I know, shameless promotion on my part but hey it’s 100% true. I wrote a review about GameCrush and what do you know I get a response from Brent Bucci of theMIX agency asking I make some minor corrections and offering to do an interview! (Honestly, I don’t think it was necessary but I’ll do it anyways.)
Anyways, from what I can tell Brent Bucci is a PR Representative with theMIX Agency.
Now, who’s theMIX agency and what do they have to do with GameCrush? Not entirely sure. (Mr. Bucci did confirm GameCrush is a client of The Mix Agency.) If you check out their website you’ll notice they say:
“Based in San Francisco, CA, theMIX agency is a full-service communications boutique that executes catalytic solutions for social media, technology and digital entertainment start-ups. Whether you’re in stealth mode and preparing for launch, or picking up traction and ready to blow past the competition, theMIX agency’s team of new media leaders can partner with you to generate a potent messaging constellation.” – theMix Agency
And at the same time theMIX agency claims GameCrush as a client. That said, I’m going to just guess they’re the Press Relations (You know PR Firm?) for GameCrush. (Yep, Brent confirmed that theMIX agency is the agency of record for GameCrush)
So here’s what Mr. Bucci had to say,
Hi Eddie,
This is Brent from GameCrush.com with some article corrections for your article:
“GameCrush – Should you PlayDate or Play a Date?” at (link removed)
Currently, GameCrush charges 4.00 per each 10 minute game on GameCrush.com; the site is till in private Beta, although we just opened up the VIP entrance for new user registration at [approved link] (link removed)
GameCrush girls are also not “professionals”, and are simply regular girl gamers. If you would be interested in posting an interview, I’d be happy to schedule a time for you to speak with several of the playdates on our site.
Feel free to shoot me a call or email, and we can set something up.
Best,
Brent
Nice letter right? And an offer for an interview? Hmm. Might have to take them up on that.
But there is just one thing that kinda chapped me the wrong way. See, not only did I get the invitation and a nice correction request, but I also got a Spam Comment advertising their Beta Program. That was so not cool!
Really? I mean didn’t GameCrush get enough publicity and linkage? Go check, I linked several times back to GameCrush.com in the post. I really don’t see the reason for adding comment spam. Matter of fact, it makes me wonder if you’re not going to blitz my bloroll or friends with spam. All of this making me regret thinking that writing a review would be a good thing.
So here’s what I ask. Please fell free to leave comments and even link GameCrush or The Mix Agency as your website as requested. But please don’t leave full blown spam ads on Brigwyn’s Corner or any related, linked site you find here. Deal? Coolness!
Update N0te: I got an email from Brent Bucci of theMix Agency apologizing for the the comment I had recieved. As you can see in the post about it it seems to have been a complete misunderstanding. Though my snark seemed justified at the time, it now seems to have maybe been misplaced.
Eddie “Brigwyn” Carrington is often known as being that crazy dwarf on Twitter.
He's also a blogger, podcaster (Hosts Brigwyn's Corner, Co-host of Everything Blah! and of course Redneck Geek and Cajun Gamer with his good friend Andy "Daewin" Dino. 
That was the PR Co’s job to reach out make a “correction”. Good for them. I say go on and do an interview. Plus play a few games on your own and meet some more people and see what they have to say.
Its an interesting concept and I have an idea of who may subscribe for this service but hey, whatever floats there boat.
You spelled Brent Bucci’s name wrong twice in this article (even though you linked to his linkedin). Ironically, he will probably have to write you to correct it.
