They didn’t mean to use that language, and they know that it was inappropriate for them to say in a court filing, or ever. It was just A Heated Gamer Moment, and they’re asking for your forgiveness.

While I can’t say this is $44B worth of entertainment, I’m absolutely having a blast watching a narcissistic billionaire do his best “Sideshow Bob walking onto every rake” impression while taking something like the blue checkmarks, the solution to a verification problem, and turning it into the problem it was designed…

And then, when they finally put in a ticket it’s missing like half the required information. 

‘not the toxicity that inhales so much oxygen out of the room’

I’ve not even a Halo speedrun follower but I was aware of LASO (or whatever they called it prior to MCC) being a thing for a long time. Jervalin did this run on the OG Halo 2 on Xbox. He was one of the few guys attempting this who prefers to do it on Xbox > MCC. He has his reasons and I guess it worked out. But this…

I was going to say they crossed the line so far they disappeared over the event horizon, but your description is much more accurate.

Guys...I don’t want to cause a panic here, but I’m *starting* to think gaming has a male toxicity problem...

A real quick catch-up for anyone who feels behind on this:

Once in third grade, my father off-handedly mentioned that under the Constitution, we didn’t actually have to stand up and do the Pledge of Allegiance. So me being the third grade dink that I was, the next day I stayed seated for the Pledge at my local private school, and was promptly sent to the pastor and the…

I’m a simple man, with simple wants: a modern-day “X-Wing/TIE Fighter” game, preferably with Lawrence Holland back on board. At the very least, remaster or remake the two original games.

Shit, I would put more of that statement behind people like fucking Richard Pryor than anyone.

This was the largest aspect ratio Disney could afford. Should they, therefore, be made the subject of fun?

The gag with tall guy in the little car picking up Nelson by his head isn’t going to make a bit of sense now.

To add onto d), the way these guys describe a video game punishment is absolutely ridiculous.

i watched the offending video out of curiosity, dont know or care too much about fortnite and just wasting time during a render, BUT watching the video and his pure joy in cheating and getting kills contrasts BEAUTIFULLY to his tears about the punishment. his ban is deserved, cheating is one thing, but making…

Man those quotes are such garbage.

It’s fair and deserved. I am glad EPIC is sticking by their decision. Cheaters in these games ruin the fun for everyone. That kid can go play APEX or whatever other game until he gets banned for cheating in that game.  Fortnite isn’t the only game out there.

This is no different than anyone else being fired from their job for doing something stupid or against company policy.  If streamers and Youtubers want to be taken seriously as professionals, they need to actually act professional.  This guy wants to have his cake and eat it, too.

Don’t do the crime, if you can’t do the time.
