I wonder if HaloGAF sent him to troll the shit out of us. That'd be next level.
The "I've never watched anime" thing always struck me as odd considering his anime avatars and names etc. on Steam.
Edit: Going through his twitter I'd definitely say bored rich kid.
The anime thing started in my Silver Days when I met some chick who was a total anime dweeb. We decided it'd be funny to change our names to "Onii-Chan" and "Onee-Chan" and refer to ourselves that way. My name was that way for like 3 months, so it stuck. Same reason my knife is name "ILuvMyNeeChan", we both matching knives and named them matching names.
I just like the name a lot now to get rid of it for CS related stuff. I don't watch any anime other than Naruto, and Dragon Ball... and I really don't consider those making me an Anime Watcher, because what teen didn't grow up watching Naruto and Dragon Ball which were super popular in the USA being aired on Cartoon Network with all the other American Cartoons?
He won't. It's who he is, he picks terrible things and pretends to like them to the point of spending real money to troll/annoy people.
Xbox One, Sonic, Walshy, NiP, Karrigan, Renegades, etc. He says he's never watched anime yet spent $2 on all of his skins to give them an anime inspired names on top of buying an Akihabara Accept. He plays Counter Strike with a controller.
The only question left is why. Is he some rich kid bored as fuck? or does he genuinely get satisfaction from pretending to like shit things? Is he on some mission to try and convince people that contrary to popular belief, you can polish a turd?
No, I just like to share my interests and my hobbies with people with similar interest online to kill time.
I liked Sonic growing up, from ages 5-15 pretty much. I grew out of Sonic after Generations came out, and I realized his games really are mediocre, and it doesn't even matter because I have no interest in playing his games anymore. Sonic Boom and Lost Worlds are bad. I never talk about Sonic anymore unless its like an Adventure 3 thread, because I would be hype for that.
I still like the Xbox One, I just realized people are going to like the products they like and whats the point in arguing or trying to discuss preferences? Xbox One is the weaker system, Xbox One sells worse, whatever. Those are facts and I don't wanna discuss those, and I also don't want to discuss Console Wars stuff anymore, what's the point?
Is Walshy considered bad? I liked him as a Pro and he retired and I don't really keep up with him. Respect him for his Halo 3 time and that's it.
KARRiGAN is another guy I just have respect for, that's it.
I honestly don't know why I like the Renegades lmao. First time I saw them was the Cologne Major and they seemed cool, and then they seemed chill at That INVite with Virtus Pro, where the crowd was Australian and was really active and cheering for Renegades in the finals. It's a community thing, it's cool to see that so I decided to cheer for them as well. I kind of just like them because of that I guess. Overall I just want to see small teams get big and win stuff.
NiP I like for the personalities. I just like the players and I don't even really care how the perform. I really do believe on paper, GTR/F0rest are players who are on the same skill level as Olofmeister, Guardian, Devee, etc. I believe Xizt and Friberg are also players who are good enough that with GTR/F0rest, can win events. I just have faith in hope that they can win stuff. LIke I said, it's a community thing, my first interaction with Pro CS was NiP, and hearing the crowd chant and cheer for them, and then researching the team and seeing the players are great people, seeing their 87-0 history, seeing the fact that they attended the finals of every Major Event, how could I not be a fan of this team.

Look at how happy these guys are, look how emotional GeT_RiGhT gets over winning a Major Championship. How Heaton was hyped up hoping they'd win. It's just so likable.
So yeah, It's not some agenda or anything, I don't do it for satisfactions. If the exaggerated NiP fanboying is honestly getting that annoying from me though, I can stop it.
I haven't brought them up in a while until I saw MayMay trying to get me to react by bringing them up so much xD
