Holy shit. Is that a real person?

I have begun receiving personal attacks from HHGs friends or whomever the fuck for tweets I made that weren't even directed at them. Why hasn't the ECA cut ties with this dude, again? This shit is embarassin'

N'Gai get a lot of hate here as well
why is he called hip hop gamer? being homophobic and carrying a wrestling title belt has nothing to do with what's great about hip hop. I agree it's a really stupid name.

The "Beer seems just as bad" comments in this thread lack perspective entirely. Not a chance. Not even close.
They're both idiots.
How did you even get caught in the cross fire? People who attack on Twitter are weird.
Precisely, and most of these posts lumping him in with HHG don't even bother to explain why he is just as bad. I only had to scroll down a little for this one.
Can't N'Gai just represent us all? He's brilliant, well informed, not a fuckwad.
I'd have a beer with him.

Could be that HHG put out the call to his supporters to attack anyone that is in disagreement with him.

You can check HHG's videos and his twitter feed, so why would you speculate something like this?

That sounds like fun, I may try this in a bit.I tweeted the ECA that I didn't agree with their choice and backpedaling comments. Then this guy starts tweeting at me a bunch of bullshit. I'm a fucking racist now, apparently.
uh... who are these people?
There are other ways to contact friends. This guy very specifically noted they were friends and talked about how great HHG was and that I was a racist for not seeing it.
There are other ways to contact supporters other than Twitter and a YouTube video.
I think HHG was being ignorant about the term, not that he is homophobic.
It's the battle of the z-list celebrities.
Hilarious.
People arguing about how words should be used or who supports who.
Chris Rock said it well

I wish people were as adamant about taking down other journalists and sites as they are about hhg.

The fact that you listed these three as representative game journalists honestly made me a little sad.
HipHopGamer sucks ass.

N'Gai is pretty quick to throw around the "entitled" word and was a bit of a fuck during Doritos Gate.
There ARE people that would make a good ambassador of sorts...but Croal is not one of them.
N'gai went full twitter PR circlejerk over Wainwright. He's a tool.
Despite the misguided insults being thrown at Marcus Beer by a select few in this thread, I'd actually say Beer is a best choice. Case in point: He attacked Visceral/EA for having $41 of Day One DLC/Microtransactions during a recent rant. That's pretty pro-consumer, which is exactly what the ECA's supposed mission statement is. I am actually surprised Gametrailers allow some of his rants to go live on the air since they are not exactly friendly towards publishers.

Yeah, silly mentality of "You discuss video games on a popular website? Corrupt!" Please. Ditto for Adam Sessler and Geoff Keighley. You're average poster probably hasn't even read The Final Hours of HL2, but they're an expert on Doritos Pope!
Pachter showing some leg there
No wonder HHG didn't join Gaf when i suggested he should back in the day when he was just starting with his schtick...Gaf would have had his ass on a platter.
I met him at MGS4 signing, that's around the time he started doing his video reviews and outlandish speculation. He was a huge Sony fanboy back then- he was way too irrational for anybodys good to the point of defending Lair by citing graphics- I think he tamed that side a bit over the years. He brings nothing constructive to the gaming side, nothing. The guy is walking soundbite, albeit a good guy with ok raps, he has no room as any ambassador of anything. He sure can play a shill for game companies but that's about it, he can not articulate himself for the life of him.
Really? Weird, considering these days he's all "I'm a true gamer" kinda guy, and how he always says good things about Nintendo and Microsoft (more Nintendo than Microsoft I notice)
I haven't seen any of his stuff in a while, but he would constantly poke at Microsoft when conducting interviews with Aaron Greenberg, in a patronizing way not to mention. He was riding the Sony bandwagon like nobody's business. He tried to act neutral by saying he owns a 360, but man, having spend 7 hours outside talking to him and other people you get a nice picture of what kind of console warrior he was. Go back and rewatch some of his first videos, you can tell how it sips through once he tackles the news and speculation.Really?

Not sure how he is now, but he was a massive Sony fanboy when I started watching his take on things, probably around 2 years ago. Guy is a major douche though, and straight up obnoxious. No idea what the fuck ECA was thinking.

What's your #1?HipHopGamer has consistently been my second favorite source of unintentional comedy in the 'gaming press' for a while now. For a while I thought he was in on the joke but after watching about four videos I realized he wasn't.
That MoH video was amazing. Another great one is his video for ZombiU. He goes apeshit over a cardboard box on the ground.
What's your #1?
Precisely, and most of these posts lumping him in with HHG don't even bother to explain why he is "just as bad". I didn't have to scroll down far for another one of these.

The "Beer seems just as bad" comments in this thread lack perspective entirely. Not a chance. Not even close.
difference being, fvng actually listed something specific (though a link'd be cool) in Beer's favor, you didn't. many (including myself) came to this thread with the only knowledge of him being what's said here, and if i recall, you just harped on his job in LA as if that should've proved something, which it clearly didn't
If you give yourself a moniker like, "Angry ____" or "Annoyed _____" or anything that is meant to describe your fake internet personality, then you've already lost. Seriously. Just call yourself by your name if you think you consider yourself professional in regards to whatever the hell Marcus or HHG claim to stand for. Or if you plan on critiquing the credentials of another person with the same style of you, at least represent something that isn't completely hypocritical of what you're saying. Marcus Beer is just as bad as HHG because he swings around an internet personality.
There's your explanation.
also:
"lazy little buggers"
"these guys don't give a shit."
"you're such a fucking giver man"
"The greedy CEOs and shareholders who don't give a shit about games"
"you fuckers"
"you wankers...are the reason you're ruining AAA games."
Yeah what a great "professional" representative. He's just as bad as any other shit talking internet celebrity...love how he's saying, "grow up" to hiphopgamer. Both need to go back to youtube...
So HHG responded to one of my tweets. He wanted to do an interview with me for the paper I edit and write for. Since my paper is focused on local news and isn't relevant to this discussion whatsoever, I offered to have him respond to my points above and then I'll post his response in this thread. We'll see what he says, though I expect he'd be down; I may dislike his writing, lack of professionalism etc., but at least he is good with interacting with people.
