Jeff Green getting in on the action. Hi Jeff Green!



That Penny Arcade article actually made me angry. It is very one sided and is obviously set on pointing the finger at the FGC using stuff like posts on a fucking message board as evidence. I appreciate the Klepek article for taking a neutral stance on the issue and that he is trying to get the facts straight as much as possible.

 

[darkressurection]

30 minutes until the elimination challenge, just a heads up for those that don't have a clock nearby.

 

[JeffGreen]

Except the initial article he put out did not do that, hence why he's doing that now.

I think he did a pretty good job of at least TRYING to get the info he could at the time. But yes, follow-up also counts. Compare it to what most everyone else did or is doing --- copying his story or concocting stories based on Twitter posts....

 

[Rice-Eater]

Wow, I've asked a number of questions and he answered everyone of them. Thanks Art, I didn't mean to annoy you with the question about Josh. Just curious what anybody would do if they won the money.

 

[Tobe]

Yeah.. this woman is a PR nightmare.

Make up your mind or keep your mouth shut.

I just read the Penny-Arcade article. The writer should be fucking ashamed he produced that piece of writing he wants to pass off as journalism. Wow. Much, much worse than all the other articles.

OH COME ON THIS IS BS! yeah sexual harassment isnt something to joke about when there is no mood for it and even then it is really something you dont really joke about. but this shit is being blown way out of proportions. then triforce defending girl gamers YO GTFO he would defend any chick since Mileena.

im with enzo how the FUCK any of this is considered journalism, if this so called journalism is to be called something it might as well be called crap.

This made me laugh way too hard because I thought of this picture when I read it:

I think on CA itself Josh said that he wanted to go to Japan because he hadn't been able to go yet.

This. Jeff's the fighting game head of the crew and even he does some scrubby shit on the Quick Looks.

I guess here's a good place to talk about this.
I'm Ben, some of you might know me as big Ben or GlenTennis, former Giant Bomb intern. I'm returning this summer with Nick and hope to produce some awesome content about stuff I'm passionate about, like fighting games. Nothing's for certain yet, but I have a lot of ideas floating around.

 

[Ogrekiller]

And then we have people like this.

Tier List for the articles:

S+ Tier = Giant Bomb
A Tier = Penny Arcade
C Tier= Kotaku
Kotaku Tier = Destructoid

Nerf Kotaku. They got buffed too much, man.

Shameful.

Depends if she still tweets about the situation. I think she's having trouble dealing with the attention. She keeps flip-flopping.

Don't really know what to expect from Miranda anymore. She seems to alternate between being content, being outraged, hating the press, liking the press, and whatever.

Sounds cool Ben, hope it pans out.

 

[enzo_gt]

Grapplers getting super armor on some of their grabs is a fucking amazing idea and I'm puzzled as to why it's not this way in Mahvel by default. That's a pretty Mahvel design decision right there, and I respect that Ono.

Great to hear, the community usually supports this kind of attention plentifully, and always makes sure to give it a chance.

Oh nice! I think you have been one of the best interns over there so I look forward to see what you do when you go back.

That's awesome, man. Hearing Jeff gush about Mortal Kombat and nominating the story mode for GOTY award for story was awesome. As much as I like to give you guys shit for not playing well in the Quick Looks, GB is the last good mainstream site that takes fighting games somewhat seriously.

That's awesome, Ben. I look forward to it!

 

[PsychoSoldier]

It's not one or the other, guys. You can be hurt and upset over something and still manage to laugh. I have to imagine that they're treating her with kid gloves at this point too, so I think it's unlikely anyone is going to risk saying anything out of bounds.

 

[Mœbius]

Wow. smh.

Ben Kuchera:

Dear nice people of fighting games: don't get mad at the press for reporting this. Get mad at the people who said and did these things.

Damn if we could get some decent FG stuff on GB that would be sick.

Nah, we can get mad at whoever the fuck we feel like getting mad at.

But really:

 

[BaroqueSampson]

Ben, why?

Why do you do this to us?

It would be much harder to write article painting the community as a whole as sexist if Aris did not get on stream and act like the ambassador for foolishness.

Eh, at this point I feel like Patrick will get the story done right and Ben Kuchera's write up was a total piece of shit so he has no grounds to be saying anything.

Gabby Jay.... YAY!

Did you not see the sheer amount of "Reached out for comment and got no responses" in that article?

I think she has had a rough week. From the harassment stuff on stream to her "black guys" comments to the "Asian dick" and all the shit she got online for that. She went from" I told capcom and they did nothing" to "I am happy about how capcom has handled this" within minutes. All the while knowing her mom was watching(which she tweeted about). This girls has just a had a fucked up week and I think she is feeling very conflicted and is getting pulled in every direction. She needs to take a break from twitter and the internet and just relax and get back to her normal life. This must be absurdly draining and I feel for her.

It would be much harder to write article painting the community as a whole as sexist if Aris did not get on stream and act like the ambassador for foolishness.

People tend to forget this, but Aris was doing it for the stream monsters. He didn't start harassing Miranda till people started spamming 'Miranda's thighs!!!'. Aris got the idea that this was what the monsters found entertaining so he started teasing Miranda about it. He thought Miranda would play along and feed the trolls.

People also forget that Aris didn't ask Miranda her bra size because he wanted to know it. He asked it because the chat was asking Aris to ask Miranda certain questions. I saw 'Miranda how are you so thick for a white girl?' in the chat and Aris straight up asked her that a minute later. He thought this stuff would entertain the stream monsters and make people watch the show.

I also think Aris couldn't have thought Miranda would react the way she did. Aris has been around stream monsters for years and he knows how to react to them. Miranda doesn't. I don't think Aris thought it was harassment, he just thought it was stupid fun. Dr. Sub-Zero also knows how to react to stream monsters. Stream asked "Do you like dicks?". John said "Yeah. I love dicks. Two at the same time.". This was a new thing for Miranda, and she couldn't handle it.

TLDR: Aris isn't sexist. He was saying stuff the stream monsters asked him to say, and didn't realize that Miranda would take them personally. My 2 cents.

 

[MThanded]

BOOM casuality.

That was inevitable.
