Forums - Sales - Iiiiiiiiits Pach Attack: Michael Pachter's new show

Thank you escapist for providing me with some morning giggles

http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/97718-Michael-Pachter-Gets-Own-Show

Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter has been given his own his own show on GameTrailers.

Michael Pachter's name turns up a lot, and he always seems to be available to give a comment or prediction on some gaming trend or other, but thanks to GameTrailers, we get to cut out the middleman and hear the man speak for himself.

The video segment has the less-than-impressive title of 'Pach Attack', but while the first thirty seconds or so are pretty cringe worthy, Pachter himself seems pretty comfortable in front of the camera. What he's saying isn't going to come as much of surprise to most gamers, but this could wind up being a pretty interesting little segment.

It also means that we'll have video evidence when he gets something particularly, egregiously, wrong and if there's one thing that gamers really like, it's schadenfreude.

Well this could be interesting... as the article says we'll have video proof when he gets things horribly, horribly wrong but for it changing anything not really.

FOX should forget about trying to sign up Conan O'Brien for a late night talk show. This guy is much funnier.

The music gamer and casual gamer have abandoned the industry...

That stuff is priceless.

I do like that he admitted to being wrong about something, humility is good, but he ends with a completely ignorant statement. I'm using a TV right now, hooked to a PC, to watch that video and type this message. Maybe the average Joe hasn't figured it out, but the old PC that's still good as a media server can hook up to basically any HDTV for $30 (if it needs a video card with the right output formats) or less (if you need a cable). It also plays games, and it's really easy to switch to other systems since the TV changes automatically when one is turned on. These things only matter on the consoles because they don't realize how easy it is to hook a PC to a TV.
