[QUOTE=Rocâ„¢;46438957]Wow, AGGers really don't understand how hot the fire can get.[/QUOTE] Except for the "that this will send a message" part it sounds like a random complete idiot. I suppose those are attracted by this kind of one-sided "righteous" ideology though.

[QUOTE=FlakAttack;46440109] Also I'm enjoying the way they talk to us like we're the ones who don't understand anything.[/QUOTE] Condescending is the word you're probably looking for. You will probably notice how often they do that. Enjoying it is the proper way to go about that :v:

[QUOTE=TheJoey;46441079][img]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B14zb1ZCYAAsG7Q.jpg[/img] nope, fuck this bitch. burn it down. politician pig. you go.[/QUOTE] Apparently the Fox interview was at the very least recorded, no idea when it's being broadcast.

A bit less belittlement would be a good start.

It seems like every day, the anti-GG people get more and more ridiculous. I'm saying by the end of the month, we will have been blamed for Ebola, the rise of right-wing nationalism in Europe, and the lack of funding for space programs.

[QUOTE=Raidyr;46442054]Looks like a fun game, props for a reasonable crowdfunding goal too.[/QUOTE] I would laugh so hard if they make a better game with $6000 than Tim Schafer with $3.3 million

also cooties

The game looks pretty rad to me from a gameplay perspective, and already the characters seem pretty well developed. The music is fucking ace too. I'm backing it regardless of what you chucklefucks want to do, but I think it would be really great if we could signal boost it on twitter. Having people like Sommers and Liana K help signal boost puts the opposition in a hard spot.[/QUOTE] Getting gunpoint vibes off this, but instead of a jazz theme it's cyberpunk.

American Express supports gawker and thus, Mike cancels his amex. [url]https://twitter.com/PlayDangerously/status/531185455233261568[/url]

The fact Gawker is going down because one of their employees made a tweet supporting bullying and then they decided call it a non issue is insane. They committed absolute PR suicide.

It is pretty much like they jumped out of an aircraft straight into a wood chipper and that is pretty much the scale of how big the PR suicide is.

The Anti-GG side has said so many retarded things I can't even comprehend how their brains work. "Bullying is good." "Being black and supporting #GG is like being a housenigger" "I prefer ISIS to Gamers" Does anyone have a collection of their tweets like these?

So apparently there's this "pointergate" hashtag going around that's pretty much mocking GG and all the stuff it does. So... Yeah, fuck #pointergate.

Hmmm media umping on someone and smearing them to make a news story sounds familiar,would it be a good idea to let them know we are in a similar situation?

I saw someone using it in a manner that seemed like it was mocking GG's emailing campaign, so I just assumed.
