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

Usually it might be considered a crime, however this was recorded moments before they recorded their podcast, of which GoW would know was being recorded.

Incredibly douchy move, but youd be hard pressed to argue any legal wrongdoing

Here is my advice to people

Check out both sides of the story and make your own opinion. Don't just hop on the bandwaggon and act so cool cause I am pretty sure a lot of you who haven't looked more into the situation might change your minds. [sonicwaiting]

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.
Firstly, what a thread. Second of all, Mr. Rowland summed up my thoughts completely. I think everyone is entitled to their thoughts, though the method of how they express them may cause them more harm than good. Owning up to the situation would have been the best thing to have done, and the weak excuse he gave as a "parody" video should not have happened. However, when under this kind of stress it's hard to evaluate your options, and I think he was trying to cope the best way he knew how. I also feel that the closing of his account is not a bad move. Some people may see it as cowardly, but the hateful comments of the bandwagon/hive mind are going to sit there, reminding everyone of the situation at hand. This is going to allow everyone to cool down and let the situation settle out. If he decides to rejoin the community down the line, that's on him, and this will give him the option of a relatively clean slate.

That's not to say that he shouldn't answer for his actions, private or not. An apology and discussion with the people mentioned is really all that should take place. This is not a situation between GoW and the community. It's a situation between GoW and the people he mentioned, as well as the people/person that leaked said file. If the community doesn't want to forgive him, they don't have to, but they don't need to add fuel t the fire. I truly believe he is sorry for what he did, and not just that he got caught. I say that because a person who is sorry they got caught wouldn't just drop off the face of the internet. A person who is sorry they got caught would have continued to push a BS reason (such as the "parody" excuse) far beyond its original intent to save face. He could apologize all he wanted, but the people who need to forgive him haven't even had a chance to talk with him (if they even want to), and the people who are not involved but mad don't need to further involve themselves in the matter. Trying to take care of the situation at the height of the drama will not solve anything. His current choice is the most pragmatic.

Whether you support him, or whether you hate what he's done, now is not the time to fix the situation.

I don't care what gamezofwar thinks, thats his own opinion, and for such an opinion based forum, I don't see why anyone should be so offended by the thought of him not liking people on the internet. Sure he used some rude words, but I'm sure everyone here cusses every once in a while. I think everyone overreacted.

I don't like how he handled the situation when this got exposed. a parody of AlphaOmegaSin? don't make me laugh. That wasn't even close. Then he shut his youtube down.

If I were in his shoes I'd say, "Yeah, thats my opinion, so what about it?", not ragequit the internet like he did. That just leaves a sour taste.

BTW, don't start a war, he's fucking gamezofwar... (this is the most stupidly hilarious thing I've ever heard someone say)

Just recently I made one of the biggest mistakes of my life. I was so scared and couldn't think straight that I made the worst decision possible and ran away from the problem. Just this week I manned up and fixed everything by owning up to my mistakes.

I feel like I can very much relate to Josh in this situation, he made a mistake (like myself) and handled it completely wrong (like myself). The point is - just because someone does something wrong, doesn't mean they should be (within reason, but to what extent, I don't know) villainized for it. If I saw someone make the same mistake that I did, I'd think they were an idiot and should have harsh penalties. But when I was actually in the situation myself I had the highest regrets and even felt suicidal.

My last words of advice would be to let it go. He's a human being, and doesn't deserve this mental torment that I think is comparable to hell.

Just a fellow Gamer
You know I know a lot of people are upset, but you know instead of spreading hate let's all make one thing clear. This is a prime example that when your in the Media of any kind (may it be youtube or even selling used socks) you are looked at in a different manner then the norm. I play in a band and the Community is very much the same as the gaming in some ways. You have to be careful on what you say and try to be respectful about it. I don't blame him for taking his channel down, it would have been better to say "I'm sorry" But clearly that wouldn't be enough for some. So for now this was his best way it's really sad. Look at the Beatles, once John Lennon said they were bigger than Jesus that was a big blow for them. So all in all let's learn from this...

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.


^o) That's funny. I seem to remember them calling fellow YouTubers poor, stupid, pathetic... need I continue?

I don't come to the forums often (3 posts in over a year? Crap.) but I watch a fair few videos and listen to many a podcast. A certain level of friendship and trust comes into play when you participate in the community. There is no way what was said could have been taken out of context. Josh is a scumbag, two faced loser who will not be missed. And as long as we're being honest, his content blew.

I took my rant off. I got my message across to the people I wanted to and will remain a viewer again and not get involved in this. I am going to reitterate this, once and for all, I knew making that video was adding to the drama even if it had good intentions, BUT I honestly felt I had to do it to scare off a few two-faced liars that were acting like they were shocked, when they weren't just to have their comment there and know they do the exact same things all the time. Those people are the scum of the earth.

Exaggerated example, but reminds me of the politicians that act like they are super against Homosexuality/Gay Marriage and are found later giving a BJ in a bathroom or someplace. I couldn't just stand around and let people act like this. Whether you agree with me or not, I hope you understand why I did it. It is one thing to lie behind people's backs and pretend to be something your not, but when you harass someone for doing the same things you do everyday and try to get away with that...well lets just say I am a guy who will not let you get away with that.

The people who I am referring to know who they are.

That is all I have to say. Big big shame the things some people try to get away with.

I don't think you know who they are and i don't think anyone else is like that. I just think that you're trying to stir up more drama.

Really Richard? This is the third time youve made this threat, when there really is no need. People are often two faced, i've talked shit when I shouldnt have, and I'm sure alot of people here have too. Lets just leave it at that, yes?

Ok, sorry I derailed this thread, I already said I am done. If someone wants to specifically comment about what I have said send me a pm or make another thread to bash me idc, but not in this thread anymore. Thread isn't about me.

Again, you guys don't know what was said so don't even go there and don't judge me as a person when you don't even know me. I don't appreciate it. My comments weren't targeted towards anyone on this thread so don't make a big deal out of it.

I didn't say anything wrong. If you knew what I know and this happened, I assure you if you had any sense of justice, morality, and sense of right or wrong you would have reacted the same way I did.

Again, I repeat for the last time my 2cents on this topic is done. Do not quote anything I have said on this thread it isn't about me. Wouldn't have even made this last reply, but it would be nonsensical to pm everyone to stop doing it.

Oops...

really though, I've read the whole thing, and I think Richard here is stirring the pot of shit.

He just comes up in the thread teasing that he knows more information and just goes on about it.

and you sir got quoted :)
