Adam Sessler Responds to Fanboy Wars, Is Pissed

Wow. Adam Sessler is a super nice guy, at least from the time that I met him at PAX. He was super busy, and in a rush, but took the time to talk to me and even accepted a business card from me. Super swell fellow.

Well, this happy-go-lucky man is a bit pissed off in the newest edition of “Sessler’s Soapbox”, in which he responds to the fanboy wars between XBox 360 and PS3 fans after X-Play’s review of Killzone 2. Basically, after the review, people accused XPlay of being biased towards the 360, and also of lacking integrity, for getting paid off to review the game the way they did.

The best part of all? They gave the game a perfect score. Yeah. I can see why he’d be pissed. He really gets going by the end, too.

  1. That was seriously awesome. I’ve never really paid much attention to Adam Sessler (Sizzler, lawl) before, but this has taken him up a notch in my book. I too am quite tired of the seemingly endless stream of absolutely moronic and un-founded accusations of MS/Sony bias.

    Like Adam said, if you question whether or not he’s getting paid under the table by MS, you question hi s integrity. Never question a journalist about their integrity.

  2. Wow he was pissed. Understandably though and I agreed with everything the man said. It’s kind of sad that he has to deal with that crap, especially when he gave the game a perfect score!

  3. Wow, another nugget of wisdom that proves your originality in providing us with imaginative names for the characters from TLW we all know and love. I mean… Adam Sessler/Sizzler? COME ON, GUYS.

    Naww, I’m only messing. Seriously, though, this guy is freaking hilarious. How come I never heard oh him before? He’s like a slightly more positive Zero Punctuation.

    Really? Even if you don’t like him, I thought everyone had heard of Adam Sessler. He’s been the host of GameSpot TV/Extended Play/X-Play for over 10 years.

    And please don’t compare him to that hack Yahtzee.

  5. I haven’t heared of him either! I loved the vid from the intro to the whole outburst. He raises very good points. It kinda makes me wonder why we all bitch about one another’s console preference.

  6. Eddy, you never told me you met Adam! That’s awesome, I love X-Play, it is hilarious and intelligent…when it wants to be.

    Nick, Yahtzee is funny, even if his opinions aren’t worth a crap.

    If you want to see a great rant of his, look up the one about people online saying racist and homophobic things. He literally spoke from my heart that day,lol.

    Adam hit the nail on the head with that. Thisfanboy crap has got to go.

    I agree, but when I see people say, “I’m waiting for Yahtzee’s review before I buy X game” it makes me want to punch babies.

    Are you serious????

    I love Zero Punctuation, but I only watch it for humor, not for anything else. He panned LittleBigPlanet and I laughed my ass off and I love that game!

    What morons.

  9. Sessler’s Soapbox and AotS are pretty much the only things I can stand that come from XPlay.
    Sessy really laid down the law with his burning of thems fanboys. lol “Did Microsoft pay them to give KH2 a 5…” HOPELESS!

  10. I have watched Xplay for a long time, and never took him seriously. But my respect for that man just went up to revered! This guy is infreakingcrediable!

  11. Eddy, after I saw that vid, I don’t think there is any possible way you can contain the awesomeness that is Adam Sessler in Adam Sizzler in TLW. The system would crash.

  12. Man he makes the point of fanboys are idiots and people who start flame wars are just loud annoying people that deserve to be kicked in the brain.

  13. Adam Sessler’s image has just became really really good in my mind. And thank god that I got out of my fanboyism becuase I hated my old self so much. Thanks for showing me this.

  14. Adam Sessler is simply awesome. 😀

    Well, Yahtzee is…meh. ZP was great at the beginning but really went downhill after the first seven or eight videos. It’s simply not funny anymore. Also, he’s polishing Valve’s shoes.
    (GameDamage is bullshit, too.)

    But yeah, I agree with Mr.Sessler…I hate that fanboy bullshit, that’s the reason why I never read the comments at all. (My level of intelligence would drop down from over 9000 to 0. o.o”)
