Inactive Richard "Lowtax" Kyanka - Deadbeat (emphasis on "Dead") founder of Something Awful, forced out of his own community, on his second divorce, stuck his dick in crazy, "Birth Giver"

[Dyn]

Exactly, all the others who were invited had declined and Lowtax was stupid enough accept and exceptional enough to continue on through with it

Like four other critics also fought Uwe Boll that night and then had a lunch with him the day after where they amicably discussed why they didn't like his movies and he took constructive criticism from them. All of them walked away saying Uwe Boll was a lovely person, even if they hate his movies. The only person who threw an absolute pissfit and took it personal for 10+ years was Lowtax.

Was there confirmation he used a 5.7 or are people just assuming he did because we know he owned a P90?

PS90


P90 is the full auto.

The question I have is has anyone contacted King Reol for his take?

That's actually not a bad question. The Resident Expert of Leominster, our King, appears to be on his media outlets posting about elevators and doing Minecraft LPs. He... might not even know, which in itself is its own little victory over the 'tax.

Also his voice is about a thousand times more normal than I imagined.

All of them walked away saying Uwe Boll was a lovely person, even if they hate his movies. The only person who threw an absolute pissfit and took it personal for 10+ years was Lowtax.

I couldn't recall there being other critics to fight him or that they were amicable, but after looking it up you're absolutely right.

After Kyanka lost his match, he would go on to make several allegations against Boll, including a claim that Boll refused to fight against Chance Minter who was an experienced amateur boxer. However, Boll fought Minter as his fourth opponent.[48] He also alleged that Boll had misled them by claiming that it was a PR stunt when he actually intended to fight them, and that Boll stated that the participants would get training before the match, which none did.[49]

Kyanka added in a post-match interview that, "Half of us (the contenders) hadn't even seen his movies."[49] Sneider shared similar sentiments, stating "I think he's a jerk. This might be PR but I don't want to keep getting punched in the head."[50] Boll has denied these claims in an interview, stating that he gave his opponents three months to prepare.

Other contestants responded less negatively. Alexander, in a Toronto Star article, recounts being invited to Boll's beach house on the following day, where Boll asked him about the reasons for his negative reviews. Alexander bluntly told Boll that his movies were "bloated, expensive and incoherent attempts at aping American genre pictures, sporting some of the most boneheaded casting choices in filmdom". He also stated that Boll was an "insane, two-fisted rogue, and a shockingly honest one at that, someone who absolutely adores film, knows its history and truly lives for what he does."[51]

He acts like a jilted bitch to everyone, Uwe Boll, his Exes, his kids....

She is going to be lucky to get $10k in front of the Divorce Master. My friend has hit the gym and lost some weight, started volunteering at a nonprofit and has a meeting with a large bank for one of his projects. Dumb bitch was last seen around town in the company of a known heroin addict.

Please dont dox me bro

See also the Whedonesque dialogue of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Firefly. Quipping in the face of a bad situation was just the zeitgeist in the horrific years of the early '00s. Maybe something something 9/11 something, I don't know.

The horrific years of the early 2000s? You mean the awesome years of the early 2000s.

In all seriousness, the horrific years are today, yes 9/11 was an absolute tragedy, but I think what people forget is the general attitude in the aftermath was that the USA was simply going to kick some ass and make the bad guys pay, if anything people optimistically thought it would only make us stronger.

It wasn't like the malaise of today, nobody has any serious hope for the future anymore, everyone is hate fueled and angry all the time, nobody's just yukking it up and having a good time like the old days of SA.

Boll did try to be more of an actual filmmaker for a while there.

But that only made him a hell of lot less interesting, I don't understand why people reacted so genuinely negatively to him, his movies were fun to simply laugh at, same as any other B movie, his attempts at being more serious were simply a lot more boring.

I don't understand why people reacted so genuinely negatively to him, his movies were fun to simply laugh at, same as any other B movie, his attempts at being more serious were simply a lot more boring.

It had to do with him not giving a fuck about critical reception or audience feedback, his method of movie production explicitly ignored box office returns and impressions from critics. He'd receive funding for his production company from the rich so he wasn't 'beholden' to the usual tyranny of the critic and the viewer that a lot of other producer/directors are under pressure from. This creates all sorts of resentment of differing kinds from everyone fucking nerds.

My friend really liked Postal 1 & 2 (kinda) so when he saw the film he was nonplussed and confused. I still can't figure out why, its Postal for fucks sake.

So now we have gotten to the part of the saga where all the bitches fight over the scraps of Lowtax's money:

Just need the appearance of a 4th Lowtax kid now.

Wait, who's who? Is Ashli the Canuck wife? And who's the person behind this twitter account?

 

[Mister Qwerty]

Listening to Mad at the Internet on iTunes right now and Josh mentioned that he has an urn with Lowtax's name on it. @Null did you upload a picture of it yet?

 

[Mullti Port RDRAM]

Rampage was the only movie I think he actually gave a fuck, and it shows. Does he still make movies? Googling reveals he may have a restaurant in Vancouver.

I kinda want to know how he feels a--actually, no. I really don't. Lowtax is dead, he isn't gonna care anymore.

 

[Amazing Criminal]

Mandarys Milan II / Sir Conrad of Jersey will you take your meds and deliver Lowtax's eulogy? Your insight into his home life and work relationship was very interesting to read. (Your opinions about scientology less so.)

 

[Sabrina]

Wait, who's who? Is Ashli the Canuck wife? And who's the person behind this twitter account?

None of the people in the screenshot have anything to do with Lowtax personally. Alice used to chat with him on discord, and some random internet troll is griefing her for simping all over him. Alice is claiming the troll is Lowtax's second wife Ashli, but it isn't her. Alice just wants to sound off and is freaking out everywhere Lowtax is mentioned.

Damn. I mean, fuck the dude for a variety of reasons including taking the bitch way out and probably psychologically fucking up his kids for a long time as one final fuck you to his ex's, but still wild that the madman actually did it. Part of me honestly thought his ego was too big to ever do something like this. I knew he'd never make 50, but figured it'd be a heart attack or accidental OD or something. I felt lowkey weird for the rest of the evening when I heard the news, since leaking the raw, unedited recording he made of him trying to gaslight Logan and not giving him a chance to edit or spin it to a national audience as he'd originally planned likely contributed (in fairness, along with other factors I had nothing to do with) in the shifting of subsequent events towards what he ended up doing in at least some appreciable way but meh, what? If I hadn't, maybe he shoots himself in Q1 2022 instead of now? Who cares. Dude was on borrowed time no matter what anyone did or didn't do.

Anyway, here's my gay ass eulogy since I guess people are doing that. Ahem. Lowtax was funny in 2001. Now it's 2021 and he's not funny, but he's also dead which is actually kind of funny. One thing that many people may not know about Lowtax is that he was something of an artist; in fact, one of the last things he did was paint his living room walls with his grey matter. He died doing what he loved: putting things into his mouth that he shouldn't (Goldbelly pies, Ambien, tranny cock; a bullet, in this case). He is survived by his wives he beat, his kids that he blew his brains out rather than pay child support towards, his cancerous forums filled to the brim with angry, mentally ill autogynephiliacs and a bunch of shitposting Kiwis who will ironically post GOOFTROOP for weeks to come. I rate his suicide 5 Golden Man-in-a-dressBabies. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, unban Keep It Real. Amen.

 

[RurkerHivemind]

A bit late to comment but it seems California heard Josh's prayer to not only have Lowtax off himself but to also have Shadman arrested.

Can or should me give a prayer to make Cali Great/Based Again? Optimistic,I know.

His attitude alone also pissed people off, he had a whole "tough guy" persona and acted laughably arrogant considering how bad his movies were while also slamming other people's movies as terrible.

His smugness alone is one reason why people wanted to see him taken down a peg.

But that's also what made him interesting, he was essentially the last man who ever made genre B movies that thought he was making something awesome in that Ed Wood sense.

Rampage was the only movie I think he actually gave a fuck, and it shows. Does he still make movies? Googling reveals he may have a restaurant in Vancouver.

I kinda want to know how he feels a--actually, no. I really don't. Lowtax is dead, he isn't gonna care anymore.

He retired from movie making in 2016 and is focused on his restaurant.

I remember people saying at the time that Rampage was a surprisingly good movie and he kept trying to recapture that, but everyone stopped caring, by the time he retired it had been years since people cared about him.

A day off, a chilled drink in hand, a cozy blanket on my shoulders, and I just found out lowtest shot himself. It really doesn't get any comfier. RIP in piss.

 

[AmpleApricots]

It will also never not be amazing to me how he turned from a late 30s early 40s (and good looking for his age) to a rough looking late 50s-early 60s inside of five years. Drugs man.

My account is so old it was free.

You just keep owning yourself. Was this a habit you learned on the forum about forum about a forum about Something Awful you adminned, maybe paid money towards upkeep, where everyone hated you?

 

[Blewberry Nausea]

That was a rhetorical question, you’re autistic and I’m still MATI.

I gave you a rhetorical answer.
