A Sarcastic Gamer satirical look at the GameSpotGate controversy.
Gamers from around the world stormed the offices of Cnet’s Gamespot today, setting fires and destroying everything in sight. The small contigent of police on hand to maintain order were simply overrun by the sheer number of angry nerds.
“At first it was like one guy with a sign,” said Gerald Fulton, one of the officers dispatched to try and defuse the situation. “But within an hour there were thousands of them. They were chanting Gerstmann, Gerstmann, Gerstmann. Then in an instant, they began to stampede.”
Within minutes, smoke began to rise from the Gamespot offices, and the sound of breaking glass filled the streets. Looters were seen leaving the scene with hundreds of copies of Kane & Lynch: Dead Men.
“We would have tried to stop them, but it’s not like they were taking anything valuable,” said Fulton. “We were most concerned about the fire spreading from the Gamespot offices to the adjacent landfill. There are rare birds that inhabit that area, and it would have been a real shame if any of their habitat were to be damaged.”
We like to goof around at Sarcastic Gamer, but something we take very seriously is follow-through. With that said I just wanted to apologize for releasing this episode a day late. It’s a long story.
It’s another wierd show, as we’re still reeling from Alex’s absence (work related) and Dave was “live” from San Francisco at eh Kane and Lynch Community event. PacManPolarBear joined us from Canada, and we got a nice little interview with Eidos about Kane and Lynch: Dead Men.
Okay, the apologies are out of the way, and the excuses have been presented. Nothing left to do now but listen to Episode 16 of the Sarcastic Gamer Podcast, with Doc, Lono, and PMPB. Enjoy.
Here’s the rundown for Episode 16:
