Time for more public shaming. Last night, I've started to get fed up with this bullshit from idiots on the TGN Twitter feed. People being completely incapable of reading or seeing whom they're begging for a partnership with.

It started with #1, who somehow included both us and the actual TGN he was meant to Tweet at in the same damn message. His was the last of perhaps three new mentions about partnerships I received in a span of 10 minutes, his was merely the straw that broke the camel's back, so to speak.

That prompted #2 from me.

I went away for a bit, watched some TV and came back to see the three #3's you see there as a response.

Short of outright calling them dipshits, especially the "MinecraftOMfG" whom seems to think that places like TGNTV and Machinima pull the money out of their asses to pay their "partners" and that AdSense isn't it, I decided to keep it vague. Hence, #4.

I'm already in bed by the time the idiot at #5 shows up to try and bust my balls for not being "Professional". I'm one guy busting my ass on a website on a daily basis. I don't get paid. I'm not TGN.TV as he probably still thinks I am. There's really only so much I can take before I want to back hand idiots like him into next year. I'm as much a "professional" as Kotaku is a gaming news site. If this were a real job, with millions of visitors, etc. then sure, I know how and when to be professional. Oh, but this guy...

My reply is #6.

His replies while I'm sleeping show up at #7 and then #8. I'd like to think that he received my final 'fuck you' without the "fuck you" to him at #9, but will be unable to bitch about it since I went ahead and blocked him.

And that guy between 5 and 6... Oh, that really pissed me off, especially after the last few Tweets I made, dude had balls to make that Tweet to us.

[CptainCrunch]

A lot of dumb people out there. They should boycotte TGN.TV for your remarks XD

I like the "I am a fans" guy. You should look into his offer.

[jimykx]

That gave me some good laughs xD.

Enjoy some more from the biggest idiot to grace our presence since, well, no, he's probably the biggest idiot we've had so far!

From this (read from top to bottom):

(Read from bottom to top) I respond on my personal Twitter to him, because I'd like to keep this kind of language and interaction off of the official TGN account:

This guy does videos about Madden NFL football and he's trying to call me out? Hahaha! Oh, that's rich. We have more visitors to our site when our database is fucked than he gets in a month.

And then he's trying to compare us to IGN? Am... am I supposed to care? Is that really supposed to be something that gets me mad? "You aren't IGN!" is more of a compliment than anything.

I've since stopped addressing any remarks to him but he is still going off on me on Twitter. It'd be funny if he weren't so terribly sad... Ah hell, it's still damn funny!

Oh no, youre not bought out by major corporations designed to lie to your fanbase to sell their stuff.

POOR ZIPS! If only you sold out long ago, you could have been someone on someones bigger payroll.

BF3 Tank Destroyed

pick your story!

1. BF3 soldier C4's the tank from behind then gets up and runs away.

2. Engineer is repairing tank when it gets destroyed. He crawls out from underneath and is like WTF!

I know, right! Like I said before, these people are getting pissed at me because they're too damned stupid to read a few words to figure out we aren't the TGN they're looking for. And if that's the kind of crowd the other TGN is attracting, I honestly think we're better off without some of them. Because seriously, if you're going to beg for a partnership, which in this case is akin to begging for a job from a potential employer, don't you think you should at least beg to the right company or boss?

It's like kicking down the door of a K-Mart, your hair a mess, your mustard stained shirt half-tucked into your ripped up jorts, while rocking the socks with sandals footwear, and yelling to the shocked teen cashier who works there part time while attending high school, "GIVE ME A JOB WITH VIDEO GAMES, GABE NEWELL!" After which you fall to the ground and begin choking on your own drool because you simultaneously forgot how to both swallow and breath like a normal, half-way intelligent human being.

That is... that's essentially what these people are doing. More or less.

Signa: 2.

All I can say about that is WTF??!?!?!

Wow, thats a great video. I dont know if its either of those stories. It almost seems like the engine exploded and caused the ordinance inside to blow, which doesnt seem right to me with tank design (not that I am a tank designing expert) but in any case, I dont see how that guy ran off.
