When you guys find out who this terrible PR company is, can you *please* post their name?

I'd love to know who *not* to go to when I need to promote something.

@ MonicaX: "I don't game, and I agree that ALL Americans are unhealthily overweight."

...Instantly your opinion is 100% shit.

Don't complain about stereotypes while YOU perpetuate them. Obviously you've never been to the US, or else you wouldn't make such a comment. Why did you even bother to open your stupid mouth?

Unfortunately, some people just can't deal with anything that violates their stupid close-minded world. If you don't game, then WHY DO YOU CARE?

anyone who adds an "-ist" to their name is just as close minded as anything they fight against, and are usually acting out because they like the sound of their own voice, and noone pays attention to them.

As to feminists: where were you when DEAD OR ALIVE games came out? Now THAT'S something to fight about!

GTAIV Bricked my 360 system, no joke.

two years of glitch-free gaming, and within 24hrs of purchase, GTAIV started to freeze at the opening title. Deleted the save files, and then the next it auto-saves GRRRRR - the disc is scratched and useless.

So with a new GTAIV disc, a clean hardrive, and autosave turned off, I get to the 1st place to save, and GRRRRR- disc #2 is toast.

of course, Microsoft now says my system is not under warranty, and because of that, they won't replace the discs, because "the game is too new, we can't replace it, you'll have to wait until August. and THEN you can pay $20 for ONE disc, you should have called us as soon as the 1st one scratched" -add $100 just to look at, and I have to pay for shipping there and back- what is the point of pretending to help a customer? Micro$oft Tech is the worst in the world, arrogant, rude- they treated me like i was a toddler who drooled into the console, and that's why it broke... it couldn't be bad QC and cheap manufacturing, could it?

@ #13:
sounds like you either aren't very good at video games, played the demo for 10 minutes, or didn't really play the game and are just bashing it.

it is the only game to offer a real challenge in difficulty that i've played in 10 years, i think the last challenge i had like that was playing MEGA MAN 2 without passwords.

@ #42 dan :

i love it when people claim they are so much better than professionals, and post comments about it on websites.

it just makes you sound like a loser ex-high school football player. "i could have made it in the big leagues!" wa-wa-wa.

best thing you wrote though: "I just spoke to a friend of mine living in Korea (and a ex-semi-pro Starcraft player) about this match... his comments are:"

...no those are YOUR comments. you don't know anyone. if he really exists then he could post his comments for himself. they're too long and detailed for you to "remember."

oh wait... before i type anymore let me go ask my friend Snoop Dogg for advice on what to say...

hey joystiq, you should be writing about THIS, he's only running for NY state senate, how could you miss this !!!
if you read this story at all, read THESE:


http://ftl.nypress.com/index.cfm?search=andrew%20lanza


Lanza gets big donations from interests he opposes- full story:

Councilman enters race for state Senate with 47% absence rate- 'If he can't make a meeting in Manhattan, why do we think he'd make a meeting in Albany?'

http://www.silive.com/printer/printer.ssf?/base/news/1147354283240230.xml&coll=1

he's been actually asked REAL questions in the last 2 weeks, been under ethics investigation for months, and of course, he's talking about video games this week. and running for the state senate.

way to go, prove to voters that you're a 100% scumbag, instead of just a 47% scumbag.

i'd really like to hear a list of things Mr. Lanza has actually DONE for the community beside waste taxpayer's dollars and talk about shit he does not understand.

he used to be a manager of a big Wall Street firm, so i guess that makes him not only "a man of the people" but also an expert on video games.

you have to be real smart to pay $$ to live in the world's most polluted 5-mile radius (great kills) i guess.

what a piece of shit, why not mind your own buisness and get your nose back where it belongs- banning metal bats from Little League games and talking bribes like a good little Republican.

haha, there was a writer on halo or halo 2? haha! halo is, hands-down, the WORST written game ever. dialog and story are 100% trash. it's on a par with a bad sci-fi channel movie. basically, this guy gets paid to suck. if you play this game for the story, i'll tell you what your friends don't- you have no taste or intelligence.

what is the purpose of this beta, if not collecting data, then? publicity.

and what a sucky interview- he says "Well, this is a multiplayer event and we're not talking about campaign at all" but goes ON AND ON AND ON about the movie, which has nothing to do with the game!

what a name-dropping, arrogant bastard, too, "peter jackson peter jackson peter jackson" - i thought this was a multiplayer halo3 event.

obviously, Bungie's mindset is:

- lets put out the same game over and over again, like madden

- we have been popular for 7 years now, so that makes us better than you

- we don't care what you say.

i will really enjoy it when halo tanks like pac man, nes, mortal kombat, street fighter, and a lot more did - just like all pre-teen trends do.
