Acting like a douche bag lasts as long as the video. Being a douche bag is for life ^^

Actually, the guy has a certain charisma about him and I can understand perfectly well why people like him. Equally so, I can understand why so many people do not like him.

I actually don't have a problem with him, per say. What bothers me is why some people DO like him. This whole troll/asshole worship thing seems to strike some young people the wrong way. I often wonder if his "fans" truly understand that his persona is not that of a fiery,  taunting asshole when he switches off.

I just don't want to see this troll idolatry go too far. Young people should realize that if you treat people that way IRL when you grow up, you better be tough enough to eat bullets and shit lead, cuz if not, you're getting you're ass whopped.

Douchebag doesnt give million dollars to charity.

[kebapmanager]

Has any of you noobs every raised even 500$ for charity , ? yeah I think the same so stfu
But I do agree it shouldnt be feautered since its 4 player ...

[ruksak]

Using charity as a ploy to bolster your popularity is incredibly fucking selfish. Or rather, a symbiotic relationship with personal gain as a driving force.


Only the wise will see this.

He didn't "give" a million dollars to charity.

He used charity as a gimmick to procure viewers and raised money for charity. There is a difference.

"noobs"...that's not a very good start to a post in which you hope to make a point.

I have given much to charity. Thousands over my 40 years of life, of my own money no less. ...and I didn't even do so with effort to make others aware of my generosity at the time, nor did I profit from it indirectly or otherwise.  

I would venture a guess that many others here have as well.

Do not make the mistake of believing everyone here is just like you. Our membership base is global and far more diverse than you seem to realize.

+1 Internet to you sir!

The post is civilized but you can feel the burn. It made me all warm and fuzzy inside.

And of course I fully agree with your statement there and made earlier in this thread.

Yet he has done more than you probably ever will, I dont see you trying to raise money for charity, you say that you have given "thousands" of your own money. I can say the same, but thousand =/= million.

Why thank you.

So long as people do not misunderstand that and think I'm trying to paint his charity drive as a bad thing or a bad choice. I am just refuting the words of others whom seem to think that his self-serving charity 'stunt' relieves him of any accountability for his troll persona.

[Maffia]

Say what you want about Athene but he isn't stupid, he knows how to manipulate and drive people to his streams, either using charity or claiming hes been hacked or whatever, and that's how he makes money.

That said he is about as relevent and exciting as this years elections in Papua New Guinea as far as I'm concerned.

I may be wrong.....but I would be quite assured that I have given more of my own money to charity than he has. I envy him for what seems a wonderful "career", if it can be called that. I am sure he is quite happy in life doing what he's doing.

My charity of choice is the Peyton Manning Children's Hospital here in Indianapolis. Nothing, no one, is more deserving of generosity than those sick kids. Rips my fucking heart out to hear of their plight.

ruksak, you may have a point, but you're running against a wall..

Why he's not featured?

Because he is an epic douchbag and all around piece of shit that gets off on exploiting every bug in every game he plays in order to make the sheople think he is awesome.

Ryusei, on 08 November 2012 - 06:49 PM, said:

Because its not a solo kill. Its 4 players, which brings advantages which disqualifies everything they do.

#1: For each additionel player the monster hp only increase by 75% - Resulting in much less hp per player compared to a solo kill
#2: A large portion of extra buffs, monk aura's, barb shouts, big bad woodoo etc etc etc.

Considering the above Athene 25 sec kill is actualy slow, really slow. However his trolling the masses of the clueless youth. Works like a charm for him.

I am glad to report that I have never sat at my PC and watched other people sit at their PC and play games that I could be playing while I sit at my PC.

Some people need to ridicule others over insignificant matters to feel they stand for something.
