This was posted over on NeoGaf

Long Story Short. Marcus Beer of Annoyed Gamer had a rant this morning on his GT Show about the "Hip Hop Gamer" being appointed Video Game Ambassador for the "Entertainment Consumers Association".

Rant at about 6:35
http://www.gametrailers.com/videos/v...o-play--again-

Main Gripes with him:

- Hip Hop Gamer not adhering to journalistic standards despite claims of being the #1 games journalist. Lowering the bar for his field.

- Calling people 'faggots' online and walking around everywhere with a WWF Championship Belt around his shoulder

- Grabbing a dozen gift bags at Video Game PR Events

Twitter Feud Below:

My view: Marcus is right. This is the wrong guy to represent the gaming industry, in the role as ambassador. The appointment is a joke, and it didn't take long for someone to find his comments calling people 'faggots' online

I'd rather Marcus a hundred times over before HHG.

This. Marcus is way more enjoyable and knowledgeable. i'm a little thrown that HHG got such a position.

HHG is total clownshoes, but Marcus is the little bitch who doesn't want to review Kamiya's games anymore after Kamiya put Kotaku in their place, so I guess I'm Team HHG!

Actually, I'm Team Don't Give A Shit.
