Am I the only one that doesn't really like Super Best Friends? There's that one guy who just yells 99% of the time about random poo poo that irritates me for some reason.
I think a good portion of my dislike comes from the music in their intro and then that gets compounded when I hear them speak.

I like Super Best Friends because they're cool dudes and they're really passionate about games.


That said, I only watch them every once in a while. I can't handle that much HYPE on a regular basis.

Its just the talking really loudly over each other, and the one dudes voice (don't know his name) that sounds really annoying.

It comes across as a lot of needless noise that hurts my head. Sorta like DSP's voice.

I literally just clicked the quote button.

Also I've never played Freedom Planet or even watched a video about it, I just think accusing people of not liking something is kind of dumb.

Except, like I just said last time... I never actually said, not even in the quote, that people didn't like it. Why would you quote me if you're going to say something completely unrelated to the quote? Everyone else is talking about Youtube commenters.

I have never played any MGS game other than Ground Zeroes. Are they worth getting the HD collection of on the PS3, or should I hold out hope that some day Konami will stop being Konami and release HD versions of them on the PC that aren't terrible ports?

Since you'd sooner see an MGS3-branded pachinko machine than a proper PC port, my advice would be to play the HD collection. They're great games.

Can't speak firsthand for the Legacy Edition, but I've never heard anything negative about the porting. Since it comes with MGS4 and a download voucher for MGS1, it would be the version I'd recommend.

MGS2 and MGS3 HD are fantastic ports. Didn't play much Peace Walker, so I can't tell how good that one is.

ChaosArgate
Oct 10, 2012

Why does everyone think I'm going to get in trouble?

Peace Walker HD is great and improves the game by taking it off the PSP. Face button aiming is a nice solution to the lack of a second stick, but it gets annoying really quickly.

If you're looking to jump right in and catch up having only played one game, the Legacy Collection is made for you. It has download codes for MGS1 and the VR Missions, the HD Collection (so 2, 3 and Peace Walker and also Metal Gear 1 and 2 as a bonus that's bundled with MGS3) and MGS4, along with the voiced comic versions of MGS1 and 2 in case those games are too dated for you to play. That's every major Metal Gear game except for MGSV, so it's a really nice package for someone to play catch up with.

I fell in love with a Video Nasty
So, I have my son for his summer break, which means I get to see his LP watching preferences up close. His main goto is a dude called The Diamond Minecart aka DanTDM. He's an inoffensive young British guy that mostly faffs around in sandbox games like Minecraft (and recently started fooling around in LEGO World, which honestly looked pretty fun if you like the LEGO style). He uses a facecam and makes zero effort to make it interesting, giving us a view of his staring at his screen. Meh, I suppose he could do worse.

Speaking of, once a little while back he mentioned to me him watching a PewDiePie video, which I wasn't thrilled about. When I had his mother ask about him, he said he only watched him the one time because he was "for little kids". There you go, straight from the horse's mouth: PDP is too immature for 8-year-olds.

wheres the jester, I could do with some pointless nonsense right about now

I am not 100% sure that this is the right place to ask but I don't know where else to.

What has TotalBiscuit done to generate so much hate? Apparently a certain faction of gamers who we are not supposed to talk about jumped to his defense, but I would imagine this happened because of something he's done. Can anyone illuminate me?

Neutral means he's on their side.

This is hard to say, because it makes it sound like bullshit "us vs them" rhetoric, but Gamergate have no legitimate goals, ideas, or leading figures at all. It's all reactionaries stirring disturbed nerds into a frenzy over the dumbest poo poo imaginable.

He's like a Gamergate apologist.
I haven't been paying attention to him for a while but it totally seems like he'd say "it's about ethics in games journalism" unironically.

Which whatever, ethics are good, but I'm so loving done with the unnecessary bitterness that comes as a result of such a needlessly polarising movement.

He was at first, then he buckled down hard and seemed to be heavily on their side, and then after about like three weeks of the poo poo on Twitter he just said "gently caress it" and didn't publically do much to endorse that stuff for obvious reasons. He still rags about sites doing really dumb stuff (see: Polygon's Rockband 4 preview, IGN's Heroes of the Storm reviewer being completely inaccurate, etc.) and just focuses on the videos + podcast he does.

There was also that post he made here on SA a few years ago he openly says is fine to be mocked over since he was an idiot for posting it.

Oh and that he also dislikes some games nerds like a lot, so that's also a reason I guess.

I can't tell if TB is actually pro/anti-anything or if he's just contrarian. At one point he started making GBS threads on an article where the dude who made Five Nights at Freddy's donated $250000 to a children's hospital.

Like, he was actually against the guy donating a bunch of his money to a children's hospital. Captain Planet had more sensible villains.

the problem is that some people use charity as a crutch to tell people how awesome and good they are when they continue to do bad things

"i can't be a horrible person, see? i donate to charity!!!"

i don't know much about the five nights at freddies guy, but i can't actually imagine he's a horrible dude, just someone cashing in at the right time on an unexpected success
