Story Of Anal-LogHype

HELLO WORLD AND ANAL-LOG HYPE FANS…Let me tell you about the backstabbers you like to visit on a weekly basis. So, I wake up today to find that my E3 pass has been revoked. Now at first I thought they were joking about taking it away, but apparently I’m a terrible judge of character and these jerks basically took the eight months of work I did for them and pissed it down the drain like it didn’t exist. Before I go into how we got here, I’ll start from the beginning. Grab something to eat and drink ‘cause Uncle Breezy has a story to tell.

Eight months ago, I was approached by Krome (Adrian, a.k.a. Idiot with no balls; a.k.a. The guy who doesn't want to get his hands dirty) to write for AH. At the time I told him, "Sure, but I suck at writing.” I made that known every single chance I spoke to him. He said, "Not a problem you don't have to write anything but what can you do?" I said I can post anime shows ‘cause I always make time for my anime and I’m always on late after The Bitbag's Warzone podcast to talk to people about how the show went afterwards. He tells me, "Fine, you can post that (after-show to the previously mention podcast)" and that's what I did. Some weeks go by and everything is cool. I'm on the podcast chilling and posting my anime.

A few more weeks go by and I'm approached by Krome again asking why I'm not writing anything. I tell him again, "Hey, I suck at writing", but he says, "No problem, we’ll have someone read over it for you so go ahead and write something, but before you do make an N4G account." I'm like “What the fuck is N4G?” He explains it so I make an account, write three articles, and get my account approved thinking that's all he wanted was for me to be able to approve shit for the site. For me, that's no problem ‘cause I felt obligated seeing how they were getting me a few games here and there to review during the whole process. A few more weeks go by and it's all good but again I’m approached by Krome wanting to know why I'm not reporting on trailers and shit. Again I say the same thing, “I SUCK AT WRITING!!!” He says, "OG (Quentyn) got you son go ahead and write."

I did what needed to get done and for the first few days it was all good. I was cranking out more shit than the oil leak in the Gulf right now. Then one day I couldn’t post, because my account was demoted. I spoke to Krome and asked why I couldn’t post. He says, “I don't know, go ask OG." So, I ask OG and he says, "Go ask Krome." For a week this shit went on.

My articles and even the thing I was brought on to do - the anime show - was held up because of some shit behind the scenes. So, I let it go and after a week and then I noticed that I could post again. OG pulls me to the side and says, "I don't want you posting anything without me reading it before hand." I'm like “Okay, not a problem. I'll save it as a draft from now on.” And shit is cool for... Guess how long? A week. Again, I'm approached by Krome asking why won’t I post anything and I tell him OG told me not to post and wait for his approval. Krome says, "Who hired you, me or OG?" I say he (Krome) did. Then, he tells me to PM (private message) him my posts. That way, he can find them easier.

Now for those who don't know, when you use WordPress you can see all the things drafted with one click. At this time, I'm the only one saving shit as a draft. I do as I’m told for a month and shit was cool. Then I see other sites climb up in the ranks and gain popularity. So we decided to create the forums. Now Khalid (too many fake aliases for trolling, a.k.a. Mr. BACKSTABBER) decides to enforce some new laws when the forum comes about. He says “From now on, we need to post three times in the forum every day and comment on each post on the site to fake a community and make it look like we get more traffic then we really do.”

I say it's a stupid idea and the moment I do, I get called a traitor and put in the category of renegade. I explained to them that I have school and personal issues to take care of, so I don’t have much time for the forum." They replied back with a “So what?” remark. Time passes and everything calms down for a bit. Now, for me, I'm assuming since they know my situation on the site, they wouldn't ask me to do more than what’s required of me; a few articles a week, the standard anime show, and the “After Warzone Show” (which ends up flopping because “DJ” Krome couldn’t remember where he saved the damn file).

From October to November of 2009, the site is running smoothly. I'm posting and getting shit done at school and home, talks about us planning a trip to CES and a few guys, mainly OG and Krome, said they were going to go but can't cause of money being tight. So, I tell OG to come up with half for air fare and I had him on hotel and food. My check from school was for $2,250, so I was planning on using this to help them out. He says, "Cool, I'll pay you back." After seeing this, everyone on the site wants a favor from the “First National Bank of Breezy.”

Time begins to wind down and I start spending some of the money. I saved about $1,000 for OG and myself ‘cause I said I would take care of his costs. All of the sudden, guess who else is short now? DJ KROME!!! He steps to me and he says he needs about $300 to go, because he will be staying with family in Georgia and the flight is more expensive there. So I'm like, “Cool, I got your back because I can fly free almost anywhere in the U.S.” It's about two weeks before CES and OG backs out.

Now it's just myself and Krome. I ask him, "What's your bank and account number?" I ask him this so I can safely give him the funds and have a record of the transaction. He gives me some bullshit reasons why he couldn’t give the info to me. I then say, "You live 3 hours from me. I could drive to your place to give you the $300?" He says, "Oh, no, no. It's not $300 anymore – it’s about $450." I ask why the increase and he says that he couldn’t cover hotel cost. I say, "Not a problem, so where you want to meet up for the cash?" He still says, "Nah, you can put it in PayPal." I'm like “Okay, but there is a fee for me of like $0.45 for every $5.” He says, "I’ll take care of the fee." And I reply, “Sure, but why don't you want to just take the cash?” And again, he comes with more BS reasons. Now when it comes to money, my mother helps me manage it. When I tell her the situation she wisely says not to trust him. I’m glad that I listened to her.

It's now a week before CES and Krome announces on the podcast (go listen for yourself) that me, the new guy that has never been to an event like this in his life (and who is a terrible writer to boot), is going to CES by himself. I don't know about you guys, but you don't send the new guy to do a veterans job. So I say that I'm not going by myself. So, more talking goes on about CES and we decide no one is going. On the night of CES, everyone on the site is gone except myself and OG. I'm watching the press conference for CES and OG is watching football, I suppose. I see all the new tech reports and I'm writing it up as it comes. I start freaking out because all of it was N4G news worthy.

'PSN service across all Sony products', 'New affordable LCD TVs', ‘New video recorders, etc.’ As I'm writing it up, Krome appears but he's on his Skype phone. I'm telling him we need to post this and he says, "You go do it and don't worry if it’s bad. I will correct it when I get home." So I say, "Cool!" I go into the backend of the site and just as about to hit publish, I see that I can’t post anything. That's right, somebody changed my account status again. I tell Krome and he says to tell OG. OG is nowhere to be found until the next day. I'm not going to go into why he couldn't be found, but Jamie Foxx has a nice song about it. How does it go? 'Blame it on the...' (which he is fond of!).
