That kind of thing wouldn't save face. If you fake being stupid to say stupid things, you're still saying stupid things in the first place. Serious or no, it doesn't matter.

After all, remember he made a video saying that him blaming the game and various things like the controls and stuff is a "recurring joke" from way back and that people wouldn't get it because they're loving mental midgets. At that point, should we just have a thread dedicated to DSP? It just feels like the stuff you can write about this guy is limitless (and not in a good way).

Indeed, hence "trying". v  vIt's just that the comment just put me in mind of a guy I used to know, who insisted he was great at Latin but had the weirdest pronunciation. A DSP of classics, if you will. How do you guys feel about dubstep? If you're at least tolerant of it, this guy Fluxtrance does some really quite good Rollercoaster Tycoon series videos. He spends a lot of time on scenery and the results look fantastic. If you can't stand dubstep, he usually doesn't narrate his videos except at the beginning and end, so nothing much is lost from muting them.

Niggurath posted:Eh, is there really enough content to justify a thread merely for DSP? I know people keep on posting about him, but none of it is necessarily new or anything more than 'Man, DSP really doesn't get games and he's bad'. It's like how there's plenty of footage to point out disliking Pewdiepie but does talking about it really have the much depth? That's pretty much 80% of the posts in this thread.

Not actual optimal numbers sperging) out there for the Anno games?

There's a great video of him filming at a SFIV tournament and the announcer is telling him he's going to be disqualified for filming and holding up the tournament. Phil's reaction is yelling "You want me to run your loving tournament for you!?" http://youtu.be/PXQshxDxZtk

Phil doesn't need his own thread. He does something stupid, we talk angrily about it for a page or two, someone posts a few recommendations, then DSP does something stupid again. It's a neverending journey.

I made the mistake of going back into the Let's Play Subreddit today. One thread is asking for good Camcorder LPs. Another wants to know which video game world you would want to live in. The content there is atrocious and nearly every one of the people there have custom artwork YouTube channel banners and linked social media accounts and...maybe a dozen views on their top video. And they all complain about 3rd party content claims against videos that have no views and will never get views. It's absolutely amazing how nearly each and every one of them believe they WILL be the next big YouTube-famous LPer but can't even correctly troll for viewers on Reddit, a website with such low standards of quality Rage Comics are a popular art medium.

Golden Goat posted:There's an entire thread on what their catchphrases are. I'm never going back there. Why would you ever call it a "catchphrase"? That just sounds like you're trying to force it in order to make it a catch phrase. If I ever had anything like that, I'd call it a "verbal tic" - at least that makes it sound like I'm not trying to use it a lot, it's just become a part of my regular phrasings. Then again... quote:We all know how branding can be very important. What phrases or quotes do you almost always use? Whether it is during intro, outtro or whatever. Yeah, I guess you've got to force it if you're trying to make a name for yourself. Of course, much like Peter "Snakebite" Wright, you end up looking like a complete twat when you're trying to force a gimmick in order to stand out from the crowd.

I've heard as far as subreddits go, /r/letsplay isn't actually soooooo bad - they actually reject scarecams and do require some modicum of quality. Baby steps, I suppose. (But it does have a lot of problems with people going in to promote their poo poo.)

Maybe it's because the worst job I ever had was working in marketing, but the idea of "branding" my LPs instantly drains all the fun from the hobby. The allure of playing video games for money must be really strong.

It was good at first just to get some people checking out our channel (mostly sub for sub) so we could figure out whether we were in the right direction or completely off-course. I think the community really means well but there is a COMPLETE lack of self-awareness. People constantly post threads like "Every video I make is boring, how do I get better?" Additionally the other posters tend to be SO positive it's almost uncomfortable - no one wants to be told they suck so EVERYBODY is great at EVERYTHING! It's the let's play equivalent of "everybody gets a trophy just for participating".

It always seems to make videos look worse than 720, on top of buffering way slower than it used to.

Of course, much like Peter "Snakebite" Wright, you end up looking like a complete twat when you're trying to force a gimmick in order to stand out from the crowd. The best way to make a name for yourself is to just be good at the job. A good catchphrase evolves naturally from your own vocabulary, fanbase, and behavior. Take Nerd Cubed, for example. He opens every video with "Hello prrrrrcrastinator!" and ends with "...and terrah!" However, if you look back through his history of videos and making webcomics, you'll notice that "procrastinator" was something he just called his viewers and eventually came to be the name of his fanbase, and he just used it as his own verbal tic before it became a recognizable part of his content. He didn't intentionally create a catchphrase to be noticed by, but one evolved through his content.

Since we're on the topic, what is everyone's catchphrase here? Mine's "gosh golly gee, I'm so wacky!" and I only do it when I do "stupid" and "random" things in my video. But seriously, I laughed at this one: quote:I just talk like I were talking to a person who was sitting next to me. I'm still trying to figure out whether or not that means they use catchphrases in their everyday conversations.

Normally I'd assume this is a passive-aggressive way of saying "catchphrases are dumb, talk like a god drat normal person", but then I remembered that I've met too many people who talk like that in real life. What "successful" let's players have catchphrases in the first place? Where does the idea of having a stock phrase being am acceptable substitute for a personality come from?
