Seanbaby is...

He's alright. His type of comedy isn't exactly hard to come by on the internet. Make an observation , and follow it with something random, then losely relate them together. It's not unlike Family Guys jokes.
 
EGM pretty much sucks overall now. I used to find his column funny, but it's the same thing each month. ZD took Solid Sharkey's funny away also. :cry: Yea, I doubt any of you would know who he is, whatever.
 
I guess I'm supposed to (dramatic fanfare) RESPECT OPINIONS, but I get the distinct impression that it's a gaming community 'cred-builder' to bash EGM and that many a gamer holds eternal contempt towards the magazine for poor scores or perceived console biases that directly offend them. Of course, everyone too emotionally invested in gaming thinks that it's their console the magazine's 'got it in for'.

Or maybe it's the "Yankee effect", i.e., hating the guys on top. Or maybe people are pissed because 'better' gaming magazines like Next Generation folded long ago while a supposed piece of birdcage liner like EGM still exists. Maybe, just maybe, gamers just want the industry standard "7-9 scale", don't want negativity EVER, and prefer magazines that get 'exclusive' after 'exclusive' based on shady backroom dealings with publishers, as opposed to a stance that maintains some semblance of journalistic integrity and keeps the greasy PR types at least somewhat in check.

Yeah, go ahead and quote this and rip into me. Or better yet, don't, because if this post has got you that bent, then I inherently have no respect for you and can only preemptively recommend that you go fuck yourself.

P.S. And you won't bait me into a flame war. I refuse to respond to the emotionally-stunted or...per usual, those who relish the opportunity to call me an "insufferable prick/prat".

P.P.S. And for those with reasonable approaches who merely think that EGM has slipped in the last few years, well, I agree, but this post wasn't directed towards you anyway. Move along, move along.
 
[quote name='norkusa']His "Dear Nintendo, My Life Is A God Damn Mess" piece about Mark Discordia (the 32 year old man who wrote into NP in the 80's) is the funniest thing I've ever read in the history of the internet:

Yeah, Seanbaby fucking rocks.[/QUOTE]
I can't hate him because of this. Most of the time I find him annoying, but that NES shit is so money.
 
[quote name='GuilewasNK']I think his gimmick has run its course. Never liked him and never will.[/quote]

Agreed. In general, I think he tries too hard to be funny, but that doesn't mean he can't deliver a bit of comedy gold now and then...

Holy shit. Thats hillarious. :applause:
 
I find him to be pretty damn funny when he's not doing the usual GBA fodder in his column in EGM. He's has brought me to tears of laughter during Broken Pixels a few times.
