UPDATE

Paul has changed the twitter handle to @OceanStratagy ... Yes he got another spelling mistake in the new handle. Someone else has taken the old name and is promoting indie games and penny-arcade through it and it is appearing on the ocean marketing website XD

I studied marketing back in the day. Either the definition of "marketing" has changed quite a bit since then, or I slept through those customer insulting classes.

And the douchebaggery continues as the guy from Ocean still doesn't realize that he's a tiny fish in a big pond:

That behavior didn't stop with the e-mail chain either. Rather than taking a lesson from the exchange after it was posted, Christoforo, against all odds, stuck to his guns.

He was called out publicly on Twitter by IGN's Scott Lowe -- name-dropped in the e-mails, you might remember -- who said "Paul Christoforo's claims that he has my and @IGN's support are UNFOUNDED. I worked with him briefly and he was completely unprofessional." Lowe then directed Christoforo to refrain from bragging about having IGN's support. "You do not have it," Scott wrote.

The reply? Christoforo, writing from his @oceanmarketting Twitter account (yes, we can all note the misspelled company name --proceeded to somehow call Scott a "douchebag" AND "the unprofessional one" in the same breath. He's apparently forgotten that denigrating someone's character in a public forum actually DOES qualify as unprofessional.
Quoted from the G4 website (another publication he happened to namedrop a couple of times).
I read that too on G4, and all I kept thinking was this guy must really hate money and establishing connections.

I had a grand ol time reading the exchange, and I wouldn't be surprised if his marketing shindig fails.

He's doing marketting/stratagy though. Totally different thing :p

another small update: Internet detectives have found that paul uses roids and is prone to fits of roidrage.

Omg I nearly splurted my cola everywhere...
hahahaha.

My friend pointed out that the correct spelling is taken but he could have at least taken OcStrategy or something to make it look a little more professional...

This seriously made my day, haven't laughed out loud at something in such a long time.
I think after the massive rant that Paul had about his industry friends Mike's comment of "I do run PAX, I also have a website called Penny Arcade... It's kinda of a big thing" just sent me right over the edge.

The correct spelling was taken after he took the incorrect one though which makes it even better/worse/hilarious.

It's so very delicious.
The copyright lawsuits that will be going off against this guy for his website are going to be the icing on the cake.

It's becoming more apparent that this guy's nothing but a scam artist. He has no employees. It's just him.

Oh wow, that's awesome.

He claimed to know people inside important circles.

Now everyone knows who he is, and it isn't going to be pretty. His career is over.

Someone at GameFAQs found it on reddit, that's where I first saw it.

Pretty much. It's just waiting on the company that actually makes the controllers (N-Control Twitter of BDD guy for them [https://twitter.com/#!/Tatterr]) to announce he's been fired and blacklisted. Of course the lawsuits for causing mass damage to the company/product's name will shortly follow. This guy has ruined his life in the space of a day. It's both awe inspiring and sad at the same time.
