Andrew Eisen: Which I find to be (in most cases) extraordinarily petty.10/19/2014 - 2:34pm

Matthew Wilson: I get the joke andrew. In the social media age, if you say somthing stupid people will take it out on the company you work for.10/19/2014 - 2:30pm

Papa Midnight: It's Gawker. I'm not sure his comments can really do much to lower whatever modicum of perceived crediiblity that network of sites may have.10/19/2014 - 2:27pm

Andrew Eisen: Nintendo is better than Sony, Microsoft and sliced bread. Andrew Eisen is an exceedingly handsome man. Sugarboog is best Pony. These are now the official stances of the ECA!10/19/2014 - 2:24pm

Andrew Eisen: The rest, including a joke about how his wife left him over this, can be found on his feed with minimal scrolling. https://twitter.com/samfbiddle10/19/2014 - 2:16pm

Andrew Eisen: For what it's worth, Biddle tweeted a few apologies. Here's one: https://twitter.com/samfbiddle/status/52324627795005849610/19/2014 - 2:15pm

Matthew Wilson: http://imgur.com/XzpWeWw here is the twiter exchange in question.10/19/2014 - 1:39pm

Matthew Wilson: its the twiter exchange I linked too a few days ago.10/19/2014 - 1:29pm

Andrew Eisen: That link doesn't work. Browsed the Twitter feed but couldn't find anything. Did find someone claiming a Gawker writer advocated bullying but didn't say who or where.10/19/2014 - 1:05pm

Neo_DrKefka: Gawker loses advertiser MERCED ES https://mobile .twitter.com/TheRalphRetort/status/522813815260733441/photo/1 after Gawker writer advocates bullying of nerds with an anti Gamergate rant10/19/2014 - 12:32pm

Matthew Wilson: https://soundcloud.com/totalbiscuit/weaponised-charity a interesting audio log.10/19/2014 - 12:04pm

prh99: Also there is no story in rational and respectful discussion (where you can find it).10/19/2014 - 10:44am
|
prh99: Well they are probably doing it on Twitter and probably the GG hashtag so any voice reason gets drowned out by idiocy. Also it's far easier to broad brush a group.10/19/2014 - 10:41am

Wonderkarp: dont fool yourself, Technogeek. Remember Mass Effect 3? How about the ferver against Phil Fish?10/19/2014 - 10:18am

Re: Greatest Video Game Fireworks
This is boring filler "news", I want to get angry about something like a rape game.
I'm angry that I have nothing to get upset about >:|
Re: Greatest Video Game Fireworks
Would have been better if they'd just just let them play through instead of splicing them up all over the place like that. I couldn't sit through the whole thing (the splicing plus too much buffering). But I'm glad to see Animal Crossing made it on there, because the fireworks for the game are actually quite pretty.
Re: Greatest Video Game Fireworks
What? No Splinter Cell Double Agent Chinese Newyear level? Climbing up the outside of a building 60 floors up while fireworks being set off everywhere! Blasphemy!
Also Ace Combat 6 mission after "winning" the game, you fly around Gracemaria while fireworks going off...
Re: Greatest Video Game Fireworks
I'd count Mercs 2 myself, depending o nyour definition of fireworks >.>
Re: Greatest Video Game Fireworks
My two favorites are in Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball's opening FMV and during the mission in China in either Splinter Cell, Pandora Tomorrow or Double Agent. I forget which one it was in and I'd have to go through a lot of game to get to it. It was so pretty I stopped for a few minutes. The mission could wait. Those weren't in there, sadly.
Also, agree on the "simply cool" tag.
