After she left GAF, she went on Reddit and posted a bunch of crazy; I think BrandNew linked us to some of it.  If those thirsty losers want to follow her around like a lost puppy, I say let them.

Even funnier is that some of them are attempting to put a pseudointellectual spin on her insane rant:

Seems like it, but also really a critique on collection of guys on the internet.

That's a shame about Amazon Tony, though I haven't looked into any of that big thread about any of this to know why it was such a big issue (maybe I will on the toliet later), but the guy did put in some effort at getting deals posted, often ahead of time, and helping people out with issues. Plus he would give away keys just for GAF at times.

I guess I don't understand the whole "integrity of GAF" thing. Tony was clearly labeled as an employee of Amazon, as some others are for their employers, and I'm not sure what the issue is with someone shilling for their employer is. There are plenty of people on GAF who do it for free, they do the tags, just label the actual employees.

But then I've never got the whole OT thing either. I mean I've made the Hell's Kitchen OT's recently and that was just going to the site a week before the premiere and rehosting the images and copy-pasting info so people could "pick" a winner like we do before every season and sometimes I updated it with the changes to when the show as airing. And I mostly have done those so the other fans around GAF see the season is starting soon so they can lock in and get ready. Isn't that enough for games? Here's the release info, basic modes or whatever and some screens and vids, NOW TALK ABOUT IT. The actual info you need is pages later when people get the game and point out how it's 480p and runs at 11fps, also the multiplayer sets your console on fire. Plus you need to download this hexedit. Or whatever.

It's not like there aren't extensive wikia's out there now for most of these games. A couple weeks ago I just wanted to look at something for the Resident Evil movie that was playing over and over on USA, and there's a huge ass wiki with all sorts of insane and detailed info about the series out there. Maybe link to that or whatever.

Apologies if nobody gives a shit about this anymore.

Amazon Tony actually registered (yes that's him) -- he was on here last night but I'm going to guess he saw that this isn't really the GAF or CAG sized hangout... and I'm curious how he came across it in the first place.

For the record, I supported Amazon Tony at GAF in the Steam thread when some people were getting butthurt an Amazon rep was posting deals directly instead of someone having to go look them up on CAG and repost them there, and I'm pretty sure I posted my support at the time. I will accept any Amazon gift cards you wish to offer me for past and future support.

His thread came right at the same time as the whole Eurogamer ordeal was unfolding, otherwise he probably would have just been given a slap on the wrist and sent back to the Amazon thread.

What happened with eurogamer?

-Eurogamer writer wrote a piece about how games journalists get lots of free stuff from publishers [some specific journalists were mentioned]
-One of the journalists mentioned threatened legal action against Eurogamer
-Eurogamer cut out the offending paragraph
-The writer "left amicably" and is now unemployed

Here's an entire chronicle of the sad, sordid affair:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osteosarcoma

Dude really?

Thats amazing!!! When were you diagnosed?

:rock

Just saw this, sorry.  I first had an inkling something was wrong when I was 14...maybe 15, I forget.  A shard pain in my left leg would come up everytime I tried to go to sleep and it was keeping me up.  I just thought they were growing pains or mild muscle aches.  But then, I was at an Eric Clapton concert with my dad at a big outdoor pavilion venue.  The type where you have to walk like a mile or two from your car to your seats.  So on the way back afterwards I had a searing pain in my leg and truly could not stand on it.  Walking was out of the question.  My dad had to carry me back to the car.  Next day we went and got an MRI as well as a biopsy I believe.  I kinda forget, it was a while ago and my parents weren't exactly very forthcoming about what was wrong.  I just thought "oh something hurts, I'll get some painkillers."  Then when we were going in for results my dad told me the doctor's thought it was a form of cancer, and sure enough it was.

The good thing about bone cancers and particularly osteosarcoma is that if you catch it early enough, doctors can perform limb-salvage surgery to cut the malignant tumor out and combine it with medication called mifamurtide, which is no joke but still not chemo.  I didn't have to go through any chemo in my case but they said that I could have recurrence, so I get checked out every year to see the progress.

So I have four and a half inches missing from my fibula in my left leg due to the surgery.  Thank god I didn't have to get it amputated, which they said could have happened if the cancer cells were spreading faster.  Regardless, I can't really run for long periods of time.  Not that I give a shit.

After reading this I'll make sure to repost something on Facebook about how much cancer sucks and how people with cancer just want to not have cancer.  I'll tell people to share and like it so I know I'm making a difference.

Just kidding, that's pretty fucking hardcore.  Not something I ever want to deal with, especially since there's always the chance it could come back in a few years.

Hoo boy

I find this rather puzzling. The official threads seen on NeoGAF look like they were pulled directly out of some PDF in a press kit. They're done for free mostly for people that have never played the game in question yet but are showering all this undeserved love onto it with multiple posts in a row filled with overproduced banners and barely useful information. People call the ability to produce these free marketing materials months in advance, sometimes calling OTs for sequels that HAVEN'T EVEN BEEN ANNOUNCED YET. At some point these people need to go all the way and start offering publishers and developers actual fellatio instead of just doing it digitally on their favorite message board.

This is not a defense of Tony, even if I believe that his heart was in the right place (seems like an alright guy just doing his job). I'm simply saying that most official threads are disgusting to being with so those so invested in wasting weeks of free time producing assets for them may as well have a direct source to get high-quality images or other things such a relationship can provide. Hell, I'm sure many OTs are the works of publishers and developers. I'm sure Evillore knows it, and I'm sure he doesn't care as long as it's kept quiet and away from public eye.

I'd like to see it taken a step further and have community mangers and others who are doing PR for their games banned. Those Dead Space guys are just as shilly as Tony (and I like them), if not moreso. Same with OneLetter in regards to Volition/Origin. They aren't going to tell you the truth if it makes them and their product look poorly. So why would you want to entertain some company mouthpieces but deny the rest?

Evilore and those guys like to pretend there is a world of difference between the slobbering blowjob ot's that fans make and the slobbering blowjob ot's that professional marketing people would create.

There isn't but they like to pretend its an issue of "integrity"

there is though - the OTs exist and may well have external involvement but unless there's evidence of paid opinions in those threads (there maybe, there may not be) then i don't have an issue with them at all other from the fact that 99% of the posts for the first 20 pages tend to be OMG AMAZING and that M0DuS - as nice as a guy as he seems to be - is one of THE most overrated designers i've seen. But hey...

the difference between this and what is going on with the Rab v Fucking Games "journalism" is pretty simple: when i used to use Games Magazines , it was to help me to get an idea of what games were and weren't worth my time. This is C64 era, maybe up until early megadrive stuff. I saw the purpose of Games Journalism as the barometer for whether i'm going to be interested in something and whether i'm going to spend money on products.  The OTs are usually just a coral of info, followed by people discussing the game - they're NOT guaranteed to be love fests on GAF. With games magazines with a relationship with PR companies who have some leverage of future content? Yeah - once that relationship is tainted then games journalism isn't serving gamers - it's just an extension of PR with the fable that they are serving their reading public.

Games Journalism, out side a pocket of people, can frankly go fuck itself. They're no longer required. As i say , i've had no real use for gaming journalist opinions for years, but if i was a younger gamer and i was looking for guidance on games, i'd expect Games Journalists to do their fucking job.

And Rab is fucking solid.

And as for Tony ? He was helping gamers get better deals - he wasn't a journalist , he made an ill advised post. And now gamers lose out.
Of course it was in Amazon's interest to drum up more business but ... a perma?

Since Tony was transparent for what he was there for I didn't really have a problem with his existence on the forum. The advertisement-like OTs and shills posing as posters are what cheapen the forum.

Most of us don't and the obsession comes from looking for people to back up your own opinion. I want my games journalists unafraid to fucking trash whatever game they come across. Rab, RevStu, those sort of people.

went back to Press fall out thread. The Gaming Journalists are all either shitting themselves or talking absolute shite.

It's boiling down to "we are clean, and if you don't believe us? We can't help that"

Great - so everyone should be sure : they don't want to change the set up - infact, i think it's too late for them to actually change the relationship now , but hey : they want us to change to accept they aren't influenced and "just move on"

the whole thing just shows how completely behind the times the industry is - every other industry has rules on this sort of thing and the deflection hilarity of saying "bu bu in real journalism..." or "well, BIG OIL COMPANY A did this and some gobbuerment guys did this!" is just folly.

The gaming issue is that the horrible relationship to PR is there, front to back, from even the smallest turd dollop. People denying it or pulling the "wrong, you just have to trust us" are completely missing the whole point : the "just trust us" ship has sailed. it's too late for that. This has been brewing for years and now the ship has struck jagged rocks these excuses look like exactly what they are - fucking hot air.

People have been WARNED over and over again about this - there's no surprises and anyone who tells you "well, that doesn't happen!" is almost certainly lying to you or criminally stupid
