Stick it to the company:
Great thread about a customer duking it out with a video game peripheral company, worth the read:
online fight
I don't care how much I like a product, I will always avoid a bad company.

LOL, that guy screams "arse flushing".
Funny vid inspired by the e-mails. NSFW due to language.

I usually don't like knowing someone got fired, but that guy was brutal. If that is what he did in the 'public's eye', who knows what else he was up to.

Yeah it was fun to watch it all unfold (via Wil Wheaton). And just to point out, it was Ocean Marketing, not the makers of the accessory. They were stupid to hire him, but I wouldn't drag them down with him. If what he says about his wife and child are true, some people have gone too far. But otherwise I don't feel bad for him.

Is this real? It just doesn't seem plausible.

LOL - stupid to mess with Penny Arcade.
EDIT: Though I guess his rage could be traced to his 'roid habit and . . . love of tropical fish?

Yeah, I was reading this last week.
I have no idea how anyone could consider themselves a gamer and not have an idea of the power of Penny Arcade. He may not have recognized the Mike Krahulik name but to say that he knew about PA but not how much power it had really makes him look bad.

He doesn't care how much power PA has, he knows the mayor of Boston!

Reading that interview, I still don't think he gets it. He is playing the "Woe is me, everyone is picking on me" card yet the email thread shows he was belligerent from early on.
I agree that he isn't sorry for what he did, he is sorry that he got taken to task for his actions.

^That's a new development? Wow. This guy should really consider a career (and name) change.
While I don't think too much of the customer that initiated the whole thing, this Paul guy is a real tool. Like bobblehead said, he just doesn't get it.

There were some fake twitter accounts flying around too, which were very funny.

Anyone else wondering if Christoforo is somehow related to Eklund?
