I agree with Mik on many things, but disagree with him on South Park. Coming from a guy who's only watched a handful of episodes, it's the most fun I've had with a game this year and it's easily the funniest game I've ever played. It's right on my level with the amount of depth I can take from a turn-based RPG before my eyes glaze over.

If you'd like to hear me talk about Adult Swim Games and what we're doing there, then check out the latest episode of the excellent indie game podcast bigsushi.fm - http://bigsushi.fm/episode-142-adult-swim-games/
They've got a lot of great episodes in their back catalog (as well as a bunch of side-podcasts that aren't just interviews) that are also worth checking out.

And if you'd like to hear me talk--in disgusting, nauseating detail--about my vasectomy, check out this five-year-old episode of the Lunchcast.

So the P1 Podcast is one of the few to make me take a 180' of an opinion on a person.

I haven't even changed this much on Gies.
Wanting people to have reactions and then treating all of them like children is poor form.

And really I was just making a crack about how someone could think that Sewart hasn't played a shit ton of Genesis. I guess she's gotten enough crap from idiots online that she's a bit on edge about such things, but yeah, it was an odd escalation. Although I was very amused by the "I get paid to write about games so ha!" response.
This is the sorta crap I'm talking about. Don't do this, man.

Calling her a cunt or *insert gendered insult* just adds fuel to her whole "people hate me because I'm a woman with an opinion!" thing.
Also, I need a link to "fuck off dad."

I wasn't a fan of her writing before but the behavior on display in this and the following tweets really makes me wonder how she even has a job in game journalism. Saying " I thought their magazine was shut, anyway" seems extremely disrespectful coming from someone who writes about games for a living. I'm honestly surprised there hasn't been a thread started specifically about this set of tweets.
The high stakes world of video games writing is a very strange place sometimes...
A lot of people want video games to be taken seriously as a medium, and somehow that involves revising the 'canon' and sweeping older games under the rug. It might be a trite thing to say but you don't see people dismiss films like say, The Great Train Robbery or Broken Blossoms, without commending their contributions to cinema as a whole. We can also say that they are 'good' films from the Silent Era from a direction, performance etc. point of view.
Not much has changed since the first Sonic games, games are still sold on the back of their technical muscle and they still function in mostly the same manner. It's perfectly fine to not enjoy something in this day-and-age but it's another to say that something was never good at all, there are plenty of games from that era that were never good (Bubsy) but Sonic ain't one of 'em.

I sent her an email to clear things up and all is good.

I love that the first reply is calling you and greg "dildos". But Good job Phil you adorable bastard.

That's the digital equivalent of knocking on your petulant daughter's door, sitting on the foot of her bed, and having a heart-to-heart in which you secretly cement yourself as the "cool" parent.
I'd like to apologize for that language. Guess I was the see you (etc)

gendered slur, evokes the thoughts of penises :/
Have you ever heard her on a podcast? Or, alternately, have you ever heard the sound of ferrets fucking? No thanks.

That podcast was an absolute train wreck.
Eww.
Haha oh geez that was her on GB? I never heard it but people hated her attitude so much they commented on it to the point where Alexander actually came out and played the misogyny card. I remember people getting mad about that. An entire fight about how if she had been a dude no one had hated her and people coming out just to say annoying drunk idiots are annoying drunk idiots despite gender etc. Wow. Amazing.
I live a sheltered (read: lonely and depressed) life so I'm unaware of this. All the drunk women I've spent time with were way more tolerable than I could ever wish for. It is, however, a fact of life that annoying people get amplified by alcohol.
Speaking of being drunk I kinda now want to see a podcast with a sober Mike.

I think that Leigh Alexander gets judged a lot harsher than the Giant Bomb guys, but they also didn't go bananas there.

Not me. I become sexier and more eloquent, also a better dancer.
From a listeners point of view they actually could. What if all of Phil's jokes are meant to be appreciated only while intoxicated? Like a dog whistle really. To us sober folk it's nothing but all the drunk listeners are cracking a smile or even laughing when he tries to be funny.

You guys are so adorable.
fuck you! Blargh!
You guys should still record shit and send it to me. I'll edit it and upload it. No claps needed and if you pass 60 minutes I promise to add laugh track for Phil's jokes, chip tunes music from Sega classics and a podcast cover art of Arthur Gies sucking a dick. Episode 388.1: Cock D'état
Thinking of Greg: Wolf Among us season pass -40% just as episode 3 out of 5 comes out.
Tee hee
Other recently discussed P1P topics that have had news this week:
- Outlast DLC 'Whistleblower' out May 6
- Last of US release for PS4 summer 2014 (1080p and aiming for 60fps)
- Xbone fighting game Killer Instincts gets a new character. Patch is 6.8GB (ROFL)
Poo poo CJ for ruining the show this week. Only news from this week that will bleed into the next proper episode is CJ plugging the games coming out from his stupid company. And none of those games is fucking Volgarr the Viking 2 either. Just some stupid baby game bullshit.
