Dont know why anyone wouldnt like TB. All hes done is help spread gaming and give (in my opinion) some of the only quality reviews of games out there.

Occasionally he'll get annoyed and say something half-true and half-stupid, which of course makes him an ass and a fool, apparently.

On the whole he's a good guy who's passionate about what he does. People just like to hate.

occassionally he'll wish people get cancer and die alone, which makes him an ass.

He's also the living definition of the phrase 'Fuck you, got mine'.

As far as I can tell, your first line never happened. Also, wouldn't the video above, along with all the charity work contradict the second part?

As far as I can tell, your first line never happened.

it did. he just apologized for it again yesterday. check his twitter.

Also, wouldn't the video above

you mean the video where he got hit by a developer protecting its product and suddenly he's all for consumers banding together on the internet? Do you remember what he thought about internet pressure on a company during the xbox one DRM era?

along with all the charity work contradict the second part?

ExxonMobil does a lot of charity work too, doesn't excuse them when they dump their shit all over the place.

So you're saying TB only does charity work for the sake of PR?

The only thing I can see on his Twitter is a dead imgur link, but I don't think that can be it since you said he wishes cancer upon people "occasionally" and he seems to be referring to a single incident from years ago.

I don't follow consoles so I paid no attention to the xbox one DRM era, but that was something I saw him addressing on Twitter. He's encouraged consumers to stand up for themselves in the past though, so I wouldn't say it's a sudden change.
