And now this guy is all over the internet and Penny-Arcade's main website is actually having server issues due to the increased load. Haven't seen that in a while, 'cause, you know, they're used to tens of millions of pageviews an hour or w/e.

I'd bet you almost anything that this guy was wearing a Tapout t-shirt while doing all this.

Right, bro?

What a really. dumb. motherfucker. He's obviously bought into that whole "all publicity is good publicity" thing, but I'm not so sure it's going to work out that well for him. Dude has no idea how gigantic PA's fanbase is.

[Tassager]

He's trending on twitter now.

Hehe.

Yeah. This is not going to be one of his finer moments, that's for sure.

Wow.

That is one of the best things I have read in months.

I think there will be some internet meme coming from this:

Oh man.

Just went to Ocean Marketing's website.

Know the first thing I saw?

Right there on the front page...

In a blue font...

"Your brand is no stronger than your reputation, and will increasingly depend on what comes up when you are Googled." - Allan Jenkins

I laughed so hard I cried.

It's so awesomely hilarious that his Twitter account is "oceanstratagy". I don't know what a stratagy is, but it's clearly not working out for him.

[Rhius]

It gets funnier when you find out that someone else snapped up OceanStrategy... after this idiot had already changed his twitter account name from OceanMarketting to OceanStratagy.

He misspelled his first name, then changed it to another incorrect spelling while the correct spelling was still available.

Sometimes I just want to hug the Internet

Ha! And now Geico's Twitter is having some fun with it.

[Meraxiss]

Gotta love the Internet tough guy who claims 'luv all the puublicitis' and then asks the same angry Internet to stop calling his house and stop posting on his families Facebook

[Meraxiss]

Quick update: guy is crying about the tens of thousands of hate emails daily, got the shit kicked out of him at a bar by a MMA champ () and now is apparently blaming Gabe and going to sue for defemation of character (which I don't think he can do, but ulla would know more about that). All in all highly entertaining tweets.

[ullariend]

My very uninformed opinion is that there would have to be some sort of false factual statement made by the penny arcade guy for there to be defamation (and then a whole bunch of other things that could stop him from having a claim too). I haven't seen anything like that.

Maybe some form of breach of privacy claim for posting the emails, but I doubt that one too.
