Corruption In Games Journalism, or "Five Guys Burgers and Fries"

Attention! We've reached Memecon 2! The usual "Hitler reacts" resub of the rage clip from "Der Untergang" (Der Führer as anti-GG):

Other tidbits...

Here's an excellent article from TechCrunch. If someone you know is curious/confused about this, it's a good recommendation.

And here's a post from Jonathan McIntosh, Anita Sarkeesian's boyfriend/producer/writer:

I love video games with no control whatsoever. I think they call them "movies".

That sounds suspiciously like you do not watch films with selectable angles.

Pft, casual. Movies are rigidly controlled, there is no deviation from a set script. If you want entertainment with genuinely no control, watch a live feed of one of these guys:

I'm pretty sure they called "porno".

Like most aspects of technology you will find "porn" was the thing to really exploit it first. Not only can you have selectable angles but you have DVDs where you can choose the order of events, skip whole sections, have mixes with multiple audio tracks and have sections repeat a few times/for as long as you need.

It's obviously controlled by flow of air, which in turn is controlled by a fan or pump. Wake up, sheeple!

So not only do you not do multiangle you are unfamiliar with Brownian motion...

Brownian? I support PoC.

Air turbulence is chaotic, you layman

Ah, so that's how you spell his name.
I've heard his and sarkarian's name keeps popping up when they are checking connections etc.
In the lazy Thursday stream they were also talking about finding indications of money laundering....


I was also wondering about why "ZQ" would use a fake name... perhaps to cut links to herself if she would be arrested for something? as the name in the records would not be ZQ

Nah, I don't think there is a sinister reason.

Some indie devs just believe they also need to be hipsters, thus taking on a hipster name (also see Philippe Poisson -> Phil Fish).

btw: compare the NIC/whois entry for the domains beesgo.biz and quinnspiracy.com and spot the differences.

 

[DCG]

Although I think the guy is a jackass, his name actually makes sense :/

Poisson is fish in French and I can imagine lots of people used to call him just Phil instead of Philippe.

But ZQ is nothing like her real name :s
Or the other name she used for the "porn" pics (which look like crap btw.)

I'll look the whois up in a moment

You don't translate proper nouns, this includes last names.

You think game devs are not worthy of having pen names, even if this is more like a porn name... poor form.

They can have pen names, sure. His is painfully unoriginal, but what can you do. I was merely underlining that you generally don't translate last names.

Originality in game devs... are you expecting superhumans now?

Depends on the devs in question. Anywho, Phil Fish or Philippe Poisson, however you'd like to call him, is a duchebag I have zero interest in and I'm glad that he removed himself from the spotlight - he did the world a favour. Gamers will now remember him for two good deeds - making Fez and disappearing.
