I think you kind of have to be a PUA/MRA to really strongly detest Fury Road.

That's not true. My dad decided to watch Fury Road with me and while I liked the movie he didn't. He said that he didn't like how ridiculous and over-the-top the movie was and that it reminded him of Waterworld (he never saw the other Mad Max movies). I am 100% certain that he isn't a PUA/MRA.

This is also one of the things that started the bitter rift between CA and Lordkat, because he was going to get an interview with the guy who created Minecraft, but once that "BETRAYAL!!!" video hit the internet; they got leery towards channel awesome people. Thing is Lordkat had left CA by then and was doing his own thing, but was still seen as CA for some reason.

Waterworld is a pretty bad rip-off of Mad Max. It's only notable because of how expensive a rip-off of Mad Max it was.

At least there's actual gameplay footage in this one.

At this rate starcade is going to go on for years, considering his latest episode is based on a game from 1993. He hasn't hit tie fighter yet, and after that there's a half dozen jedi knight and dark forces games plus the deluge of surprisingly decent episode one titles.

What's ironic is that when "Waterworld" was being pitched in the early 80s (right around when "Road Warrior" came out) it was planned to be a relatively low-to-mid-budget movie. Then the script kept changing hands over the course of a decade til Kevin Costner got it, then it became the $170 million+ behometh everyone knows it as.

I like the videos; they've got the type of humor you'd expect from JonTron. I , too, wish they weren't so short.

But the thing that really makes me whaaaaaa... is-- well, did he actually build that entire, complex, functioning set, from scratch-- using materials and monies-- just to film a series of 1 minute non-reviews of 30 year old games no one has ever heard of?

LordKat is a giant piece of poo poo, didn't he have a huge hatful rant about some woman from the escapist who did a few videos with Angry Joe at the time? I think this was before BETRAYER.

I am a bit curious how you insult someone without being derogatory. Surely that's the point of an insult? Otherwise maybe don't insult people?

I'm guessing that he got a nice chunk of change from Disney (owners of Maker studios) to budget for this stuff.




Its a bit funny that Angry Joe, despite his outbursts hurting others, hasn't really been affected. He still gets lots of interviews with devs, and gets flown out to Europe by Paradox and others.

Na, came out about the same week/month as him crying about not getting an interview with Notch

While his rant about Spoony and Angry Joe just proved how terrible a person LK really is to people, I'll say he wasn't wrong about the girl's show on the escapist, it was seriously the worst thing the escapist has ever put out.

Also, I just watched the video of Spoony yelling and the people walking behind him and Joe don't even turn around and look, so it's not like he was that loud.

Speaking of people tangentially effected by Angry Joe, Errant Signal put up a new video on the indie game Sunset. Twice.

The first time he put it up, he included a couple of seconds of a Let's Play of the game by Bro Team Pill, the same assclown who threw a DMCA notice at Angry Joe for associating him with Gamergate. The Sunset video wasn't up a half hour before BTP made a threat of DMCA notices on Twitter, which he claimed afterwards was just a joke, but considering BTP's behavior with Joe, Errant Signal still took down the video and reedited it.

Sometimes the internet feels like one long Tristram Shandy novel.

I've got a book that claims that the script was given to Roger Corman in the 80s. He decided not to produce it - when asked why, he said that it would cost around five million to make, whwich was way too expensive. :ironicat:

I would not think one could file a DMCA for LP footage. If I owned the rights to Sunset and they had actually filed it, I would have filled one against them as well. Only them though.

Your DMCA takedown doesn't actually need to be legitimate for YouTube to go through with it. It's just a lot faster for Joe to recut the video and reupload it than wait on YouTube to process his dispute; and in a situation like this, it's just better PR to not fight it.

You can DMCA for anything because the law as written assumes a copy right violation until proven innocent. You cannot get it dismissed until the actual lawsuit stage because you're assumed to be guilty.

I know. It's just with all the problems with LPs, especially with Nintendo, I would think they wouldn't want to poke the bear, so to speak. The Sunset devs must be indie for them to even think of pulling this off.

The show was pretty horrible, but not because of the host. (There are just very few top X things worth watching) It did kind of feel like pandering by The Escapist though, but what i've seen of her she wasn't the problem with it at all.

I remember being fascinated by the VHS cover of the film when it came out. I was too young to watch it and the only thing "Titus" that I knew about was the TV show with Zack Ward but seeing the dour and muddied face of Hopkins gave me the impression that the movie was likely a weird dark comedy. Glad to see that my uninformed analysis was pretty much spot on to the real thing.
