No harm to MJ but he's the easiest dev to troll, like ever. Even Blizzard devs like to troll him, for someone so experienced it's like he's new to the internet. Plus, he'll likely be back here if Mythic manage to survive long enough to get a paid WAR expansion into the pre release hype stage.

He doesn't get it from the perspective of the CEO of a multimillion dollar company. As a forum warrior, he gets it just fine.

He's not a forum warrior. He uses forums as a marketing outlet.

He doesn't even do that real well. |

But his whole pick which arguments to reply to, say he's got secret information that would cast a whole new light on the scene and ability to pick his ball up and go home are very well developed. |

Just a comment that means nothing.
WAR had a big booth at NYC Comic Con. There were a lot of people around it. I chuckled as I walked passed it to go play Dragon Age.

You should have shit in a WAR box, given it back to them and then ask for your money back.

I chuckled as I walked passed it to go play Dragon Age. Well? WELL? Dragon's Age is basically MMORPGish in UI/controls. WASD and numbers to use abilities. Pause for party control. Didn't get to try it much as there were crowds and too many kids due to it being right next to WAR handing out shitty posters in stupid boxes with arm straps. But it looks and feels like pure win. Think Baldur's Gate meets WOW with a little Mass Effect mixed in. |

He still lets himself get trolled by HRose. |

I still think Dragon Age is the worst, most horribly generic title for an RPG I've heard in years.

late to the show, pages late and all. Pretty fucking speechless... unprofessional doesn't even begin to touch on the mounds of douche baggery that guy is. |

You know, just from his early youtube things, I used to think the guy was pretty cool - he was entertaining enough and since half his job was hyping the game, I thought it was a cool way of doing it. I didn't believe a word coming out of his mouth would actually make it to the final product, but that was pretty irrelevant back when all they had was concept art and cool ideas.
Then he started getting nasty, starting with the developer callout, and now it's clear the way he deals with pressure and failure is to take it out on others. Which is a shame.

Wasn't there already a cancelled MMO named Dragon Age? Dragon something... Big budget. Canned after a few years of hype. I admit I know nothing about any new game actually called Dragon Age. |

We fired people, lolz I am drunk off my ass Woooh... people are going to a Con. I just,... I am simply unable to come to terms with the idea that that shit is allowed. Any company/agency I have ever worked for would have fired the guy on the spot as soon as that video surfaced. I am simply floored that nobody at Mythic hasn't keelhauled him for this type of stuff. If this shit flies at Mythic, it is no wonder that the "The god damn plane has crashed into the mountain!" |

I thought I read somewhere that ole PB got sanctioned after that infamous Gamasutra article (below). May be I just imagined it, but pretty sure he or MJ made a "clarification" or some spin. Yeah, immature, unprofessional, low-skilled -- just a bully who claims to have played a lot of games. Wonder if he would get a job today with that CV if he had to start over. Lesson 11: There Are Believers And There Are Heretics
"When making games, they cost billions, take years, and use hundreds of people," Barnett observed. "[We] haven’t got time for people who have no morale or don’t think we’re going to succeed, and mess around in palace intrigue. Heretics must be burned publicly. It doesn’t matter how talented they are. If they’re a heretic, they go, because cancer spreads."
On the other hand, concluded Barnett at the end of an entertaining talk, "believers are wonderful people. I hire less talented believers over talented heretics every time. Three-star ability with five-star drive is how you want it. The other way around leads you to hell." |
