Jay Dee Eff Turned Away From Canadian Border

According to this Rangercrew thread with no source, Jay Dee Eff was stopped at the Canadian Border and thus can’t make it to some fan expo in Toronto. I have to question the validity of this claim, but if that’s the case, then I guess there’s faith to be had with the people protecting our borders. Tough luck to the folks looking forward to meeting him, but you’re not really missing much.

In Happier News…

Classic Game Room recently reached their original Kickstarter goal of $9,000 to fund the production of a 2-disc “best of” compilation featuring well over 50 CGR reviews to celebrate the show’s 15th anniversary, including a couple exclusive reviews. They’ve even surpassed the first stretch goal of $11,000 and closing in on achieving their second. Your mileage may vary as to whether it’s worth donating to something that compiles material already freely accessible online, but then nobody said anything when James Rolfe did the same thing years ago, albeit through different means.

In any case, I plopped some bucks for the DVD perk, which not only includes the “Best Of” set, but also the Classic Game Room mockumentary from 2007 that I wanted to get my hands on for a while, so done.

Jason Douchebag Frank At It Again…

Not dignifying this with the usual PR tag, especially in regards to the publicity whore known as Jason Douchebag Frank. In any case, here’s a recent (now deleted) Facebook comment he posted regarding Austin St. John and a video showing of one his site admins some self-defense moves.

What Jason Dumb Fuck here is referring to is a ten-second snippet of video in which Austin St. John was showing some self-defense techniques to one of his admins, but my understanding is that the clip was taken out of context to make him look good (‘cuz he’s keepin’ it real, yo), rather than show the whole video about of his detailing on what a dirty fighter would do. You know, someone who just wants to beat people up without any regard for things like honor or the martial arts or anything of the sort.

Here’s the entire video in question, posted last month, in which he demonstrates to one of the admins of his FB fanpage, that, if you have long hair, there are some ways, with proper training, that you can get out of it.

You want to talk about people who haven’t changed, Judas Frank? How about you look in the mirror and see yourself for the egomaniacal douchebag that you truly are, the kind of person who will take anything someone says out of context and twist it so that you can make them look bad, all under the pretense of a true martial artist. Stop using Jesus as a shield to continue your blasphemous actions and be a real man. Move on with your life. Do better things. Be better. Take the high road for once in your life. Clearly, he has. As did your other castmates. Why can’t you?

To quote a character you once played, sir, NOT EVERYTHING IN THE UNIVERSE REVOLVES AROUND YOU.
