SOE Partnership w/ TotalBiscuit

[KTNApollo]

Planetside 2 - Partnership & E3 Broadcast - YouTube

Exciting news!

[Serpent]

I KNOW I KNOW KJLDS:GKJFGWL:KRHSTGL:CKBJHWL:FTKGJDGL:KHJRF:LIDHJ KGVO:KLFD<JRLWSKJGF

I'm watching it now just found it :D

[DayOne]

TB + Higby stream!!! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

[KTNApollo]

I KNOW I KNOW KJLDS:GKJFGWL:KRHSTGL:CKBJHWL:FTKGJDGL:KHJRF:LIDHJ KGVO:KLFD<JRLWSKJGF

I'm watching it now just found it :D

Might I say the Galaxy looks A M A Z I N G! Handles as you'd expect, yet still capable of making some sharp turns.

[Zulthus]

Awesome news! Unfortunately it doesn't sound like we'll be participating in the massive battle at E3 :(

[LostAlgorithm]

SOE is really, really playing their cards right with advertising this time around. They're quite lucky to have TB as a fan and player of the original game. The original Planetside was simply planting the seeds for what will be an absolute monster of an advertising scheme this time around.

[Graywolves]

I'm too jealous.

[Purple]

wow this is great. also LOVE that Gal!

[KTNApollo]

wow this is great. also LOVE that Gal!

The way the tail fins compress when you punch the afterburners...SO GOOD! They're really paying attention to details.

[Raymac]

Well this should be pretty damn awesome.

[NCLynx]

The galaxy looks freakin sweet. Can't wait to watch the livestream, 7 day countdown.

[Malorn]

I'm really stoked to see this news. To me the biggest failure of PS1 was not enough good marketing and TB does a great job casting. I have greatly enjoyed his videos and am glad to see we'll be getting a lot more of them. More PS2 for us, more good advertising for them. For a game in Alpha it looks absolutely amazing. The PS2 team has a lot to be proud of and I'm happy to see it getting the attention it deserves.

This is a game that will redefine the MMO genre and put SOE back on the map as a leader in online gaming. They're doing all the right steps with it.

[CrystalViolet]

This is really quite genious. Props guys, can't wait to see the stream.

[Robotix]

So many engines on that Galaxy. So awesome.

Oh, and 2 things I noticed.
1) Galaxy carries 12. 1 Pilot, 4 Gunners, 7 Passengers.
2) TB appeared to be flying while as a Heavy Assault. Might be changed during beta, though.

[DirtyBird]

Fantastic. :thumbsup:

[Johari]

Can't wait to see all the cool stuff from E3.

[KTNApollo]

He's using admin commands, so it could be due to that.

[Robotix]

He's using admin commands, so it could be due to that.

That's possible as well, though I didn't see him using any admin commands when he hopped in at the beginning of the vid.

[KTNApollo]

That's possible as well, though I didn't see him using any admin commands when he hopped in at the beginning of the vid.

I just assume he is because he was in all of his other videos.

[Burnzblood]

Looking forward to all the E3 awesomeness!!!

[GunslingerX]

Just as I was dozing off they go and put this video up... I got work in the morning and this stuff really screws with my sleeping pattern! Air combat looks amazing! :thumbsup: Can't wait for E3 footage and the b word!

[lMABl]

Just sub'd to ToltalBiscuit, cant wait for E3. :D

[SKYeXile]

Lets not give be giving them too much feedback though eh? We don't want to lobotomise another game here.

[ninjaturtlesoup]

If you didn't already notice, this video shows health regen for aircraft. It's about a 15sec delay from his first hit at 0:30.

[Bags]

We've seen it as an option before.

[capiqu]

I saw that coming from my first view of Total Biscuit's Night Ops video.

[CrystalViolet]

Just noticed the statement "100 plus people, from the sony offices, all over the place." hmmmmm......

[Zulthus]

Just noticed the statement "100 plus people, from the sony offices all over the place." hmmmmm......

Fixed.

[SKYeXile]

Fixed.

If you didn't already notice, this video shows health regen for aircraft. It's about a 15sec delay from his first hit at 0:30.

Regening vehicle health is a side-grade in exchange for flares or the ability to bail out. It was talked about in the loverator video.

Personally, i don't mind one bit. If they are healing in the air, all that means is that killing them guarantees the kill

[PeteHMB]

Gives me a couple more weeks to refine + order my new rig build :D

you put that comma back or I 'll Lasher you in the back, grief points be damned.

Commas can make all the difference sometimes, between been something glorious and something just plain terrible.

[WellWisherELF]

I realize this only means more exposure for the game, but I really despise TB as the "face" of PS2. He jumps ship whenever the current flavor of the month game starts to wane in popularity. He then seeks out the next most hyped game and tries to be the first to cover it for maximum youtube hits/partnership $. (See: WoW, LoL, DCUO, SC2, SW:TOR, GW2)

But I'll have to live with it if it means more PS2 coverage

[MgFalcon]

I like that footage of the Gal - sadly I don't know if i'll be flying her much in PS2, only time will tell... :(

In other news it would be great to have TB post here when the coverage will start and end.

oh no, you have it all wrong, he stuck with PS1 for awhile and helped with getting all sorts of things changed and broken...then quickly left the game when the all changes made it terrible.

"oh man look at this guy surging, i couldn't even hit him with my jackhammer" fix it, fix it, fix it, fix it, fix it, fix it.

[Razicator]

I've always wondered, why can't you just use a colon in the place of the oxford comma? If you did mean that jfk and stalin were strippers, you can just write "...the strippers: jfk and stalin," couldn't you? This would mean that any sentence without the oxford comma and without a colon would just imply a list., not an adjective describing the following things.

[Red Beard]

Ive never heard of him before this month, but his love for PS1 is obviously surpassed by his desire for his own interests after watching him go after non profit dev team fan. He has a right to do that, but if I was SOE, I would part ways with him after the fan base is established.

I'm sure someone will rise prior or just after launch that becomes the main face for PS2.

TB does too many things to be the face of a game. IMO.

We'll see what the future holds. For now I'm just happy for the game becoming more popular.

[TotalBiscuit]

Lol at the buttmad surgile junkies. Funny how the k/d plumetted when they couldn't exploit netcode problems to get free kills.

[Fuse]

after watching him go after non profit dev team fan.

Sorry, honest curiosity, I don't have a clue what you're talking about. Can you clarify this statement or provide a link?

[Serpent]

Might I say the Galaxy looks A M A Z I N G! Handles as you'd expect, yet still capable of making some sharp turns.

Galaxy = Larger Osprey (if you don't know what that is look it up ^^ )

[SKYeXile]

I wasn't aware Planetside tracked deaths.

[TotalBiscuit]

I wasn't aware Planetside tracked deaths.

I wasn't aware it was possible to hold a grudge over a videogame for almost a decade but hey, the more you know.

[Fuse]

I wasn't aware Planetside tracked deaths.

So when I'm playing and the session stats show something like 10/7, what do those numbers mean?

[Bags]

Yay, more exposure and more footage.


Can we um, not argue like 5 year olds in a TB thread just this once?

[SKYeXile]

So when I'm playing and the session stats show something like 10/7, what do those numbers mean?

Absolutely Nothing, because that wasn't in game when surgile was and they're not displayed publicly.

My point was, that TB was talking out his ass, once again. The surgiles Dreamer and loOped, fucked people up after the surge nerf just as much as before.

[Hamma]

SOE has offices in more than just San Diego btw guys ;)

[MgFalcon]

Yay, more exposure and more footage.


Can we um, not argue like 5 year olds in a TB thread just this once?

Seriously, let's all just be friends and start shooting at each other instead of arguing :D (Clearly VS will win... just saying!)

[Hamma]

Also yes - enough with the bickering. More promotion for PlanetSide 2 can only be a good thing.

[Graywolves]

SOE has offices in more than just San Diego btw guys ;)

Do they have a location in Pennsylvania? If so...I have an adventure ahead of me...

[Fuse]

Face behind the videos doesn't matter a whole lot, I just want quality videos. Moar. Moar maor maor. *rebel yell*

[Warborn]

It will be weird hearing TotalBiscuit do his hokey radio voice next to Higby just talking like a normal person. Or maybe Higby will do his best radio voice? Either way more information is cool. Great. Okay.

[Zulthus]

Dude, I think you need to watch some MLP, study the magic of friendship, and chill the hell out. Stop taking every comment as some sort of personal attack. :huh:

You'll just have to live with it because that's pretty much how everyone on this website is ;)

[Hyiero]

Can't wait to be there and destroy some NC and VS scum :P

[Dreamcast]

Why is total biscuit famous?


I just see him do videos, and his commentary is allright but did he become famous just for doing videos or did he do some special video or something that made him famous?


Im just wondering because he gets way too much views for a guy who just plays games and talks.

He's famous? I think that's news to most people, cuz they've never heard of him. Not even the majority of gamers know the name... (No offense, TB.)

There's a guy on Youtube named 'Tobuscus', I think he has 1.7 million subscribers on his main channel, 1 million on his gaming channel and half a million on a third, and there's a channel named Smosh that I think has around ~4.5 million subs now. Imagine the coverage we'd get from big names like them.

[capiqu]

SOE has offices in more than just San Diego btw guys ;)

That's right. Darnations, for a second I thought it would be the 12 booths at E3, the 50 or so at Soe in San Diego and a lucky 50 Planetside veteran players. :(

[Toppopia]

He's famous? I think that's news to most people, cuz they've never heard of him. Not even the majority of gamers know the name... (No offense, TB.)

Sorry for my ignorance, but I had actually never heard of him till i watched a video on this website like 3 weeks ago that had him commentating.

Even if TotalBiscuit had 10 subscribers, thats still 10 new people being introduced to the glory of Planetside 2!!

So any publicity is good. hmmm.... what if someone starts doing graffiti of Planetside 2 art work? that would get publicity, maybe not good publicity but people would notice. :p

Apparently too many of us give our lives to these people, :lol:

All my friends online know who he is.

Some of them don't like him.

I was thinking of painting the Statue Of Liberty IN TR colors.

[ArcIyte]

Perfect example of PSU thread (de)evolution here

"Coverage for PlanetSide 2? Let's flame the guy because I couldn't surge with heavy assault 6 years ago"

[TotalBiscuit]

All my friends online know who he is.

Some of them don't like him.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQf-zYn5TJE#t=0m19s :lol:

[RNFB]

TB must have played a really, REALLY old build if the game will be ready for E3. I wouldn't dare let the public play a game with such broken animations and gameplay.

[Toppopia]

Agreed.

If Total Biscuit runs around attacking people like this we dont need him...

[Red Beard]

Noob question: Was Higby involved in the development of the first game?

[Goku]

That I don't know. His history goes back all the way to 2001 according to this (http://www.linkedin.com/in/higby?_mSplash=1) at SOE. I guess its possible he at least did something. I doubt it was high level though.

[Jinxsey]

About time we got some right thinking, hard working, law abiding, right thinking, daily mail reading, upstanding, right thinking Terran views and opinions expressed in an unbiased way. That filthy insurgent Higsby and his NC minions pedding their terrorist propoganda have had the spotlight quite enough.

New players could even get the idea that playing NC was in some way to be encouraged... I... I shudder even thinking about it. Filthy smurfs.

I Really hope TB makes an outfit and there better be top hats!

Awesome! Good job SOE this game is going to steal the market. Well played PS2 team well played

[Gogita]

The Galaxy needs more engines!!!!

[RedKnights]

Not sure TB is the right way to promote Planetside, he certainly doesn't seem to play well with others, but you can't say no to a livestream at E3 should be a blast!

Oppressive British TR VS The Freedom-Loving American NC
TB VS Higby

Promote it all grudge/deathmatch-like. :D

[ExplodingSilver]

a metric tonne of footage next week, I cant wait

You ... Do know TB Lives in the USA right? The same USA Who denied him from seeing his family for 2 years... if anything It be like the Freedom loving NC total Biscuit Vs The Oppressive Americans TR..

And being an American I feel it a right turn oh phrase.

[Raka Maru]

I like TB's videos, he's well informed and loves Planetside, and I mean passionately. Got to confess, I never heard of him or knew it was him if I watched any of his videos before. My son did know him however. I'm now subscribed to his channel.

Good job TB, and please keep the PS videos flowing!

Thanks.

[Satexios]

Nice footage as always, but am I the only one who thinks the galaxy lift-off is bit quick? He gets inside and with one little push he is up in the air.

Would expect it to take some time like the liberator to get the aircraft up in the air?

i wouldn't pay much attention to physics at this stage.

[Dachannien]

Noob question: Was Higby involved in the development of the first game?

It looks like he wasn't. MobyGames has a list of Higby's credits (http://www.mobygames.com/developer/sheet/view/developerId,104403/) as well as the published credits for Planetside (http://www.mobygames.com/game/windows/planetside/credits), and the two don't intersect.

[sylphaen]

PSU: where PVP launches before release.
:rofl:

No but seriously guys, whether you like TB or not, cut him some slack. For PS2, he's just been doing coverage so far.

Good to know about E3 ! It will be nice to get live news from there.

Edit: and the way we can feel the weight when that galaxy turns is awesome ! :thumbsup:

[StraitDumpinSMF]

Lol at the buttmad surgile junkies. Funny how the k/d plumetted when they couldn't exploit netcode problems to get free kills.

I'm more of the buttmad... "rexo slow fatty"

Hey TB, you gotta realize that nerfing surge changed everyone's game not just the surge exploiters you refer to or their victims. I was a victim of it, and I can still say the the pre-surge nerf days were some of the best times ever if not the best. I ran rexo.

I highly disliked the surge nerf because I found that it slowed the games pace down at least twofold. The game was excitingly fast paced prior to, and even though I didn't miss the warpers killing me, I found that as a REXO grunt I was less effective in general. I preferred the fast pace it had before.

To add to that, a number of people gave up on PS1 during this time. Nobody likes seeing active numbers drop from their in game Outfit list, or saying "bye" to cool gaming friends.

The surge nerf left a bruise on most of the PS community in some form or another. Sadly, it is known that you were in favor of the nerf, and people love to blame guilt upon association. *cough-danb-banning-half-of-SMF-for-minor-infractions-like-saying-the-portmaneau-"mangina"-in-/c-cough*

Anyway, I'll try and cloaker infiltrate E3 again. I'll see you there but you wont see me.

Will people give it a rest already, SOE get TB on bored and he reaches out and shoves the game we love in hundreds of thousands if not a million gamers faces and all you people can do is bitch and moan.

I have some info totalbiscuit was not the only person that moaned and got stuff nerfed and not the only person to bitch about surgile.

Go it up and enjoy the FREE mass publicity by a guy that pretty much says what ever he wants.

[xXGumpXX]

is there a ceiling so aircraft can only fly to a maximum height like in the original 400 feet . I would like to know this as i would like to know if it will balance the game out with AA units like the lightning and AA max units etc

[Alderego]

Oppressive British TR VS The Freedom-Loving American NC
TB VS Higby

Promote it all grudge/deathmatch-like. :D

Well, I wouldn't call him oppresive, but it will indeed be fun to see him and highby together in a cast (which hopefully will lead to some sort of bickering over sides and maybe even a shoot-out?)

*gets his tophat and popcorn*

anybody else want some?

Anyway, can't wait till next week :)

[ZeroOneZero]

I'm looking forward to seeing some feedback from players who will be attending E3 and trying out PlanetSide 2 (bastards :(). The more details, the better. Thanks TB for the awesome coverage.

I don't think I've said it yet, but I really love the animations on the Galaxy. That's one sexy rear end.

[Meecrob]

I like to see that the gal can take a little punishment. (like flying into a mountain :rolleyes:) All i know is, im never getting into a gal that TB is flying. partly because he's a bad pilot, and mainly because im NC and will be shooting his opressive TR ass :D.

Looking forward to what E3 will bring.

[UKSwiFT]

Glad to see the partnership, should be good for everyone involved!

Even more glad to see the Galaxy taking a pounding and shrugging it off. The handling is just as I would of expected too. Good sign of things to come.

Like.

Not sure what i'll end up playing as but I'm going to give specialising as an NC galaxy pilot a shot. Hop aboard comrade!

[Hamma]

This thread has disappointed me. Coverage is coverage guys - be happy PlanetSide 2 is getting the coverage it deserves this time around and quit with the personal attacks and foolishness.

This community is better than that and it's time some of you started acting like it.

[DarkFable]

I am kinda suprised by the TB bashing o.o I have been watching his videos for a good 8 months now, hes in my list of various gaming related channels. He's not oppressive as far as I can tell, but hes NOT a reviewer. His channel is his own personal opinions on games, but he does try to be fair. As for:

[quote=WellWisherELF;703699]He jumps ship whenever the current flavor of the month game starts to wane in popularity. He then seeks out the next most hyped game and tries to be the first to cover it for maximum youtube hits/partnership $. (See: WoW, LoL, DCUO, SC2, SW:TOR, GW2)

Well you obviously haven;t watched much of him >.>" As I said he just does his own thing, and he drops games he loses interest in or ones he believes he can't make anymore quality content of. That is something he has stated time and time again in lots of his videos, he refuses to put low quality videos up. I just know he has lots more footage of PS2 but hes not showing it cause he thinks the quality isn;t up to scratch. TB is a great gaming commentator, and he has rather in depth and interesting opinions on many games. Some of his opinions I hate with a vengeance, but hey I ain't a fanboying sheep who worships one persons opinion. But I think he's a great person to offer coverage of PS2, especially cause he is part of TGS (The Game Station) which is a gaming channel group similar to Machinma, just less.....garbage randomness. Cause hes on that, many people from lots of different channels view him. That's potentially a few million people seeing his coverage.

This thread has disappointed me. Coverage is coverage guys - be happy PlanetSide 2 is getting the coverage it deserves this time around and quit with the personal attacks and foolishness.

This community is better than that and it's time some of you started acting like it.
QFT!

The more that hear about this great game, from whomever, and decide to play it then the better it will be for all of us.
Get the word out.

[Alderego]

I agree, less TB bashing, more poking Hamma for the Highby interview!
Or did you all forget he still has that hidden somewhere? :o

I will be completely honest, in the last few months the amount of bickering and name calling on this forum seems to have escalated. That is a damn shame too, as the Planetside community has almost always been a fairly good one; hell we couldn't afford not to be with our beloved game basically ignored for almost 8 years.

It's time to get over the petty arguments and personal issues, you can swallow your pride for one second guys and just agree to disagree. Who really wants the kind of hate and outright bashing of others to be seen as the norm in this community? Frankly, I dont.

As to the announcement, it is good to see Planetside2 getting all the marketing and hype that Planetside didn't get. Here's hoping it pays off and this time around the Sony suits realize what potential this game has to not only push the MMOFPS genre forward but also to make SoE the main force in the MMO business.

+1 good post.

Just think when Beta starts people will have nothing to yell at eachother about. At least until the NDA is lifted. :lol:

Baller.

I am seriously enjoying the amount of publicity his videos are generating.

[MrBloodworth]

While its great to hear this news. And i feel TB is an upstanding guy ( Played PS1 with him, that's why his opinion means more than some on this forum ) and he is possibly the best spokesmen for this title. I want to comment on that video.

That Galaxy was auto-repairing in mid air ( 00:30 ). Also, the popping in/out annoys me to no end and looks cheap.

[DxC]

Enjoying the vids and any press is good press getting the word out is great also more people the better! its better than nothing and just say in the dark twiddling ones thumbs waiting for beta or release

[waldizzo]

This is pretty amazing news. Live streaming of a 100+ person Planetside 2 battle at E3. A major stepping stone in terms of the game's progression. This is the start of what we've all been waiting many, many years for.

The Planetside community and these forums are about to explode with new users. We complain about "COD kids" and how their actions are sub par. Let us not encourage that behavior by participating in the same kind of activity which we all despise. We, the veterans of the community, are the ones that set the expectation. We set the example of what is acceptable and what is not.

[MrBloodworth]

So when I'm playing and the session stats show something like 10/7, what do those numbers mean?

That was added late in life as an attempt to attract Session based players.

[Xyntech]

Awesome. Having TB covering PS2 so closely can only be a good thing for the game.

If the developers listen to bad ideas, it doesn't matter where they come from. I'm sure TB will have a few, I'm sure that PSU will offer a few, but none of it matters as long as the developers do a good job filtering out what works from what doesn't. Having TB as yet another way that the developers can stay in touch with the interest of the fans is going to be awesome, and the extended coverage that TB will give to the game will help ensure that it's as huge of a success as we all hope.

Loving the animations on the Galaxy. I like how articulated the models can get now. Can't wait to see more footage.

[starshine]

great news! looking forward to it. TB's association with this will only bring in more TR/NC to murder from my scythe.
case in point: i put up that video of him explaining PS2 on my wall and a lot of my friends were surprised at the existance of an mmofps. got a few to become fanbois too lol, he does a better job then if i blabbered on about planetside. and since we're all cheapskates there's no reason not to play a f2p game

This is good news for PS2 which means for us too.


The few negative comments are disappointing tho.

[Top Sgt]

it's good for more exposure.. but sorry their choice in who they partnered with is lacking.

he has his following yeah but many others do who aren't quite as much an "interesting character to get along with"

oh well atleast PS2 will be getting a livestream. People don't care who's hosting they just wanna see the game.

Like who? I'm not criticising, I'm all for subbing to someone better but so far I've found him to be the most honest and accurate of the bunch.

TB is one of the most popular YouTubers...they made the right choice in partnering with him. And TB is totally honest, so if something is shit, he'll tell it like it is.

frankie would have been a better choice Almost anyone.

had never even heard of biscuit until this ps2 video thing came along.

There's even a few guys on this forum who stream PS1 who would have been wise choices.. and seem to have much better attitudes.

Anyways enough about it.. i really don't care much either way.. Said my piece and let's just move on to enjoying the actual gameplay of PS2 from E3.

sorry but i don't find that to be true.. but mods already said no more discussion about the recent incident so let's let it go.

[duomaxwl]

All i know is, im never getting into a gal that TB is flying. partly because he's a bad pilot, and mainly because im NC and will be shooting his opressive TR ass :D.

Looking forward to what E3 will bring.

I'm NC and I'd get in a gal with him. I find the most fun I've had on Planetside is when everything is going wrong and we're all laughing about it. NCNoisy has a collection of screencaps of me crashing into trees..

What is it with drama on this site?

Anyway, this is good for the game, and TB is giving you all what you wanted. Loads of PS2 footage. Enjoy it, embrace it and lets take this game to the next level!

Planetside 2 at this rate will be big enough for all of us, and nothing makes me happier. We will see each other on the battle field, through streams and on the many websites that will appear on the intenrnets.

The past 4/5 months of me following this game daily have been wonderful and in the next few months all this is about to change. We will be getting the game we have waited so patiently for, and its getting the support it needs to make it what PS1 should of been.

I say enjoy it all, enjoy all the sites and help each other and support anything and I repeat anything! that makes this game better.

Good luck with this project and I hope it is as big of a success as the game needs.

And I for one will never forget where PS2 started for me. here at PSU.

Good luck to the devs at E3, good luck to Hamma at PSU and good luck to TB with his content.

I would also like to say good luck to the outfits, the real hero's of PS. They are the guys and girls that kept the servers going scraping together big battles when they could. Their dedication towards playing this game in the most fun and efficient way possible makes Planetside what it is.

Morto.

I wanna see him play with the Yogscast like they did with Trine.

Yeah. If SOE gets Yogscast in with the TB deal they'd be covering a ton of YouTube's audiences.

[maradine]

I didn't know of TB before the videos started going up on PSU. The footage is great and the commentary is entertaining. It's kept me engaged, coming back to PSU daily, and even got me to sign my ass up here.

Dunno what the drama is about, but it seems pretty irrelevant to the value proposition for Sony.

+1 for coverage is coverage.

Love him or hate him, TB is good at what he does. It doesn't matter if he's not good at a game, or if you agree with him personally, he's a great promoter.

I've been following TB for about 5 years now. I first started listening to his podcast show for WoW called "BluePlz!" where he'd give about 90 minutes of commentary on the state of the game, news, and blue posts, and where things were headed. I always found his commentary to be insightful and honest. When things were good, he applauded them, when they were not so good, he suggested how they could be better. He responded to listener emails, and he even produced skits and fake wow-themed commercials as entertainment. I also especially loved it when he'd break from his show for a few minutes with an interlude of heavy metal music.

When TB decided to stop covering WoW, he explained his reasons in a final youtube video on the subject. It was right around when The Firelands raid was coming out, and in his opinion, it was a step backwards for the game. Because the game was no longer personally interesting for him, he said he'd not be spending time on it anymore. I couldn't fault the guy.

Luckily, his WoW videos had gained him enough notoriety that he was able to branch out into other areas of internet famedom and has seemed to have earned himself a niche as a shoutcaster.

I appreciate what he does, and I'm genuinely stoked to hear that he's going to be so involved with PS2. I do not doubt for a minute that someday, he'll stop posting/tweeting/youtubing on it, but I also believe that it won't be for any sort of amoral reason. Promoting games is his job now- he's made a career of it, and as long as PS2 helps support that, he'll stick around, just like any of us would.

come on everybody "I love you, you love me, we're a happy family, With a great big hug and a kiss from me to you, wont you say you love me to! (except tr, they can go f*** themselves)''

I'm looking forward to an outfit called Cleggers United whose sole purpose is trolling on the PS2 battlefield
