That was actually a reference to someone who did far, far worse things than make a dumb joke on Twitter.

Fired IGN Nintendo editor responds to plagiarism accusation (Update: More examples discovered)

Well as I mentioned I'm not expecting game reviews in a vacuum and I even bring up researching other games within a genre or the reviews/conversations therein. I'll expand on that and say that that also applies to reviews and reactions of games within the same franchise as you've brought up FIFA as an example. I think this is much less ethically dubious as opposed to, in my opinion, watching someone's review on FIFA '19 in order for you to review FIFA '19. I don't think you'd need to be an expert in FIFA to say that it's a big deal that they're getting the Champion's League this year or make a comment about the Ultimate Team feature. Yes it's not plagiarism to the letter, but I find that similar to a food critic eating at a restaurant and then looking at other people's reviews before writing their own. Opinion/takes in practice should be solely the thoughts of the person reviewing them. To go with the food analogy, it's been proven that suggestion can effect how people taste things or remember what something tasted like. What I'm looking for isn't necessarily an authority on the subject, but someone who can realistically get through talking about a given thing in their own words without having some other person influence that opinion.
If I was producing a segment and I knew for instance Filip was holding up his review of Dead Cells because he had to see what other people were saying about the game, then I'd have some serious questions as to what exactly I'm paying him for. Because honestly I could get any yahoo to watch other people's reviews and then piece together something that, while not outright plagiarism, is just an amalgamation of other people's reviews.
Wow, dude just keeps on digging his own grave. Is he really thinking anyone would sympathize with his weakass excuses? Just said you've made mistake and moved on, Christ.
I thought that was a Nick Robinson reference? Especially as he made reference to the person 'doing' shitty things. Colin didn't do any specific big bad things and get outed, he's just always been a right wing arsehole and eventually people got sick of his shit.
Jason was on Colin's show last year, just before the controversy.
Ah, that clearly went over my head then. Glad y'all are ok.
You mentioned interviewing Filip on Splitscreen. Since it sounds like he may not be amenable to that, perhaps we'll hear his perspective from Colin. I'm intrigued.
Just because someone doesn't like someone or something doesn't make it outrage. You're adding more than there is to it simply by calling it that when it isn't even there.
Go ahead and substitute your word of choice then. The point still stands.
Lordy.
No he won't, despite his background in academia. He will laser focus on the "problems with the industry" instead.
Well obviously, because you're just trying hard to get them clicks.
I wish I didn't need to include /s ...
I'm a reporter. Filip Miucin did something wild. He'd be welcome to come on my podcast and answer my questions about it.
Just to clarify, I was paraphrasing James Comey.
I would love for you to have him on the show, i.e., I hope there are tapes.
"How dare people who don't have any connection to me in any way whatsoever be friends/follow each other"
Problem with our society.
Do bad a shit. Get rewarded with attention
He did nothing notable except plagiarize and get fired.

Old enough to have an eight year old child.... So presumably at least late twenties?
Dude, people don't like your guy for a very good reason, examples of why have been listed in previous pages of this thread before he even sent that tweet. If you jump each time someone throws shade his way, you're gonna get tired very fast.
?
It's just bizarre to me why you are so concerned and seemingly hurt by people who you don't know personally's friendships and/or other connections.
Lol, Colin Moriarty, "my guy". Please don't.
As a plagiarism apologist this is by far the worst news to come out of this for me. I had no idea Nick bounced back. X_X
why are you so concerned about how i feel
take your own advice and don't be a hypocrite
I mean, I don't know how much of this is a reward.
Even when you're thrown out of a bar/arena/place of business, they hang your picture up to make sure you don't come back in.
It works to some extent. Look at those people going "Awwww it's ok I forgive you <3". Those twitter harassment is unwarranted especially towards his family members, but this guy did not show a sign of remorse or sincere apology in this video, but rather he tried to shift the blame around like that Fifa review pointed out by Jason. WTF was that?
It's pretty amazing how an incredible fuck up can get someone so much spotlight. Negative or positive, this guys has to love this attention. I'm curious to see where this goes because it seems like at this post we should just look past it.
What could be said on another show that already hasn't been astablished here?

I was really thinking that he was a good guy that fucked up, but after this video he does look like a sociopath.
No seeing it with the FIFA review. I'll bet a lot of FIFA 18 reviews read really similar.
I had not paid this any attention until now. What the fuck. At first I thought a lot of it was coincidence (when you are reviewing a game, you will talk about a lot of similar things, often even in the same order), but once you get to the Joycons part, like holy shit. That's where you know it, it's a word-for-word copy.
Same. I can totally see the Dead Cells, but some of the FIFA quote comparisons seem like kind of a far reach.
Always nice to have a face to associate with a word. That thumbnail is now what I'm always going to think of whenever someone says the word "plagiarism" from now on.
I can see it in the FIFA review. The sentence and paragraph structures are just about exactly the same.
Did you get to the part about the Joycon controllers? I wasn't convinced until then, but that part is basically a full sentence lift as is.
And those people talking about it are doing it for their benefit, not his. That's just cultural opportunism.
Ok I'm not defending him here but some of that is beyond reaching. Saying the game runs at 60fps and listing modes and what they entail is not plagiarism. Unless that writer somehow thinks those are original thoughts and not basic info dumps.
The stuff aboutthe joy cons is damn near a direct copy but everything else is like the most basic shit ever.
I think I kinda expect this to happen. It doesn't seem to be doing him any favors here (by here, I mean "everywhere").
I think it's really unfortunate that Mr. Miucin didn't have someone there to catch him and go "Hey, don't do this shit."
Man... coming from Mr. Stapleton, this feels like it has a lot of weight. Also those CoolCatLily tweets.
I find it really disappointing, although sadly not surprising, that there's apparently harassment being flung at him and his family. I wish that wasn't just "Oh yeah... that's how the internet is."
