Update on Penny Arcade.
Seems the douche realises how stupid he has been.

That was a most epic line near the end. Or rather paragraph... yeah, whole of that last chunk was epic.
Yup, I was literally laughing at my computer screen while reading that last bit. Good for him not backing down. Too many people are willing to accept a heartless apology that are made out of necessity, not sincerity.

The fact this Paul guy has been backtracking at whom he sees as necessary, while leashing out at others, shows how insincere he is. I really hope his family, his children, and his run-on sentences are dragged through the mud. It takes a special type of asshole to marry this man and I feel they are almost as responsible.

Am I the only one who's wondering what the hell is up with that controller? Yeah? Okay then.
It´s a controller made for people that got deformed hands(from my understanding). Gonna assume that was what you meant.
Sorta. Just confused about the shape and the weird attachments. Though if it's for deformed hands, then I'll assume that it makes sense.

Just a heads-up, that link I sent you might be someone trolling for the sake of it. If it is, that's my bad.

It looks legit. If it turns out to be fake, I'll update accordingly.

Yeah, the Kotaku article is relevant to this. Also his Twitter handle was not
vansau said:
Examiner points out that Christoforo changed his twitter handle from <a href=https://twitter.com/#!/OceanMarketting>@oceanmarketing
but was instead @oceanmarketting (which I see in you have correct in the the html, just not visibly)
to be fair, its hard to misspell some words consciously, so I can see why someone would have trouble typing out "marketting" when any basic spell check would smack you in the testes just for trying it.
Fixed! Thanks, folks. And, yes, it's hard to consciously misspell stuff sometimes.
Other things that he's done:

His website has been stolen from various others
The about us [http://www.oceanmarketinginc.com/Aboutus.php] page came from here [http://www.seop.com/about-seop/]
The services [http://oceanmarketinginc.com/services.php] page from here [http://www.virtualsocialmedia.com/social-media-marketing-optimization-services/]
The Social networking [http://oceanmarketinginc.com/Socialnetworking.php] page from here [http://www.virtualsocialmedia.com/social-media-a-la-carte-services/social-networking-management-services/]
The search engine optimisation page [http://oceanmarketinginc.com/Search-Engine-Optimization.php] from here [http://www.whiteinkstudio.com/orange_county_seo.shtml]

Openly posted links to pirated cds using the company twitter


Lots more in the thread in gaming.

And they've swapped twitters again to @oceanstretagy. Can this guy spell?

I have got to say, despite everything that's happened, this is my favourite story this year. This fucker got what's coming to him and Mike managed to scare the fuck out of me while I agree with him completely. Seriously, I just love this far too much than I should.

Calumon: Is this a happy ending? I can't tell. :S

Damn...they've got a good impersonator then. Stratagy hasn't posted for hours now. Are we sure it's not him?

(And the original thread is locked from overuse I think? Can't get into it.)

Pretty sure. If only because that account has 0 followers and none of the tweet history of stratagy. The fact that there is no space between the punctuation marks in that new twitter also gives it away as being a fake; see the fraudulent Brandon email and all of paul's emails from before to see what I mean.

Still say to give the Oceanmaketting (Mark Ett Ocean) dude and him a cookie though for maximum lulz.

So let me get this straight...

1. Terrible PR
2. Plagiarizing and copyright infringement
3. Steroids
4. Piracy
5. Lied about these "big connections" he had.
6. Failure to send products to the promised date and illegally charging the customers FULL before product is even shipped.

Have I got it down pretty much?
I think you missed slander and murder of the English language.

Eh... it's a slow news day and Mike Krahulik is projecting like crazy in that follow up piece. Time to be the bigger man.

The guy sent some rude emails so now the vengeful internet will destroy his business and his life. Hopefully they'll back off before he ends up swinging from a ceiling beam somewhere, although I'm sure there are people out there who've blown this enough out of proportion that they'd think it was deserved.

The GoDaddy thing? That was good. That was the internet being a channel for a popular movement to take meaningful action directed at a big company that should have known better. This? This is just some poor schmuck being persecuted because the internet was bored and he is an easy target.

Been following this for quite a while...and it is simply beautiful, it's a marvel too read everything he's done wrong. It's like watching a train wreck gone horribly, horribly wrong. So horrible and bad that you can't look away.
