About Me
I suppose since one of my stories has been promoted, I'm on the spot to get off my lazy ass and describe myself. I'm a 3D modeler working on Flight Simulators by day, a doodlin nerd by night. I try to remain without system biases but let's face it, no one can do that. I do want to apologize for some of my terrible grammar. I'm hoping to correct this issue as time goes on. I want to get better.

As to which games games I'm into, which ones am I not into is a more apt question. I'm a collector with a fairly massive collection. And, maybe as time rolls on, I'll fill more of this out.

What happened to the Serial Suer? And why can't DToid talk?
sheppy | 8:36 PM on 01.27.2010 15 comments



Remember Erik Estavillo? Perhaps his website... http://estavideo.bravehost.com/index.html...

Not ringing any bells? Here's a few. He's suing Sony for banning him from Resistance. He's suing Microsoft for RROD. He's suing Nintendo for killing homebrew channel and forcing him to buy SMG if he wants a special MarioKart character. He's suing Blizzard because apparently you can't play WoW without a subscription.... and now he's suing your favorite gaming community sites.

Once the law dawgs are unleashed, most websites immediately shut up and let the lawyers crush whoever. This is why many sites, including Destructoid, Joystiq, Kotaku, GayGamer, and even DepecheMode.com can't talk about him right now. I, however, have no attachments to DToid aside from it being a cool site what post my blog and doesn't afraid of anything.

As such, I want to say... see him in the news? Ignore him. See him in an interview? Ignore it. See him trying to use his celebrity status to do anything to move his site beyond Bravehost? Frown upon it. In fact, any communities that now interview this asshat, express your displeasure. He is a plague and an attention whore. Don't give him attention and let us all root for the many websites now under his ignorant self-entitled crusade.

Holy shit! I knew that guy was an attention-whore but he is squeezing everything he can out of his situation. His website induces levels of facepalming unheard of before! I feel like vomiting now...

How about we set up a fund and let Sterling loose on him?? Give this douche something really to cry about haha!

Well the funny thing is many of the websites he's suing, he was using his semi celebrity status to try and secure blogging positions including the recently sued Sarcastic Gamer and the immune from lawsuit Gamepolitics.

Anything Sterling would do to him would make it trouble for Neiro. In fact, this may even cause them trouble so should Neiro wish it, I fully offer to kill this blog.

That's a shame and pretty disgusting.

Ugh I need to stop reading his site but it's so bad I can't look away. I mean in his legal advice section he says, "Fact is, in America you can sue anyone or thing for any reason." He goes on to say that his reader can sue Microsoft because people online use hacked controllers on CoD and Halo. And poor Felicia Day, though he is a lot more demeaning to the other women. Fucker needs to be knocked upside his head.

Actually, he didn't sue us. Mostly because we were one of the few web sites who just didn't give him any attention.

The weird thing is, Estavillo sued the old site I worked for two years ago. It makes me feel sad that he did that, actually. :(

I had no idea who this guy was before reading your blog, so did this have the reverse effect?

People that file frivolous lawsuits get into some kind of trouble, I'm sure of it. Good ol' JT got disbarred for it, remember?

Personally, I haven't posted about the guy because I don't want to give him any attention, not because of fear of lawsuit.

I think he even offered to write for us about a month ago. Don't know what happened with that...

Heard and interview with this guy a while back. He.....sounds like the type of person who would be okay with the actions he has taken. It was sad.

So he goes around suing game companies and websites? Does anyone else think he needs a talk with Jack Thompson? Which is recorded and put online for future reference?

This kid is in serious need for attention. I don't see him stopping soon. He might try to sue Destructoid at one point, if he's sued Sarcastic Gamer as one of the commenters said. I think it's only a matter of time before we see him take on Penny Arcade and Ctrl+Alt+Delete, possibly for a comic which mocks him.
