Holy fuck that's hilarious. You have any idea who did that? They deserve a fuckin' medal.

I forget his name but he also spent like $50 in games buying regular posters there AVs with MGS4 spoilers and causing meltdowns

VoidBurger is certain she would have gotten a job as a video "producer" if she'd stayed in New York (despite the fact that she was complaining about having problems with her editing software a few weeks ago and needing to get Chip to help her):

Also that's Vincent "Vinny" Caravella, Senior Editor for Giantbomb.com (East Coast) - which is a CBS subsidiary. No job he's posting is a job you just "walk" into.

Ironically, that might actually make it more likely that a SJW like VoidBurger would be hired, given Giant Bomb's leftist leanings and that they've run articles by people in SpergBurger's ratking.

I'd be surprised because most of the left leaning folks at GB are long gone and VoidBurger has nothing resembling talent. Jobs at GB are super-competitive because they're the "holy grail" and they're talking about working with enterprise-level production equipment and not a one-layer shitty let's play setup.

I dont... honestly see much SJW shit from giant bomb themselves.

 

[proteus4994]

When you make LPs you learn just enough about video editing and production to realize you know nothing about video editing and production

At least that should be the takeaway of any reasonable person but this is Void

They used to have a pair of really terrible left leaning folks that used to fawn over Zoe Quinn - Patrick Kleplk and Austin Walker. Patrick was with Giantbomb a long time but the vibe seemed to be for most people was "I like Patrick, but he's into some stupid shit".

They both fucked off to Vice last year. Good riddance.

I realized it about klepik, dont know who walker is tho

I could write about Austin Walker but his bio on Vice should probably tell you all you need to know about Austin Walker. His stay was short at Giant Bomb before he was offered the chance to literally run VICE's new gaming division.

Austin Walker is Editor-in-Chief of Waypoint and an erstwhile academic. He writes about the intersection of games, culture, labor, and community.

http://www.newstatesman.com/culture/2013/06/me-screen - Here's austin complaining that not having a skin slider in Animal Crossing is white privilege

He was a small time freelance writer and had a short stint at Giantbomb, VICE made him a huge offer primarily because he's black.

 

[BuckBumble]

Walker really loves playing the race card, except when people blacker than him point out he wouldn't stand out in a crowd of midwestern americans, or how he has a cushy San Fransisco writing job where he gets paid for doing nothing all day, etc... then he loooooves telling them their experiences don't count compared to his. But yeah he's a crazy weirdo who's gone violent ANTIFA as well and now owns the "gaming news" site with the largest amount of pathetic, whining examples of humanity available.

He basically brought every crazy and halfassed "guest" writer to GB. In his absence Alex Navarro has picked up the SJW slack, such as making a big fuss over Palmer Luckey during some end of the year GB award show when barely anyone remembers that (outside Gawker/Gizmodo stalkers anyway)

Also woah it's proteus. I saw you commenting on the lowtax shitshow a month back but didn't wanna mention what with SA members going crazy at the time it but I guess you never really identified as "SA people".

I hate to pile on with the questions but while I'm on the subject of "violent" people, has PsychedlicEyeball ever struck you as... unbalanced? He seems particularly more unhinged compared to the rest of the clique, so I'm surprised he didn't go off on you over saying SJW. Like, even slowbeef goes crazy whenever the word is mentioned, but I would not be surprised if PE is the kind to actually attack people over it.

I do identify as "SA people" but not in the way they've been branded nowadays. I've been there since 2001 so I've seen a lot of good and a lot of bad. During the bad years, I tended to stay away from the weird Marxists and posted mostly in the LP forum and later YOSPOS. So I'll defend SA because there's some pretty hilarious stuff there if you dig through the pile of shit for the diamonds, but the same is true for most forums. However, I won't defend some of the people there because you can like a community and not like everyone in it (or even most people in it). There have always been a healthy number of weirdos and social outcasts at SA. Hell, I'm one of them.

Regarding Psych, I was actually pretty good friends with him, we played a lot of games together (off-camera) and chatted a lot. No, he never struck me as unbalanced, honestly. He was always one of the more laid back people, whenever he'd get spun up about shit, it was usually in a joking manner. As far as the SJW stuff goes, I never said it back then because I don't even think that word was in my vocabulary until 2013-2014. Pretty much, we just talked about video games and it worked because video games are a fairly innocuous topic. So maybe he was always nuts about politics and stuff, we really didn't discuss it back then.

VoidBurger grab bag:
More anger at her lack of opportunity:

I have no clue what the [thing] they're referring to is:

This image also constitutes the first part of a peculiar 4-step process that occurs whenever she complains.

2. A concerned follower tries to offer her advice.
3. Void lashes out at them for daring to suggest ways to improve herself (sometimes while excusing her dickishness in the same breath).

4. Thoroughly emasculated, the follower meekly acquiesces.

Also, she's been struggling with Japanese lessons on Rosetta Stone, which also demonstrates the "getting pissy at people trying to help" issue:

Complete with pithy excuse:

And finally, some political retardation:

I like that the dumb bitch cited the Wikipedia article on "mnemonic," accusing people of being ignorant, and then, with the url with the word in it right on the fucking screen, still misspelled it "mneumonic."

Christ what a dipshit.

 

[BlueChan]

Gamergate lol

GamerGate started in 2014, though (and she'd been sperging about it for about as long), so I'm not sure.

Checking her Twitter, the only thing of note that happened around this time last year was her repeatedly sperging over Imgur comments that embodied wrongthink, which wouldn't be enough to depress anyone (even considering SJWs' tendency to fall to pieces over the littlest of shit).

 

[Tonberry]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought her videos usually had little to no editing whatsoever? Her SH2 vids rarely had more than a few cuts here and there or a few words showing up on the screen, and she spent about two weeks working on each part.
What makes her think she'd be able to edit videos on a professional level?

 

[Ravana]

She thinks adding windows movie maker subtitles is professional editing

Why do anti-Trump people hate Uber so much?

Why do anti-Trump people hate Uber so much?

They kept their service going at the JFK Airport while regular taxis stopped in protest of Trump. Also, apparently the CEO was in his advisory council (and recently left after the inevitable backlash). All pretty dumb if you ask me.

Speaking of dumb Trump protests:

And as a bonus, twitter fighting:
