| 1 | * His article about the portrayal of women in video games. He could have easily made sexist jokes and get away with it because he's done it before. But he didn't. What he did instead was encourage women in the game industry to create kickass games that would create new standards and ended it with the line "What's wrong? Afraid of making money?". It's likely even the Maddox haters could get behind that. |
| 2 | * What did Maddox do when he found out that the United Arab Emirates had {{banned|InChina}} [[http://thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=apple_store_ban his website]]? He personally flew to UsefulNotes/{{Dubai}} to verify that his site is indeed banned, and then left printouts of his home page throughout the city and made a GagPenis out of the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest skyscraper. |
| 3 | --> So yes, essentially I flew 7804 miles (12,560 km) to another country just to litter. I have mastered all things petty. Game over. |
| 4 | * His response to [=SOPA=]. When the Internet was in the throes of its anti-[=SOPA=] furor, he took a different turn and pointed out that as long as the guys who legislated that bill were in charge, they'd just try again and again until it passed. He also generated a ''massive'' list of companies that supported it and urged a prolonged boycott. When he received a reply from Dell that their accusation of supporting SOPA was unfounded, he reminded his readers to boycott responsibly. |
| 5 | * Upon the tragic passing of Creator/RobinWilliams, Maddox noted that [=ABC=] News was taking aerial coverage of his home while simultaneously reporting that Williams' family wanted privacy. He screencapped the image and tweeted it around, and as a result, [=ABC=] backed off. Bonus points for getting retweeted by his favorite people. |
