I remember him from his days writing for PlanetQuake. You could tell even then he was fenced in and trying to eat hay from the other side.
I never followed him to Something Awful, i grew up, i guess? But it irrevocably influenced the Internet as a whole.
Sucks that he turned out to be a shitbag
What does that mean, eat hay from the other side?
He was "penned in" on PQ and couldn't really let the creative juices flourish, but kept pushing the boundries regardless
Sorry this took so long to respond back!
He wanted to write about more than just one video game
