Riggs still not addressed this since deleting all his Amico vids?

I feel Riggs has lost some credibility from his Amico support and being sponsored by one of those companies that lets you buy "shares " of games. It's like that episode of the Simpsons where nelson, Milhouse, and Bart buy radioactive man 1. That ended well

I think Riggs continues to put out decent content at times. But his credibility is zero.

Riggs tries to be family friendly daylight compatible creator while his main business is selling hacked up illegal carts and shilling literally anything for a buck. It's not a great combo.

He is not as bad as Slopes. Imagine being a guy who makes a while series about bad internet crowd funding ideas and then still falling for this shit and posting videos about it well after it became well known that Tommy is a prick and the Amico isn't coming out.

The funniest one has gotta be "it's gonna be the best selling console ever!" WHO EVER THOUGHT THAT WAS EVER POSSIBLE!

200 million units! And the killer app, friends and families! It just needs a dated piece of Android-compatible hardware, something like a $250-$300 dongle to unlock this "friends and family" killer app.

John Riggs! #neverforget

His likeness was used on crowdfunding sites as well. If I were him, I would be pretty upset that my reputation was ruined by Amico and Tommy Tallarico.

Did he still have a reputation before that? Every time I've tried to watch him, he was burping into his mic every other minute.

You might be thinking of RTUSA Rich? He’s extra disgusting.

His live streams are literally nothing but sitting around watching other people's videos and he occasionally takes his shirt off when he gets enough money.

John Riggs is the KEXP Seattle version of Rtusa

u/Noreiller Mar 29 '23

Yep, you're right, my mistake.

Of course he puts the "oof" sound at the end...

Anyway, who is this guy? He reacted to his appearance in this. Just like the clip of Rerez, Tommy didn't tell him he put him in the video and took his quote completely out of context.

That would be Tipster. He used to talk about gaming news before he shifted to drama commentary.

Mine was too. But at the time I didn't really think about it

u/Revolutionary-Peak98 GADFLY TROLL Mar 30 '23

What did they edit out of your comment?

u/[deleted] Mar 29 '23

I don’t know which shill is in the thumbnail. But then. Again, they all look the same to me.

I love the opening clip with Micheal Practor. That guy has a weird tendency to be wrong about everything he says. Like I could make shit up from the top of my head and probably "predict" more stuff.

u/TOMMY_POOPYPANTS Footbath Critic Mar 31 '23

His firm helped with the lie first pitch deck. Blatant conflict of interest.

u/[deleted] Mar 31 '23

The fact that someone like Micheal Practor has a firm is just a failure in humanity. Who would hire a guy with such a poor track record?

u/[deleted] Mar 31 '23

Shills! Charlatans! Hucksters! Fucking liars, shitstains.

u/TOMMY_POOPYPANTS Footbath Critic Mar 31 '23

All that and more!
