted:Second place team right here. lol the Polygon team just ended a game with 60/100 players still in it because they all died. They did talk it out and reason whether they should or not, and even polled the chat for input. It's probably the right move but it was still funny to listen to them do it. Fake edit: and nvm anyways because it looks like that game keeps going even though the creator exited the game, so they get to keep playing after all!

sexpig by night posted:Also there was the Microsoft money drama at the very start of them when because they didn't stomp an Xbone on camera while shouting "gently caress THIS poo poo, gently caress THIS poo poo, gently caress THIS poo poo" that clearly meant they were in Big Microsoft's pocket despite constantly having similar reviews as everyone else did. they got rightfully mocked for doing an xbone launch stream where they poo poo completely on it and said to buy a ps4, then put up 2 review scores for the launches of both consoles and had the xbone have a higher score. also people were mocking polygon before it was even officially open because of the cringe worthy "making polygon" videos they released. e: they also hired the dude who used to write for penny arcade, who in defense of dick wolves said rape is funny.

That's Ben Kuchera, right? He's definitely said some objectionable stuff online. Can't say that I've ever read/watched any of his stuff on Polygon.

There was actually a frontpage article mocking Ben Kuchera, he was that obnoxious. I'm trying to remember what exactly pissed me off about Arthur Gies but now when you google it you just get gamergate poo poo. It seems like everyone who gets in front of a camera these days at Polygon is alright though so it's all good.

Last night I had a dream that Justin McElroy streamed a video of his aquarium. He had a bunch of tadpoles he was raising and a single big fish named Foot who really did kind of resemble a foot. Justin would talk about his tadpoles a bit and then Foot would swallow one of them, and Justin would chastise Foot and just sort of scoop the tadpole out of its mouth with his finger while explaining, "he always barfs them out again but they probably don't like being swallowed." This happened several times. Anyway I woke up unsure of whether that was derived from an actual obscure McElroy goof I had heard somewhere, and I had to ask my husband (who replied with "it's 6am" followed shortly by a thunderous snore).

Gies was the reason I had to drop Idle Thumbs. He always come across as wholly unpleasant and outright annoyed by the other people on the podcast. Him stopping a conversation that the other hosts were having mid sentence and scolding them for using some term wrong or the other was enough for me to bail.
