Anyone Else Watch Sessler's Soapbox?

I watch it on occasion. They tend to be fairly entertaining rants from the only person on G4 who truly belongs to a gaming program. Granted, I like Morgan Webb well enough, but Adam's "gamer-ness" is more intense than hers.
He misses the point of the boycott. Valve has the right to publish whatever they want to, and the community has the right to their opinion that it's crap and want a change. There's no reason to go along with their actions blindly.
Even before that, I was annoyed by Sessler's whiney, obnoxious voice, ugly mug, and unfunny humor. He's a big figure in G4 apparently? I'm sick of seeing him.
Why won't this guy die?
And, I have to say; I wasn't going to join the L4D2 Boycott originally, since I was conflicted over it. But, after seeing a link to that video a while ago, and hearing Sessler whine harder than anyone in the group, I realized what an amazing accomplishment it was, and decided to join.

I don't think he did. I bought L4D knowing it was super short with a certain expectation of DLC. I don't mind paying for DLC and would gladly pay for a new campaign map. I think alot of people in the boycott would if asked. And if I thought the only DLC that it would recieve would be the survival mode then I would have passed. Infact my copy sat here for months collecting dust to come out of retirement once when a buddy of mine came over and I wanted him to see it. I want to call out Valve for blatantly lying but I can't. They did say there would be free DLC and they delivered. They never said what the DLC would be and I never asked them. I made an assumption and we all know what happens when you assume. And it was a lesson I will not soon forget. A 60 dollar lesson but a lesson nonetheless. L4D2 will either be a rental or a bargain bin find once I know for sure that it will be supported they way it ought to be. Regardless if the DLC is free or not.Space Spoons said:
I did because he came up with good points every now and then, but most episodes I was watching the background gameplay more then I was listening. He does have opinions that I agree with, but most are either unimportant to me, or I totally disagree with. I stopped caring when he did his episode saying DLC was great. I think DLC is an utter rip-off. When I do disagree with an opinion, he never exactly convinces me to change my view.
Ha. accomplishment. That's funny. The group hasn't actually done anything except flame people who have a dissenting opinion. Oh wait that's what every moron with a modem aspires to be these days. My mistake.Zand88 said:
Since you seem to be confusing misinformed ranting and flaming for actual accomplishments, let me put it in perspective
Number of L4D1 copies sold: 2.5 million
Number of protesters: 32,000
Percentage of L4D1 sales based on number of protesters (and this is assuming that they are all sincerely going to boycott this, which is a massive stretch given what a pack of lies people are when they don't have to make eye contact while talking): 1.2%
Yes. That's right. 1.2%. Not 10%, not 20%, just barely more than 1. Big accomplishment, huh. Just because you make a drop in the profit bucket of a company does not entitle you to act like that company now owes you something. But again, you've already decided to miss the point and throw in with the "what about me!?" crowd.
The Soapbox podcast that sticks out in my mind was him defending his 2-star review of Crisis Core: FFVII. It was nice to see a mainstream reviewer call out the bad Final Fantasy spin-off's Square was fond of at the time and say the game was just plain mediocre and extended a story that didn't really need extending.
It was certainly appropriate for him to get maddest at the people who said "you're out of step with the other reviewers", as if they all had to be unanimous. I'd be irritated too.
