This is a bad video. Just bad. Honestly dude you wouldn't be where you are without AGG. Also EVERYONE WHO IS ON THAT PODCAST. I have never heard of your podcast till now and i hope that you stop podcasting and get out of the youtube gaming community. You are all rude basterd's.
Here is a link if you haven't heard it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8vjjZyccEo&feature=plcp

also gamechasers/AGG/Retrohunters,Pat the NES punk, HVGN etc.. I love your shit and you kick ass!

Say what you want to say but I am done with this and i hope we don't see a huge backlash and this is the end of the community.
Lets all just hold hands and listen to the Rad Rascels.

thanks

So I listened to the full thing.

It's a shame that the dude felt the need to talk shit so strongly behind peoples backs, but it is, what it is. I think jealousy has a big part to play in some of their comments, and it sucks for them that their private conversation found its way onto the interwebs.

But, that said. I've talked a fair amount of shit about people before, so.. I'm not really one too judge (too much)
We all have! Nobody's perfect! Everyone has their own opinion but I just don't like the fact with if what he said was true on AGG, why be on it then? That'll be me saying I really enjoyed my time doing the Power On Podcast when in all honesty, I couldn't wait to get out of there since I hate it, which couldn't be further away from the truth!
so this justifies him insulting people by judging people on there apperences and how they act in there videos
No it doesn't! You might not like someone now (and believe me, there's a few people on YT I am not fond of) and I can understand that but to insult someone like one of the other guys did with HVGN is just sad!

Here is what I have to say...people just talking about this crap "OMFG GAMEZOFWAR WTF?" its the internet people...Shit like this happens all the time. I am not on anybody's side so if he was or wasn't talking shit...who really gives a shit? Like I said it is the internet. Tomorrow people probably won't even be talking about this.
I think the problem is this relatively small community has come to know and respected one another. Some of us aren't necessarily just internet acquaintances, but rather consider each other friends. I mean, this isn't some anonymous image board, neither is it a place where people hide under their alias name. People have shown their face on camera, befriended each other on Facebook, started podcasts togethor, etc. When someone like GamezofWars or xcornmuffinx, people who are respected and befriended on this community, insult other people through a private skype call and get blackmailed. Really, it sends the community in shock.

I think what is important to remember here is that It sounds like Gamez of War was having a private conversation.

I don't think Josh has ever made a public video trolling any of the people he mentioned his this conversation, and it sounds like he was always polite and respectful to them when he met them in person.....and that's exactly how it should be.

Although what was said was probably hurtful to some, the harsh words were strictly about youtube content....not about the character, morals, livelihoods, etc...of the people mentioned.

You can dislike someone's content without simultaneously hating the person that they are......and I think that's what people can't seem to separate here.

I really do feel bad for Josh. Think of all of the things you guys have probably said to your friends privately that would mortify you if it were made public.

I know some people were probably hurt by the words that they heard, but they were never meant to be hurtful....because it sounds like they were never meant to be public.

One of the most beautiful things you can do in life is forgive someone. I think everyone should give this dude a break.

If you ask me, this thread has been perfectly tame and mature. Everyone here has been pretty articulate with their response, rather than dropping F-bombs in between every other word.

I was initally of the mind to remove posts on this topic and warn the poster, but that was due to the flood of nasty, hateful and threatening comments I saw on Youtube and Facebook. I didn't want to see that spilling over into the forum.

However, it's a big topic and people want to discuss it, so it's fine to stay up as long as people continue to be respectful and constructive in their posting. If the conversation starts going south, then this thread will be locked.

Sure the conversation was private and we've all talked shit at some point in our lives, but he lied about it in his response video then deleted his channel. I would have rather gotten an apology or see him embrace this heel turn instead of just bailing.

Mogie, I disagree. A majority of those comments weren't aimed at the targets YouTube content but rather the person themselves. I agree with Midi and expected more from this community, but at the end of the day this is still the Internet. It just pisses me off to see this two-faced behavior coming from someone who was, for the most part, respected within the community and went out of their way to end each video by saying 'GamezofWar is nothing without you.'

Edit: Shinobi and Cornmuffin are just as guilty. In fact one of them is probably this Regal character. I guess GoW must have done something bad to piss them off. There is no honor among thieves.

Observe how the chaotic neutral (Andsy) and neutral good (Browland)'s response complement each other.

Eventually, either of them have to stand up and discuss this, apologize, explain themselves, etc. In the end, all three of them are guilty, however Gamez just happens to be more recognizable due to his guest appearances on AGG, among other things.

I think my main issue with this is that GamezOfWar uploaded a video stating he was doing a spoof video. This was pure bs of course.

If he just flat-out said, yes I said those things and it was meant for private conversation, I would have respected the guy. But trying to come up with some lame excuse is my preferred method.

In any case, channels have been closed, people are in chill mode again, how about something positive again? :)

Gotta be careful what you say when online sometimes especially when being recorded!

This really is blown out of proportion. The same way tabloids over-react to celebrity gossip.

I really don't respect how they use the words "retarded" about. If its used in a playful way that obviously a joke I'm not offended but saying somebody looks retard. That isn't right.

Well, I was considering giving him the benefit of the doubt, but him deleting his youtube (both personal and podcast) makes me think otherwise.

My opinion on this matter is probably not going to be a popular one.

I think this has all been blown out proportion. Running with the assumption that Gamezofwar said everything his is accused of, in the context that people are taking it, this was a private Skype conversation that was between those present. I've been in conversations with several youtubers who shared some less-than-favorable opinions about others, and that was said in confidence. Everyone has an opinion and nobody is required to be a fan of anyone else. The fact that someone anonymously leaked this conversation, rather than confront Gamezofwar and challenge his views directly, is both cowardly and dickish.

Furthermore, I have seen the comments in the video and in the various Facebook posts. There is a lynch mob mentality arising here, which I also don't agree with. Also, the person posting the videos ("Joseph Regal") is hardly a white knight, considering his juvenile and hate-filled comments on Youtube. This is ultimately a matter between Gamezofwar and the people he allegedly talked bad about. If the AGG crew and anyone else directly mentioned are offended by it, they should talk to him directly and clear the air. I understand the mentality if rallying around your favourite Youtubers and defending them, but the person who contributes to he e-drama is just as guilty as the person who starts it.

That's my $0.02, anyway. I am not putting down anyone or negating their opinion, just expressing my own.
I agree. I dont think he should have taken down his channel ether. I think he should have just chose to keep his head low for a while and wait for this thing to pass. I garuntee that in 2-3 months no one will remmber this and we will all just be cuddling togeter watching the happy console gamer movie ;) .

In all seriousness though if i was getting hate for what i said in one of my videos i would do exactly what he did and just stick by my guns and by the end have a knowledge of who my true fans are. (I would never say "FUCK AGG" or anything like that)

thanks
