Chris Priestly to leave Bioware at the end of the month

[Tommy Wiseau]

So when you say he's leaving, you're saying they were able to finally afford a crane that can move him out of the building?

That was myyyyyyyyyyyyyy joke!

 

[Data4]

Anyone know if this had something to do with that tweet?

Do go on.

Spoiler

Yeah, it would be very poetic if it was a self termination via piehole for that tub of shit.

 

[warpig]

That tweet was very mild, I doubt Biowaru would sack his fat ass for that. And didn't he apologize?

 

[Average Manatee]

Guys, this isn't really the time to make light of someone's career. I'm sure Mr. Priestly has a lot of heavy thoughts right now and is feeling quite unbalanced at the moment. It could be downright dangerous not to support him in these rocky times.

 

[G.O.D]

Bethesda cannot into ladders. BioEvilChris cannot into stairs by the looks of it.

I think it's rather more dangerous trying to support a poorly balanced object of such great mass. You might end up pancaked.

 

[DalekFlay]

Not to defend morbidly obese idiots, but if he got fired for that tweet it's another example of SocialJusticeWare.

 

[circ]

That's a retarded and tasteless tweet. And if he really got canned for it, I'm not crying.

 

[Andyman Messiah]

Tasteless, no. Retarded, yes. You can't go "HURR DURR SEX JOKE" on women who you have no relation to whatsoever. Your girlfriend, your wife, yes. Some girl you barely know? Fuck no, reel it in, asshole.

 

[DalekFlay]

It's an asshole tweet for sure, but worth firing him over by itself? I doubt it.

 

[shihonage]

He should've been canned long ago for his storytelling skills (I hope that was his):

The first pair of open shutters he saw and Fenris dived through. He landed in a kitchen filled with the smell of baking bread, and a human woman screamed as he rolled to his feet. No doubt the sight of an elf in skintight armor, carrying a blade almost as large as himself, wasn’t a welcome sight. He got to his feet and noticed the surprisingly comely woman, dressed in a nightgown that revealed more of her cleavage than she no doubt expected, pressing against the wall.

He grinned at her, and she screamed again. So he grabbed a freshly-baked loaf off the counter and raced for the front door of the hovel. Already a soldier was climbing through the window, causing the woman to scream once more and faint dead away.

 

[Stabwound]

Come on, people here of all places are acting butthurt about a tweet like that? What a world we live in.

Moral support, preferably from a minimum distance of 25 miles away.

It's less butthurt about the tweet and more laughing at him being dumb enough to post that under his official Bioware account in a public conversation. The Codex may be vulgar in forum conversation but the front page is relatively clean and respectful of other parties. This guy's whole job is to put on a good face for one of the largest and most Politically Correct developers, he shouldn't be fucking around.

 

[communard]

lol fat people

 

[Surf Solar]

Think I just found out his new job

BTW what's the matter with the butthurt about this tweet? Everyone I know would just laugh and put some "oh you :3" response up. Jesus christ some people have sticks in their arses.

 

[Roguey]

If he had been fired they probably wouldn't have let him work for another two months come on.

 

[Andyman Messiah]

There are several fat jokes I can make to explain the two months thing.

One of them involves a goat and the song Tuesday Morning by The Pogues (Spider Stacy vocals).

This. It's fine and dandy for a supermarket cashier to talk trash and call people "insert insult here" but if they do it at work in front of all the customers... GG

This is fucking amazing. Man, I wish he was Bioware's writer now, would've made the games entertaining. So, so entertaining.

How was his tweet an insult?

You mean like Dragon Age 2 entertaining?

You could say it's really... weighing on him.



No, but seriously guys: what if he died and he was too fat to take to the morgue, so then the CSI would have to hacksaw his fucking limbs off and put each one in an ambulance and then there would be a convoy of ambulances like in The Dark Knight and then Joker would drive an ambulance out of the bank full of the preorder money for Dragon Age: Inquisition, and what this means, guys, is that Chris Priestly planned an elaborate heist and used a dead whale to like, fake his own death and now he's in Bermuda pretending to be an innocuous island.

*Shrugs* I don't mean insult literately, just swearing for example.

 

[pakoito]

Another one that jumps boat. Who's left?

Senior writer Stephenie Meyer

Twilight? On my Mass Effect? Wait, that makes sense.
