I like Maddox, some what. But I love how he doesn't have any banners from business. He's contradicted himself many times. But who cares, I think He's awesome sauce.

You aren't supposed to take him seriously, nor should you expect him to be politically correct. Satirical sites dont' do those.

Great stuff. I recommend 'X-treme marketing' and 'Bush vs. a Box of Tic-Tacs.'

I normally like his stuff, but I do find it amusing how he mentions that the X-box would never get old-school titles like Metal Slug. Heh.

He's an egotistical fuck, but aside from that, I like his use of sarcasm.

Heh, he has a nice article that praises Ikaruga as well. Oh, I also recommend the Xtreme marketing article, it's one of the best. My other favorites:

Every once in awhile I'll chuckle at one of his things ("Damn you Neptune!"), but a lot of his stuff just doesn't appeal to my sense of humor at all...I've never been one for pure loudness.

And it takes skills to pull it off, too.

Which is why people like Toobis would always get ignored.

I've been reading his stuff since someone from the forum mentioned his Ikaruga article a long time ago.

Funny stuff.

Maddox is great. The world really ought to read his article on "blogs" and their associated nonsense.

There is a special layer in hell for people who use podcast to describe any compressed stream of audio. I liked how a few weeks ago there was a "podcast" from the shuttle. Which in reality translated to someone encoding a transmission in mp3 format and putting it online. I hate people.

Maddox... Used to like him back when he was still "fresh", but now... he's just someone who reeks of "try hard" to me.

Edit: From time to time, he'll post something that I'll occasionally glance at and agree with him or chuckle about it.

Maddox's site is hilarious. He's a genius too.

Little-known fact to those who don't use Wikipedia: His name is George Ouzounian, of Armenian descent. He speaks Armenian and English fluently, and is hoping to learn Mandarin Chinese.

Oh yeah, he's recognized in public all the time. Hope you live in Salt Lake City :P

And a note to those who think Maddox's new articles suck: They're not as good as the old ones, but they're still way better than most of the crap on the internets these days.

Yeah, some of this new stuff is boring.


His comic on that Shyamalan movie (Rings?) is still awesome.

I like Maddox, but not as much as I like Seanbaby. I love Seanbaby's imagery.

He seems somehow less bitter, too... but this might be easier to do when you only write an article every other year.

Seanbaby's best is way better than Maddox's best, although Seanbaby has definitely written his fair share of mediocre articles.

Seanbaby also comes up with more memorable quotes. Maddox's stuff is funny as I'm reading it, but no specific jokes usually stand out in my mind after I've read the article. Then again, that's really not what he's going for anyway.

Is Seanbaby still writing anything? It doesn't look like he's doing any Wave articles nowadays, and I don't read EGM, so I don't know if he still writes for them anymore.

I read a Seanbaby article in the EGM showcasing Perfect Dark Zero. Something about bad games based on TV shows. It was pretty awesome.

I wish Seanbaby would update his site again, but as fate would have it, he writes for EGM instead. Poop. I prefer his website over the EGM articles, because they're not censored and more colorful for my liking.

Oh, and not diluted with advertisements unlike magazines. ;)

Hadn't heard of Seanbaby before so I checked his site. Think I like him more than Maddox. If only for displaying the following image proudly:
