I’ve learned so much new shit in the past 3 pages. Wow.
Plenty of posters here that I typically groan when their names pop up, but feel bad for and appreciate their stories.
Evil twin? Crazy Levi throwing Special-K out after physically assaulting someone? Extremely personal bullying memes? Machine scamming? Robin Death threats? Pinside behavior? (I knew some of that but only a little, mainly before my time)
There’s more too, but I can’t keep it all straight. The dude needs a Wiki dedicated to his shit. It would be nice if someone could write a factual, chronological timeline of controversies and drama. I didn’t realize so many people here knew Chris personally. Pinball is so much more personal and tight-knit than I thought, and even then still knew it was really tight!
Personally, only knew that he was banned on Pinside, and that’s pretty difficult to accomplish considering everyone else comes back like a Phoenix. Knew that he’s a douche, and I listened to exactly 10 minutes of one podcast, the entire time which he talked about himself, in the third person, and was rigorously jerking off his ego.
He reminds me of someone back on RGP. Being a good judge of character is important in life, and I’m glad my initial judgements were correct. Being an abrasive douche is one thing, especially as your schtick, but physical and private personal attacks are another and not really forgivable. Most of his listeners are chronic- enablers for a blatant narcissist, that never ends well.
Lastly: announcing/spoiling future projects just for fame and bragging rights is not a talent lol.
