I miss Weekend Confirmed :(
That's probably the least surprising part of this story. I still find myself saying, "The only thing I didn't like is that it was almost too good" and that was 10+ years ago on the 1up show. Everyone like a good meme.
I don't think there's anything unfair about the meme-ification of his tweet. It might suck to say something kinda goofy and have people think it's goofy and riff on it, but I think the appropriate reaction to that is to share the laugh and roll with it.
If that was all he was getting, I would get my world's tiniest violin out. Unfortunately, the internet being the internet, among the people poking fun at the tweet were also the charming people of the internet, calling him idiot and sending other insults his way. Of course, this couldn't be the first time he's received this kind of feedback, could it?
What if on Weekend Confirmed, the only approved beverage was Coke Zero?
What if the Bombcast talked about snack food for only five minutes at a time?
What if Gaming Steve had 500-plus episodes?
What if Idle Thumbs featured guest appearances by Sam Raimi?
The answer to all these questions and more is the Player One Podcast.
