For real. Chalk it up to his incredible luck, because a less fortunate person would be unemployed and paying out legal fees for the rest of his life.

It's telling that I was enjoying this upf more when there wasn't a f2p mobile game taking up part of the screen

Brad might not be a whale...
...but he's quite the catch.

People cheering the potential closure of Kotaku and people losing their jobs in that Gawker trial thread is real, real gross. Like, Gawker as a whole is a shitshow, but that reaction seems misplaced.
I think the worst that would happen would've been the ban from major industry events. That could've totally happened and would've been 100% justified.

This has been like a UPF that people would joke about happening, and now it's actually a reality.

A video game localisation stand at the mall is quite the niche business!

It's basically a gdc stream wearing upf as its skin which means they've monetized the gdc stream

Poor Patrick, just as he finally *got* wrestling it ends with wrestling getting him
That was one of the best things I've ever heard.
It's not like youtube is the one shutting down, brother.

There's an alternate universe where Rich never left Gamespot and was a founding member of Giant Bomb. I want to live in that universe.

He's at PlayStation now, catering to Kessler's every whim! He's traded up and Dan realises it's all funnee in hindsight!!
"I say button..."
Nah it's pretty funny.
It's kinda funny because nobody did lose their job, but it's super fucked because of how easily someone could have.

cuts needed to be made to fit in Brad's iPhone game.

Did...Brad just make it digitally rain?
Pranks that really fuck with the lives with others really aren't fun in my book. It wasn't mean spirited in intent, obviously, but in execution it was a horrible thing to do.

This isn't trackmania. There's no jurassic Park dubstep

People take shit too seriously. I'm sure if it would have went bad Dan would feel sifferently. 8 years later it's pretty easy to look at it as funny.

Your thirties are somewhat filled with reminiscing about all the bullets you dodged in your twenties.

This is missing key elements of Trackmania experience that I need.
I assume Kotaku will be one of the blogs that lands on its feet somehow. Either Gawker makes it out somehow, sells them or they get shuttered and someone creates a new blog from the ashes. Must be horrible with the uncertainty, though. I feel for those people screwed by this. Hopefully their next employer aren's human piles of garbage.
An asshole thing to do is still an asshole thing to do even if you're lucky and avoid the consequences.

I hope Patrick has been submitting pitches to Austin; he's going to need a gig soon.
jesus, don't look at the replies to this tweet. Some people are real dicks.

Sonic?
i mean, i don't know what was going on at harmonix at the time but it seems illogical to me that there was ever a serious chance of a firing. like, no harmonix employee actually did anything wrong in that whole affair (or anything, period), it was entirely on dan and his friend. what would even be the reasoning for the layoff?
If relationships with talent go sour, for whatever reason, the people in charge of maintaining those relationships are often on the chopping block.

Real interested in trying that beta this weekend.
Also, it's probably safe to say that Dan was hamming up his reaction.
