Andrew Eisen Video: Ubisoft Ensures Watch Dogs Sells Like Crap On Wii U

February 13, 2014 - GamePolitics Staff

One of Andrew Eisen's latest videos (has been busy in the last week or so) points out that Ubisoft's latest move - to delay the Wii version of Watch Dogs to an undetermined date well after the Spring release of the game on other platforms - ensures that that version of the game will have crappy sales.

Some would say that Ubisoft is creating a self-fulfilling prophecy by doing this, giving other publishers an example to point to when they abandon development of their top properties for Wii U.

Andrew Eisen: Nintendo Fanboy Reacts To Wii U Woes

January 22, 2014 - GamePolitics Staff

Andrew Eisen is a bit of a Nintendo fanboy (see his ongoing list of games "not on Wii U"), so his latest video in the midst of all the bad news about Nintendo's Wii U sales during Christmas and its subsequent walking back of Wii U and 3DS sales estimate for the fiscal year is not surprising at all.

Here's the lead-in from Andrew's YouTube channel:

Andrew Eisen: 20 Of the Dumbest Things Ever Said About Video Games

December 9, 2013 - GamePolitics Staff

You can subscribe to Andrew's YouTube channel here.

Bill Cosby always said that kids say the 'darndest things,' but he never did a show about how adults say the dumbest things about just about everything. In Andrew Eisen's latest video he details the "The Twenty Dumbest Things Ever Said About Video Games."

It's a veritable who's who of people spouting off uneducated and misinformed quotes about everything from how games turn little children into killing machines to how someone can tell a person's heart rate by watching surveillance footage...

I'm not really sure what's going on in Andrew's latest video but apparently it's a pitch involving Barry Eisen's new show "Dirty Rotten Scammers."

Super Podcast Action Committee - Episode 76

November 11, 2013 - GamePolitics Staff

A day late and a dollar short would be the best way to describe Episode 76. It was recorded a few days after Extra Life (which admittedly messed with our scheduling and mental stability in the early part of the week). Add to that some technical difficulties with editing the show and you have an episode that is a week late. Nevertheless the topics we talk about on the show are timeless enough that you'll still enjoy it.

Andrew Eisen: Do Zombies Have Naughty Bits?

November 7, 2013 - GamePolitics Staff

During his Extra Life marathon (as part of Team ECA) Andrew noticed that in Zombie U zombies don't have their naughtier parts rendered. Why Andrew would spend so much time on this fact is beyond me, but you can hear Andrew talking out loud by watching the video to your left.

Andrew played quite a bit of Zombie U during his 24-hour marathon, along with lots of other Wii U games. You can catch Andrew streaming on Twitch.tv at irregular intervals by signing on his channel at www.twitch.tv/andreweisen.

Andrew Eisen: Three Things Every Binge Gamer Must Have

November 1, 2013 - GamePolitics Staff

While we don't recommend game binging to the extremes (we've written plenty of stories about people being found dead in cyber cafes in Asia over the years), sometimes - if it is for the right reasons - binge gaming is necessary. When you find yourself in such a situation where it is necessary, you need some rules.

Neo_DrKefkaOnly good thing I seen come out of the Biddle incident was the fact a professional fighter offered to give 10k to an anti bullying charity for a round in the ring with Biddle.10/19/2014 - 7:49pm
Neo_DrKefkaEven after all the interviews she is still on twitter making fun of people with disabilities (Autism) yet she is a part of the crowd that is on the so called right side of history...10/19/2014 - 7:48pm
Neo_DrKefkaWhich #GameGate supports are constantly being harassed and bullied. Brianna Wu who I told everyone she was trolling GamerGate weeks ago with her passive aggressive threats was looking for that crazy person in the crowd.10/19/2014 - 7:47pm
Neo_DrKefkaI believe the problem #GamerGate has with Sam Biddle is he is apart of this blogging group that in a way hates or detests its readers. Also being apart of the crowd that claims its on the right side of history isn't helping when he is advocating bullying10/19/2014 - 7:45pm
MechaTama31Of course, I'm looking at these tweets in isolation, I don't know a thing about the guy.10/19/2014 - 7:06pm
