    A bit bored, and this one passed me by. I'm not a big fan of Polygon, I like Griffin's youtube work with Monster Factory and so on, even if they're becoming more forced these days, but hey, we're not here to talk about that.

    One of their staff writers, one Nick Robinson was called out on twitter for some asinine nintendo game review about his salacious ways with the ladies in the industry. After a deluge of people chimed in with their own accounts it looked increasingly likely that he'd been dming and pming his way through all the fems on the off chance of a bit of sneaky tit.

    Here's the calling out


    Then his boss looked into it and fired him.

    So there you go, what a fun time for everyone. Did he do it? Probably after seeing the outcome. Does anyone care? Probably not, but it's a slow day.

    I deleted my Polygon bookmark donkeys ago, the snazzy website they launched with couldn't hide the crapiness of their writing, so I don't know or care about anyone at Polygon.

    Nicky Needs-Nudes...

    Nick... Robs ... I'm done.

    My general approach to Polygon is to pretend it doesn't exist. This thread hasn't really changed my mind.

    Gies is a worthless hack, Polygon can only improve with him gone.
    It's still a shit site, probably worse than Kotaku, but it will continue to be shit regardless of Gies leaving, who I agree is a proper hack. Still love his Sim City tweet.

    Direct messaging I think.

    Was this Gies fella the Sonic reviewer? Did he leave over abuse over his Sonic review?

    Just seems weird I'd never heard of him until yesterday and now he's gone.
