You are right though, Deadspin isn't about sodomy and public defecation stories anymore. i can imagine they built quite the coprophiliac crowd over the years so they might lose out on revenue.

This article better be meming right now. I sat in those at Gamescom and it was like sitting on two planks of wood, the cushion might as well have come straight out of the Flintstones.

Meanwhile, GO Media seemly forgot to change the passwords to Deadspin's Twitter account, because the shitgibbons that bailed are still posting on there like they own the fucking place.

The dudes running GO Media need to get their shit together, because they are letting a bunch of shitty hacks make them look like impotent morons.

Seemingly forgot? I'm not putting it past them to have changed the password right before they quit the site. GO Media is probably in talks with Twitter about getting control back, but that shit takes time. Especially when you gotta figure a lot of these people have friends on the inside at Twitter operating customer support. Either way, I doubt any sane person is looking at how the formerly employed are behaving and thinking that's what winners do. That's what children do when they lose.

I forgot that some of the soyboys and dangerhairs hired by Denton would have connections to Twitter staff. So it might take a while before Twitter gets around to ceding control of Deadspon's Twitter to GO Media.

Regardless, you're right that this is only making the now unemployed morons even more unhireable. Who wants to sign on children that will run wild on the company's social media and shit on their bosses?

One hopes the money losing Twitter is eventually sold to some vulture capitalist slimeballs like GO who then take the axe to the troons there as well.

 

[Ruin]

Twitter going under would be an early Christmas but I don't think it's ever going to happen. It's too valuable as a propaganda outlet. Even if it loses 16 gorillatrillion dollars a year, it will be kept alive for that purpose.

That filled them with dread?
Not being unable to get 66lbs up a single flight of stairs? Not living with ma? Not being admittedly terrible at the thing they're literally being paid to cover?
Class consciousness?! It's a fucking chair.

With the exception of a couple connected people there most of these dumb faggots will spend what's left of their "journalism" career on tumblr.

That's a fucking weight for a good curl not one to struggle getting up stairs. Maybe the soy meme is real.

Was she the one that tried writing a book about her favourite video game butts, and got people like Ashens to contribute? I remember that book being mentioned at every other game twitter and news site, but I don't remember it ever being released. I assume it was, I just never cared enough to confirm it.


There is a BdobbinsFTW video where he lays out a fairly convincing theory that Schriers most famous article (the Destiny one) was handed to him as a form of damage control.

I mentioned before that people keep telling me there are lots of quality Kotaku articles, but the same handful come up again and again. Destiny, Anthem, recently someone told me they did a great article about a lost Sailor Moon episode. But for every high quality article, I can name 2 or even 3 pieces of clickbait trash they put out.

Wait. Did she actually get Stuart to agree to it or was it just "hypothetical"?
That doesn't seem like his type of humour at all. Ashen's jokes are usually more subtle and refined.

The real question is..does that chair lean back as far as PewdiePie's chair?

It turns out it was Laura Kate Dale, but Ashens is listed as a contributor.

[HeyYou]

That Deadspin shit was seriously the most pathetic thing I've ever seen. I get that bosses can be shitty, I've known quite a few (and the Deadspin bosses didn't even seem that shitty), but that was some of the most childish behavior I've ever seen from a group of professionals. These are people in their late fucking 20s and early 30s. These are the same dipshits pumping out articles about Trump's temper tantrums and massive ego.

that sounds like a perfect case to get bend over legally, unless the lawyers were diversity hires too and missed a clause to stop any company property and hand over all account data.
imagine you install different locks just to spite your employer. and even if they forget a clause, appropriating a public company account can at least be considered interference.

that wouldn't surprise me, because schreier's hot twitter takes and zero insight of the matter at hand was always at odds even with the readable stuff. for me he will be forever the tard that thinks dragon's crown sorceress = loli and then proceed to damage control hard when blown out.

If they did this, even if they didn't change the password, they better hope GO doesn't want their pound of flesh. Cause if they do, whoever has taken control of the account is about to get very acquainted with Tyrone when G/O invokes the CFAA and has them dragged up on "hacking" charges that carry a 10+ year prison sentence. People have gotten harsher sentences for less from the CFAA.

I'd love to see it happen just to see them chimp out. It's not even as ridiculous as shit like what they did to weev who arguably didn't even violate the law. People have done time for shit like changing the passwords to lock out other workers when they knew they were going to be fired, and the motive will be assumed to be malicious.

I think that's bullshit, but the law doesn't, apparently.

And IGNs shill article about it lists

The only video game ass that is a work of art is 2B's as her ass and thigh fat are fully animated and responsive to the environment. There are no others in videogames worth mentioning, except maybe Tracer.

Deadspin is still posting articles, but the byline just says "Deadspin".

Why, you may ask? Because shortly after Deadspin's staff bailed, an article was posted by freelancer writer Alan Goldsher, which led to him getting hate mobbed and taunted as a '"scab" (despite the fact that scabs are people hired to fill in for employees on strike, and all of Deadspin's staff didn't go on strike - they quit). As a result, he bent over and suddenly decided that giving in to hacks was more important than paying the rent.

Meanwhile, GO Media seemly forgot to change the passwords to Deadspin's Twitter account, because the shitgibbons that bailed are still posting on there like they own the fucking place.

They may not be impotent but they are fucking morons. They bought assets originally valued at $135 million for 20. Univision wouldn't even have accepted 80 million at one point. And the $80 was literally their only offer. Everyone in the business knew how radioactive Gawker and their brands were. Eventually Univision fucked up so bad nobody wanted to buy these outlets and kept bleeding money.

Univision sold all these sites for $20 million. That should have screamed something at G/O media, which was basically an investment firm before buying them. They had absolutely no clue what they were buying. I am sure they do now. Better to liquidate them all and sell the pieces now or try to offer them at $3 million a few years from now.

To huge conglomerates, $20 million is peanuts. If they manage to trim the fat and get the Gawker family back to its pre-Gamergate glory, then it's a win. If the monkeys continue to smear their shit on the walls, G/O can sell if off and use some "creative accounting" to get a tax break or something.

Disagree, Ivy from Soul Calibur's ass is a work of art as well and had jiggle in 4.

I would also say Cammy and Mai's asses are works of art as well.

 

[vertexwindi]

I can't believe people would discuss nice asses from video games but not mention Bayonetta.

Bayonetta has carnival freak proportions. She's like the giraffe necked girl who ran away to marry the Sasquatch.

 

[vertexwindi]

I want to hold hands with Bayonetta and have her stroke my hair while she whispers sweet nothings into my ear.

 

[Kari Kamiya]

Obvious rookie answer, but I don't care because Solid Snake has such glorious assets and it was criminal of Nintendo to think they could deprive us of that manly beauty in SSB: Ultimate.
