* William "Billy D" Usher created the ''One Angry Gamer'' website to fight back against the rampant and blatant left-wing political activism that he felt had taken over the gaming news media. When gaming journalism apparently moved to a more centrist position, he then started grasping at the tiniest of straws in order to stay relevant. He eventually reached the point of ''manufacturing'' controversies and essentially becoming a terrible ''right''-wing activist who wrote primarily angry political rants punctuated with only the occasional decent gaming news article once in a blue moon. |
