hah worse…its the gamejew. he was stalking miyamoto with a guitar to play him a song. after he finally cornered him and made a total ass of himself, he proceeds to have an over-dramatic emotional breakdown that belonged on a soap opera.

completely pathetic.

Yes, it happened and I couldn’t believe it. GDC, from my stand point, was a complete joke this year. All these loud mouth fan boys, people dressed as robots, and people corning world famous developers to sing to them really made the GDC look like a freak show.

This isn’t E3 guys, there are plenty of other game shows where you can dress up and act like morons, let this one retain it’s dignity.

Ah ok, I missed this. I got so disgusted with all the ‘news’ coming out from GDC that I stopped reading it. The dude (gamejew) sounds like a genuine guy, I don’t think it’s all that bad. But overall, I agree that GDC was pretty much a freak show this year. I pretty much drove that point home during the podcast.

I just listened to 1up Yours take a steaming shite on Miyamoto’s keynote. I’m struggling to understand how people that get paid to write about this stuff can be missing the point so badly.

I like the comic. Wow that Mario guy is an idiot. I saw a video of him getting one of the first WIi’s on IGN. He seemed like a decent guy. But now, eugghh.
