Michael Chandra: So really the guy's own words strike me as "wah! How dare you disagree with me!" behaviour, which is the sort of childish attitude I am unfortunately not surprised by.10/20/2014 - 2:17pm

Michael Chandra: Correct AE, but then again the owner's own words are about "wishes", not about an order. No "we told him not to", but going against his wishes.10/20/2014 - 2:16pm

Matthew Wilson: yup. sadly that has been true for awhile.10/20/2014 - 2:10pm

E. Zachary Knight: It is honestly a shame that anyone has to publicly state they are against such vile behavior, but that is the sad life we live.10/20/2014 - 1:46pm

Andrew Eisen: Michael Chandra - Unless I overlooked it, we haven't seen how the directive to not talk about whatever he wasn't supposed to talk about was phrased so it’s hard to say if it could have been misconstrued as a suggestion or not.10/20/2014 - 12:35pm

Andrew Eisen: Hey, the second to last link is the relevant one! He actually did say "let them suffer." Although, he didn't say it to the other person he was bickering with.10/20/2014 - 12:29pm

Andrew Eisen: Neo_DrKefka - "Attacking"? Interesting choice of words. Also interesting that you quoted something that wasn't actually said. Leaving out a relevant link, are you?10/20/2014 - 11:04am

Neo_DrKefka: Anti-Gamergate supporter Robert Caruso attacks female GamerGate supporter by also attacking another cause she support which is the situation happening in Syia “LET SYRIANS SUFFER” https://archive.today/F14zZ https://archive.today/Wpz8S10/20/2014 - 10:18am

Neo_DrKefka: That is correct in an At-Will state you or the employer can part ways at any time. However Florida also has laws on the books about "Wrongful combinations against workers" http://www.flsenate.gov/Laws/Statutes/2012/448.04510/20/2014 - 10:07am

james_fudge: he'd die if he couldn't talk about Wii U :)10/20/2014 - 9:16am
|
Michael Chandra: By the way, I am not saying Andrew should stop talking about Wii-U. I find it quite nice. :)10/20/2014 - 8:53am
|
Michael Chandra: 'How dare he ignore my wishes and my advice! I am his boss! I could have ordered him but I should be able to say it's advice rather than ordering him directly!'10/20/2014 - 8:52am
|
Michael Chandra: If GP goes "EZK, do not talk about X publicly for a week, we're preparing a big article on it" and he still tweets about X, they'd have a legitimate reason to be pissed.10/20/2014 - 8:52am
|
Michael Chandra: If GP tells Andrew "we'd kinda prefer it if you stopped talking about Wii-U for 1 week" and he'd tweet about it anyway, firing him for it would be idiotic.10/20/2014 - 8:51am
|
Michael Chandra: Legal right, sure. But that doesn't make it any less pathetic of an excuse.10/20/2014 - 8:50am

ZippyDSMlee: You mean right to fire states.10/20/2014 - 8:50am

Always wondered what
Always wondered what happened to him. Was on UK tv quite a bit a number of years ago but then just disappeared.
Glad to see he's still as funny as he always was
This was awesome...
These rants were great. It made sense, even though it was clear there were some things he dissaproved in it.
(Captchas are annoying. Failed Tenth Time. Did this CAPTCHA get tested on any resolution higher than 1280x1024? It's absolutely impossible to read!)
This site
OMG I LOVE THIS NEW SITE
Dennis, thanks so much for this :)
Why the hell did this thing
He's a real funny guy.
Awesome
I've always been a loyal
I've always been a loyal Conan watcher, but his monolouges have always been epic fail while the rest of the show was hilarious. Craig might be getting a new viewer for his monologues.
Not bad
I'll make sure to watch this video when I get home...
Thought I'd just point out that the new site design is pretty good
I'm not sure which is better
I'm not sure which is better this or the very old San Andreas/legislative hearing thing from Jon Stewart.
'Don't they know how much porn is on the internet?'
vs.
'Many feel the M for mature rating is too vague and completely inaccurate in describing anyone who plays video games'
Close Call.
Do I have to...
no, you don't
@Chadachada123
there's a login link on the right side of the page. Your old GamePolitics account has been moved over
岩「…」
岩「…I can see why Hasselbeck's worried about fake guns killing fake people. afterall, she's a fake journalist on a fake news channel」
There is a way to sign up
(Unrelated, I know...) But,
Looking good!
Nice new site GP. Looks very professionnal!
New look's great.
'sup?
GTA IV
I like the shiny new GP, it
Huh...my name didn't show on
STYLISH NEW LOOK, EH?
Bonus points for the accent!
If there is ever an open floor day in Congress, would somebody please recommend that the two Congressmen sponsoring the Truth in Videogames Ratings bill watch this clip while being smacked in the face with a halibut.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go to the work
The fact he's a recovering addict is also quite inspirational.
I thought he was making a reference to how Dubya called it "The google."
"Old person" you say?....Bush...is an old person...
That's what TiVo is for.
Alright, old people and stupid people both do it.
I got this fun visual of him typing "The Grand Theft Auto" into Google though.
No shit. Part of why he's old is the result of all the things he has to do as President.
@Void
Cute.
Cigarettes: Get someone else to buy them or steal them from their parents.
Alcohol: Steal it from their parents' liquor cabinet
Games: Use fake IDs or get their dumbass parents to buy it for them since they'll ignore the ESRB rating
"... I noticed he was doing the old person thing of putting “the” in front of things that should not have them, “The Google”, “The Grand Theft Auto”, “The video games”, etc."
I'm pretty sure that was intentional.
"Use fake IDs or get their dumbass parents to buy it for them since they’ll ignore the ESRB rating "
If I ignore the ESRB rating when buying a mature-themed game for my daughter why does that make me a dumbass? What if I just don't buy the notion that pixellated violence on a TV screen turns my daughter into a psychopath?
The dumbasses are those who want the ESRB warning but who don't pay attention to it when buying their kids games, and who later ask angrily for their money back (as if it's the salesperson's fault) when they realise the game they bought for their kid is GTA IV.
I'm pretty sure that's what Ken meant.
