Next, we have Krome again preying on poor Kristen Perez (The Bitbag's “GameMeetsGirl”). That’s right, Kristen, whatever this dude has been saying to you has been a lie, and he talks about how he’s going smash you (in case you don't know, this means sex) at E3 Oh there is more, like what his girlfriend said about you or what Keem said. But, I'm sure you have heard that shit before from other guys or trolls in the Warzone, so I don't need to say it to you.
Let us see, where can we go from here? Ah yes! Let’s talk about me for a second ‘cause I'm sure they’re likely to fabricate some of what I’ve said (exactly how Krome did to Michael A. when he left and did nothing wrong). I, Breezy, told a few half-truths while working on AH. The first one was saying I played GOW3 early and had it at my house. That was a lie. I admit I did not have the game in my possession. I did, however, play the game and have many times passed the ten minute mark that was shown on YouTube and many other popular game sites. The second is not really a lie but a mix-up. I said I was talking to a Japanese girl through a self-taught language program. This was true, the only lie was the picture she sent me which I assumed to be her and thought was her. For a month these guys sat at their computers and found out the girl that picture belonged to and her name which is Valerie Lee. I can’t help if a girl looks like somebody else especially when she shows herself for a split second on a webcam in a dark room. But hey, maybe you guys never been tricked by a girl in your entire lives, it does happen. So again, I am deeply sorry for saying and taking those actions.
Now back to Krome. It seems he has a reoccurring theme. I’m an indie developer in training as Alex (The Bitbag's Fat Anorexic/Anonymous) would say. Now I do have small game projects going on that I'm very superstitious about and don't like talking about them. I can't help if someone thinks like me, is older than me, and patented it before me. I can help not talking about it. For fourty-five minutes, I was made fun of for being superstitious about my games by Trill. Even though it was funny in the beginning, was 45 minutes necessary?
Krome decided to set up a meeting for me with a website that interviews indie developers and their struggle or whatever. He doesn't work for me, nor will he ever. Well, my question to him is why is he talking to this dude directly and not me. His answer was “I know dude and I set up and this meeting to promote yourself and game blah blah blah.” If you wanted to help me, why not introduce me to this guy and let me talk to him directly? Why go through him as if you were my manager, especially when you have Khalid saying make him wear an AH shirt? This isn't the music business and I didn't sign any contract. For me to ask you to have him contact me directly becoming a problem, shows me know you told this dude that you're my manager or some shit like you're my boss.
If that wasn't the case, you should've been cool and I would've got an email before you all took it from me. And that's another thing, even if you all got rid of me and you saying you wanted to help me with my future endeavors; why the fuck didn't you give dude my personal email? It's not like because I left your site that means I'm no longer an indie dev. That shows me more that you set that shit up to benefit the site and mainly yourself. God can only imagine the lies and shit you said to the man. On top of that, they have no form of communication. With people not knowing what the fuck is going on, I don’t see how people who never heard from or seen can still be associated with the site. How about having them post at least once a month. Honestly, I ask for a break and don't get it even though I gave legit reasons why I need it. It is then granted to me and before my break is over I'm fired? Stupidity reigns supreme in AH.
And another thing for the fans - we got ready to record a podcast so many times a week, it’s plain retarded. Terrence writes the agenda, we sit in a call for 2-3 hours waiting for either Krome or someone else to get ready and you know what they end up doing? Getting on Xbox Live and playing fucking games. That's what holds up the podcast. They get into these calls and use Skype as cross game chat for Xbox Live, even though you can already do that on the Xbox. One night, Krome and Keem played Splinter Cell: Conviction during the podcast and we started late. We were supposed to record around 8 p.m. yet, we didn't start till fucking 12 a.m.. I had to sit through a whole 4 hours of "I'm the ultimate gamer" and other bullshit, ego stroking, circle jerking crap. It's like who gives a damn about recording the podcast?
Then at one point, I was trying to put together a site for my game company and that was when I approached Torrance Davis (Chief Editor and owner of The Bitbag) for advice and pricing. He gave me some good numbers but I was strapped for cash and searched elsewhere. So I go to Krome and I ask him how much would he charge to host my site and make it for me. At first he says a $100, and I’m like for that I can get a professional to do it, so then he says “Okay, $75.” Which is around the same price people at my school charge for the same exact service.
I say no and he gets to $50 and I’m cool with that, but I don’t have any money so let me buy you game instead. He says no and I think “Okay, maybe he needs the $50 for something else and knowing my previous history with the dude and money, I decide to do it through PayPal. I tell him, “Hey, when I get the $50, I’ll put it in there if you agree to cover the fees.” He says “Yes, just put what you can in there and I’ll start on the site for you.”
For me, this was a huge progress ‘cause I needed a website done and some of my staff makes beats and I wanted to promote them for the free, as a thanks of my gratitude. $5 is all I had left in my bank account and I sent it to him via PayPal, and I get hit with that .45 cent shit which puts my account in the negative $35, so not only did I get hit with a fee using PayPal, I get hit with a fee from the bank. All he can do is believe that I would pay him, and for me it’s like you question me paying you for a service when during the CES planning I was going to give you $450.
Anyway, I’m assuming he started so I begin showing him shit I wanted on the site, like the theme and special plug-ins and stuff ‘cause my staff had special needs of their own. And he tells me “Cool, I can do that but I’m going to do it in Joomla.” I’m like WTF is “Joomla” and he tells me Joomla is what “professional sites” use. So I looked it up and showed it to my staff to see if they liked it. They saw it and hated it and they all say they want use Wordpress. I went back to Krome and asked him if he could use Wordpress and he begins some more BS like “Oh Joomla is great! You don’t want make it look like a blog, do you?”
I say “No, but a template change can change all that.” So for three days I argued with him to use Wordpress and he agrees. A few weeks fly by and I ask him how the site is coming along and he says “What site?” And I’m like “Umm… the one I put a $5 payment on and got hit with fees to show you I’m willing to pay for my product.” He had the balls to reply back saying “Oh, you haven’t paid me yet.” WTF!
I say to him “I’m going to pay you, but I’m not stupid to not pay until I see what you’ve done so far.” So he shows me the gamer access website, saying he made their site. I know his tricks and I say “Okay, cool, but still make my site then I’ll pay you.” Long story short, I’m out five dollars, he never made my site and I ended up having my mother clear my account up and having to pay her back for listening to a snake…
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Wow... so this is what a lawsuit waiting to happen looks like. Good to know. First and foremost, there are a lot of lies in these three posts, and trusting some kid with bad grammar throwing a temper tantrum is never a good thing, especially when someone is ghost writing for him. About 75% of his beef is completely irrelevant. He was admittedly a horrible writer and was about to leave the site, so he was removed.
Of course his E3 passes as a representative of Analog Hype are going to be removed. That kind of, you know, goes with the territory of no longer being a part of Anolog Hype.
Why would anyone "in the industry" ever trust this guy again? He has now proven that when he doesn't get his way, he is going to run away and cry like a little girl about all the ways he has been wronged. What does a Skype chat have to do with anything? What do personal finances have to do with anything? Because they both happen to write for the same site?
I wouldn't trust this guy to represent me anywhere. He has proven time and time again that he can't control his emotions and now he is proving that he can't handle any semblance of professionalism. That became apparent to me the day I made the mistake of trying to tell him there were problems with something he wrote. I was ordered to fix it, which I refused to do, because he is not going to learn to get better that way. This turned into an entire ordeal, all because he is resigned to the fact that he is a poor writer and can't handle an ounce of criticism. Keeping that in mind is exactly why anything he says should be taken with a complete grain of salt.
Hate to break it to you dude, this is not going to be the first time in your life you get "fired" or "let go." I don't know this dude well, and I certainly wasn't around for most of the BS that is in these three "articles," and I wish the dude nothing but the best, but enough is enough. I just find it highly ironic that for a group of people (because Baron did not write this, I can assure you that) who crying and moan about slander so much, you seem to be so good at it.
My best advice is that you consider what you are trying to accomplish with these three posts, whoever "you" may be, in posting this nonsense, and maybe even consult some legal counsel about the legality, because I can assure you I have advised AH to do the same. I would think it would be best for all parties involved to move on, across the board...
I can control my emotions.. I was promised at the time because of personal issues and me requesting taking a break that I would still be granted access to E3..Skype chats are where a majority of our conversations are, and because of this im able to save a log and back up what I say with facts, so as far as your statements go as "this all being a lie" please contact the people I mentioned who said they will verify this information or if you would like I can show you some of the chat logs. please don't tell me that you your self have never been upset and ranted to your friends about the issue..I did that for 8 months until now. When they pull the rug from underneath me..
yes I am a horrible writer I'll admit that but before posting that here or anywhere else. I had two experienced writers proof read it and correct errors within the blog.For you to make assumption that I am not trustworthy person is a plain lie. You do not know me well enough to make that conclusion.
You cannot and should not judge someone when they are venting as they are not level headed at the time...I have worked before and was fired wrongly, and in that situation the same thing happen. I trusted the manager and was doing my job, he made a harsh statement to me and the customers in the store heard it and reported it, but instead of them taking action against the manager I was fired.
As far as "time and time again, me not be able to control my emotions" unless you know me personally then you should not make such statements, and if you're going of these blog posts. I was unable to make it one solid post because of N4G's character restrictions for blogs that's why its three posts. its really only one post.
The moment you turn 18 you can be charged as an adult in the court of law. so since im 19 that would definitely make me an adult and I would have no chance of going juvenile detention now would I..I was considering leaving because of they way I was treated there and how my opinion was not respected..just like now you're entitled to you're opinion and I am responding to it like so, but for me it was like I never even said anything.eights months of no one listening can become extremely annoying...
Venting is when you chit chat with a friend at lunch of over IM. Airing your dirty laundry to anyone that will listen publicly is immature, childish and shows that you can not be trusted. What you are doing now is trying to damage the character and credibility of other people simply because you have been slighted. If you want to talk about being an adult, man the fuck up and move on. Again, what are you accomplishing other than showing everyone that can read this that you are a spoiled little brat throwing a temper tantrum?
Yes, you have shown time and again in public forums that you can not control your emotions, and until you do something to change that, nothing will ever change that opinion. The whole fact that you felt the need to post this exact post on a blog, on AH's message board and on this site is complete proof of that, and then you went round spreading it on Twitter and anywhere else that people would listen. Most of the problems that you cite are personal problems between you and other PEOPLE, not members of the site.
No one gives a fuck about the Skype chat, or who is a part of it. It is exactly what it says it is: a chat room with the title "America, Fuck Yeah." They even went as far as to create an AH only chat which was meant to only discuss site stuff, but you very conveniently left that part out. Of course, people should care about our Skype chats about as much as they should care about what you had for lunch. It is irrelevant. The fact that you went and talked about conversations that people had in it just goes to show how much you can not be trusted.
Why would anyone trust you dude? You've made it clear that when you get mad, you're going to run around the internet and cry about it and talk about things that were discussed in confidence. When you were let go, there was no announcement. I didn't even know for a few days. Life goes on.
You were let go because you were going to leave. It is that simple. You were called on it and you lied, and now you are posting on the exact site you denied you had anything to do with. But of course, you want everyone to believe everything you said in this stupid post. I don't know any of it to be true or false. I don't care, and no one else should either.
As far as E3 goes, dude, what part of this don't you get? The passes are for Analog Hype staffers. The site gets X amount of passes. You are no longer affiliated with Analog Hype, therefor, you don't get Analog Hype passes. It doesn't matter what anyone promised you or said to you or any of that. It doesn't matter if you have Skype chat logs to prove people said whatever. YOU. ARE. NO. LONGER. A. PART. OF. THAT. WEBSITE. Read it slowly and take it in. That is THEIR rules.
Why would Analog Hype want to send you to represent them anyway? You have been nothing but a headache since you have been gone. You could have been a man and walked away, but instead, you're crying like a two year old whose mamma just spanked him. Grow up.
The bottom line is, professionally, Analog Hype was more than within their right to remove you from the site. I have nothing against you personally, I don't know you, right now I don't want to know you, and I wish you nothing but the best in your future endeavors. I agree with you that you have passion for what you are doing and that you "work hard," but aside from the challenge of correcting your work, dealing with you when you are corrected and the fact that you were bailing on AH anyway, nothing else matters. It is black and white. You made decisions that got you removed from the site.
My best advice to you is to forget this nonsense, deal with your personal issues privately and move the fuck on. Having shit like this attached to your name is not going to help you at all. Trying to bury Analog Hype on your way out the door is not going to help you at all. You may think some of these random people you are talking to have your back, but anyone else that looks at this is going to see past the ten layers of bullshit and realize you are just a disgruntled ex-employee with a vendetta. So instead of trying to fix every "misunderstanding/lie&quo t; you have made in your blog every time you get called on it in front of these people, just bow out, delete all this bullshit and everyone can move the fuck on.
That's what a man would do. You've got all this big talk about being a man. Prove it.
Now, I have to start off this comment with a big ass "LoL." I somewhat have to laugh at myself for reading this tale of Barren. Luckily, my reading speed is 98th percentile. Otherwise, I would have wasted more than just a piss break. Anywho, I will not comment on each post separately; I'll just place it all here in one neat comment box. I already understand you, speaking of Barren, see a fair deal of text and automatically cringe into a fetus of fear. With an engulfing amount of confidence, I will still respond knowing Mr. Davis will relay the elementary cliff-notes version to you. Hopefully, you catch some important points.
The first paragraph, the only one that was actually relevant to what you have been constantly crying about, completed showed your fatuous, brim-filled mind. The ridding of your E3 pass is not "backstabbing," but rather business. Activision is not going to send West and Zampella to represent them at a conference after firing the two. If you even slightly birthed a thought that Analog Hype would continue to let you go to E3 on behalf of the site, you are a complete dumbass. Do not throw an ill-raised baby tantrum because your thought process is fucked up. Here you are calling Krome the “Idiot with no balls,” yet you do not say any of this shit to us directly. Trash talking a site on a N4G blog takes plenty of balls right? Incorrect.
Skipping all the aimless chatter up to the introduction of the Arab Sensation himself, we arrive to another attempt at some middle-school name calling. The little rule that Khalid tried to enact did not fly too high. I honestly do not even know why you brought it up. I guess tossing in some random details here and there makes your post legitimate.
Fast forward again; you bring up the CES situation. If the small number of people reading this wants the complete truth, OG came up with his half of the money. However, he decided not to go. You were never obligated to pay for someone else to go anywhere. Once again, your false-based anger showcases itself again. Do not throw an ill-raised baby tantrum because people could not and would not go to CES with you.
Now you try to call out OG because he likes alcohol, watches football, and does not linger on Skype all day? Yeah. . .Next part.
Krome and Khalid, who you are speaking on, never “slandered” Mike. If someone gets touchy about another person saying petty shit about him, then that said person needs to let his balls drop. What Krome and Khalid were all worked up about was Mike ignoring them. Do I necessarily agree with anything they said? Not at all. Should they have just let Mike be? I believe so. Did Mike care about what they were saying? I’m pretty sure he did not. Why is it that Mike could keep a nonchalant attitude about the whole, yet small, situation, but you and another grown middle-aged man are sweating your balls about it? I wish I knew. Was this another pointless interjection by Baron? Damn right. On to the next one. . .
No one ever called Devin “Arieoele,” which should be spelled “areole.” I believe you just told on yourself there. Also, the “revealing” pictures were just talked about before she even returned. Matter of fact, you were the one constantly begging for the pictures to be sent to you. Congrats on leaving parts out to benefit yourself. Also, she is not going to E3 “over” you. She signed up the same time you signed up. You got dropped from the squad; he didn’t. See the difference?
