  1. I'm not gonna lie, It's a little hard to sit through that first seven minutes of nothing but self promotion. I want you guys to do well, But it might be worth Taking some time to see if we can skinny that down a bit

  2. Saying these people are the way they are is because they went through something bad in their life is not accurate in my opinion. Many people experience horrible things in their lives and do not act like THESE people. They are making the conscious choice to be the way they are. Do and say the things that they do. You have a choice in being who you want to be. They can believe what they want but they have a choice in how they want to behave. Contacting someone's spouse to attack their marriage because they are angered by what the person said is a choice. Simple as that with the exception of mental derangement or defect.

  3. after yesterdays episode I watched many a compilation of Norm Macdonald's OJ Simpson jokes. I was born after the OJ trial, but man were the jokes still funny!

  4. You know, made a decision long ago that I would not reveal the name of the trucking company I drive for in a video, ever. That also applies to many other personal details. This lunatic from kotaku is exactly the type of person that decision was based on. There aren't really all that many, but if I ever set one off, I don't want those around me taking flak because of it. If I ever did something like what she's done, they'd fire me instantly.

  5. Honestly, you should stop talking about the kotaku person. Clearly all she's looking for is attention. She is an unhinged, narcissistic lunatic that feeds on this kind of bs. Ignoring her is the best thing anyone can do. She would become irrelevant in 10 minutes if we do…

  6. I don't get Nintendo, why have a fake cartridge? They did the same BS thing with the Fire emblem anniversary translation just a fake cartrage not even a switch cart just a BS DL code. If they actually made new functional NES cartridges it would print money instead you have to buy romhacks from Chinese bootleggers or new indie titles. Don't get me wrong i Looove micromages but it would be epic to be able to buy a legit new copy of Zelda with map and manual and maybe some extra content.

  7. What unhinged, psychotic behaviour and people. I am still amazed that this Alissa still has a job. Shouldn't she also be banned from X by now with her evident mental issues?

    This is getting both ridiculous and tiresome with these woke freaks. Keep on informing, keep on holding them accountable for their actions. They are losing.

  8. Craig’s Psych analysis on Alyssa is wrong, the reason for the way she is I’m confident is because she was raised very well, probably had wealthy parents, had her college tuition covered & while there was trained to think & operate as an activist, she was never told no growing up. Alyssa is just a very spoiled & entitled person & I’m sure because no one ever told her no, in her mind she believes everything she says & does is what’s right.

  9. Craig is far too generous with his assumptions.

    These people are EVIL.

    And I mean that in the traditional sense.

    She tried to ruin a man’s marriage because he retweeted someone she doesn’t like.

    Then framed him as being in full support of the man in question, after he removed said retweet.

    She’s probably narcissistic, and borderline psychotic

  10. The level of false entitlement in the games industry is wild to me. From these so called journalists to these Devs that don't deliver products believing they should be supported as "artists."
    Keep up the great work Craig and Blabs!

  11. The problem with Video game bloggers is two-fold (maybe even three-fold).

    1. Is a problem that was at the center of GamerGate 1.0: Friends in the industry (and other types of relationships), but also the need for access.They have to retain certain kinds of relationships in order to get their early/review copies. They also sometimes get free gifts and flown out to events and parties, which they also don't want to lose.
    2. Is as Arch said. The problem is activism and a sense of superiority.
    3. Is money. Their sites run ads. If they write inflammatory articles, they can bait people into reading them, which earns the site money. This is made worse since they can make money directly by making inflammatory tweets that bait people into responding.

    All three of these are true all the time. Maybe not always to the same degrees, but always true nonetheless.

  12. Feelings don't matter. Facts do. And the fact is that there's a lot more of these moral busybodies in the entertainment industry. Walt Disney himself testified on how they're infiltrating, but it was swept under the rug and lumped him in with the funny moustache man.

  13. It will be hilarious to see all the evil people in the Star Wars universe somehow knowing but also respecting the non-binary Jedi's pronouns LOL. What are we even doing anymore

    Reply
  14. No. No the reason they dont like Stellar Blade is because it appeals to straight white male gamers.

    Who they perceive to be the Bourgeois class.

    Remember all of these people have socialism at their core.

    They are driven by class hatred.

    Communism isnt about making sure the poor can afford food.
    Its about tearing down the rich.

    The praxis of their beliefs is to shame male gamers.

    Mentiswave did a very eye opening video called. "Woke Puritanism"
