The Verge on VUZU

I don't like him either. The guy is such a loser. He insulted Skyrim as he claims that those games are "boring". He just insulted many RPG fans out there with that statement. I swear that all he plays is FPS and Soccer games. Pips said she would be back soon last time we spoke though. Let's hope that's sooner rather than later.

And he likes The Sims 3...
 
That time the Skyrim trailer was on, I was hoping to hear more info about the game not some insult. He constantly says games like Witcher 2, Skyrim, Dragon Age 2 etc are boring. And he cant enjoy a lego or indie game for what it is. He does not have a passion for gaming, I will use a frowned upon term to describe him.... He's a casual gamer. There now Im done, this guy isnt worth another post.
 
The Verge...

A sad excuse for a gaming program...

And no one may insult Skyrim -.- say what you will, whether you liked Oblivion or hated it, it was an awesome game for me and I lost 2.5 weeks of my life playing that game without putting it down.

I plan at least the same amount of time for Skyrim.
 
Yeah the standard of the show has dropped i mean this guy stands there with his Ama Kip Kip shirt insulting people who play Elder Scrolls, all RPG games and the sims so im very disappointed that they had to get this guy and all because of the colour of his skin its a sad world

Yeah, i mean wtf, its a computer game show, why insult a product most the people who are watching enjoy. It boggles my mind. They hired a guy, who doesn't really like games to host a show about games? Bet you he plays farmville.
 
I haven't watched Verge since Pippa left, but I'm sincerely hoping the new presenter isn't the same douce who ripped off Pong saying he's glad games don't look like that anymore.

If he even had the SLIGHTEST idea of how ahead of its time Pong was and the difficulty involved in programming it onto a micro-controller he'd shut his uneducated pie hole.

I'm very sad to hear they're still doing that scrolling text message thing. It looks like something that belongs on Big Brother or late night E-TV game shows.

It's quite a fail from their side not to involve MyGaming/LazyGamer etc. more to get local interviews etc. instead of just showing bad quality clips with commentary that is of zero value to those actually interested in the games.
 
Haha wow I was about to get involved in this conversation... But I went to school with "this new host" you guys are talking about...

*slowly heads towards the exit*

So if it wasn't his knowledge of gaming that got him the job what did get him the job?

HAHA, hate to inform you, but you did just join this conversation, what was he like in school?
 
I didn't even know that Pippa isn't with the show anymore. I know that she writes a column for NAG for about two months now though. So what else is she doing now?

Have no idea, apparently he's is a stand-up comedian and he also won an award for acting. But your question is exactly what i'm wondering, surely you should hire someone who loves all things gaming to be the host of a show about games?
 
Well I just launched an verbal tirade against RPGs here and all I got was an immediate thread closure. Here I thought I was on the way to becoming a mod

Look he actually is a really decent guy. Just because he formed an opinion about a gametype you guys love doesnt mean he doesnt know anything about games.

I understand your guys frustrations with him, but at the same time everything he does and says has to be moderated by the producers of the show, it is not as if it is his own studio and he is running it.

Instead of all this negativity, why does someone in fact rather give him a shout on his twitter with some constructive criticism. It cant make things any worse can it :)?
