Title: holy shit 1up is shameless
Post by: drohne on July 16, 2008, 07:50:02 PM: i thought i'd post this since tigerriot's sfag conspiracy thread went over so well

but read james mielke's shane kim interview: http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3168783

enjoy vigorous displays of team spirit like

Quote from: mielke
Which gets you more excited: Taking a piece of Sony's cake, or showing people that you're still in it to win it?

OPTIONAL CHALLENGE: try to read this interview without involuntarily picturing executive-journalist high fives and celebratory fist-pumps!

Post by: MCD on July 16, 2008, 07:59:46 PM: i think Mielke once said that square is throwing lesser rpgs at MS and not their biggest titles like FF/DQ.

so you can see how happy and xfaggy he is now lol.

Post by: Van Cruncheon on July 16, 2008, 07:59:59 PM: the conflict this stirs

what do i ostensibly dislike more: sfag paranoia, or mielke's wholly unobservant industry inanity

i think i side with the sfags this time

No, but seriously, that was a bad interview. I remember the days when Shoe would call Peter Moore a smarmy cock to this face.

what i do find interesting is the change in attitude amongst games reviewers/journos.

MS have -definitely- done a job on them. Prior to X360 launching, MS were still seen as somewhat laughable, does seem amazing that they've managed to turn some of those opinions around.

really? I mean, 1up/egm's always seems ms biased to me

edit: actually you can have mojovonio's post history too. maybe i'm getting overconfident here, BUT THAT INTERVIEW HAS ME SO PUMPED

gaf this? i obviously got this from gaf. do you imagine me reading 1up

Title: Re: holy shit 1up is shameless
Post by: cool breeze on July 16, 2008, 08:05:21 PM: Actually, 1up/EGM gets tilted back and forth between Sfag and Xfag. It it easier to point out the members and not the site as a whole:

Mielke = Xfag
Shane = Sfag
Garnett = Sfag when sober, Xfag when drunk.

Title: Re: holy shit 1up is shameless
Post by: Van Cruncheon on July 16, 2008, 08:19:47 PM: eh, at least he can defend his tastes, and nobody's obligated to join the xfag cult, although it's really the only sensible option

besides, it's creepy to talk about him in the third person in, y'know, his own thread, but YOU STARTED IT

There is no industry coercion.

1up is not biased

mmmmm either that or i'm cherry-picking. one or the other. i mean, i thought of putting my mielke pullquote against eel o'brian's posting history, but i was like: someone with such an interesting username must have posted interesting things at some point even if i can only really recall him getting overwrought when fat people are mocked

Speaking of the customizable avatars. Currently they're all designed by Rare, but -- and I don't know if you've ever heard this opinion -- but there's a large legion of gamers out there who really think Rare is the bottom of the barrel in terms of character design. Detractors might suggest that the options you'll receive in XBL to customize your avatar with will be A) one set of eyes, B) infinite vegetables. Will all of your avatars be designed by Rare, exclusively, or will you open it up to other publishers, or first-party developers?

Come on, you have to admit at least that this question was pretty funny.
