IGN and Gamespy merger

They're omfgh4dc0r3. You expected a more civil attitude from them?

No, this is exactly what I expected. They couldn't even do their recent toys for tots thing without throwing out some insults in the process. I was just answering Johnpv's question.

Penny-Arcade raised 62,000 dollars for the tots thus far. They don't need Gamespy anymore and they're at their best when they're open about how they feel. Penny-Arcade stepping on toes is Penny-Arcade at its finest hour.

[Sl1p]

anyway i thought the PA guys were tight with Gamespy didnt they used to do comics for Gamespy?

or maybe im remembering wrong

Dude, the Wonder Twins were all about the rings.

Gabe's most recent news post explains the PA/Gamespy connection, I guess:

I actually worked for Gamespy for about a year. This was a while ago but every once in a while you can still see some of my artwork on the site. It’s true that I think the company is sort of floundering right now, but while I was there I met some really cool people. One of my Gamespy friends was another artist I worked with. A very talented guy named Paul Searles. After getting laid off from Gamespy around the same time I did, he went on to start his own computer company.

There you have it... heh, if Gamespy had laid me off I wouldn't feel any obligation to speak nicely of them either, personally.

He was never an employee afaik, so I don't know what he's on about. (I thought he was a freelance art contractor who got too busy for us.) Anyway, whatev.

I always felt sorry for the water-based Wondertwin. He got ripped off when they were handing out powers. :/

Maybe you don't know everything. (not trying to be offensive, although I worded it so)

gabe and tycho are pricks, but they always have been picky bastards and will always be picky bastards.
