Ep. 44 - Foot X Mouth

[Paul]

The thing about saying stupid things on the internet is that everyone can hear you.

[megor]

You forgot the ! in boom! during the credits

[Lord Hosk]

He does have a point about basketball, it doesn't relate to his sexually derogatory remarks, but I wouldn't watch basketball played with a football.

[pokute]

Was there water on the lens?

[phlip]

Wow. I'd heard the first part of that quote, but not the basketball/football part... What a complete dickbag.

[plummeting_sloth]

A dear friend of mine was the journalist on the end of similar blast from Jaffe, which was the previous "Rather embarrassingly sexist thing said by a video game person" episode to this one. While I'm quite glad people are jumping on this thing, I really hope attention paid to this is not in the form of "Whelp, that' taken care of. Clearly the fighting game community was the source of all the problems."

[Tapir12]

Wow, that guy sounds horrible.

And apparently I really need to watch Blade Runner.

[Season's Beatings]

Its a real shame that mainstream media is going to have such a plethora of soundbites from this ignorant fuck. We will never see any of the gaming media tearing into this guy on Fox News.

[Geoff_B]

That section about GAME was probably the greatest 60 seconds or so that has ever been put onto a Checkpoint (completely non-biased and not irritated in the least about my Mass Effect 3 pre-order)!

And Blade Runner wasn't bad but I don't think it lives up to the legend that has grown up around it.

[Darkobra]

That dick has no right considering himself part of the Street Fighter community.

In fact, I'm willing to bet he's a motherfucking Sagat fireball spammer or just an outright teleport bullshitting Dhalsim player who's a master of keep away! Works fine in the bronze leagues, I'd imagine!

[Cybertrash]

Kathleen's rant == Win.

[WAYF]

Kathleen, your rant will undoubtedly go down as one of the finest moments in CheckPoint history. Superbly said.

Unfortunately, the ignorant tend to have the louder, more memorable voices than reasonable people.

[Elomin Sha]

When I saw the GAME logo pop up I was oooo.
Then the punchline of Amazon UK had me chuckling and forgetting about the possibility of losing my job for a few minutes. I told the joke at work today and the guys had a good laugh too.

[Gap Filler]

Ah, Game. Stay classy.
