Call me an old fart so I read a message board called Caltrops for my gaming opinions, can't be bothered with these fucking streams.


I put this guy's (Lifespiller79) channel on in the background at work as he seems to be the exact opposite of Youtube drama. Just a normal guy that has a normal life that talks about video games.

Yeah I guess what I meant to say, with Gamergate, the kids realized they can't believe anybody. I subscribed to this guy I never heard of Jonsey thanks, but what I meant to say, what happens when somebody offers this random dude with a small channel twenty thousand dollars. That's a lot of money! Or is it not much at all to someone else.

Ah Gamergate. I went to the college in the early eighties, had a cool professor. He worked his whole life as a public relations man, and the big job, which he blew, was Miller Lite. New product, and his push was how it would help you save weight as you lost your mind and over indulged. Totally wrong take, complete failure, he ended up a college professor at an extension college as he got to watch the current Miller Lite campaign take off so far it became like an internet meme before we had the internet. "Tastes great, less filling." Those four words summed up his failure. Anyway, he was a great professor.

One day, I asked him: "What qualifies you to teach this class." Because the class was journalism. And he laid it out, because he had lived it, and then flat out said it: "Because all I did was write good copy for journalists to rewrite. Because it doesn't matter who owns the newspaper. Because PR agencies rule the world!"
