When you say it like that, it seems reasonable, but I think that Beer's abrasive style prevents him from making a serious point like that. Like I said, Fish is not exactly a role model, but I believe Beer deserves criticism as well.

Correct. I just got around to watching Beer's rant, and it isn't because they refused to comment, but because of the way they went about it.

Hell, at first I thought Marcus Beer had gone on and initiated contact with Phil Fish on Twitter, and that this was what caused the meltdown, but that wasn't even it. Fish sent a…

BlowFish. They should form a company together.

So because this guy is a douche nozzle everyone is just supposed to take his bullshit or ignore it?

I stopped reading when you said that they just declined to comment. That was clearly not the case. I don't want to defend Beer here, since I think that when you're on fucking gametrailers, you've got a rep to uphold, but this was not a case of just saying no comment.

The problem that I feel with your expressed opinion is that Phil Fish doesn't owe us anything. It's an industrial mentality, and Fish isn't a corporation. Child crying for attention? Maybe, but on the same note you could say that he's a man who tried to give out his artistic vision, and got tired of the struggles that…

You're a 'tosspot'. See what I did there?!

it's not abuse. he didn't set him down and say "you're an asshole" or "all your games (and those made by people of your ethnicity) suck." fish was under no obligation to watch or listen to him, to acknowledge that he said anything, or to care at all.

The point is I started learning to let things go by when I was much younger.

Of course he offered criticism. Jeez, did you even watch the segment? I swear the majority of people attacking Beer haven't each watched it. He pointed out that journalists rely on developers for news, just as much as developers rely on journalists for the promotion of their games. He pointed out that Fish and Blow…

If Marcus Beer said anything like that about a major developer he would have been fired since Gametrailers is paid by the larger companies

I'll never understand why people think being an asshole is a bad thing if you do it once, but if being an asshole is your thing and you do it constantly, it's fine. If you choose to be vitriolic and abrasive in order to draw attention to yourself, you assume the risk that the attention you draw will not be the kind of…

He's known for that? That is assuming people even know who the fuck he is. As far as I'm concerned, and many people I've talked to, he is an unknown person acting like a dick. For him to get all pissy because someone in the industry doesn't want to comment on a rumor is just hilarious.

This is what happened yesterday.

No, it boiled down to both of them acting like idiots. Assuming Fish doesn't get some of the blame, just because Beer made the first shot, means nothing.

Just when you thought it was safe to play in the water...

Only a few are brave enough to hunt the great Sharknado.

Probably for the heatsink to avoid the Red Ring of Death problems the Original 360 had.

Am I the only one that wishes this *wasn't* an Assassin's Creed game? I mean, all the pirating, naval combat, whaling/fishing, etc look awesome but I've got tired of the Assassin's Creed formula at this point and am not looking forward to having all that stuff mixed into what looks like some awesome gameplay systems.

My suggestion for your Pacific Rim fix.
