Inside a Mind did a video about Ong's Hat, which was basically the first ARG. Its pretty interesting, the guy tried to make it clear that it was all fake, but conspiracy theorists decided it was actually real. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHkn0CWWfBk

Pat Finnerty doing a competition between which Lenny Kravitz song stinks more, Fly Away or American Woman. Lot of gags and a lot more analysis than his Train video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--rBP8_QuwI Had to say that I disagreed with his decision.

The last arg I watched was I am Sophie and that one just completely dropped in quality after the first act, then they completely halted likely because the creator actually got a professional project going on Why does every arg nowadays need their own slender man

I wonder if Doug read that Mel Brooks quote about tragedy being when you cut your finger and comedy when you fall through an open manhole cover and die and thinking he understood it.

I have personal hatred for that version of American Woman; It is mediocre at best and there was a 10 year stretch where I heard it play some place at least once a week.

Lotus Aura posted:New video from James Somerton too, on gay (and other queer) characters in video games: In seriousness, he also seemed to have outright forgotten that best boy Steve Cortez exists, along with your PC's dialogue option during his scenes to outright state that they're into men, which is kind of a massive oversight when discussing queer content in the Mass Effect series. Also neglects Jade Empire entirely, and basically seems overharsh in reducing Bioware's frankly excellent and unmatched ratio of queer representation to just them making sexy bi ladies for the dudebros. (which is not me saying that Bioware doesn't have huge problems here as well) Not a bad video otherwise but like...these sorts of biases make it seem less like he gleaned his thesis from close study of these examples and more like he had a thesis in mind and set out to cherry-pick examples to support it. Like I'm frankly confused about why queer romances being optional in games is not good representation, but the optional queer romance in Hades is still good representation.

BrianWilly posted:Like I'm frankly confused about why queer romances being optional in games is not good representation, but the optional queer romance in Hades is still good representation. my understanding is that his argument is "queer relationships that are so secondary that they can be completely missed/ignored are bad, but in hades to get the "true" ending you have to go far enough into Thanato's route to at least turn him down which is good. I'm not sure I agree with him, but I think the argument is more "to truly beat the game you have to at least engage with this gay relationship is better than gay relationships that dudebros never even remotely experience because they never come close to starting the event for it"

Some content creator with 900 subs made a 3 hour Legacy of Kain retrospective of the entire series and it's really good. Only found it because of the algorithm doing its usual thing, give it a watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ysxs_oErmWo

Welp. For anyone who's interested, the first episode of my Wonder Woman deep dive video is up! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Q0BI69K8Mg An hour and twenty minutes.  It mostly ends up as a rumination on William Marston and the strengths and drawbacks of his...ideas. Includes two sidebars into mythology!

As a 90s Canadian baby, both songs embody my childhood. That said American Woman is basically how Canada saw America  all warhawks and racist ghettos Turns out we were just as bad. I'm aware that its a cover of a 60s song, but this particular outlook aged like milk.

I don't feel like all of the jokes hit, but I totally understand the degree of hatred for those songs that drove him to make a 50 minute video about it.

Oh man, I remember watching that Professor Marston & The Wonder Women movie, which seemed like it was trying to paint him in a positive light but instead made him out to the the world’s neediest and most annoying rope-bottom.

My favorite part, and I mention this at the very tail-end, was how the entire plot of the film is about Marston being the victim of some kind of fundie witch-hunt tribunal led by The Ultimate Karen, and trying to tie this in with scenes of troubles in his home life and also themes in the WW book itself, which of course was being burned in the streets at the time by fanatical mobs offended by his perverted lifestyle. yyyea none of that happened. WW was one of DC's top-sellers at the time. They got sent some mildly disapproving letters and that was it.

Vanderdeath posted:I used to think Jimmy Dore had somewhat decent politics and even had the right idea about policing since he came from a family of cops (unfortunately the same case for me), but dude just loving went...strange after Trump got elected. I think Trump made the dude Dennis Miller himself hard. i remember listning to a Tracey inteview on chapo back when he was ok right before or couple month after the 2016 election and you could kind see how he was gonna crack hard. i think alot of weird types like dore and others like him took the wrong lessons from trump and he broke their brains.

Jamie Faith posted:Performative cruelty was just kinda the norm back then in the reviewerverse. It was somewhat common for people to joke about killing game designers' families because they made a bad game or whatever. People can still be pretty cruel now but we've certainly come a long way since then. alot of it is also them taking bits from james rolfs whole shtick and making it pointlessly edgier.

Kali Muscle, long-time bodybuilding youtuber who I've occasionally posted about ITT because of his numerous and bizarre pivots (mukbangs, supercars, game streaming, pranks, he's done it all) had a heart attack. Fortunately, he's recovering and vlogging about it, but it's definitely the most emotional content he's ever made. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLNz2_YfRF8 I believe that the majority of his money comes from bodybuilding supplements and preworkout. Who knows what will come of that since he'll almost certainly have to stop taking any of that stuff.
