This silly fucker saw his game was still labelled as "Early Access" an hour after its full release on Steam and decided that tweeting "I am going to kill gabe newell. He is going to die." was the best solution. Obviously it was just top bantz so he deleted it.

Steam pulled the game immediately and this guy is now fucked, along with his wee company, which he "resigned" from straight away. His continuing tweets show a delightful lack of self-awareness:

So I think I've established that he is a bit of a tumpshie-heid. Here's a tweet from his ex-business partner:
Quotewatching my wife cry over this is killing me. For once in my life, i dont have a clue how to fix something. I have to figure this out.

Twitter, ladies and gentlemen.



Shoulders?-Stomach!

Twitter is really just an experiment to see how society would be run if everyone just said what they thought/immediately vocalised their kneejerk reactions to everything.

Rape threats, death threats, and conversely the ridiculous conceited exaggeration of innocent comments. Surely we now have enough evidence to support closing it down for good.

Horrible bastard shite for cunts.


All tools are ruined by their users. Murderous, schizophrenic truck divers: hammers. Anonymous fuckheads: Twitter. Me: A really good boning knife, perforating Sainsbury's meals for one.
