They have been faking a lot of their videos recently, mostly due to alleged bribery from video game developers and publishers. Here is evidence.
And another.
They have deleted those videos from their archives. However, their dishonesty is now a proven fact, backed by proof and many disillusioned fans. Their PR has dropped, just like in GameSpot. Don’t they have shame?

Recently, my ancestral home, China, was rocked by a 7.8 earthquake in the Sichuan province. Once, I remembered Sichuan for its delicious spicy foods. Now, I shall remember it as a place where families were faced with tragedies beyond their own comprehension.
This particular story strikes me right through the core. Despite best efforts, it is to be expected that there will be casualties among them. Imagine their desperation and distress underground.
Please pray for them.
I sure fucking hope so!
One day, I got this comment from this blogger “complaining” about how I write entries relating to stuff that he/she says “isn’t of my own thoughts”. He/she relates to how the Internet and blogging in particular has given us freedom to express ideas and stuff like that. That is well and good until someone becomes a keyboard patriot. Not only does it sound yuppie-ish, but it is also very disconcerting. The thing is that I do get and I actually practice what he/she is preaching in the first place. I did not respond to that particular comment, so you can’t really say that I’m defensive about it.
Another instance is a boyfriend of an artist who thought that representing Filipino culture via a rendition of a girl in a French maid outfit was insulting to the Philippines in general due to the reputation that this country has in western nations. Well, we do deserve it since we actually show it. Stereotypes are made so because a lot of individuals from a culture or nationality do exhibit those traits in the first place. If they were never true, then how can there be a stereotype? Well, I understand the artist’s sentiments. She does have a point, but her boyfriend seems too brave when it comes to defending his girlfriend’s opinion. He even disregarded the history of the said representation and just revved his engine to put down all “detractors”. With comments that had resemblances to War and Peace, he went on to actively argue with other people just prove to everyone that his girlfriend has a point. The thing is that it really is clear, so he never had to actually be an asshole about it. What made it a problem is that he still went on to be an asshole about it.
One thing that bugs me is overpatriotic people who wave the flags of courage behind a keyboard. Anyone can seem strong and boisterous with their artificial cheese flavoring-encrusted fingers while their teeth are busy chewing on a mouthful of Cheetos. Not only that, but the majority of these people are young middle-class jerk-offs who have nothing better to do other than plunging the productivity levels of others by berating them over chat and comments.
It’s good to stand for what you believe in, but if you do so by being an asshole, then you’re just giving people a bad impression about your point of view. I’ve learned this the hard way and I’m making amends by saying that there are simpler and more convincing ways to express opinions. Besides, it’s not like most of us are actually capable of literally taking up arms and fighting for our beliefs in the purest sense, which is against the law. We can only crowd the Internet with our text for now.
Anyone can be a keyboard warrior, but only a handful can back up their talk.
As his last act on this earth, Joseph Richardson, 39, lifted his baby daughter out of danger as a car driven by an individual under the influence jumped the curb and violently headed their way. His daughter came out of it alive, while he was killed by the crash.
His twin sensed his passing before hearing the news.
