   Maddox hits the big time
  So I get my copy of Newsweek today and I'm flipping through it, and... holy crap there's an article on Maddox! It's online too if you want to read it, but apparently, his book Alphabet of Manliess is a massive success.Yet again, confirmation that I picked the wrong genre when starting a website...Btw, if this is a repost, please point me to the original so I can delete it and pretend it never existed.

We see trough your game Mr. Rhino, or should I say... Maddox.The sad thing is that I'll probably buy it out of curiosity, since I can safely assume it won't be in my local library.   ;  Bring on the phallic aggression.   ;  I signed up for his newsletter thing just because I was curious. I think I only receieved one email from it though. I think I will end up buying it out of curiosity as well. It shouldn't be that bad, I mean it on Amazons top 30!   ;  Myopic, quit spamming the boards.:)   ;Quote:Original post by lethalhamsterIt shouldn't be that bad...Yes it should, unless we're thinking of different Maddoxes.CM   ;Tucker Max's book is also a huge success. I see people on the train reading it from time to time, and I want to do some sort of bonding ritual, but I remember what kind of asshole Tucker is and then wonder what kind of people other than myself would find his stories hilarious.   ;  That article linked to on MSN is pathetic. The website is even more pathetic.One hundred and eighty-two words. In its entirity. The page weighs in at over thirty Kb, and displays one hundred and eighty-two words of actual content.I can hardly even find the story through all the advertising and other crap that I have absolutly no interest in reading.Oh, and go Maddox.   ;  I wonder if Maddox will ever be on the Daily Show or Colbert report to promote it.   ;Quote:Original post by Myopic Rhino(...)ref=nosim/gamedev(...)Are you being paid to give the book publicity?
