No, that was the subway sarin gas attack by Aum Shinrikyo.
I had only just missed it!

Itoi
Oh, that was the day?!

Marcus
Yes, I was heading to APE for the first time that day,
and couldn’t use the subway.

Itoi
I was out fishing on Lake Biwa that day. (Laughs)

The Xbox 360 Bad Update programmer says there will never be a consistent softmod solution for 360 so that dream is dead.

From the article:

The judge referred to an interview by Jobst in which he said “Billy Mitchell needs to be destroyed in court … I am the last chance for the public to punish Billy”.

“Clearly wanted to be the knight who slayed the Mitchell dragon. His lance was not as strong as he thought it to be,” Barlow said.

Kind of an silly statement for a judge to hand down while heavily penalizing a speedrunning youtuber. “His menuing was suboptimal,” would have clanged less.

Sucks that Mitchell wins

is there a single judge alive who didn’t become a judge just to say smarmy shit in their judgments

Jobst losing this one is for the best. The damages are entirely from repeatedly claiming that Mitchell drove another Youtuber to commit suicide, which is not something you should be able to do and collect youtube ad money from. The damages related to Mitchell cheating were thrown out because the judge ruled that everyone already thinks Mitchell is a cheater, so you can’t defame him by saying that.

Jobst is a nazi, isn’t he?

This is a case where both sides suck and should never be heard from again

Latley I’ve been teaching every time one of these events happens. Not sure what they could show to get me excited. I feel like I’ve been drifting from Nintendo and the trend seems irreversable.

Edit: this actually happens during my lunch break. Guess I’ll scarf down something while I wait to see if Nintendo have found out what accessibility is yet.

I personally know at least three people who have played Goldeneye who didn’t go on to write this in later life.
