Huh... a website trying to be popular by pointing out the obvious flaws of other websites that got popular by pointing out obvious flaws.

There's probably a meme for that. Let me go to my other website for pointing out obvious flaws to find out. You all know the one.

Escapist doesnt give me stuff for free = mad

Escapist puts ads to actually pay for server costs for all the nice shows we love = mad

Escapist creates Pub Club for people who actually care about the site = mad

Escapist bans and warns people who support ad-blockers = mad

If you fall under the category of either, a) Mad or b) Mad, you probably helped make that wiki.

I thought the site was funny, it is a kind of parody of gaming culture on the internet. I also think that some valid points were raised about the escapist, even if they were quite biast.

I do not agree with the moviebob bashing though, I really enjoy his shows and knowledge of comic books.

Gamedogs was fun for me too. As well as brawl and forgotten realms. I miss the old escapist at times.

Have you read the articles? They aren't entirely wrong... your childish response to it solidifies their claim as well...

So there are idiotic trolls on the internet? OH MY GAWD I'M SO SUPRISED!

*ehem* Well you know what they say. Haters gonna hate. And regular people gonna lol at haters.

Overall these seem like pathetic attempts at trolling. And why is everyone agreeing with them on moviebob?
Last time I checked people were allowed to change their opinions. And have opinions without being called biased for expressing those opinions on his show.
Not to support them but you're calling them names for expressing their opinion and then saying moviebob is entitled to his opinion. :p Are they entitled to their opinion? XD

I don't know why people are hating on moviebob. He has two shows here, I assumed he alsohad a fanbase, yet I seem to be the only one here who enjoys his stuff. The game-antithinker is a joke. We're supposed to hate his "strawman" and laugh at their jokes?
Yes their entitled to their opinion. And I'm entitled to either care or not care about them expressing their opinion based on the opinion where they express it and how they express it. They're entitled to express they're opinion and I'm entitled to express my opinion about them expressing their opinion if they're being jerks when expressing their opinion, and my head is starting to hurt.

I didn't find it shameful or anything, it's nice to get an alternative viewpoint on things, their will always be negative opinions on things and these are sort of justified i mean what they say on tight-assed, Orwellian moderators on this forum is so incredibly true its hilarious.

Getting suspended for criticism? Or mentioning adblock? Can someone justify that? C'mon.

If anything these are accurate, if not just simply funny. I think a lot more things on the internet would cause me to lose faith in not only the internet, but humanity. Oh and they seem to get it spot on about Moviebob too.
haha this, that was actually kind of funny and spot on on some of the things, so obviously they put in a bit of effort into getting it mostly right.


plus OP who cares? it affects you in not a single way possible, so just fucking chill.

100% right about movie bob.
I could tell by the way he talked that he was a elitist fat fuck.
Im sorry that I dont appreciate him as much as some people but the way he raggs on anyone who does not think exactly like him is pathetic.
Chiiiiill Winston....because gettinng angry about it is totally the sensible way to talk about it.

He does seem to have a very specific view of what he likes and doesn't like and that's totally fair enough, his views on gaming are interesting, but I think they are more an outsiders perspective since hes more rooted in film than in games, probably giving him slightly different opinions to a majority of gamers.

You get one warning, one little bar for it. Sometimes before blatantly saying "Go get adblock, I use it all the time" get more, occasionally people get banned unreasonably but all those normally get retconed.

Wanna know why this happens? Cause it says it very clearly in the rules the even MENTIONING, adblock is against the rules, technically they can warn me and you right now for simply saying that word. They wont, but they are fully in their rights to do so. So yes, Id say they are justified in warning people. Dont like the rules? Dont join, send them a letter and tell them so, but absolutely nobody has a right to complain when they get warned for talking about them/

About warns for criticism? Thats vague and will be disputed to the ends of the earth and back. All that can be said.

I clicked on Spoony's article and saw a mistake in the first sentence. He did Final Fantasy 8, and a little side review on 7.

Not exactly the most credible website I've ever seen.

His problem isn't his different views on games and movies. He's entitled to those views. It's the views on the people that enjoy what he finds lesser.

By his logic, since I love Halo and enjoy CoD, I'm a moronic frat boy bigot. And since I don't find the Tranformers movies to be all THAT bad, and because I hated Scott Pilgrim, I'm an idiot that shouldn't be allowed to vote.

THAT'S why he, and JWAN, hate MovieBob. He's a hypocritical elitist fuckhead that can occasional make good points when he isn't overtly passionate about whatever subject he's talking about. To judge people based on what movies or games they like is just downright horrible, stupid, close-minded, and 99% of the time, just downright incorrect.

He 100% right about moviebob. Sure moviebob has his rights to his opinions. But I hate..HATE it when he blames everyone else for their mistake and says "LEAVE NINTENDO ALONE!" He bitches about games not moving forward but what has Nintendo done? Just keep remaking their characters over and over and over again. It gets old after a while and he just major butthurt about it. Also his movies reviews are blah. If another movie does better then his "favorite movie" then he gets bitchy and calls the fans all frat boys who can't enjoy a good movie (Call you out on The Expendables). Sure I'm not saying everyone should enjoy the same movie, but don't diss on what people like and don't like.

It gets me piss off when people say "RESPECT MY OPINIONS!" yet they don't respect anyone elses and think they can walk over them. It gets old and needs to stop. Anyways my little rant is over on this lol.

Jesus, I actually find myself agreeing with some of the points in those links. Has it really reached the point for me where I agree with the bad guys?

[sup]I think I might go lie down for a while, I might be going insane.[/sup]

It's a weak ED knock-off, why do you even care?
The articles concerning themselves are also insulting. I don't know if it's some pathetic stab at "ironic" humor, but it's weak. Blatantly coming out with remarks that basically say "hah, I'm such a dick, right?" reeks of trying too hard. It's like that episode of the Simpsons where everyone hates Bart, so he says "Hey guys, I hate me too! Now we can be friends again!"

Even here, I've heard people complaining about Moviebob similarly, so instead I'd have linked their Yahtzee article. Now THAT'S jealousy.
