This guy is awful. The episode last E3 where him and "E" as he likes to call himself basically ganged up on Jonathan Blow made me not like either of them. I know they have "job intrests" working/formerly working at Microsoft but man... they both came off as complete company shills and assholes.

Ganged up? Yeah maybe they ganged up on a few of the most retarded comments that have ever been made by a human being.

WHY WON'T YOU LET ME CIRCUMVENT POLICIES THAT YOU DON'T PERSONALLY CONTROL?!

WHY CAN'T I MAKE A GAME WITH NO WORDS ON XBLA?!

WHY DO I NEED EXACTLY 1000 ACHIEVEMENT POINTS IN A FULL RETAIL GAME?!

Is this the guy that Jonathan Blow told to 'sack up'?

Yes. The man is a hero. Blow needs to get off his high horse.

I really liked his discussion with Jonathan Blow on the E3 podcast and felt he defended MS policy very well against someone who obviously wanted far less restrictions.

I liked it too. Unfortunately that discussion left me with substantially less respect for Blow himself.

I thought Toulouse didn't defend MS policy very well at all, other than the standard "hey man, big corporations are incredibly resistant to policy change, and most XBLA games aren't imaginative enough that the policies are that big of a deal, so tough luck". I thought his response to Blow's criticism was terrible.

But I do also agree that it reflected sort of poorly on Blow, since he really kept pressing the issue to the point that things got pretty tense, on what was otherwise a pretty relaxed podcast. It didn't really seem like the right time or place, but I imagine it was Blow's only chance to personally confront someone at MS in a public forum, so he took advantage of it. Depending on your viewpoint, that may or may not be self-serving.

It is. Taking advantage is the very definition of self serving. Instead of discussing it like a normal human being he used the Bombcast and the relative safety of a public forum to bring out the knives on why XBLA policies personally pisses him off.

Blow could have easily made his own console, launched it, put as few restrictions on it as he wanted to and made his fucking game any which way he wanted, but he didn't. If Blow found it that hard or annoying to work with the policies of Xbox Live he should have simply shut the fuck up and published it on Steam where it would have been buried under the overbearing mass of "indie" games. Hey look I put a Warthog in 1-1 I made an indie game! Alternatively, hey look at my Half-Life/Source Engine mod it's an indie game!

Yeah, Blow's game wasn't fucking unique enough to warrant special treatment he should grow the fuck up.

Apple, Nintendo, and THQ just announced a partnership and new console it's called the

iWiiuDraw

BA DUM TISH! People deserve to be fired and lose their jobs for ever making the uDraw a reality.

Loves video games, hates porn. An odd combination....

You obviously didn't understand what was going on. He loves porn and he wants to stop the porn industry from using the government to sue people for copyright infringement.

You are and idiot and a complete moron.
