Yeah, definitely a bummer if true. Although I will wait until some actual facts are given before I jump on the "fuck Nick" bandwagon. But unfortunately, usually where there's smoke there's fire.

Yo what the fuck
Has this been hanging out there as an open indistry secret like that R. Kelly cult shit?

I'm confused.
He's clearly being an unnecessary dick to the Overcooked developers. Screw that.
The second tweet is the most damming though. But all the responses are either "got him!" or something about serving tea or tea time?
So, everybody knew this was going on or what?

There is more than one well known Nick Robinson with controversy regarding women blowing up at the same time and it's making it difficult to parse the crap between them.

I don't understand how he's being a dick to the Undercooked devs? Aren't there multiple sites calling the game busted? Why would the devs even need customers to send them a video at that point, when it's something so common?

I can trust her since shes part of Austins FatT gang?

A purple mini-skirt for PUBG is going for $448 to $632. People are willing to spend at least $233.
So, how can one make money with PUBG? What do I need?
They're asking for data to solve the issues. If he doesn't want to help them that's totally fine. Doesn't mean he has to put them on blast.

any bloodborne players here? how the fook do I beat Henryk? He already killed the crow 
The performance deserves to be called out all day long. And it does. I haven't encountered a single review that didn't point out the bad performance. But slamming the developers for the simple act of asking for data is unnecessary and malicious. Especially for someone with such a huge following.

I almost posted about Nick but a lot of the people talking bout him are doing so abstractly to avoid blowback, so I didn't want to cause that to happen. Also figured I'd Ben deserved time to talk to Nick or whatever, in case he didn't know.
Kessler posted on twitter a couple hours back "I'm so fucking furious" with no other context, and Nicks been silent for 5 hours.
Austin was signal boosting a lot of the grumbling about Nick with retweets and stuff, and I trust Austin. A lot of other friends of the site/smart people were corroborating this stuff.

You restart your playthrough and make sure Eileen doesn't die.
If you're one on one, the NPC hunters are probably the hardest fights in the game. Easiest way to deal with them is bait them with charged attacks so they get up close to you and walk right into it. Also just entirely depends on which weapon you are using. Could learn to parry him since abusing parries is one of the "easiest" (e.g. most consistent) way through the game.
Henryk is probably the easiest of the NPC hunters that you will end up fighting and it's mostly because you hopefully would have had Eileen drawing his aggro which lets you just attack his back the whole time. The easiest way to make sure the fight goes well with Eileen is to go there literally right after you talked to Eileen outside the church and backtrack to Oedon's Tomb.

Lets talk about the greatest original xbox exclusive. Jet Set Radio Future

Really wish there was a modern release of this amazing game. I was maybe 10 when it came out and I played the EFF out of it. The music is still engrained in my head

Dark Souls 3 was definitely easier then this game.
Thanks!

JSRF rules, but I wish they'd put the movement and trick system into a game that plays out more like the original.
Man, it's hard not to just post the entries from my thread when someone mentions a game in it.
I am kinda serious about restarting, though. It is kind of a frustrating thing to do but doing that opening few bosses (depending whether you also did Old Yharnam before Amelia) can actually be super short especially if you have gotten the hang of the combat.
Otherwise, one on one, it'll be a mix of learning the general AI habits (that you can abuse such as them always coming to attack you when you do a heavy charged attack), which weapon you are using (spin2win hunter's axe does work especially when you are kinda new), and finally just learning the gun parry timing. Henryk doesn't have any of the more annoying stuff the later NPC hunters have so he is actually probably a decent one to try and learn the parry timing.

Well that's a lot of heavy shit all the sudden. I'll wait till we have confirmation before passing judgement, but that is some damning stuff. I know nothing about Nick. I watched GB when he interned there, but haven't followed anything he did since then. I know he does stuff with Griffin on Polygon.
This game was packed in when I got my xbox, and I literally didn't know how to get out of the first area and thought it was trash.

It makes me fucking furious that this swoop-haired fraud uses his bare sliver of popularity to make other people's lives shittier, so, yeah, I can imagine Matt and Ben are having a rough time right now. Cultivating an audience based on inclusiveness and acceptance and then using that clout to scare your victims into silence is pretty fucking heinous.
I would like a new release of it, if only to reaffirm how I feel about it 15 years after I originally played it. I found it to be a really disappointing sequel. The music was good though.

BRUH. I remember the first area being crap since it was tutorial. The game just has such amazing style, music and a decent through-line for a story
Damn bro leave the hair out of it, it didn't do nothing 😭

Weird that they're not playing XCOM 2, but XCOM is a great game to do a series on.

Never played the dreamcast version, but weren't there control issues because of the joystick?

I remember talk of that issue back then but I don't think it bothered me much. Anyway, JSRF is a fine game and all, but changes to the gameplay were not to my liking. Specifically the alterations to the tagging and cops and level layouts were not improvements to me.
But, I am (much) older now and I may need to revisit both games sometime.
Yeah you definitely get what I'm talking about. Nice writeup. Respect.
Excited for the new Xcom feature. I dont even know what it is but the banner sold me on it!
Nick seemed like a cool guy but thats obviously not the case. Glad people are speaking out against him. Being popular and keeping people quiet because of your influence is fucking disgusting too.

Yeah, I saw people from Riot, People like Austin and Gita Jackson from Kotaku speak up about this on Twitter. What a fucking bummer. Hoping Ben and Griffin coment on this soon since seemingly the whole industry was aware of this. And especially with Griffin I find it hard to believe he wasn't :/

maybe Ben will release a fraction of a statement, say the rest is coming later, but never actually release it despite insisting he will

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
I'm pretty sure I posted at least once how an XCom feature would be a lot of fun.
Not saying I inspired this but I inspired this.
Just put my name in the credits Vinny
Edit: It's been like 2 weeks since I checked out anything GB related, who is Nick? Did they hire somebody else?

He was an intern at Whiskey Media and now works for Polygon. He has a podcast with Ben and Kessler.

So I read the last page but uuuuhh I kinda still have no idea whats going on?
All I see are some vague tweets that make little sense to me because I don't know the people tweeting them. I also don't know that Nick guy, so not trying to defnd him at all.
I just don't really understand what happened, what the guy did and why 'everybody' is talking about it now.

The Switch version of Overcooked is apparently having some issues. Robinson tweeted talking shit about the game and people who dislike him say that he creeps on women in the gaming industry by messaging them a lot or something like that. Somebody also claimed that he creeped on their underage friend. I don't think I've seen any proof of it yet, no discriminating screenshots, but at this point it seems pretty likely that the guy is a douche. He also used to intern during the whiskey media days and is now working at Polygon.
