I was listening to the Bombcast and  they said this guy did a feature on the switch but he basically copied a neogaf post word for word. 

 

Yup. this is it (the link starts at around 28 seconds):

 

And this is the post:

Well normal rumble is just a motor which spins, creating a vibration. Basically.

 

HD rumble uses linear actuators, similar to apple's "Taptic engine" which is what they use for the Force Touch stuff in the new iPhones and Apple Watch. I BELIEVE that these are different in that they are more like weighted electro magnets, rather than a simple spinning motor. This means you can create a much, much more subtle variety of sensations compared to a rumble motor which is pretty much just a spinning motor - all they can really do is produce differing speeds of vibration.

 

I'm not an expert myself but I'm sure others on here can give you more of a technical explanation of how the actuators actually work.

Can we also stare in awe at the fact that he plagiarized a random GAF poster who said, "I'm not an expert myself," instead of an expert?

How did it even take this long to get busted? It's almost funny to me in that context. He must've felt like a total pimp doing this shit for seemingly years.

He retained the word "extrudes" from the Polygon article that he lifted.

 

Of all the words to NOT change, he chose to keep "extrudes".  He deserves to be shot out of a cannon for that alone!

Can you give me the links to both the article and his video? This is such a mind warp and I wanna see how closely they resemble each other as the latest developments have been amazing.

I mean let's be honest, his critical thinking skills appear to be not that hot, no?

As in the format and layout is copied from a template or actual job description/tasks etc.? 

 

I've never not copied a template in terms of format and layout for my resume.

The template was copied word for word in his Linkedin profile. The right is the template. Notice how there's no change in his profile on the left.

 

It wasn't a layout that he copied; it was a generic template that he copy-pasted and made into his "resume" of his skills and talents.

Lol...I somehow didn't read it that way at first for whatever reason. The level of absurdity is a full-on 11/10.

This could get even more hilarious is if parts of the apology video were plagiarized.

Seth Macy's review, July 12
http://www.ign.com/articles/2018/07/12/octopath-traveler-review

Octopath Traveler is a JRPG dream come true. Both its battle system and aesthetic pay loving tribute to the Super NES era while moving the formula forward in exciting and novel ways. This isn’t merely a modern retread of past classics, but a phenomenal homage with genuinely fresh ideas in a fantastically charming wrapper of old-school meets new. While the eight different character stories could’ve used a little more connection between them, I’m looking forward to going back to complete them all, explore the many side areas, battle optional bosses, and unlock the final job classes.

Philip's Op-ed, July 17
http://www.ign.com/articles/2018/07...-out-about-what-makes-their-game-so-appealing

While Octopath Travelers' aesthetics pay a loving tribute to the SNES era, its gameplay mechanics shouldn't be overlooked either. It's no retread of past classics either. Instead, it delivers a host of genuinely fresh ideas that come all bunched together in a fantastically charming mixture of old-school meets new. Players can use special character traits from each of the eight characters within the game to interact with the world in unique ways. For instance, Therion the Theif can steal from valuable items from NPC's all over the game world, while Primrose the dancer can allure townsfolk and later use them as a summon in battle.

About the first day or two I genuinely felt bad for the guy when it was all about the Dead Cells review. Post “apology” and the fallout...I have zero feel bads. 

[Guest]

I’m decidedly in the “not even mad” camp. I’m impressed by his dedication to his craft.

This story has been truly amazing to follow. The schadenfreude of watching him go down, the uneasy shame of enjoying an internet pile-on, the redemption of that shame when more and more plagiarism is discovered... It's incredible. That linkedin resume is the icing on the cake.

So much has been uncovered, part of me is like "no... there is just no way this can be real".  At any moment now, Filip is going to post a video saying "Years ago I decided to do a social experiment starting with the tweet about plagiarism. I wanted to see how far I could go in this industry just copying/pasting things. Things spiraled out of control as I gained a following and got hired by IGN. I'm extremely sorry for all the trouble I've caused."  

 

Now you all saw me post this. If in a few days he gains wind of this post and comes out with this excuse we got him.

 

[TheLeon]

In 8th grade I plagiarized a paper about plagiarism. I didn’t realize I could make a career out of it.
