C'mon! Let's give old controversies some love and be smug in hindsight.
It's been a while, but wasn't the point of the video to say that PC gaming wasn't "Dying/Dead", but was actually just having it's market change, or something like that?RA92 said:Bob 'PC-Gaming-is-Dead' [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/the-big-picture/2911-PC-Gaming-Is-Dead-Long-Live-PC-Gaming] Chipman, surely?

And you should be mad, why? :/VanQ said:A Critical Miss comic claiming all white men are horrible in some way?
Honestly, nothing is amiss here.
I couldn't even get mad if I wanted to.
I get the joke. I just can't help but think that they're purposely trying to recreate the WGDF shitstorm again.MiracleOfSound said:Fixed that for ya.VanQ said:A Critical Miss comic claiming all white men are horrible in some way?

Sorry. I didn't see that post from before. It did seem like you where being serious. Though it was probably my inability to detect non-obvious sarcasm through text alone.Zachary Amaranth said:I'll just repeat the previous response:weirdo8977 said:@Zachary_Amaranth
I wouldn't really call you "internet infamous" since besid this site i haven't seen you be mentioned any where else. in fact i haven't even heard of you until coming to this site.
quick (~1min) google search didn't reveal much besides a steam and "that guy with the glasses" profile.
so where do you get "internet infamous" from?
And remind people that when someone refers to themselves directly as a "social justice warrior" they might not be serious.Zachary Amaranth said:Dude, I just described myself as a social justice warrior. At least entertain for a moment that I might not have been serious. I was actually having fun with claims I was infamous both on and off The Escapist. Apparently, for srs. That you could only find two o my linked accounts on a Google search actually makes it funnier.
As for being Zoe Quinn, the internet exploded when it found out how many penises she'd taken. I can totally top that.
Though looking for my own post, I did find Shrek's post, which I missed before.
Does that mean we've reached Quinnception?shrekfan246 said:You've uncovered the truth behind the Quinnspiracy!
Doesn't mean that people can't get super mad about himDrRockor said:So why was Bob on this dumb list of dumb? He's a film critic who talks about games and general nerd culture as well. I wouldn't describe him as a games journalist.
Uh, leaving aside whether hate is a proportionate response to someone saying something about gaming, I don't know what you mean by "keep," since the video linked is three and a half years old.NuclearKangaroo said:Why does this guy keep giving me reasons to hate him?RA92 said:Bob 'PC-Gaming-is-Dead' [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/the-big-picture/2911-PC-Gaming-Is-Dead-Long-Live-PC-Gaming] Chipman, surely?

Dude, they ARE Evangelion fans. They just enjoy poking fun at a famous thing that they like. And then it got so much attention that they decided to keep doing that. I think, I'm not a psychic after all.verdant monkai said:In all honesty The critical miss guys do seem to spend of time taking the piss out of straight white males. Don't know if either of them are gay, but if the comics anything to by they are both certainly white.
Then again they seem to have it out for Evangelion fans the most.
I dunno. Maybe it continues to be a very silly sentence that shouldn't be taken seriously by anyone in their right mind? It's a comic strip that pokes fun at both sides of the mess, lighten up, for goodness' sake.Rocket Girl said:OT (sort of): I wonder what happens if you change the white part of that sentence to black.

The joke went so far above you that it's reached escape velocity and is now orbiting your head. The last panel is poking fun at the SJWs who try to gain infamy by generalizing all white men, while the first panel is making fun of the zealotry of some anti-SJWs. This is the perfect representation of the situation at hand.VanQ said:A Critical Miss comic claiming all white men are horrible in some way?

It was a really garbled argument, like how the console motion controls would supersede the mouse and keyboard (we saw how that turned out) and how devices like laptops would replace PCs... while it was already considered part of the PC platform? I remember shaking my head because he was gleefully showing all the supposed alternatives to the PC being closed systems (the antithesis of PC gaming), as if that was a good thing.Imp Emissary said:It's been a while, but wasn't the point of the video to say that PC gaming wasn't "Dying/Dead", but was actually just having it's market change, or something like that?
Hence why the full title was "PC-Gaming-Is-Dead-Long-Live-PC-Gaming".
