I really miss that guy

edit: top of the page... Alexis I mean.

The best thing about that video is Jeff basically doing an NWA impression in the interview.

Fair enough. I read his tweet with more the firing in mind and not the story in general.

Also: Nintendo of America really is the shittiest, aren't they?

You're mistaken if you think this would have been handled differently at any other major game company. That was the point of Patrick's tweets: the game industry has created a culture of silence around these targeted harassment campaigns that enables them to continue.

Aww man Jason has Ranma 1/2 anime on his shelf and I was going to talk about both how bad and great that show was but we're still under an anime moratorium aren't we?

Like when Stephen Toulouse and Adam Orth had to quit MS due to online abuse including violent threats against their families.

Yes,there's an anime thread for all your anime needs!

GB should consider rescinding Super Mario Maker's GOTY.

Perhaps a meaningless gesture, but if anyone knows what it's like to be publicly sold out by a spineless employer, it's Jeff Gerstmann.

Scoop 'em Patrick. Give them the grill.

In his case, he was out the door anyways, what with the "openly stating unfinalized and unreleased company policy" on his record.

i'd be surprised if gbwest even talks about it on the bombcast

The real shame is that east already recorded their cast.

Think GB got to preview Homefront: The Revolution? A bunch of outlets have preview coverage of it up today. Would like to hear what GB has to say about it.

They talked about the Chris Pranger firing once, yeah? Maybe I'm thinking about Beast.

In any case I'm positive Beast will get into it, and West better.

Is that confirmed? I always assumed they did it on Thursdays.

They do normally, but recorded on Wednesday this week. Probably because Alex is out tomorrow and Friday. Confirmed on Austin's twitter.

It would be a shame if this were written off as a Nintendo problem and not an industrywide one. That's exactly what's going to happen isn't it?

Their discussion of Pranger getting fired was idiotic and reductionist, as is that article. He wasn't fired simply for being on a podcast. Dude overshared to a ridiculous degree and made a lot of people in the company sound like fucking crazy people. I don't think, however, that Beast will screw up reporting on a victim of harassment, but I've been endlessly disappointed so much already.

From Patrick's article:

Nintendo never did much to explain why it was making these changes, and critics looked for a boogeyman, finding one in Rapp who had a long Twitter history of supporting feminist issues (and an equally long one of seeming to be a huge Nintendo fan long before she worked for the company).

But we do know this: Nintendo was publicly silent while one of their employees was harassed and smeared online over something she did not do. That’s a fact. It’s not in dispute. Nintendo watched Rapp become the center of a witch hunt and did nothing publicly to defend her. Despite my requests for comment, the company said nothing. As it turns out, maybe that silence said everything.

Nintendo should have come out and addressed these changes instead of letting it flounder in the wild. I wonder if she ever informed Nintendo of the harassment she received because of her relationship to them. Grade A bullshit if they didn't lift a finger if she did.

Y'all.. how has Giant Bomb Presents been thus far? I'm out of the loop.

I've enjoyed them, it's an interesting window into some of the people in the gaming industry (and their thought processes / perspectives) that I wouldn't otherwise see.

fwiw, I actually think the first game is legitimately kind of funny, unlike Jeff.

What, Love for Sail? I don't really care for the games (although the idea of having to go through bullshit Sierra puzzles and all that just to get laid is pretty funny), but I thought that was regarded as one of the better ones.

You should check out this thread and see if edgework can help or if a user has already asked about the issue you're having: http://www.giantbomb.com/forums/bug...oad-video-or-wheres-my-videos-1794099/?page=1

It seems like he's extra busy right now but if he can help he will.

If you are getting the Jeff error message, go to the Bug Reporting forum on the site and check out the stickied thread about it. If it is just Video Buddy acting up, try logging in and out and restarting.
