Even if Jim really is playing a character in his "jimquisitions", I still think he acts really pretentious for an ex-games journalist. I assume he left The Escapist a year or so ago because he knew it was a sinking ship and only Yahtzee's keeping it afloat, he'd be better off putting that website out of its misery already. Anyways, yes he does have some points on how lovely and corrupt publishers and the industry handles their games and treats their customers, but he keeps acting like a twat about it. In other news, I heard VoidBurger was getting doxxed for some reason...and she's blocked anyone from seeing her tweets. Does anyone know what's going on here? (I found some 4chan post where someone from /v/ (I'm just guessing here) now hates Void, Chip, Kamoc, Geop, etc. because of something to do with gamergate probably, but that's old now.)

Waffleman_ posted:Weird people were stalking her tweets and making weird theories about it. There's also a big conspiracy theory that she's "corrupted" Chip somehow, and blaming her for a big gap in Uncharted 4 updates. How she did it they don't say. I'm guessing CheezBurger wasn't working out for them. Also is the Uncharted 4 LP still going?

General Ironicus posted:It wrapped up a while back. There will be a bonus video for unlockables and stuff, but Chip's day job ramped up a bunch right after he became the only video editor at his company. why can't they just hire more staff? or just make saints row V already?

turn off the TV posted:It's because VoidBurger is a got danged SJW who ruined Let's Plays on SA by not voting for Donald Trump. The only rational course of action was to start stalking and doxxing her and pretty much anyone else who expressed a vague dislike for Trump in any way. That is pretty weird, I get that she doesn't dig Trump but she's not like an extremist about it or anything (I hope).

Garrand posted:She's a somewhat outspoken leftish feminist with a small following, but more importantly she's a woman who makes videos about video games on the internet. So... I guess you can't have everything, there needs to be some flaws here and there. As long as she's not Sarkeesian/Quinn/Wu bad, she's somewhat tolerable.

MillennialVulcan posted:Sarkeesian and Quinn are extremely good tho. Yeah, they did a pretty good job at tricking the media into thinking they're victims for problems they roped themselves into. Sarkeesian pretending there's a problem with female game characters and Quinn for coaxing journalists to play her game even though no-one wanted to.

turn off the TV posted:How dare a woman say that she doesn't like lovely portrayals of women in video games. Just sickening. She deserves everything she gets for such a heinous crime. It was a double-edged sword with Sarkessian. The mockery of her thinking female game characters weren't "strong and independent enough" were fine and dandy but the death threats were definitely unnecessary, that ordeal didn't need to go that far. But then again the mockery also gave her more unneeded attention and she used it to her advantage when she discussed gamergate and misogyny online with the masses. Everything about Quinn has already been brought up, she made a bunch of dumb flash games, then some text adventure game no one really cared about, and instead of just making more games and improving her skills like any other game dev, she proceeds to force some guy into reviewing it...among other things. I won't even bring up the helldump.

Okay I'll change the subject, so Yahtzee's a bit of a oval office, right? actually no, he's a total oval office.

Dabir posted:JJ's just lazily throwing criticism at people he thinks will make us get mad and defend them. no I just think he's a pretentious poo poo and the fact that he's still with the escapist makes him more of a laughing stock. whether you like him or not is entirely up to you, I'm not here to judge.
