Of all the peeps w ho died this week this was the one I cared about. I have macro keys in Metal Gear Online so when I hit F1-F12 it does Bill Mays commercial tag lines and things he says.

I will forever love that mans amazing beard! He makes Zeus look like a prepubecant girl with his face locks of doom!

I agree, I will miss Billy Mays the most. Something about his character (quite possibly the beard) made him stand out and very memorable.

RIP Billy Mays man. his ads made me buy a lot of stuff like Oxy-Clean and this KABOOM!

You can mighty putty a god damn horse to a fence.

hatchimatchi5432d ago

yea it's bad that he passed, really entertaining guy and you could tell he really enjoyed his job.

From what i read online, it said he was on a flight, landing in tampa i think, and the landing gear malfunctioned or the tire blew, but it caused to plane to jerk suddenly and some overhead luggage came out and he was hit in the head, in an interview he said he was alright, but then he dies in his sleep like a day later. If his autopsy shows some injury to his head/spine the airline is gonna get slapped with a massive lawsuit from his wife probably.

people have been dying like crazy this past week.

A Matter Of Trust: What The Game Industry Should Do To Win Gamers Back

Skewed and Reviewed have written an Opinion Piece covering issues in the gaming industry, how current issues were issues years ago, and what can be done to help restore consumer trust.

Nothing. It's up to the gamers to stop consuming content from companies that they don't agree with.

Garethvk2d ago

How do you know if you agree with it or not unless you play it? Which without conventions forces gamers to rely on trailers. Perhaps Demos should be made more frequently. But companies need to do better as well.

anast2d ago

Wait until release. Watch Gameplay. Exercise patience.

Garethvk2d ago

But is that not what they have now? Tons of gameplay or are you talking about watching actual gamers play it versus the trailers and streams? The big issue is that some companies pay streamers and influencers and they create content but for me; that is hardly a fair, unbiased, and factual look at a game.

Get rid of the suits in the industry and job done!!

Garethvk2d ago

They usually are attached to the money sadly. It would be nice to have gamers in charge but you have so much money invested that business people are needed. Hence the issue; you need people who know business but are also gamers who know have an eye to the community. It sounds simple in theory that if you give gamers quality games that they want to play; money will be made. But that is not always so.
