Those five matches will go down as some of the mp matches I've ever played. Simply epic!  BTW, that Super Badass Goliath, had a hard on for you, Leo.

Don't they all...?

BTW... now we have to find Moxxxi's Beast version of the Slaughterhouse and take THAT on!!

Stop having fun without me!

So is everyone getting Halo 4?

Holy crap! I feel like lighting up a cigarette in bed after the gaming day I had today, Not one. Not two. Not even three, but FOUR OUSTANDING games!!

XCOM is Strategy heaven, on a CONSOLE!?

Dishonored is going to go down in history as one of THOSE games.

Code of Princess pays such homage to Guardian Heroes... in 3D... it's like having a Saturn in my pocket... in 3D!! Did I mention THE primary Street Fighter artist developed the characters... in 3D?

Retro City Rampage has references to ALL of the great NES blockbusters... In the first three minutes, you'll see the Duck Hunt dog, the Mega Man 2 building scroll and an AWESOME cinematic ripped STRAIGHT from the ending of Super Mario Bros. 2 ! ! !

HELL, Travo and I even beat the arena battle we have been working on for over a week on top of it all!

WHAT. A. DAY!!

You played KOTOR for 1.1 million hours, Aspro?! Damn, you hardcore!

I'll most definitely be getting Halo 4 on day 1.

You did not have to answer me. I know exactly what kind of games you will be getting.

She wipes them off.

Future Edge/PC Gamer writer says they alter reviews, more

Guys, reeeeed this shit.

With twitter, the question the tweet is replying to is at the end:

Nintendo “@DuncanSkuse: @RichStanton Who was best/worst of the 3 console makers?”

Nintendo - flawless. Early access, no interest in the score. “@MDKII: @RichStanton Any other examples of good PR you’ve dealt with?”

Capcom, for example, push for scores - but in the right way“ What I mean by that is they’d send you the game early, with meganotes to ensure you ‘got it’. Works for me. Good PR. @cgentero: @RichStanton Were Japanese publishers just as willing to buy scores?

I know, on OXM 360's first issue, the Microsoft games were scored high by management, but it never happened again.

Dan Griliopoulos @GriddleOctopus


@richstanton be fair Rich, not everyone. Not PC Gamer, in my time, nor PC Format. & we got PR shit on OXM for 'underscoring' exclusives

Phone call asking for my opinion on a sex sim “@helloimandrew: @RichStanton strangest bit of reader mail you've ever seen”

Disgusting “@ShaneMulcahy: @RichStanton Are the loos hygienic?”

Probably LA Noire “@ravenshaw: @RichStanton Worst game to get a 9/90+ score due to 'pressure'?”

Worth mentioning that after CVG's crass misconduct Future sent around an internal email. But me? The actual freelancer? Who gives a shit.

Yes. Then lost 2/3rds of their traffic! Idiots. “@iambeano: @RichStanton Did Future think the EDGE forum community was a waste of time?”

CVG. They deliberately misquote devs, and claim it’s a mistake after the hits “@DilutedDante: @RichStanton worst games mag/site?”

Not my time, but apparently it was genuine - should’ve been 8 “@gamesasylum: @RichStanton Was the EDGE 6/10 for GTA III really a mistake?”

Totally “@zappdos: @RichStanton was that shit common, or was that a one off? Review scores linked to ads in any way?

Not me, because Edge was left alone, but i’ve seen it “@DilutedDante: @RichStanton has anyone told you to score a game a certain way?”

Yes “@The_Reviewist: @RichStanton Ever had your arm lent on to up or down a score?”

I should make clear that Future’s staff, the people who work for them, are 95% awesome. But the company has a fucked culture.

Let’s have a story about the kind of behaviour Future indulge in. I once went to Valve. Seattle! Gabe! Exciting! PC Gamer asked me to take some photos of something very specific. A wall of concept art. I asked permission, and did so.Valve went nuts. This wasn’t approved! Do you know what PC Gamer’s editor, Tim Edwards, did? He denied I had ever been asked to do it. Said PCG were merely the innocent recipient. Lied, in other words. Cunt.

I mean, this is a company that’s had a five year pay freeze on its junior staff, while increasing the pay of its top people by 10% this year

I regret every year of my life spent there, making managers and ad men rich “@Matt_J_Barr: @RichStanton Can you get me a job there please?”

TONS MORE STUFF AT THE LINK

I guess Chris Scullion (@scully188 knows who he's referring to: Quote: @RichStanton Well I'm glad someone watched it. There was nothing creepy about it, it was a public vid & I was in a relationship at the time. Quote: @RichStanton And I'm scratching my head trying to think of an example of me asking a girl if she had a boyfriend. Sounds like exaggeration. Quote: @RichStanton In short, I'd appreciate if you didn't make false and uneducated accusations about videos that are nearly six years old.

Reviews conspiracy, shady reviews? Editorial pressure to up scores? Official mags pressure to score exclusives higher? Management reviewing 360 launch games? Ads influencing scores? Bullying PR from Rockstar? Er....... Godmode, Vader, Archie? Have at it.
