Possibly the most embarrassing thing I saw a game dev do.

Context:
There was a problem fetching the tweet

Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford got upset at this joke on Twitter. And people called him out on it. And because of that he decided to do an "anti bigotry" song at Pax West yesterday.
Idk man, that joke seems pretty legit if you ask me... because we do do that...a lot

The fact people are angry makes the joke even better:026:

Kochikame is finally coming to an end and here I am wondering when Ai Asato specifically had a full on sex change (I think it was somewhere in the early 100 volumes).

A dawn of Weekly Shonen Jump is among us. One Piece is the only Big 3 member left, Boku no Hero Academia is already surpassing Haikyu!! in terms of sales, so many older series have ended (The most notable one being Bleach other than the obvious), Toriko and Gintama are getting close to their finale month by month, and Boruto is here to stay as Naruto's replacement. It really makes me wonder how different things would be in 5 years from now without these giants (or supergiant in Kochikame's case).
You were close, Volume 111 is actually when Ai had her full on sex change. Which was obvious her way of trying to win Ryo-san's heart after Haya Isowashi came along (Judging by the new illustration, I have the feeling those two will eventually become a couple). Poor Ai-chan.

I think the magazine should be just fine living off One Piece alone. But you aren't wrong that Boku no Hero and Haikyu!! are there while they will get some remaining profit from Gintama and Toriko before they end. Boruto getting more sales depends on when they hell they stop adapting the movie and start doing some original arcs in the manga (while Perriot continues to milk the Naruto anime in a few years). Of the newer series introduced since this year, Yuragi is probably going to be this generation's To Love-Ru while Kimetsu hanging around depends if the popularity it has is enough for it to live. If Samon the Summoner doesn't get its act together with Kochikame gone, then you better say goodbye to the blue haired pretty smartass.

Funny how I imaged you as Big Mom talking about this.

If this is the most embarrassing thing you saw, where were you when Pitchford claimed people who were upset about Colonial Marines were like 9/11 conspirasy theorists?

I always imagined exposition as Whiteboard's thing, but I can see why you thought of it that way.

Thanks for reminding me. But real talk, Ai is cute whether she's a transwoman or woman.

I'm still holding on to some hope that Samon-kun will do better. It's too perfect, I can't lose my demon summoning comedy that fast. ;_;

I have a question.

Who is this and should we trust them?

Also can anyone read German to tell us what this is?
Most likely a fake but if there's anyone here that speaks German it would be great if you can tell us what that post says.

Maria? Ai? Both are cute either way. Who can say no to a face like this?

That's the face of a woman that wants to do some sinister **** to your body.

I'm sure the first one to say no would certainly be Ryo-san himself.

Don't know the guy or German, but I'll se if Google Translate helps.

I know a user on here who speaks it, but I can't remember who it was...

I'm laughing at anyone who doesn't think that NX direct leak should be dismissed ASAP. Why? It's saying they'll show the NX on tuesday. Coincidentally that's the day for SM news, but here's what outright kills it. It means Nintendo's only going to confirm they'll talk about the NX 2 days in advance. You know how some game studios are saying 'get hype' for their games? Nintendo should do something like that for the announcement, as it's highly anticipated. If they would say "We'll talk about the NX in a direct next week" it would be more believable, as a week isn't nothing. Lots of people already anticipated are dying to know about it!2 days just isn't enough

Here's what Google says:
@ChikoLad
Google Translate said:
Since prolonged time already go to rumors that Nintendo wants veroffentichen details on the new console , codenamed NX in September 2016th If about time , and still knows almost no more details, see . But as we have just learned exclusively from a vertauenswurdigen source in the direct vicinity of Nintendo of Europe , it takes only a few days .

Nintendo is currently finalizing an output format Nintendo Direct and expect from us with high voltage Direct is then veroffenlicht unangekundigt to have a coarse uberraschungsmoment . Our Quekke has however we vetrraten that s should be at 16 o'clock if already on 6 September 2016th Three days so !

What do you think? Is a Direct output the correct media Darfur ? Do you believe that it really been that starts soon ? We sindd certainly very excited and keep you naturluich to date!
We are in for a High Voltage Direct!

To break it down first paragraph:

There has been many rumors and discussion about our new console the NX. We will finally be revealing it in September 16th! Then there's something about NOE helping them.

Second paragraph:

We are currently finalizing our direct and you can expect great things from it! We will be revealing this product on Tuesday September 6th 2016. Which is 3 days from now!

What do you think? Will this direct be good? Can you believe it's happening so soon? We are very excited to keep you up to date on the NX!

I'm laughing at anyone who doesn't think that NX direct leak should be dismissed ASAP. Why? It's saying they'll show the NX on tuesday. Coincidentally that's the day for SM news, but here's what outright kills it. It means Nintendo's only going to confirm they'll talk about the NX 2 days in advance.

Lots of people already anticipated are dying to know about it!2 days just isn't enough
Imagine Sun and Moon is compatible with the NX. So much money would be printed. And yeah, calling fake due to the basic sentence structure and it's to soon of a release date for this info, plus no one else has received this.

ReCore's coming out soon apparently. You remember ReCore, right? The game which boasted about having Metroid Prime devs and Keiji Inafune?


This is why marketing is important kiddos! And anime fans on prom night DO make better marketing than no marketing

I just watched a man commit career suicide at Pax 2016

Ouch
Between Colonial Marines, DN Forever and trying to directly compete with Blizzard's first new IP in years, it's little wonder he's in that state now.

Didn't gearbox make a sell for Battleborn that's 60% off and offered a free copy of Borderlands Pre Sequel? Honestly, Pitchford will need to go in the looney bin if he does at least 1 more dumb thing this year
Yeah someone made a video juxtaposing the pre-release hype with shots of bargin bins.

Oh you mean the game that got a new trailer just this week and is currently at Pax and has also been mentioned on numerous sites over the past month in spite of having to share with bigger titles from Microsoft like Killer Instinct, Gears of War 4, Forza Horizon 3 and Halo Wars 2?

....I just realised the implications of Ai.... I hadn't crossed my mind then that she was transgender.

And this is an anime from the early 2000s. In retrospect, I have no idea how Ai's introductory episode managed to be aired uncensored here back in 2008 (and it was dubbed, so the people involved knew exactly what they were doing) - This was way before the transgender was officially recognised in 2013.

I have to wonder where you look for gaming news if you can't find a site that's put up articles on it.
This is what you get when you put in recore on google search and select the news tab:
upload_2016-9-3_22-13-19.png

And that's scrolled down from all the Launch Trailer articles.

Huh. That's odd. I have friends interested and follow a few other forums and none of this ever came up.

I am really tempted about that Mario Sports Superstars game... Mario Tennis, Mario Golf, Mario Baseball, Mario Strikers, AND Mario Horse Racing in one neat package?!

Here's a challenge.
Without googling, name 3 of Battleborn's 25 characters.

Now think to yourself how many of Overwatch's 22 you know.

That should say numbers how much disparity there is in the successes.

I wanna feel bad for Pitchford but **** him


He specifically stole money from Sega over Aliens: Colonial Marines and took and use that budget for Borderlands 2 and in return that game went to garbage and hurt Alien Isolation's sales (a game that's really good)

Screw Gearbox, doesn't help that Battleborn is a flop and Borderlands went to ****

Spent the past hour and a half adding custom music to Sm4sh. Time well spent! Brought in a bunch of mystery dungeon tracks for the Temporal tower mod I have. I'll be able to play to some great tracks now!

Might go buff the FE stages with Fates music next.

Or if keeping in game play styles rather than presentation, how many LoL or DotA heroes you can name.

I don't know what is Battleborn... but I am somewhat familiar with Tracer (because of the feminists getting butthurt over the butt pose) and Roadhog (because of the bara art).

I mean.
That isn't as good to compare because they're both actual successes.
But yeah I could say dozens League champs and like 5 for DOTA 2.
I meant in comparison to Battleborn.
