Not a good day for Jezzy boy.

 

[KyoZz]

It's Chris Avellone... I don't need him to tell me this to see it, and he's just as pathetic.

its just hard hopium from fanboys.

 

[Team Andromeda]

He's spot on about that German crybaby twat

 

[TintoConCasera]

Chris Avellone is based. I still remember how he encouraged people to call a lawyer if they ever felt that they were discriminated when applying for jobs at Obsidian after all that shit with Avowed.

Bless him.

I don't know these folks, but whoever the Chris guy is, just straight faced fucked that fat dude, without any prior warning.

Someone's going to HR about having their face done in by some dude. Hey may sue the Chris dude for unwanted contact as he straight ran through the fat man.

That's some 80s shit right there.

Do you remember the case of false accusations against him?

He is a true gentleman which is a rarity and a huge disadvantage in the current climate

 

[DrFigs]

I'm not really following his point here. Of course Jez Cordan is a shill, but how is reporting positively on obsidian's game bad for obsidian? it seems like he was trying to help.

 

[Punished Miku]

Whats the supposed problem with Avowed? Genuinely asking. I dont ever see these shills unless their stalkers post them here.

I played Avowed and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Yeah and man am I glad he came out on top. We've already lost a lot of great talent to shit like that, like Jeremy Soule.

 

[Nocty]

all of them are clowns

Xbox is just mess currenntly. What a fucking mess indeed.

 

[Draugoth]

I mean, how much do they get paid to dickride for Xbox? I would probably do the same

 

[adamsapple]

Avellone or Jez/Klob

 

[Unfortunatecookie]

Adults with Jez Corden's behavior profile -- consistently wrong but never admit to it, seeking validation from complete strangers, needlessly aggressive at anyone with a different opinion -- are, genuinely, mentally ill people.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

When Xbox dies, maybe Jez can pursue a career as the Iranian information minister

What's wrong with Avellone guys?

He also blocks anyone who even mildly disagrees with him. Just get off the internet if you can't handle the heat.

Jez pretending he has sources anywhere is freakin' adorable.

Fucking Jez......







From this thread

Thats all accurate? Is Avellone, a respected writer, shitting the bed so hard he's making Jez look entirely reasonable? I mean they literally rebooted Avowed from a multiplayer game to a single player game which was a big improvement. Everyone knows this and its not from some source. They literally said all this in interviews and in the dev direct on video.

 

[Topher]

What's wrong with Avellone guys?

I'd like to know as well.

 

[The Cockatrice]

and he's just as pathetic.

Explain why.

 

[Loomy]

What's wrong with Avellone guys?

There's a timeline of events in this article.

tl;dr - accused of sexual misconduct, sued for libel and defamation. Won, got a settlement and apologies from his accusers. Apologies saying they were never assaulted/harassed by him.

Chris Avellone secures 7-figure settlement from his accusers who now say “he deserves a full return to the industry” | Game World Observer

Women who accused Chris Avellone of sexual misconduct have now dropped their claims. The video game writer will receive monetary compensation as part of a confidential settlement between the parties.

What's wrong with Avellone guys?

Avellone got fucking buried for the most pathetically weak-sauce "me too" shit imaginable.

I'm sure he has a whole closet full of knives he's just waiting to bury in the backs of people in the media...

 

[Skifi28]

He just took the wind right out of his shills.

 

[BennyBlanco]

can't imagine getting dunked on by one of the GOATs

 

[Tajaz2426]

Someone spill the beans, who is the Aviline, guy? Why does he hate the fat man? Is there some kind of history, like they were lovers, or possibly the fat man ended up with the guys wife?

This is now Jerry Springer, or Days of Our Lives and I'm tuned in.

Don't need to read the article when the synopsis in that thumbnail is enough.

How is Chris shitting the bed? Jez said he never reported on Avowed and Chris linked the article that Jez wrote on the game, proving he's a liar.

 

[near]

I'm seriously worried about Jez's mental health right now.

 

[BaneIsPain]

Avellone was right.

 

[Punished Miku]

How is Chris shitting the bed? Jez said he never reported on Avowed and Chris linked the article that Jez wrote on the game, proving he's a liar.

Thats fine. What's wrong with the reporting though? I was genuinely asking. Whats wrong with the game? I am not following what Avellone is even talking about. My other post was in reply to the second collection of tweets. Everything he said there was basic, accurate stuff publicly known about the game.

 

[VAVA Mk2]

Water is wet

 

[Topher]

I'm guessing Avellone is talking about the lack of reporting on the pronouns in Avowed and the director who got into a spat with Elon Musk. He posted the article on Avowed to show that Jez did indeed cover Avowed.

 

[Skifi28]

I'm seriously worried about Jez's mental health right now.

Now? Dude has been in need of some serious help for years. Or at least going out and touching some grass.

Of course you think it's Avellone shitting the bed.

Fuck me, some of you are beyond help.

 

[adamsapple]

I don't even know why he tagged klobrille lol, that dude didn't even do any mouth-piecing today, his tweet was actually pretty decent.

 

[damidu]

honestly pretty much should be the highlight of Jez's pathetic existence

 

[Punished Miku]

What is wrong with the reporting on Avowed? I want to understand your point. No one had yet explained it in this thread. I can't agree with something I dont even know.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

I see Jizz Gordon mentioned here a lot but who is Krobille or whatever? I had a visual image in my head of who I thought it was but that was Destiny.

Of course Avellone is right but that kind of just means Jezz is doing his job I guess I assume he is getting paid by MS, whether it's public or under the table.

 

[GHG]

I don't even know why he tagged klobrille lol, that dude didn't even do any mouth-piecing today, his tweet was actually pretty decent.

Because it's not just about today.

All of this isn't happening just because of today. It's happening because of a long list of things that have been allowed to fester over the last decade, and the likes of Klobrille and Jez are complicit in all of that.

Avellone was a respected writer in terms of his ability. I have no idea what his standing is in the industry these days after the allegations against him.

But his point, that I was reinforcing, is Jez lying about never having covering Avowed. He clearly has, and he's played at least 1 version of it.

This is now Jerry Springer, or Days of Our Lives and I'm tuned in.

Chris Avellone is a writer and director who worked on Fallout New Vegas, Knights of the Old Republic II, Icewind Dale, Alpha Protocol, and many, many other games. He was falsely accused of sexual assault and semi-blacklisted from the industry, but is now fully back working on new games again.

Jez is a "journalist" who has provieded cover for all the mistakes Microsoft has made over the years, which annoyes Chris, as MS owns at least three of the franchises Chris used to work on.

 

[adamsapple]

Social media mouth-pieces have little to no bearing on these corporate decisions.

Not sure what good tagging individuals does in the same breath as wishing those who get laid off today well. Just comes off very petty on Avelone's behalf

Thats fine. Jez is wrong about lots of shit. Just the other day he was retarding over the Laura Fry person working on Xbone. I genuinely don't know why anyone follows him. What I'm interested in is this reaction from Avellone which I still don't understand.

 

[IntentionalPun]

Avowed is great though.... my current personal GOTY.
