Brianna Wu / John Flynt - DEAGLE NATION STILL LIVES

[ln18]

My minor in polisci, https://archive.is/4XwUp
"When I was getting my minor in Polisci, I learned a lot about political psychology. People are not rational, though we like to think we are. The way the brain works is we decide how we feel based on an emotional heuristic, and then rationalize it after the fact. You fit the facts to come in line with your emotional reaction, to lessen cognitive dissonance - which is distressing and confusing. I think it's pretty obvious that this is what's going on with you."

Just a little more evidence on the apple fanboyism.

Going through these threads her educational insecurity is so palpable it's almost sad.

Enrolled in college in Nov. 2010, https://archive.is/0bqIV
"My first class today was a polisci class in feminism, so it's like 99 percent women. I pulled out my MBA to take notes, and immediately half the girls in there were asking to look at my MBA from me and play with it. It was crazy - I've never seen such a response to a computer before. Apple is going to sell a million of these.

"Of course, you can have any opinion you want. But why hate Facebook so strongly? I <3 Facebook. It's an amazing tool.

There's a girl I went to college with. She lives in Seattle and works for Amazon's cloud division. I totally would have lost track of her after I graduated, but we're going to hang out on my next trip. It's so great for keeping up those friendships.

2009 NYR: Get Into A Good Grad School, https://archive.is/T1hyk
:1. Continue to expand my art career - get more magazine covers.
2. Expand my daily run from 6.8 miles in an hour to 7.5 miles in an hour.
3. Make my abs as awesome as Jenny McCarthy's in C&C RA3.
4. Get into a good graduate program
5. Learn more Maya, and master After Effects.

SKG"

Took C++ to graduate, https://archive.is/cPQES
"I'll never be as good as say, Spacer, but I'm not bad at this. I wouldn't say it's hard. I had to take a few classes in C++ to graduate, and found objective C easy to pick up. There are some fundamental paradigms that take a while to get, like the Model-View-Controller way of dividing up the code.

Since being a graphic artist and animator is my first, best skill (as you can see from my website), I chose to specialize in the Quartz Composer side of things. You can see my work in quite a few apps with my former SF bay employers. But - I'll leave the hard coding to people like Spacer. When I realize the amount of work that went into his deliveries app, it really boggles my mind.

If you want to get started, I'd really recommend "Beginning iPhone Development - Exploring the iPhone SDK." It's a really well written book, though the exercises ramp up in difficulty quickly. If you have experience with programing, you'll probably have an Aha moment where you realize it's something you understand.

Mac shit for Grad School, https://archive.is/S9Lfk
"Will Final Cut work even with this? I highly doubt it. I'm not sure it's even 64 bit - though I didn't own it back when I had my MacPro.

I most certainly am not going to buy it. Honestly, my iMac i7 is really good for my Maya work, and my MBP i7 can handle all my PS work. I'm at a point where I have all the power I need. I'm going to wait a year on my main machines - though if the Macbook Air runors are true, I will certainly buy one of those for grad school."

November 2010 and women are all flocking around Wu to check out the latest Apple product? Bullshit. Just going out on a limb here but I imagine most people (women or men) would care way more about taking notes during a class than what a classmate is doing. Plus, it was 2010. People bringing small laptops to class to take notes wasn't uncommon (source: myself as a person in college at that time).

Believe it or not, Brianna, not all women get so worked up over the latest tech toys that theywould go near the class freak.

 

[GREEDY FIREMAN]

Since being a graphic artist and animator is my first, best skill (as you can see from my website)...

I nearly choked when I read this. She was really proud of that?

 

[Sarcastic Username]

Is this claim for going to grad school something new we've uncovered with the IGN forums? Has she ever tried to hint which school it was?

Obviously a load of crap, but it would be nice to get the specific school to deny that she attended. There are a lot in the Boston area so we can't just ask all of them.

 

[Jaimas]

When I get back, In18 has given me like 20 links for the "claimed to have a degree" pile.

That said: If she did it on IGN, she did it elsewhere. Find it, Kiwis.

Guise, I just realized something else from this essay.

One Christmas, my mother gave me $1,000 to buy a PS1 Net Yaroze development kit. My deeply religious parents rarely understood my interests, but they always supported them financially. I became obsessed with uncovering the secrets of developing a game, trying to figure out how to bring the girls I had been drawing since I was eight into the digital worlds of Terra, Celes, and Rydia. Fifteen years later, my wildest dreams are becoming a reality.

Flynt helpfully links us straight to the Wikipedia page, saying that the Net Yaaroze came out in 1997. Given his actual birth year, he was 20 when this happened, not a kid.

How can someone so experienced in lying be so terrible at creating fiction?

Because this story is a little more than mere fiction. While I have no proof and this is pure sperg, she certainly inserted far more of herself into this story than most would. As an amateur writer myself, I'm certain most authors do insert sections of themselves into their stories, yet Wu did something quite different. Rather than self insert herself (Himself at the time) she decided to insert the person she WANTED to be, pretty and clever and, most importantly of all, the victim. I was stunned when I saw that Cyberbullying bit in Sub Chapter 9, it sounds like something Wu would say at this very moment.

From her standpoint, this was her Sonichu, a way to escape being a talentless geezer who wasted lots of money on things he simply wasn't very good at. Yet, as the saying goes, she seems to have transcended escapism and become the mask, something OPL certainly never did (Though he blurred the fiction and reality at points). If anything, Brianna seems to have taken on Brea's personality (Or attempted to, poorly) and been sucked into his own delusion so deeply that you'd need have the US fishing fleet to pull him out.

My two pence (We don't use cents in Blighty, fuck your Americentric sayings you shitlords!) and it's all pure hyperbole.

 

[Norvic]

Woah, have we seen the site from that IGN link before?

This part is amusing. It's a real shame archive.org sucks at preserving all the images from Wu's various websites.

 

[UselessRubberKeyboard]

Of all the batshit insanity that surrounds John Flynt, the ego so big it has its own gravity, the paranoia, the crappy 'game', the endless Twitter bitchfests and a list of lies longer than the Bayeux tapestry, I just end up with one thing:

John, shut the fuck up and let the women speak.

 

[Peace and Harmony]

18 is my new number to take the natural log of.

Just wanted to pop in and say that all's been quiet on the Twitter front today (sorry if that's already been pointed out, this thread has been growing so quickly). It could be coincidence, of course, but I want to believe that John is suffering from an event horizon of anal devastation right now. Keep up the good work, everyone.

Best part of it all is that we're only going to find more. If there is one thing that isn't in short supply on the Internet, it's proof of Brianna being a liar and a horrible person.

 

[Count groudon]

Fucking hell, is John just physically incapable of acting like a functional human being? From the looks of all that's come up it seems like Wu has literally done absolutely nothing even remotely productive aside from routinely fellating herself.

Well at the very least it confirms that she hasn't changed at all in the past 20 something years, which is both hilarious and somewhat disturbing.

 

[GleamingTheQ-Bert]

Ok, you know how the Will / Jaden Smith vehicle After Earth is like the epitome of stupid, impossible sci-fi character names with Cypher Rage?

"Britney, Rook, Taro and Tselinoyarask had gotten seats in the special V.I.P. section."

Apparently, before Wu was referencing the Metal Gear Solid infamy of Tselinoyarsk, the location.....

....she was actually naming a character Tselinoyarsk.

Lemme try:

"Cristina, Knight-to-Queen's-Pawn, Jicama, and Constantinople had gotten seats in the General Admission section."

Hey, this is fun!

Dear God, even Chris usually stuck with shit that made for valid names.

This is from a few years ago. It's amazing how different he was when not trying to push an oppression angle. They spend a few minutes talking about women's issues but quickly move on.

At 2:10
Brianna says that he's never had a development job before, but has done web development, freelance illustration work, programming jobs, sysadmin jobs, but this is his first game development job.

At 3:30
"I didn't know anything about Maya"

At 20:20
They spent $2600 modelling Holiday, so they had to re-use her model for the others, and cut out the male character.

At 28:00
"I grew up loving Sailor Moon."

36:30
"We don't have a full Unreal license since that costs a half-million dollars."

44:20
How do you make a game discoverable?
"We have an employee named Jenna Hopsteam(sp?). Everyone out there thinks they are a game designer. I certainly did before I started this."

46:40
"Have you seen 'What if Mario was released today?'"
Yes, that was our question to you.

57:00
"I'm extremely active on ABN."
(Does she say IGN? Couldn't quite make it out.)
(Amanda makes it sounds like ADN.)

Yes - evidence stands that Wu literally doesn't know how emotions work.

Geeez Wu, try a little harder! Next you'll be tellin' us you've got an employee called MarySue Bondgirl.
