[QUOTE=Killer900;45912050]I saw this posted in the comments section of one of his videos the other day, I can't find it anymore but someone reposted in a /v/ thread, it's not a word for word but the first paragraph of it is pretty much the same.
Idk how much of it is true, I know that he did used to moderate on a forum run by Armake21 but idk about the "corruption" stuff. (for the record I like IA's vids, him as a person though I don't know much about)

I think IA can be a little vicious (I think I might have mentioned that before) but that he brings up really good points.
Do I agree with his delivery? Not always. But I also think that he does care that there are people abusing equality movements for their own gain.
I don't like IA that much at all. I actually didn't watch the Quinnspiracy videos for ages because I didn't like him.
But I have to give him credit when/where credit is due. A broken clock is right twice a day, and his Quinnspiracy videos are simply not bad. There are assholes on both sides, and IA might be an asshole, but he does have his shit together in this video series.

[QUOTE=Jammymanrock;45911817]I understand that this internet aristocrat guy is a big supporter of gamergate and makes good videos on it but holy shit this stream he's a massive tool :/[/QUOTE]
He's extremely well informed for who he is, but he gets far too overly emotional about nearly everything he talks about and ends up looking like that. I have respect for him, but I won't go farther than my stick can poke him with though :v:
I missed the end of the stream. Weren't there supposed to be guests?

he said he was but decided not too
probably why he didn't name any guests

I love how it's not just [I]minorities[/I], but also women and not-white people from around the world, mega slap in the face
I've been watching this whole thing from the start (from the first thread, to this thread), so I wanted to post this for a while, been having this small issue to "let it go".
I decided to do a game out of it just for fun, poke a little and give out satirical humor, but at the same time show a meaningful message (like Papers, Please).
The game's being made under GameMaker: Studio (to do this quick and easy) and will be open-source for everyone once it is completely done. I've sent this to Reimu and thought it was a good idea. So I kept making progress up to this point as I need help in sound, music, and art. No need help in the programming side as I have that covered.
In one of my tweets it shows the current (functionality wise) progress about the game:

and some "working demo":

If anyone has a comment/rant/criticism then you are free to do (same goes if you want me to completely stop doing this) so or if you wants to help then shoot out a message.
Also, I'm amazed we're going for a month now with this concurrent issue.

I used to be very good friends with the Youtube Rant Community (the shitty one), and i'm friends with Big Al on facebook. Armake21 was a retard who scammed people and genuinely had terrible rants. Big Al himself is a nice guy most of the time but can confirm that shit is true, he was kind of crazy too. Can also confirm the thing about IA. I actually don't like IA, he is honestly not trust worthy in my opinion. But that's just me. I remember these people, they would do anything to become popular and well known.
There were some nice people, but this shit is like a seedy underbelly. I personally wouldn't look too much into IA. I probably sound like an ass but yeah.
So what did I miss from the last couple of days? Wanna give me a run down? Probably around a weeks worth I missed, maybe just catch me up on everything and I'll go to the part I haven't heard about.

zoe started posting screencaps from an irc channel from august 20th, attempting to hijack the gamergate related hashtags by saying 12 people from a chat room before #gg existed talking about "hacking" her means #gg is nothing but hackers. irc channel mod released the whole log of the chat, revealing even then she cherrypicked and edited screenshots.
tfyc reveal an email in which zoe throws maya under the bus and admitted to maya (her friend in silverstring media, a PR firm) doxxing and ddosing tfyc.
Zoe is completely irrelevent but she's trying really hard not to be

Anything to shit on gamers.
[QUOTE=JesterUK;45913261]Zoe is completely irrelevent but she's trying really hard not to be[/QUOTE]
It's funny how she became irrelivent to a controversy she pretty much started.
Also throwing Maya under the bus like that is a bad idea, since out of the two of them, while ZQ may have more defenders on twitter, because of how this whole thing started, Maya has more industry contacts and such, which is possibly going to end up with Maya wrecking ZQ completely, since MK hates women from the get go and throwing her under a bus is probably going to do nothing but piss her off even more.

She's more the lid on the can of worms if anything, once the lid is gone, you're more interested in the contents of the can.
it is kind of odd how /v/ has given up on zoe because she's irrelevant and then she keeps doing stuff
if I was an absolute cynic I'd say she wants the attention but that's irrational and insane
the thing with the coke can that said gamer was particularly ridiculous

That's an old study. And honestly not surprising in the least.
Gamasutra is a good place to get gaming blogs

Worse, you are poor examples of men. Men, good men, defend women. They do not attack them.
To which end: To defend the honor of Anita Sirkeesian, Zoe Quinn, Leigh Alexander, or yes, Anna Anthropy, I will be willing to meet any of you, on horse or afoot, with sword or pistol, at a time and place of your choosing.

its a blog post clearly labelled "blog" and "expert blogger"
but this guy is also garbage tier level
as terribly written as it is, it's a blog post so i don't really give a crap. that's what blogs function as; you can detest the language and argue that his wording is not really indicative of the salary he prob. gets but otherwise meh

Oh man that's brilliant.
[quote]What do you think you're defending? An industry in which greed-head executives make brain-dead games on a yearly basis that show little to no innovation from one title to the next? You fucking -want- Madden? And the next Call of Duty game, same as the last but with new content from hundreds of exploited drones working hours that destroy relationships because the suits think that's what they want?[/quote]
This is [b]the[/b] most wannabe-leftist-crazy socialist things I've read in a while! Criticize us for being corrupt assholes? WHAT DO YOU WANT MONEYGRUBBING CAPITALISTS IN TOP HATS TO CONTINUE TO EXPLOIT HARDWORKING PEOPLE?!
Yeah, as if you guys are quite the alternative, alright.
And the shining example of being sexist, [b]misogynist[/b] asshole at the end of the piece is top notch.

[quote]Quinn said. "People need to understand how this sort of thing works so that they're not duped, because the thing about astroturfing is that at first glance it can be convincing to people who have no knowledge of the topic or key players."[/quote]
So exactly what she is doing with her out of context and narrative-driven screencaps?
It's a surprisingly good article really, it gives a voice to both sides and lacks a lot of the bias seen in pretty much everything else. Whether it's the Escapist publisher kicking their ass or something else, good to see an improvement.
some guy got into the Bungie Destiny Launch Party in seattle (hes calling himself Partyfag at 4chan)
he said hes gonna ask them about gamergate
