i have never liked the verge, based purely on their half-baked reviews and shockingly inept attempts to game during the show, where they reveal there gross idiocy
I bet you they had the whole conversation and 8 hours of footage and that was all they could make out of it...
I would really rather have had Papa or Maplassie running around with a mic. :D
Now that would have been INSANE!!! :P
We would have been at the Kaspersky area enterviewing Lara Croft.... sorry mean interviewing!Quote:

People are having a real go at them on their FB page. All they've been doing is deleting posts and kicking people off the page. PR like a baws!
http://www.facebook.com/TheVergeNews
Indeed. They can't keep up with deleting all the comments. :P
Have any of you actually watch The Verge? I caught an episode or two and I have no clue who it's aimed at. It sure as hell isn't aimed at gamers. I'm 37, married and have two beautiful kids. I also have a decent job and not to sound snobbish but probably make a whole lot more cash than she does. Most or my gaming buddies are in similar situations. I find it to be a joke.
She should really stick to something that she has a clue about... wait... I don't think it would be polite for me to post her talents on here.
I shrugged.
Nothing to see here, really.
So the cow insulted gamers. Big deal. Yesterday alone I probably insulted at least 3 execs in a company by bursting out laughing at one of their "suggestions".
(btw, when I say "burst out laughing", I should probably preface it with "was busy sipping some coffee" and append with "sent coffee spurting from nasal orifices all over the table")
But yeah, it makes very little sense to insult the exact audience you're trying to attract...
I would watch that!Quote:

I cried a little.
Thats the most retarded thing I have ever hear. :(
How cool would it have been if she ran into Thad Castle from Blue Mountain State at the LAN. Im pretty sure that would have been a lot funnier than her attempt at being a reporter or whatever her attempt is definded as.
I think that was the point :)
I vote for thad for the new face of Verge

Dear Verge
Please see above youtube video when attempting humor.

Their apology. :/

The Verge is sorry to read that some viewers were upset by the light-hearted nature of one of our thirteen reports from rAge 2011. As an official media partner of of the expo, we covered every single angle of the event, including running a joint stand with the organisers, NAG. The detailed nature of our reports and strong all-round presence should indicate a healthy respect for gaming culture and the people who participate in it. Vuzu is an entertainment channel and we think humour is an important aspect of that, so hopefully the small number of viewers unhappy with the LAN report will see the lighter side of things.
ITS JUST A JOKE GUYS!
Next time you tune someone shit just call it light-hearted humour!

Uhm i havent seen a single person having something good to say about this.
So i proceded to partake in a test in the office. We have 2 gamers in our office out of 40 people working there and not a single person who viewed this video saw the "lighter" side.
So to recap, they called everyone kids, they portrayed gamers as basement dwelling goblins (yes they used the word goblins), perpetuated the stereotype that gamers are socially inadequate and thus never have girlfriends/boyfriends/wives/husbands, that gaming is something that needs be tolerated and socially unacceptable, and to top it all off by more or less calling gamers gay.
If that was a forum post it would have a huge troll badge stuck right onto it but HEY GUYS, we're sorry it's just light hearted humour.
I see theverge is the newest forum member. :p
You're an idiot, and your family is idiots and I want to cut you out of the genepool because you're so stupid.Quote:

Yup, there's just not enough time to think about such a weak show anyway.Quote:

So in the words of Russel Peters "Be a man" and apologise properly for this. Verge must remember if you piss off gamers they have a unique way of showing how they feel about it. So dont be suprised if verge's name is dragged through the mud even more now after this "apology".
Oh and Verge/Dstv...Deleting peoples comments just makes them more angry.
