People with no vocal filter telling her they think she's pretty is p much as bad as it gets, really. There is the occasional "you are Quiet so you should also dress like her wink wink" though.



You should be more concerned about random people spoiling MGS5 for you, the person watching the stream, which does happen. Just don't watch the chat in general.

edit:



She does have a chat bot that blacklists people when they say dumb poo poo though so it's not completely unmoderated.

This was also made worse by his TV Tropes page immediately being filled with suicide tropes.

:tvtropes: doesn't exist because it's a site full of delightful, restrained people with a firm grasp on reality and social mores.

Yeah, the thing that bothers me about TV Tropes (or at least, the thing relevant to this thread) is that they more or less treat Let's Players and other real people as characters in works (or worse, works themselves), so whenever they do something nice or something sad happens to them it's listed as a "Heartwarming Moment" or a "Tear Jerker". It's honestly kind of worrying, and doesn't reflect well on the site's community as a whole (check out #1 on this list for more, non-LP examples).

By the way, I checked. Daniel's suicide is indeed on Markiplier's TV Tropes page, listed as "the biggest Tear Jerker of them all":

An excerpt from Tear Jerker/Markiplier posted:

And then there's what happened. [...] here is a short explanation: Due to attempted suicide, Daniel of Cyndago had passed away on September 18th, thus putting a very tragic end to Cyndago, and an End of an Era for Mark's channel.

It just feels wrong to have them shoehorning tropes into something like this.

Okay, so don't kill me before I finish: TvTropes used to be a cool place...

please wait

...at the time of its inception. It was more of a dumb wiki where you could read up on examples of common tropes in media, nothing offensive, just an okay timewaster. Then some obssessive fanbases got in there, with all the weird types that come with them. Then the site became a community, andthey just started using their vocabulary for everything, even when very inappropriate. Cut to today where a suicide is a Tear Jerker and real people are treated as characters.

TVTropes is fine as long as you don't look up anything that is a real-life thing and only stick to examples of the cliches of modern media. I'm glad Troper Tales is gone at the same time as I am saddened by it because boy was there some real gold to be found.

At this point this is gonna turn into the 6th TV Tropes thread, so keep it down a bit (or at least LP-related).

That said, it is kind of funny how the only person to have a "So Bad, It's Horrible" page is DarkSydePhil. Not even on a site infamous for its "positiveness is mandatory" policy can he escape criticism. (And even then, his other pages appear to have been partially compiled by his actual fans, which is kind of baffling.)

No one's accused two people of being a pedophile on the basis of nothing, posted their real name and picture, only for it to turn out one of those two people was literally a sexual abuse victim.

Watch one of the GTA ones and be amazed at Phil's complete reluctance to actually kill enemies and instead just try rushing through everything. Also the bitching about how "random" the game is because all the NPCs and traffic don't follow a set pattern.

The search levels can be really awful but as said before in the first level when he finally hits the enemy and finds out they drop the emerald then fine how are you just meant to know they can also be inside enemies. The next level though the exact same thing happens and he raises the same fuss over it.
Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.

Then again i'd say by that point he's just hating on the game because it makes folks so mad.

Thankfully Sonic Adventure 2 completely fixed the Knuckles levels by having sweet raps play in the background, easing all of the frustration away

SA2's search levels are considerably worse than SA1's, anyway, by virtue of being much larger (seriously Meteor Herd was just ridiculous) and only giving you the radar for one piece at a time. SA1's aren't good, but at least they're smaller areas and let you go for the pieces in any order you feel like, so you can prioritize closer pieces over the one the game arbitrarily decided was first in a list.

I tuned in for a few minutes and it's was honestly pretty boring. Mostly dead air, when the commentary happened it wasn't that entertaining or inspired. There wasn't much appeal other than "actor from the game playing the game". It's possible she has some interesting things to say when her character shows up but I'd wait for someone to just post links to the highlights or make a highlights video, she is not the most engaging LPer.

Granted MGS5 is a loving massive game and pretty much anyone doing a long stream of it would run out of steam and commentary at some point, especially without a co-commentator.

It really depends. Most of my MGS3 stuff goes up untouched, but every so often, Konami realizes I'm putting up MGS3 and claims one or all parts of one of my updates. They're also super dilligent about claiming every Secret Theater video I post.
