Escapist: We're leaving politics at the door!
Also Escapist: We're hiring back a guy who has unironically called fellow Americans subhumans that impede a "superior future"

There's no way on God's green earth they don't know what Bob is like by now, so I can only assume they want him and are looking to court controversy.
Perhaps.
Speaking of new projects, I believe this will be Bob's last review for Geek.com before he goes back to The Escapist.
TL DR: He gives three stars, enjoyed it while be frustrated with it and thinks that he'll be generous to this now then later on, maybe because it has better reviews than both Black Panther and Last Jedi combined.
The Escapist: The Last Game ReviewerAll right, so let me see if I get this straight.
The Escapist was one of the only sites to not knuckle under to an Autism Fatwa from the usual suspects during GG. We have fucking proof of that shit, when pretty much every other journo in GJP was trying to force Greg Tito to lock down the Escapist. Jim Sterling and Bob Chipman attempted to force the entire site to angle against GG, Till they were told to ratchet down the Autism a few notches. Jim quit when he declared that in allowing GG discussion to happen at all on the site, that The Escapist had given a platform to madmen, and Bob kept up the Autism until he was inevitably fired. For a brief time, the site was rather enjoyable, with content other than Yahtzee worth checking out, but while this was going on, the usual suspects continued a war against the site, successfully getting several big game devs to blacklist some of the Escapist's new talent, which did nothing to help the site's economic woes.
Defy Media decides to sell it off when it can't turn a profit, whereupon Russ Pitts gets it.
After making a long song-and-dance about the site being apolitical, Russ makes clear that he feels the problem that The Escapist had was that it got overtaken by the Alt-Right, and not say, had two fat Social Justice types in its employ demand everyone cozy up to their viewpoint or fuck off. Pitts then rehires Moviebob, a man who has previously expressed a desire to ethnically cleanse centrist Democrats for enabling Republicans, and has declared that anyone who voted for Trump deserves condemnation.
.....The same Moviebob who, not forty-eight hours previous, posted a video demanding Disney re-hire James Gunn and in which he blamed Gunn's firing on Gamergate is the guy that the new purchaser of The Escapist thinks is going to be able to remain apolitical.
This is going to fail hilariously, and we will reap all the benefits.

Total bullshit ahoy.

He's complained about James Gunn longer than he has about the children held by ICE.

Gotta love that backtracking so he doesn't look thirsty.

Meanwhile the Chipman Youth who fled the forums the moment their pet mods got sacked and they were no longer allowed to passive-aggressively bait posters into getting themselves banned, are back in force. They're not yet confident enough in their turd-eating contest victory to proclaim a new autism caliphate, but rest assured it's coming.
I mean Bob is close to/over 40 and hasn't moved on from High School dudebros hassling him. Which he should have moved on from the second he got his high school diploma.Nothing that you said is a lie. Chipman's biggest flaw is in own ego, and refusal to move on. To him, being wrong is allowing those that harmed him to 1 upped him. Any rational man would lick his wounds and move on to things that are worth his time. Bob can't do that. He's such a zealot with a lust for revenge that his sociopathy has grown to become pure, unadultery vitriol. The fact he has an audience doesn't help matters since he'll run back any chance he has to get free ass kissing of his "unquestionable genius". He's the most bitter man I have the displeasure of ever meeting in my life. This " victory" over the escapist is such a short-sighted one. He doesn't realize it because he would have to admit fault on why he was fired in the first place. And like the saying goes; "Those that don't acknowledge history are doomed to repeat it."
And that's exactly what's going to happen. Bob will piss the audience of the escapist, and the next thing he'll have is a "Wishing well on your future endeavors" e-mail on his box. He's such a delusional little man, and be stubborn enough to act with such a god complex. When he's just a fat fuck that still lives in someone's basement. The day someone's stupid enough to give him power will be the day everyone will call this a cautionary tale of how one man's ego can lead to disastrous results. However, his health is bound to fail to him due to how his lack of caring about his well being. That's bound to bite him in the ass.
I do not wish him ill because it's pointless to do so. But his own end will come by his own stupidity, and he'll blame others for it.
Can anybody actually name a gen Y tech billionaire who has mentioned clinging to his Christmas 1987 toys in public, or is Bob projection-strawmanning harder than Jake Alley here?Total bullshit ahoy.

Bob: "I never write about politics directly..."
Also Bob: "Everything is political."
Which is it, Bob? You can't have BOTH. If politics pervades every aspect of society, to familial relationships, to the types of consumer products you use, to pop culture movements, to the historical events that inspired a movies' subject, to the very process by which movies are MADE, then there's no way you can't be directly political when it comes to criticizing movies or when it comes to doing nearly ANYTHING! According to you, even wiping your ass on the toilet is a political act! Your little "I never write about politics directly," statement is nothing more than you trying to have your cake and eat it too; to deflect blame from something you've done in the past and plan to do again in the future!
