i don't really know how we can respond to this. he could be trolling, and it is possible to photoshop that shit. unless new evidence come to light its essentially their word against his, and he's got the position of power.

i'd honestly stop posting about this. pick your battles bros.

Please tell me you aren't defending this man.

you are giving him too much attention, guys. Some random dude on the internet who also happen to own a site hates KS. SO WHAT? There are a lot of dumb people out there, should we rage about all of them?

He did say it was VERY HARD to photoshop....

Of course, in that case it's quite easy for him to prove his innocence. Someone can give him an image of an empty room, and he can photoshop in eight or nine Wii boxes at varying angles, some on furniture.

It's a nice easy way for him to restore his good name, he should *jump* at the chance!


Not saying it is or anything... but you could just put a camera on a tripod and take a picture of one box, then move the box and take more pics... then shop all of them together.
Poop. That's annoyingly plausible, and it'd account for the slightly odd spacing.

Am I the only one who thinks posting the contact info in the OP is somewhat crossing a line? Even if they're not land lines and home addresses.

Come on guys, reel it back a little. It's becoming a little too vindictive for my taste.

I'm with you.

People actually are now saying he is a world class photoshop expert to denounce the exposure that he is a piece of trash?

To be fair, the claim's not that he's a world-class photoshop expert as much as it is claiming that he's capable of taking some carefully-posed pictures and stitching them together.

Perhaps the title should be changed. "Likes to lie about stealing from children's charities" isn't exactly much better.

Either way, that was just the cherry on top, dude is clearly an ass regardless, hence the 10 or whatever pages before that.

Yes, this basically downgrades him from monumental asshole to just regular old asshole.

You can tell that the original wii photo posted is a composite. The wii on the right side in the chair doesn't have the wii on the left side in its reflection, only the arm rest which shouldn't be visible at that point as its behind the left box.

Wouldn't it be WORSE if it was photoshopped? He thinks it's funny to steal from children's charities?

It's about the same. He's a terrible person either way and right now he seems afraid over all of this blowing up in his face so he's scrambling to find a way to explain it. Maybe it's a joke, maybe not. It doesn't matter as he's already exposed himself for the piece of shit he is.

The point of trolling is to make people mad at you generally. So it's not so much that you think such and such is funny but just to get a rise out of people. The funny part to the troll is that part where people get pissed about it or are taken in by it or whatever.

I cannot comprehend people's hatred/dislike of kickstarter, it can be the best thing for gaming in a long time. It seems like the hate comes from butt hurt capitalists that don't like altruism or charity (despite kickstarter offering rewards and you still get the game when you pledge a certain amount).

Because he doesn't like Kickstarter and wound people up on Twitter about it a bit? Grow up.

Wow you're in a splendid little mood today are you not? I basically agreed with you, and you manage to sound just as rude as you did in the 1st post. Bravo. Thanks for entering this thread to tell us all to grow up btw, you have contributed.

personally I could care less about kickstarter, the fact that this guy is such an unrepentant unprofessional douchebag though turns me from a reader to a former reader. One who won't hesitate to tell any/all friends who read TA to stop giving the guy clicks.

Hell hath no fury like a nerd scorned.

But seriously this is pretty sad. Neogaf hive mind defending some half assed kick starter project to crazy levels.

Your comprehension abilities are greatly lacking if you really think that's what this is all about.

Then again, with the "hive mind" comment, I wouldn't be surprised if this is the case.

So, basically, you haven't even read the thread and just came in to make some ignorant and off base generalisation with the only apparent goal being to white knight some dude. On the internet. By insulting a community you're an active member of. That's not smart. The majority of the people calling him out (no, not for having an opinion over Kickstarter) aren't even supporters of Republique (while many of them don't like Kickstarter either), otherwise the project would have many more backers than it does. Next time try and be more informed before you comment in this manner, or you'll end up making a fool out of yourself, again. Sad.

Edit: and just to make it clear to you, people are just calling him out for the slander, double standards and general douchebaggery, not because he happens to like/dislike Kickstarter, Republique, or whatever else. And no, taking the time to post on the internet (!) doesn't mean people are obsessed, overreacting, raging, or whatever, it takes next to no time to do, especially when people are already visiting these boards to read or discuss about other stuff, potentially while multitasking.

Slander, general douchebaggery and double standards? On the internet?! Holy shit! If we had a new thread for every instance of this I doubt the servers would hold up under the strain.
Don't dress this up and anything more than it was - a defence force for Republique overreacting quite pathetically to one man's undeniably crass response to being asked to cover it, plus a bunch of other people jumping on the bandwagon to stick the boot in. NeoGAF should really be above this sort of shit.

Again, you miss the fact plenty of the people who are doing little more than point out his slander, double standards and general douchebaggery don't like Republique/Kickstarter. If posting on the internet is pathetic overreacting, what are you doing? Showing GAF how superior you are and how it should reach your standards by doing the same thing (+ adding stupid generalisations over a community you're a part of on top), ie, posting on the internet about how you don't approve of something people do? Cool...

So which category do all the mods that posted in here fall under?

Posting on the internet isn't overreacting. Overreacting is overreacting. I believe I covered people who don't like Reoublique/Kickstarter under "a bunch of other people jumping on the bandwagon to stick the boot in".
 
Just to be clear - I'm not defending anything he's done. He's acted like an idiot.
But, I mean, look at the OP of this thread. It's ridiculous.

So posting on the internet isn't overreacting but pretty much everyone who posted any disapproval of this guy's actions is either a Republique fanboy defending it or someone jumping on the bandwagon of Republique fanboys defending it, and most definitely overreacting. And that includes pretty much all of GAF that passed through the thread, as per your earlier generalisation. But what you're doing doesn't count, it's totally different and definitely simply posting on the internet rather than posting on the internet in a manner that's overreacting. Cool. So, you're basically very, very confused and/or delusional. Thanks.

Edit: I don't see how your disapproval of some elements in the OP, ie 1 post, justifies any of the implications in your previous posts.
 
Touch Arcade is the site iOS has got. A shitty tabloid fanboy rag that employs Brad Nicholson. With the quality that iOS is achieving, it is not the site that iOS gaming deserves.

The GAF iOS thread is a much better source of info. Forget these blog traffic pillocks and just stick to GAF and other sites for your iOS news.

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
It's funny this thread has gone on this long, as people were actively trying to find shit on this guy.. and they ended up finding a stupid 5+ yr old troll post to try and make him look bad.

It's funny, people want to read all this shit on twitter and get outraged by it, but we all know our friends and co-workers say considerably worse stuff to us on a daily basis.

If I'm ever too old to not at least grin at something as stupid as "shit-farter" then put me in the grave.

I said this on TA's forums but it was deleted, but... Why would you lie to make yourself look like a shitheel? Don't most people lie to make themselves look better? Ie: what he's doing NOW AFTER THE FACT

What's really funny is that you believe he was just trolling and isn't actually a massive cunt.

My friends and co-workers are respectable people. Dunno about yours.

And if "shitfarter" makes you grin, you seriously need to grow up.

I agree with most of your post, but dude, since when does finding something funny = immature? Sounds like YOU need to grow up.
