Social Swamp's Social Thread 3 - And now, the end is near, and so I face the final curtain...

[Arcturian]

God, Joel from Vinesause's Youtube account was hacked into, and things aren't looking good.

Damn, that sucks. Got any more info?

 

[Burb]

Nah. I don't hate myself. I never played it. I just happened to find a game cart of the SNES version in the closet and then suddenly, curiosity just sprung up. Is it really as bad as they say?

I've never played Bubsy 3D, but I've never heard anyone say something positive about it with sincerity.

Even Sonic '06 has some apologists.

 

[LIQUID12A]

I feel betrayed Burb
How could you say such things?

It's just an opinion.

It's like if I got offended at someone saying that Prime Hunters is a crap game when I consider it to be one of the DS' better games. Really no different than your...love, per se, for W101.

Imagin--
No, I'm just going to show you instead
Go to 11:50 and you'll see for yourself

Thank you for the link. I shall check it out

 

[NintenZ]

Damn, that sucks. Got any more info?

The hacker's name was Towel, and his most recent video showed him deleting some of Joel's videos.

I'm gonna assume you don't know that it was a joke

Wait, what? Are you serious? Damn. I hope Joel gets his account back.

 

[NintenZ]

I'd post a link here, but I wouldn't want to give the hacker anymore attention.

 

[LIQUID12A]

To be fair, Burb responded the same way.

Subtlety doesn't translate well in text regardless.

 

[DeathFox137]

Okay, fair enough. I understand.

 

[Arcturian]

I just checked Joel's channel, and all of his videos have been removed and replaced with this Towel guy's videos.

This sucks, Joel is one of the few lets players I actually enjoy. Hopefully he can bounce back from this.

 

[DeathFox137]

I just saw Towel's video. What makes him have the right to delete Joel's videos? Gosh, I hope Joel claims his channel back ASAP.

 

[NintenZ]

I wonder how this even happened to Joel?

 

[SegaNintendoUbisoft]

Never really watched Vinesauce, but I definitely feel bad for Joel and his fans. I hope they get this all solved.

 

[Naoshi]

Aw, I love Joel Hope they get it solved

 

[NintenZ]

These were some of my favorite videos from him.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

I never cared for this guy, but it sucks having this happen because of a spineless towel

 

[NintenZ]

No, it was a guy who called himself Towel.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

No, it was a guy who called himself Towel.

Said guy is a child

 

[NintenZ]

Said guy is a child

I honestly couldn't tell.

 

[AreJay25]

It's worth mentioning that all of Joel's videos have been backed up. So that's taken care of.

Still a crappy situation, nonetheless.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Aw yus pranks

 

[Chrono.]

Aw yus pranks

Goddamn it

 

[NintenZ]

Aw yus pranks

You can't get me, I'm premium!

 

[DeathFox137]

I was wondering about Towel. Is he some sort of troll in anyway? Or did he have anything personal with Joel as of late?

 

[NintenZ]

He's from 4Chan I believe.

What kind of sorcery is this!?
Only spiders should know of these spells

[Geno Boost]

Simon Belmont is quite obviously never going to happen, but Geno is sort of on a tier of his own.

Geno's a third party character representing a series that's already got the most reps of any series in SSB4, is no longer used within that series, and has a ton of other more popular and recognizable characters that would (and should) take priority over him. The company that owns him also has a multitude of iconic games and characters that would likely be prioritized over Geno as well.

Simon's biggest issue is that he comes from Konami. There's basically no chance of him getting in over Snake, so his only shot would be if they were to pull a Capcom with them and give multiple Konami franchises representation.

All in all, there's more obstacles blocking Geno's entry than there are ones blocking Simon's. In fact, Geno has pretty much every problem Simon does, plus more.

Spoiler

There is huge difference between Geno and other 3rd party characters, Geno represent Nintendo history rather than square Enix history and smash is about "Nintendo celebraties" and SMRPG is a part of it and it's important in Nintendo history, Being iconic is not everything, plus he can represent the Mario RPGs seires since SMRPG started everything and was the main reason why both Mario paper and Mario and luigi RPGs seires exists, Geno also represent Nintendo and square teaming up and working together for the first time in SMRPG.

Dude he hasn't even appeared in a game for years.

[MasterofMonster]

So many Premium people nowdays. But I have managed to survive. That must mean they all love me. Or my avatar is too attractive for them to dare to. :3

So, it seems the rarer I am on this site, the better it works when I AM here. Weird.

 

[Substitution]

I just want to know why. I mean, aren't there better things to do than screw with someone's channel?
And either way they'll get back on their feet, so it's not like anyone is hurt from this. So what was the point?

 

[Godzillathewonderdog]

These were some of my favorite videos from him.

Well these are from Vinny, not Joel.

You underestimate some people. They will literally do anything to get attention. Even if it's only for a short period of time.

 

[Z25]

They finally did a third one:

I'm not underestimating people, I just like to have hope in humanity.

Oh and here:

Best part of the video.

 

[Oasis Dealer]

To explain the situation with Joel, supposedly he clicked a malware link which then got his password leaked. This guy took the opportunity to take it, and now we're left with the end result. Another one of the streamers, KY, was also hacked via his Twitch. I believe he started banning people on Vinny's stream. They all know of the problem and are trying to fix it.

It sucks, and I hope they can fix it soon. The Vinesauce crew are fantastic people and I love the videos I've seen from some of them. This is the first I've seen someone get their channel hacked and its a weird experience.

 

[AreJay25]

Perhaps underestimating wasn't the right word. Still, some people are really just that petty. To them, this IS one of the best things they can do.

Damn, that's terrible, I hope they can resolve this issue soon.
