I have known about Sarcastic Gamer for quite a while, and even used one of their songs in Episode 4. I do have to say, though that they are some of the funniest guys on the internet. Another thing that is so cool about them, is that they are very easy to reach and talk to. Please visit their site, it's a great site and they are one great bunch of guys.
Escape Pod has been going downhill recently. I don't know what it is, but the stories just aren't as good as they had been in the past. I still continue to listen to it, but it's on the hit list if it doesn't get much better.
I'm wondering what I will be listening too a couple of months from now. Does anyone have any suggestions on what else to listen too?

Oh snap, here we go. OK I used to follow SG, I subscribed to the blog, I listened to their podcast, etc. Yes, I am using past tense. They lost me with the whole EA Boycott nonsense. It wasn't so much that they took a stand, but I thought the way they went about it was a little wrong at times, e.g. getting into pissing contests with other bloggers and posting five updates an hour... But the kicker for me was when EA retracted, SG was all "yay we won, you should all bow down and thank us for making this happen". They came across as very arrogant and that we should all be thankful. Whatever.
ReplyDeleteOh and their RSS feed pissed me off too. "Find out more, after the jump!" Hey I have an idea d*ckface, why not just post the full article so I can see it in my RSS reader instead of having to go to your site. Theirs is one of a (thankfully) small handful of feeds that do this. Team Xbox is another off the top of my head; when gaming sites are banned at work (but RSS isn't), it's very annoying to see that "after the jump" bullsh*t.
< /rant >
:-D
SG is run by some of the biggest asshats in gaming. No sense f decency, added to what has developed into a massively underserved ego...
ReplyDeleteDoc and Lono especially. I wouldn't crap on either of them if they were on fire.
I would, however, bring marshmellows...
No. Not bitter at ALL...
Wow. We just kind of took a dump on your blog, didn't we Jedi.

I'd settle for "We'll try to be lesser fucktards"...
ReplyDeleteNice to see they still disregard anything negative without consideration...
Ha, ha, ha.... Sorry we lost you guys... Angry White Guy used to be a mod, but got fired for abusing his power and now he's going on blogs and badmouthing us....
ReplyDeleteThat's hysterical, ablativmeatshld... At least you're classy about it!
/sarcasm.
Lono.
Oops... forgot to mention that Angry White Guy was known as AblativMeatshld on our forums, before he was fired... the only mod ever fired.... Just wanted to clear that up.
ReplyDeleteBest thread I've seen all day! Thanks JediChric!
Well I don't know the history there between y'all and AblativeMeatshield/AngryWhiteGuy/FiredModder, but sounds like you need a group hug.
ReplyDeleteBut I give you props for giving Jedi some love on his blog. I tell you what, I'll re-subscribe to the S.G. RSS feed if you post the full text of your articles, what do you say? We're like an old married couple...how about a little compromise, we'll meet in the middle? C'mon gents, all your fans in corporate America will thank you!
I don't know why it doesn't do that already Mojo, but I will certainly look into it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for giving us another chance bud, we've missed ya!
Update for mojo: For the past month we have been putting entire articles into our RSS feed.
ReplyDeleteHope that helps!
"Angry White Guy used to be a mod, but got fired for abusing his power and now he's going on blogs and badmouthing us...."
ReplyDeleteWell, ignoring the whole "I, Lono, moddified a post or two of his so that they said "i'm a moron", he's pretty dead on.
And I've mentioned my loathing of you shmucks in about three places - Twitter, here, and to one other person. "blogs" has this sound of my life's mission being to ruin the reputation of you jack-asses.
HOW I got fired was also an active displace of how little class you've got.
But hey, at least you folks managed to change the mind of a huge gaming company. *rolls his eyes*
But I guess you take your wins where and when you can, huh...
PS. I'm faily sure Jedi knew who I was. Nice try on the reveal, though...

Gosh AblativMeatshld, how did someone as classy and positive person, such as yourself ever get fired from being a Mod on a website forum??? Your comments on this blog and others are just so darn insightful and classy that I'm really at a loss for words for how we could bear to lose you...
ReplyDelete*just threw up in my mouth typing that*
@JediChric: I gave you a shout on our show Jedi, cause this thread has really entertained me this past week. I'm looking forward to being on your show.
Yes, I've certainly been crushed by not interacting with you all. Absolutely crushed...
ReplyDeleteOh no, wait...
Classy as always, Lono... Too bad you can't chance my words here, eh? Would be just like old times...
All I know is that when you have a chance to change stupidity, you should, where ever and whenever you find it, or read it.
ReplyDeleteEspecially when you can change the opinion you disagree with to something that's insulting...
