ScrewAttack-

Craig's statement on the podcast was insulting to tell the truth. We started ScrewAttack together,
and both brought things to the table. I came in with my gaming collection, and my knowledge
about video games, and Craig brought his knowledge of the Radio industry. In the beginning,
all he was interested in doing was a podcast, and wanted it to be about gaming because of what
I was bringing to the table. A friend of mine created the ScrewAttack webpage that everyone is so
familiar with, and is also designing what ScrewAttack is about to become. We both put a lot of time,
effort and ideas into making the site what it is today. Like Craig stated in the podcast he did go
behind my back and register the company. I had asked him on several occasions to go and get it
registered together. He would always say "No, let's wait" and went ahead an did it anyway, without telling me.

I did give Craig 2 options, either I would be a part of the company
like agreed in the beginning and again at the beginning of the GT contract, or
I would be paid on PERFORMANCE *(not just a raise).
Let me give you an example:
(none of the following is not common knowledge)
ScrewAttack gets paid by views on GT, on the internet it's called CPM (meaning per thousand views).
I wanted to be paid like the Angry Video Game Nerd. He is paid a percent of his
performance on GT.
Let me show you the number of views that anyone can look up....

Tom: 16,848,531
Craig: 10,469,958
Nerd: 18,398,149

I am a 1 1/2 million views away from the Nerd, and Craig is 8 million away.
How exactly was I not pulling my own weight? Not only did I perform on GT, I also performed
consistently on ScrewAttack for 2 years. I did not ask for any of the merchandise money, nor any
advertisement money, just the money that I deserved, based on my performance. Think about it...
if I was really getting paid to do nothing, why would I leave?
He says that we were friends, but why did he feel the need to insult me on the podcast?
I didn't go in depth about any of my reasons for leaving in my announcement post, which
Craig was apparently threatened enough by to delete. Insulting me for 25 minutes on a podcast
is not the way to keep a friendship....especially when he keeps letting everyone know
it's business not personal.

I will not respond to any statement that Craig says after this post
about my involvement with ScrewAttack. I will also not insult him
or talk bad about anyone involved. That would not only be unprofessional
but would lower my standards as a person.
What's next? Well, we have a new site we're very excited about, TheGameHeroes.com. The teaser will
be up early next week! Please email me and give me any feedback or if you want to
contribute that would be awesome! Until the site is launched my email
address will be: screwattacktom@gmail.com

Thanks for all your support
Handsome Tom

thanks for letting us know

Nice to see the 2 halves of the story.

It's a shame to see you go but Craig did seem to be taking advantage you

I look forward to your future ventures, and good luck!

Wow, now we have both sides of the story. I said I would never take sides but in all fairness, Craig has been a little bit of a douche. I didn't like how he kept talking about buisness and all the secret stuff I've read recently and basically mouthing you off saying you didn't pull your own weight. I mean, if you're aiming to get this new site up and running with a team smaller than SA how is that not pulling your own weight?

As for you Tom, you have even more respect from me than ever. You have shown honour through your actions, a trait that I would say I strive to hold I'd love to see this new site of yours up and running soon, and I hope I could contribute to it in anyway (Even if it is just being a mod on the forums )

You're neutral stance friend (lol, yeah right...The neutral stance part I mean ) GamerChris. Call me Chris

okay, now both sides have been brought up, i hope this makes things at least a little bit better...
anyway, it seems to me as right now i've got pretty separated from SA, as when this first started it really hit me hard...

well, whatever, i hope you guys to have good luck with the game heroes!
and get healed tom!

EDIT: if you need any help with you're new project just ask(though i still dunno what help can i be of...)

Where's Nurse Joy when you need her?
