Title: So the last true Gaming Journalist died this past week
Post by: FancyFeast on February 24, 2008, 01:22:04 AM: (http://www.hollywoodandgames.com/img/speakers/NgaiCroal.jpg)

"Oh man I was at dinner with Ted Price, and then, I got to play R2"

"The thing about R2 is..."

"When R2 hits later this year..."

Homo sellout confirmed, look at him pitch a tagline for the title. Now all the tards at neotard are mimicing it.

To top it off, looks like him and Shane both got the Sony FUD memo to say that XNA will cost gamers 100$ a year.

Post by: Smooth Groove on February 24, 2008, 01:32:42 AM: hmm, I thought it was just my biases that caused me to think N'Gai was biased. I guess not if even Drohne thinks that he's a shill for Sony.

Title: Re: So the last true Gaming Journalist died this past week
Post by: Ichirou on February 24, 2008, 02:00:46 AM: The reason gaming journalism will never amount to anything is because all gaming "journalists" are just frustrated fanboys who want to get their foot in the door of the industry, so they're loath to step on the toes of any people who might hire 'em in the future.

It's pretty pathetic.

I think that lady from Naughty Dog gave him a shoutout too.

Why does Sony care so much about message board posters which make up a small % of all gamers?

Judging from his posts, kittonwy is obviously part of the Make A Wish program. His dream was to become a distinguished mentally-challenged marketing shrew before he died and now he's living it.

Wollan and N'Gai? Maybe. But Kittonwy? Only if he's suffering brain damage and that personality only appears when he's drinking furniture polish. Besides, we've seen Kittowny's annoying baby picture enough to know that he's not N'Gai. Unless he recently got a black implant and Korean overhaul.

Title: Re: So the last true Gaming Journalist died this past week
Post by: Smooth Groove on February 24, 2008, 03:13:04 AM: Gotta give credit to the Sony family for having such good teamwork. It's obvious that there're clear channels of communication between their exces, PR, devs, journalists and fanboy shills.

Have anyone noticed that almost all the SDF's posts or Shane's takes on the 1up podcats are basically just rehashes of Jack Tretton's latest statements? Their unity in spreading the latest Sony message is quite impressive. See PS3's 10 year plan, untapped power of the Cell, it's better to lead multiplatform development on a PS3, PS3 winning everywhere but in NA, etc...

The good thing is that it also makes them predictable and easy to troll, 'cause you know exactly what hurts them most. Just ask "why do Uncharted's explosions look like shit" or "who cares about sequels to mediocre 1st party Sony FPSes" and watch them explode.

they aren't, i've seen what Wollan looks like and he's not N'gai.

Did you ask him if he actually got paid by Sony or if he's just a miserable loser that does the shilling for free?
Title: Re: So the last true Gaming Journalist died this past week
Post by: TVC15 on February 24, 2008, 06:57:27 AM: N'gai's been a Sony shill since at least before the PSP launch.

nope - i didn't actually meet him, i unfortunately missed the opportunity.

Just to be ABSOLUTELY CLEAR as to how unserious i am about this business, i would have no qualms meeting anyone i have had spats with, or have a love for something i don't etc... and i'm sure we'd have a very civil, very nice, enjoyable chat/beer/etc.

this isn't life or death, this is just fun to pass the time.

You're a better human being than I am. I would beat the crap out of that dumb Kitton if it were just me and him in a bathroom.

Not to mention that ragging on the loser console is always more logical than ragging on the awesome console, has been for 20 years and it's not changing.

360 has the best next-gen lineup, sorry. Saturn did not achieve that. XBox wasn't the best console, MS isn't the best company, but 360 is better than both of those things and both its competitors. Sorry you can't handle that difference of opinion.

No one reacts to drohne or dcharlie like they react to you because he doesn't fuck up discussion by constantly calling people feggits and not contributing at all. There's a reason I post here and not OA, which is a far bigger Xfag haven than this place.

I've never really paid attention to N'gai's articles since he's kind of a casual (or at least his column is meant for casuals). He does seem to love sony a little. Liking PSP I can understand since it has definite advantages over DS but I haven't really read any of his articles since PS3 launched.
