Me, the past 3 days. I fucking love the drama. REALITY SHOWS: NOW MORE REAL THAN EVER.

Also, as a dude who has the minorest of roles in the games journo world I think both those articles did a good job of trying to show what this whole kerfuffle was to the public. Those articles weren't written for us.

Well, journos post articles about things that happen (to get hits), without everybody's take on it (not just games, but politics and everything). That's how the world/life works.

Just to be fair.

I don't care either way, btw, heh.

Yup, and if the people want to eventually come out about things they will. Drilling into it over and over is just acting childish.

I also believe Jared made that announcement on the Level Up stream and didn't tell Haunts about it till after.

No, no, no, a million times, no.

Haunts well before that. After he was informed I was on WNF pre-show, talking to AJ on the phone and I decided to discuss it. Why would I ever drop a bomb like that on someone I considered to be a very good friend for 2 years and basically started his entire streaming operation? No way. I left IPW and the show because it was the best way to actually promote IPW. As I've said before, I never wanted to leave and it was a personal sacrifice to do so for the greater good of the FGC and it totally has been.
 
Jared is a super active guy and he knows plenty of people, I dont think its an IPW hookup per se.

Is what he did any different than what people usually do in the workplace? Everybody uses leverage to get a raise, promotion, a new job, etc. I don't get it.

Did Jared do something malicious to Haunts?

Pandora Mode style.
 
Game deserves better.

How about this:

Read: the shitty, casual games over the drama-filled community, and the good ones where there is money guaranteed to roll in.

Oh yeah, I went there. COME AT ME BROS

The hobo is not the issue, destructoid is the issue.
Also dude, hobo is not the preferred nomenclature. Man with a beard, please.
 
Yeah, they could have at least linked or posted a transcript of LI Joe's conversation with Sherry.

But no, they don't have time for that. It's all about getting the article up before others to get those hits. Fuck journalistic insight and investigative drive right? I mean, quickly post this shit up and get working on that mass effect 3 review stat!

No offense LHK but there's like 100 hours of stream coverage. There's only so much you can ask of a single guy under time constraints. You're acting as if they had to have interviewed everyone involved and watch every hour of the entire show stream in order to post a legitimate article. It would be old news by that point.

I understand that many people are angry at these journos for not getting absolutely everything in there, but cmon. Just because you're more aware of a subject than someone totally new doesn't mean that their article is crap or irresponsible. It could be, certainly, but time pressure DOES matter, you do have to give them a little slack.

ALSO AN ASIDE: You the LHK from the DMC3 boards on Gamefaqs from way back?

Haunts (not to mention Sp00ky and Art) don't seem happy with how anything is going now (with regards to twitch), seems to me like your sacrifice was in vain.

Seriously. All these guys love to say that.
 
The ranting on this stream is the kind of stuff that will just egg on the trolls. They don't do it because they care about a cimmunity. They do it to get reactions which they're getting big time with stuff like this.
 
Just read it.

I don't get the hate on Jared then on this particular subject. How did he use IPW? Why are people saying that?

There's definitely two sides to this whole thing, but there are some people who are so against the kinds of things that Jared has advocated that they're willing to take the worst interpretation of anything he says.
