Hey kids, who wants some SOK drama?


tl;dr someone named Doper made a bunch of silly tweets involving the SOK and they threw a hissyfit about it on their podcast and ended up having to privatize it because of the backlash
It did cause a bit of fire for them, but they listened to advice of a lot of people and pulled it. But let me tell you, they really didn't wanna do that to begin with. At least from the way Fred spoke with me about it
 
You know it's going to be the shitty reboot one. This is the guy who thought Conker was a Microsoft game on the N64, he knows jack shit about any classic game other than Street fighter 2, and even then that's still not much. Chances are he's not even aware the original even exists.
Sad thing is, I actually enjoyed the 2008 game, well, the PS3 updated version to be exact (granted, it did fix some of the annoyances of the original 360 and PC versions as well as adding in new content) though I'm probably alone in stating this lol.
If that game were to somehow win (extremely unlikely, but you never know) would Phil play the original 360 version or the updated PS3 one? PC is out because DSP suffers from bugged PC mechanics at the moment.
If it was the original 360 version, there's no checkpoint during the rather difficult drive to Central Park. PS3 version adds a checkpoint in the middle and it's easier as a result.

You mean this Fred?

People already made fun of these two tweets by swapping his avatar with DSP's. And it uncannily fit in. But yeah, it was a dumb thing to happen and i expected them to just not fall for it to begin with.
That said they did finish the show at ep 100 and i think that was the right thing to do before the drama finished them instead.
edit:
yea found it, it's pretty funny

I was amazed just how bad it got with people like drgnkiller sperging out and backseat damage controlling for them too. It was a shitshow.

Wait, SoK podcast is done?

I rarely ever listened to it, but still would be a bit sad.
Yeah it's finished. A few months ago Fred was talking to people in private about it. I was one of them and pretty much gave him feedback on things. For some reason he told me he might end it on 100th episode and what i thought about that. Fast forward to today and i guess they really went through with it.

It seems they're gonna continue with the Let's Endure, which I think is better tbh. The podcast was beginning to have too much drama. A commentary of a TIHYDP can't generate drama. Worst case scenario it becomes dull/stale and therefore they also stop that too.
 
I have a feeling that Mafia III might be Phil's next ragequit. The game requires you to do side content to unlock the main missions, and that was what did Far Cry Primal & Attack on Titan in for him. Having to liberate all of New Bordeaux, coupled with terrible views (as usual), could cause him to drop the game.
 
Has anyone called him out about how he keeps saying the "hardcore gaming season" is starting upon a new big title, but then says it didn't when the views tank?

I consider "HARDCORE GAMING SEASON" to be a lot like Revolution 60: It keeps getting pushed back further and further, and then is a complete and utter dud resulting in a peak of 10 people watching.
 
By watching TIHYDP, you're supporting criminal activity.:story::story::story:

No lawyer told this stupid, fat fuck that a clearly civil copyright infringement is a "crime." If it were a crime he could call the cops and have the guy arrested.

Phil is a dumb, fat pile of shit and a liar.
 
Updated nominations, the actual voting should start in a week:

AITD 2008 got another vote, surprisingly enough. Siren also got another vote.

BTW, DSP has stated he might not play Duke 3D after all.
...Make up your fucking mind DickstrokePhail, are you gonna play the damn game or not?
 
He'll probably just do it, and might be just doing this waffling to see if the fans want him to play it.
 
phils getting cocky playing on medium

Mafia 3 stealth is pretty damn easy. The AI's line of detection is super narrow. You can pretty much be standing right next to them and they won't see you. They also don't seem to react to any kill noises at all. I used a silenced handgun to kill a guy on the second level of a warehouse. He legit cried in agony and then fell over the rail and onto the main floor. Nobody fucking noticed. One guy was like 10 feet away from where he landed but since he had his back turned he didn't catch on. I'm sure Phil loves stuff like that but to me it really breaks you out of the game. Once I got a silenced weapon the smaller areas felt like the usual routine so now I go in guns blazing just because it's funner to move around and use the cover system.

The gun fights get a bit tougher as you go on. Early on in the game it's a joke but eventually the guys you go up against seem better armed and their numbers are larger.
