Is it that it’s not enough to obey him, You also must love him. 1984 George Orwell Nice forums mate.

Fair do's, there was just something about the petty misspelling jibe that didn’t sit right with me.

No way so put those brakes back on, the man is going through some heavy shit right now so I'm not going to discredit what he said because of a freaking spelling error.

Maybe chemotherapy suppresses the inner spelling Nazi in us all ?

I read John Bain’s measured take on the matter and then I looked at some of Mr Fish’s childish responses which left me shaking my head in disbelief http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1s4nmr1

There was no tangible connection between the events and I totally condemn the actions of these numpties spreading their bile, but they are latching on to the fact there’s something not right with this symbiotic relationship between press and Devs/Publisher PR, it's not quite the utopia that Chris painted it out to be. Let’s take Aliens Colonial Marines as an example, now I can’t think of a Dev with more connections to the press than Gearbox Software through friendships or as former employees and yet the usual 6 month pre-launch cycle of reworded PR bullet points and pre-view puff pieces were never fact checked, challenged or questioned by those sites who had access to so called dev networking contacts. All a lot of people are asking for is a little healthy scepticism and some transparency and not the pre-defined cycle of reworded PR BS like “Believe the hype” from likes of IGN. Now on to the subject of Anita Sarkeesian, she has some fair points, but I think if I was an American and I had that platform I’d be more troubled about the 23 million US households that need food stamps to survive rather than this. That would be true social justice not this video game related middle class navel gazing.

True, as a listener from the UK I find a genuine US regional accent sounds a lot more sincere.
