50 Cent to start reading Joystiq
by Ben Gilbert 
{ Feb 24th 2009 at 4:50PM }
Speaking directly to me, he said, "You're from Joystiq.com, right?" To which we responded, "Yup, Ben from Joystiq.com." Now pay really close attention to this next part, 'cause this is where it gets good.
"Ben, I'm gonna watch what you write and I'm gonna find yo ass!"
Oh my! Come for the interview transcription (which is coming up later today) and stay for your game's review!

This is the best thing I've read all day. Watch yourself Ben. If 50 is as deadly as his game suggests then you're in for some trouble.
Palfuris @ Feb 24th 2009 7:37PM
Actually, I think he is only in trouble if his skull is encrusted in diamonds. You know Fiddy takes that for realz.....
BxGT @ Feb 24th 2009 4:53PM
If he actually reads joystiq on a daily basis "I will buy his game".
Duke @ Feb 24th 2009 5:15PM
Me too. This is the challenge 50 - you start hanging out with us and we will support your gaming venture.
The Baron @ Feb 24th 2009 6:40PM
The extra twenty or so game sales he'll get from us will make it all worth it!
The seven million he'll get from the rest of the world are great and all, but they got no class, you feel me?
arrrgh @ Feb 24th 2009 4:53PM
hahahahhaahhaahahahahahahahaha aaaaahahahahha
gold
arrrgh @ Feb 24th 2009 4:54PM
be careful ben
he wants yo ass ;)
better buy some flowers and candy?
Kamizar @ Feb 24th 2009 4:55PM
The only way this could get better is if he made a Joystiq podcast theme song...
samfish (is ready for MadWorld!) @ Feb 24th 2009 4:55PM
I hate you, Fiddy, and I think you suck. I bet you have a small penis and erectile dysfunction.
John @ Feb 24th 2009 4:57PM
Tupac > 50 Cent > samfish
Lord Negatron @ Feb 24th 2009 4:59PM
Dammit Sam, now your perky little bubble but is all abstract, wot the eff?!
-I was dubbed a pervert for clicking a certain link("synopsis"), figured i would roll with it.
samfish (is ready for MadWorld!) @ Feb 24th 2009 5:02PM
Silly John, those aren't Less Than signs.
ANTCEP @ Feb 24th 2009 5:06PM
A++ trolling there
Sir Buzz Killington( The Artist formerly known as Jakka) @ Feb 24th 2009 5:16PM
These here, were the last words of Samfish before G-Unit broke into his house and capped his ass.
Kamizar @ Feb 24th 2009 5:19PM
Well to be fair Killington, it will only be because they heard there was a diamond encrusted skull in his house.
samfish (is ready for MadWorld!) @ Feb 24th 2009 5:21PM
If it isn't archeologists breaking into my house, it's rappers. So annoying!
Strategy_Panda @ Feb 24th 2009 4:58PM
I'm sure he'll be impressed with the site, what with that new tentacle porn promotion and everything... that's right Left 4 Head features tentacle porn
Nap @ Feb 24th 2009 4:58PM
50 paid off Joystiq for a good review
Top Cat @ Feb 24th 2009 5:01PM
Fiddy-Gate?
Deeznuts420 @ Feb 24th 2009 5:00PM
dont worry ben, im pound for pound tougher than fiddy, i got yo back
Hyams @ Feb 24th 2009 5:00PM
Ah, so that's why you guys gave his game such a good review.
Chris D.(PSN: Aggie_CEO | XBL:The Aggie CEO | Steam: Aggie_CEO @ Feb 24th 2009 5:03PM
Great Scott!!!!!
Better be careful guys, or he could BUY your shit.
Arkanaloth @ Feb 24th 2009 5:04PM
well now... isn't this a interesting..
I think this is the funniest thing I've read today at least until the interview transcription hits the net.
so, we have yet another disgruntled "LOOK AT MEEEE!!! I'M HARDCORE" get his knickers in a twist 'cause someone doesn't like what they do. Real class there "FIddy", real class...
NoughtSoClever @ Feb 24th 2009 5:06PM
So like if I was to post that 'fiddy' was a "steroid taking douche bag" in the comments section here, would that mean that I need to watch my back because he will find me seeing as he is now watching the site? Cool. Maybe I can get an autograph.
Lee @ Feb 24th 2009 5:06PM
He's going to find you a donkey?
SoCoolCurt (PSN: KillaKornbread - XBL: SoCoolCurt) @ Feb 24th 2009 5:07PM
damn Ben. well if you pay attention to the rap game at all, you should probably start looking for a new career lol. just ask Ja Rule, Fat Joe, Cam'Ron, Young Buck, DJ Khaled, etc., he will end you.
big ups to Fif if he actually reads this site too. i wasn't feeling the last album (and it had to be the one with my name on it) but all the others are classics, im hoping Before I Self Destruct brings back that heat. March 24th.
richie579 @ Feb 24th 2009 5:10PM
He must have another album coming out...or the game(durr), new 50 beefs with new 50 releases :-p
Deck @ Feb 24th 2009 5:12PM
Hahaha.. oh man that's great!
Can't wait for the full transcript!
axion22 @ Feb 24th 2009 5:13PM
awesome
ice~ @ Feb 24th 2009 5:14PM
Yo wazzup Fiddy?! I know yo readin dis shit, and i wanna lets ya know I'm hittin yo motha fuckin OG game up this weekend, that shit is hot man, especially if you play it stoned with yo gangstas. Peace fiddy!
Courtney @ Feb 24th 2009 5:21PM
If Fiddy was a fanboy, what kind of flaming fanboy would Fiddy be?
samfish (is ready for MadWorld!) @ Feb 24th 2009 5:27PM
Gotta be a PSTRIPLE fanboy. He seems like the type.
Baby J Penn (PSN johnnynumber5) @ Feb 24th 2009 6:53PM
Samfish
You might be right because the Wii is for adolescents and the 360 is for teenagers. 50 is neither of those things so the PS3 sounds right.
:p
John @ Feb 25th 2009 4:34AM
And fity is a douchebag, so he meets 2 qualifiers of PSfanboy then
Dave @ Feb 24th 2009 5:22PM
Don't worry--he can't spell, "joystiq". The poor bastards at joystick.com, joystik.com, and joystic.com are probably screwed, though.
ComicShaman @ Feb 24th 2009 5:23PM
If my name was Buck, would that make me twice the man that 50 Cent is?
Nap @ Feb 24th 2009 8:18PM
Would you be Old Buck.. since Young Buck is already taken?
Poisoned Al @ Feb 24th 2009 5:25PM
Hay, 30p! YOU FUCKING SUCK!
Hyams @ Feb 24th 2009 6:07PM
Win.
keith @ Feb 24th 2009 5:31PM
He should of started reading joystiq before he started making da games.
CaptainProtonX @ Feb 24th 2009 5:33PM
I wonder what other diamond encrusted objects are in possession of Mr. 50.
Shoes? Sunglasses? Kitty-Litter Egloo (for Mittens and Persivus)?
Oh! And let us not forget the diamond-encrusted humidifier to battle the sniffles.
Maverick Saturn @ Feb 24th 2009 5:36PM
I never knew 50 was a homosexual... :O This explains a lot.
Top Cat @ Feb 24th 2009 5:40PM
like what?
Top Cat @ Feb 24th 2009 5:41PM
rar, reply to Maverick Saturn
Grendel Pr1me @ Feb 24th 2009 5:42PM
I was hoping you would post this, after Tina over at 1Up twittered "Ben from joystiq pissed 50 off. lol"
But at least you'll have evidence and witnesses for the upcoming trial when you claim self defence. Just remember, he's like a character in Far Cry 2... it's going to take more than bullets.
Dante G @ Feb 24th 2009 5:45PM
Any news on the Soulja boy game?
Maverick Saturn @ Feb 24th 2009 6:05PM
Nope, hes putting a notice up on his site to find anyone with 360 programming skills, haha
Jimmy James 70 @ Feb 24th 2009 5:46PM
Um, Fiddy does conference calls? How Gangsta is dat?
horatiowrd @ Feb 24th 2009 5:50PM
Is this why you guys gave a positive review to his game? So you can pimp out that he is a reader?
nice to know yall remain impartial.
Hyams @ Feb 24th 2009 6:08PM
Well, the review came *before* the conference call, so...
