heytallman posted:IMO, Rolfe is most interesting when he's talking about films. I like his Monster Madness stuff every October, and he has a couple other videos here and there, like his thoughts on all of the Star Wars films, and some of his favorites, which are good watches (mainly because I'm really big into movies, myself). I started loving movies and cinematography after I started watching Rolfe's Monster Madness videos and his other reviews; he real got me into the whole art of film making instead of just passively watching a movie and that's something that stuck with me and I still love "odd" movies and old movies to this day

It's a shame that the AVGN movie isn't going to be anywhere as good as he's hyped it up after all these years of working on it.

I know it won't be as good as he has hyped it to be but I don't think James Rolfe would let his audience down too much

Just want to take a moment to applaud you guys for not devolving into a poo poo-flinging fest that has become the LP Blasting Zone. Happy to see intelligent conversation about LP can still happen here.

One of my favorite AVGN episodes was where he gave a retrospective on the SwordQuest games for the Atari 2600 and showed the entire history it went through.

Sometimes his stuff has a lot of heart in it. His Castlevania retrospective was somewhat informative and also had a warm and fuzzy feeling overall. I think it was one of the first glimpses into how his creative process was maturing more at the time. He wasn't quite as crude. I watched those videos just a couple weeks ago and they hold up pretty well, unlike a lot of his earlier stuff.

Slowbeef: since you and Diabetus are now RPing terrible video game Kickstarters, can I call your attention to this: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wargirlgames/my-little-dictator-a-battle-visual-novel (Non-pony-related, despite the title) It's one of the most horrific things I've seen and it met its funding goal.

THERE'S MORE!!!It also gives all the characters measurements. Move over Capcom, with your Prin Prin bullshit, here comes My Little Dictator I'm now convinced that Kickstarter in general is a piece of poo poo, considering this raised £8,000 ($13,500 approx.).

The harem anime World War II aspect is bad enough, but the fact that it's flagrantly, unashamedly pro-Nazi raises my eyebrows even more. "The Battle of Czechoslovakia: The day has come to break bonds and reclaim what is ours. For too long, the Czech state has repressed its kin and ignored the plight of the German people. Today, we fight for our freedom." Someone wrote that as a description of a campaign in their anime romance dating game based on World War II where you have to seduce female Hitler.

Patter Song posted:
To be fair, judging by their answer to the "Is this political" question, the only politics going on are the politics of how to woo and seduce anime "girls". Primarily "cute anime girls in uniform", based on the individuals responsible for the Holocaust. Their Response posted:Nope. In no way can this game be considered political. It's set in a fictional universe with fictional characters. Hitora isn't Adolf Hitler, Starin isn't Joseph Stalin. The main drive of the game is for the player to have fun battling, and to see cute girls in uniform and try to woo them. There are one or two silly satirical jokes but the game tends to stay away from satire and political humour generally speaking. $13,500 raised ladies and gents, this is what it takes to be a kickstarter success.

I blame loving Hetalia. Isn't that some stupid rear end harem that anthropomorphizes all the countries in WW2 and makes them anime as gently caress? EDIT: Loosely based?! Stalin's "caricature" is the Engrish way to spell Stalin! TARDISman fucked around with this message at 02:48 on May 13, 2014 |

Sorry, sorry, sorry. I just need to emphasise that this is a thing somebody wrote: quote:Hitora - The leader of Germania. Once an artist, now forced into politics. She is sometimes an arrogant girl, often sweet and sour, but her cuteness shines through. Her dream is to unite all of Europa under one banner, to prevent any countries being divided up over treaties. Based loosely on Adolf Hitler. Somebody looked at Hitler, and thought 'cuteness shines through, is pro european unity'

Princess Sheepy posted:There's nothing odd about that. There are quite a few streaming communities which have multiple streamers that take turns and such. There was one in particular I used to visit called DEEP GAMES which had quite a few and there were open applications to join as a streamer available. The community itself was pretty toxic though, so I'm not sure if they're a good example. There was also a time when nearly everyone streamed Spelunky (the freeware version) and it got to where people in chat would end up groaning about it.

So, you guys remember that little "LP" of Super Mario RPG, that a fellow named "LordoftheJimmy" posted titled Super Mario Guy RPG? Chip and Ironicus did an RP of them as well. Well Chip and Ironicus, LOOK AT WHAT YOU FAILED TO STOP.

But that is what a caricature is, an exaggeration of some characteristics and an oversimplification of others. Propaganda cartoons are in essence, caricatures. Either way, it's a stupid as hell anime thing that was spawned from whatever hole thought Hetalia was a good thing, so whatever.
