'Boomstick Gaming: Reviews Good Enough To Steal!"
That's a good tagline, I hope Boomstick takes this opportunity to boost his publicity like that.
Mimikyu dude, that's money
So is plagiarism!
"Good enough to steal" - IGN probably
Just slap that in the front page of the channel. Lol
i know I am kinda off topic but does anyone know of a good website to watch newly released tv shows online?
@Salvador Harrison flixportal :D
He was so proud of his first edited review that he accidentally copy pasted someone else's review entirely.
Press *Ctrl + V* to pay respects.

I want GOOD ENOUGH TO STEAL to be the new praise from critics in movie trailers
"It takes a brave man to steal."
I'd love to know what it feels like. To feel so secure in your employment. That you think it's fine to just not do your job and still get paid. Boy that must be a good feeling lol
Hum Drum I believe that he has been fired.
yup
So almost every manager nowadays?
Finally it's my time to start up the superb finest pals channel
With Wooly Fifa and Game Theory
It's the all Canadian mat, the tall blonde patt and the man from tobago fluffy
Don't forget Leon, who will have to quit to go stream.
THE ETHNICITY BATTLE STARTS NOW!!
featuring Fuzzy, Fat McBiceps, and Enraged Rat
The only thing good to come out of this is that Boomstick Gaming got more subscribers due to the publicity.
Matthew Hilliker yeah i just subscribed to him
Boomstick Gaming : My reviews are good enough to steal!
remember when that one ign reviewer that played the game on the easiest difficulty and gave it a bad review because the game ended abruptly, and then the developer tweeted him that he has to play it on a higher difficulty to see the ending, and the ign dude was being all smug about the dev being salty about the review only for it to blow up in his face and he ended up quietly edit the review.
IGN has always been shit, and they let shit like this happen all the time without any consequences, like your typical Internet journalist.
That point at the end about paying reviewers, made me remember *Gus Sorola* from Achievement Hunter, saying that people were stupid for thinking that press could be bought out by companies, while having the giant Pipboy limited edition on his arm, and another one on the desk... lmao
It was hilarious too when on twitter someone tried to call out IGN in 2016 and some IGN writers immediately jumped down his throat for not naming names. Lmao they wanted to know if they would be indicted.
Video games journalism is a fucking joke anyway and it has been for almost a decade now. I understand a tonne of games are being released every month, but not every game has to be reviewed.
This is one of the reasons no one takes games media seriously, especially ACTUAL journalists.
Unfortunately actual journalists have done this too.
This is why i don't take journalists seriously, period
Skullnaught Fair.
IGN reputation go down
Number of “_____ go up/down” jokes continue up
DKing I don't think they have a reputation to go down.
IGN Go Down
StepKickKing WOOLIE HOLE Go Up
IGN Go Down
am doing it rite??
ilr Superbly
Kidding, IGN can't go lower.
Mother's Basement Go Up
For journalists that actually care about the profession, plagiarism is one of the worst things you can do. This guy might want to start looking into new careers.
This is video game journalism. He will probably get a promotion.
I heard Kotaku is hiring.
Johnny Begood
New employeer: Have you ever had experience in journalism?
Guy: I was a video game journalist.
NE: ...I'm gonna put that down as 'no prior experience'.
his gravestone also will say *WHAT A FOOL!*
Shit. IGN stole Mother's Basement's Basement?
where's he gonna live now????
Is he OK? Is Mother's Basement's Mother OK?
I swear I thought he said they stole Mother Base
He live's in his Girlfriend's apartment.
he doesn't have a basement, it's his mother's
5:18 is the reason for God Hand 3/10.
the only thing surprising about IGN is the fact that people still read it enough for them to remain viable & huge
well in a world where everyone is trying to steal your personal info, sell you shit, or infect your computer with viruses ppl tend to gravitate towards names they recognize
yeah but IGN is known for doing all of those AND being shit at their job
+artisafrustrado Yeah, it is sad. I believe people are simply ignorant/have forgotten how bad IGN is.
They're known for being shit among informed gamers.
They're known as the biggest game reviews company among people who aren't as informed or just don't give a shit.
You'd be surprised how many people are in the latter category.
goober2049 Who else BUT a massive enthusiast would read a games magazine?
IGN took the review down and fired the writer. They said they're gonna get someone else to review it.
Maybe they should offer the spot to boomstick.
MBelasko12 you know what dude, that's fair, cut out the middle man, if his reviews are good enough to steal, just hire him, it's not stealing if you hire the person you stole from, now it's hr test
MBelasko12 But does Boomstick have standards?
It's a job, shoot. The editor-in-chief must have slept on the switch.
What if IGN allowed it.
Karma for calling gods hand a bad game lol
Roberto Salazar
Along with Double Dragon Neon.
And the too much water review
Big bad for big bad website
_Can't spell IGNorant without...._
Super APM Thats fucking great
I love your profile picture.
King Daniel The Dandy whatever.. they don’t do anything worse than anybody else they’re just “hardcore” gamers favorite whipping boy right now. COD bad Konami bad Witcher 3 good Death Stranding cool! Blah blah blah I download all my opinions in 5gb files from Reddit. Jesus Christ I fucking hate gamers 🙄

11:00 “Those engender friendships!”
Well now we know what the Super Best Friends do with each other off camera
It's called these media sites are not vetting their employees anymore. This is happening everywhere.
We're still fresh off of God Hand and now IGN made another big bad
You guys DID actually see the game, right?...
what game?
See God Hand? I mean, sure, I've seen it. Deserves more than that infamous IGN score.
...Does it, though? Objectively?
Yes. I say that, objectively, God Hand deserves more than a 3/10.
God Hand is not a fundamentally broken game. Controls take some getting used to but still offers a good bit of customization. It is a game that rewards skill and encourages ones to get good to get more rewards. God Hand is not unbeatably hard, fairly fair and does offer a wide range of tools. Aesthetically it's rather unique with few games even approaching what God Hand offers. It doesn't overstay its welcome. And while the game isn't much of a looker it's mechanics had effort put into them.
It's weird and quirky. And deserves more than a 3, objectively. Not everyone's going to be into it, due to its quirks. But I'm not going to, say, rate Overwatch a 2 because I'm not into team shooters. Aside from the fact that I never played Overwatch because I'm not into team shooters. Save the 3/10 for the bad, dull, uninteresting games.
I respect YongYea's video (and the Forbes article he uses) for talking about how Boomstick Gaming was actually really cool about the whole thing, showing kindness and understanding towards the guy who stole his work and wanting to find a solution where everyone benefits.
It's cool to see podcast highlights on your channel! I hope you put up more in the future.
The funniest thing is people are trying to defend this as a one-time mistake, when he's now being shown to have done this MULTIPLE times.
Even if it was the guy's first time ever doing something like this, even if he apologized for 24 hours straight, he'd still deserve to be canned and shunned across all journalism. Plagiarism is for journalists the equivalent of dropping your pants and taking a dump in front of the Pope for Catholics.
IGN GO DOWN
Walpurgisnacht boomstick gaming go waaaay up!
Matt just looks dead in everything now
Matt go down
EVO goes UP, Matt and Woolie goes DOWN
Some people just look like that. The best example for me would be Logan-sama
too much alcohol probably
Wajima I was going to use myself as an example too but choose someone else. Kinda annoying when someone ask's "What's wrong" when they know damn well it's just my face
Oh IGN~
**~Thats our IGN~**
cue campy sitcom music
I remember plagiarizing a single paragraph from Wikipedia for a one page paper during my Freshman year of High School. Yes, I got caught. Yes I got an F on the assignment. Point is, I felt like a real piece of shit for doing it and it was really childish of me. What really upsets me is that IGN would hire someone like that, when they're the most viewed when it comes to reviews. They have so much potential when it comes to consumer awareness in games, but they're pulling shit like this. Glad the dude got fired. Really hope they quality control their staff more.
Dude, who fucking caaaaares? It's just text.
Pat really references a Jim Sterling video in every podcast.
What a time to be alive, eh?
- Awsm Chimera
Why would he do something so stupid he has a family to take care of.....did he genuinely think he wouldn't get caught?
NGMajora yes that tweet says it enough
IGN go down
Boomstick Gaming go WAY up
This is why more and more youtubers gain ground. In fact the only decent gaming channel to me right now, that reminds me of good old 90s publications in YT is digital foundry, they still approach stuff form a clean technical angle, and its retro section is amazing. Polygon and IGN are absolute morons, in fact the intermediary period stuff like Escapist and RPS also degraded themselves now that I think about it.
IGN is too busy with their Disney XD show to care about making good reviews.
I am happy to say that reportedly IGN has already fired that editor for plagiarizing.
"Everybody go watch Jim Sterling" No. No I will not.
So.. about those ethics in games journalism.
In fairness to IGN, it was the writer not the company and they fired him. IGN should not be getting the flack they’re getting. The writer should.
Not really surprising when it comes to ign
Remember that time ign ripped off Sugar pine seven last year?
You think that Matt, Pat and Woolie providing funny and enjoyable LP’s would make me watch them?
You guys act like this is new. I personally know someone ripped off by a Rolling Stone guy too lazy to go to a music festival (despite his obvious free ticket). He directly quoted my friend's slightly fabricated (best to his imagination) quote of the singer word-for-word among other clear lifts (like only mentioning the bands my friend saw and skipping the day he missed).
The original was a local article (that happened to be online).
What about negan being in tekken whats fighting games
the fuck is a negan
Walking Dead shit, and not even the good Walking Dead shit.
PALACIO254
The actor who played the Comedian is now playing a watered down version of the Comedian in a show that is failing so fast the lead actor is quiting this season, is now in a fighting game as the company is posting the character on everything because they think it is saving the franchise but it really hasn't.
PALACIO254 a nigga with a baseball bat.
Bigger channels steal/copies content from smaller better channels. What else is new on youtube?
When they're talking about having to do reviews of games you don't care for, I want to shout at the screen:
"That's why it's a job and you get *paid* for it asshole! Cause sometimes you don't want to do it!"
Time to create a new original youtube channel: The Game Postulates
the first half is like "well i can see how similar terms and things would be discussed" but the second half he gets too lazy
Guys please add links to the people you mention so we can go check them out
I like this guy because he used the same plagiarisms tech i use to write my essays in one day. Just copy what people say in a video and change up some words here and there
yes
There's too much IGN/some guy conflation going on here. What this one guy did isn't really related in any way to IGN as a whole. That's like blaming all youtube "personalities" for the shit that some of them pull.
I mean, the review got pulled and the dude fired within hours of it coming out and it's really hard to check for plagiarism beforehand when it's taken from a youtube video without transcriptions.
You know if he stole the review he could have taken the points from said review. Play a bit of the game to have enough material to make your own review
LIE, STEAT, CHEAL - Pat
11:08 oof looks weird in retrospect
Bye Felicia lol
Who the fuck would copy mother's basement? That's like copying off of the kid who gets straight Ds.
We want a 4th best friend. I nominate James small
most likely scenario: reviewer kept dying on the 1st enemy
Wait, people actually read IGN?
Yes, that's how BoomStickGaming found out.
Ok so IGN was never great... but this is a new low.
“IGN was never great”
I giggled at that, thank you
8:32 What the fuck is that Bandicoot & Kratos thumbnail?
Which podcast number is this one?
258
They forgot to mention that he's THE FUCKING NINTENDO EDITOR
He's clearly the fall guy.
So apparently the guy came out and declines the allegations of plagiarism
he can deny them all the way to the unemployment office, then.
Not only that, he challenged people to find more examples of plagiarism, and people found that most of his stuff including his Linkdn was stolen...
The real question is why a brazilian review, of all things.
Wow... for once, someone got their review on a games sight and actually did get paid in EXPOSURE bucks. I guess this is the secret for all those writers getting screwed over by game review sights- just make your reviews yourself, and then leave them in a place where they can be easily stolen. That seems much better than the no money and shit boss set up you have now.
OMG... Another one doing this type of bad stuff , this is why people think less and less of my country ...
IGN bout to join Machinima
Broomstick gaming go waaaay up.
Please do a live chat.... ☺
they do, the Friendcast is recorded live on Twitch
Damn. Woolie needs to work on the cutting others off thing
IGN fired him
Boomstick Gaming go up,
IGN go WAY down
I don't know about you but I buy games on recommendations from SBF. Then I know it's at least gonna be fun.
Not even remotely a bad idea, tbh. Pretty much everything they've ever played on the channel or in their streams is either fun as hell, interesting, or at least amusing. Even the Saturday Morning Scrublords stuff that they keep pulling out of the burning dumpster these days.
Fullwolf346 So long as they're cheap and you have company the dumpster fire can supply hours of entertainment!
I didn't know Boomstick gaming was a thing. Will check him out guess this may help him despite what happened being just fucked.
plagiarism go up
employment go waaaay down
Thus explaining why everyone hates Carlos Mencia.
Well this is unexpected
4/5 this review has a little something taken from everyone
7/10 Too much plagiarism. ~IGN
i dont know what dead cells is but i bet its not related to vamp and fatman, therefore it sucks
About 90% of IGN content is just a copy/paste of some youtube videos nowadays.
Woolie plz get some sleep
Beastie boys were on def jam...
FEMC go up
Can somebody fuckin tell pat to finish his resident evil 2 playthrough
IGN is the TNA of game j o u r n a l I s m
FeMC looks uggo as hecko
Also woah game "journalists" are bad at their jobs?
IGN go down
"Which game was about"
Dead Cells on both videos
"I dont know"
Six sets of eyes.
Why not upload the podcast on youtube like others do? For some people it's way more convenient.
S2MH it hurts the channel and our sponsors.
Try turnitin.com. Type in the first guys words then do the thief's words, would most certainly be over 70% plagiarized.
IGN GO DOWN
