So Pachter is now some kind of bizarre ultra-nerd Chuck Norris?

Joystiq has turned into Pachter central lately. The annoying thing about it is that none of us give a rats pajamas about what that douche thinks, yet Joystiq seems to think his opinions make interesting stories. Is Joystiq purposely trying to piss off all of their readers? Between the Pachter crap and the stupid face they keep hiding in all their pictures, this site is becoming an annoyance more than anything.

Right on Valgas. I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed. It's like the recession forced Joystiq to fire all the good writers or send them on "extended leave" and the remaining guy is a navel-gazing hipster who thinks it's ironic and funny to post 18 Pachter stories in 3 days and recycle the same wacky face in every picture on the site.

It's a disturbing trend. Nobody cares about what Dustin Hoffman's stunt double says about gaming. He's 90% wrong.

@valgas, PopFrogs: Um... This article is ridiculing Pachter, not touting him as a glorious figure. It's called sarcasm. Almost all the other Pachter-related articles have also had a facetious tone. It seems as though you guys wouldn't know satire if it crawled up your ass.

Don't blame writers for your lack of reading comprehension skills.

Saria the Cat,

Thanks for pointing out that the article was making fun of Pachter, I hadn't noticed. I'm just glad there's a snooty broad that browses Joystiq who can point this stuff out to all us idiotic cavemen. You're the worst kind of person, a judgmental snob who assumes she's better and smarter than everyone else. I feel sorry for your boyfriend/husband, assuming you've been able to find a man that you've deemed worthy enough to share your glorious life with.

I don't care if Joystiq takes a couple of jabs at Pachter every time they post a story about him. They only post his stupid guesstimates as a way to pad their website when they have nothing better to report.

So hes Chuck Norris now? I for one dropped Chuck as a supreme being in my eyes and replaced him with Billy Mays. Billy is more powerful than them all.

That's probably my favorite with him in it. Although, someone on neogaf showed a tombstone with "Billy Mays Here!" on it and I, admittedly, laughed my ass off.

RIP Billy Mays. You had hundreds of thousands of fans.

Thought I would post this. My brother's friend made this for film class. Found it amusing. Too bad Billy is gone now :(

Joystiq admittedly went a little crazy with stories involving Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter recently? Michael Pachter???

How about Dead Space Girl??

"Michael Pachter willed the Dreamcast to its destruction. No one can cast dreams except Michael Pachter."

So first he invades my Joystiq, AND NOW HE KILLED THE BEST THING EVER?!?!?!

That man must have a price on his head. NOW.

It's no use. It's impossible to shoot Michael Pacther with bullets, not since he predicted that his own death would coincide with the heat death of the universe.

Breaking: Michael Pachter found dead! A Sega Dreamcast console was used to crush his skull in. A note was left saying : "this is for Sega, you dreamkiller. All your base are belong to us!"

Honestly I'd love to see a breakdown of past predictions and how accurate they are. If he's right even half of the time I would be surprised.
