Congratulations on Virgil Hilts successfully making the thread about him. As someone that used to love doing that, I give him 9/10. It was gonna be about a 7/10 but that part where he accused a non-Caucasian poster of white guilt is worth at least 2 points.

1882

Oh, shit! Virgil figured out that we’re all different people that have different arguments! We’re busted!

1883

I can confirm that “Meedly-meedly-meedly-mowwww” is harder to pronounce than I first thought.

1884

As much as I thought the entire issue was ridiculous, I’m with you on this one. Getting the guy fired is just… nuts. Hopefully he lands on his feet.

1885

He wasn’t fired. He quit when Cryptozoic asked him to stop banging on his Twitter drum with their company name in his linecard.

Edit: Oh shit! 15k!

1886

Sorry – I should have said “trying to get the guy fired.” Good catch on my lazy writing!

1887

I just want to chime in to say I think there are a lot of us (probably the majority) following this and groaning along with you all while waiting for the thread to actually be about BL2 again, instead of what racism is. We’re with you. Just, please, for all of us, stop feeding the troll?

1888

^^^^^

1889

What, are you racist against trolls now?

runs

1890

Oddly enough nobody was getting upset about this thread being about “what racism is” when Team Socially Awkward Dudes got busy congratulating each other for (bravely! so bravely!) thinking TT wasn’t racist, and also that people who thought that she was racist were bad/stupid/“PC”/etc.

But as soon as a grownup happens by and dares to gently remind you guys that yeah, TT got kinda racist there, and also that it’s kind of bizarre to be proud of being oblivious(Telefrog, for example, apparently decided that Tiny Tina wasn’t racist without ever listening to the dialogue identified as being offensive!)… I’m trolling?

No, I’m educating.

1891

Derek Smart, is that you?

1892

Oi, gevalt.

1893

Yeah everyone totally got schooled.

1894

is this an old monty python sketch?

1895

So has anyone actually gotten stuff that is remarkable from keys? I never actually felt anything I found was too under powered, or was too weak for too long. There were a few times though were I used a gun for more then a few levels. I’ve never actually used a Key or bothered with redeeming shift codes.

1896

Sure. I tend to use them more in TVHM than on normal, but generally speaking, if you find yourself at a point where several weapons are getting out of date, that’s a good time to try it. You have a better chance of getting something useful. You will always get purples. Many/most will be junk; occasionally, you might get something really spiffy.

1897

Right, he wasn’t fired, but the Internet Posse tried to get him fired before he quit.

1898

2/3 of the sutff I got from keys were markedly better than the normal stuff I found on chests.

1899

No, just no. He never even said that. He said he wouldn’t doubt if they tried it, which is completely different from knowing they tried it. The whole internet posse trying to get him fired bit has been perpetuated by people who read his tweet saying as much and running with it.

The guy messed up, his bosses weren’t excited to get negative press about it and they asked him to STFU up. He decided to quit instead, because whining about Tiny Tina and playing the martyr is more important than having a job, apparently.

I’ve only used 4 keys so far and they’ve been mostly useful.
