So, this may be a reach, but I'm watching this semi-obscure 80s exploitation film Ms. 45, and there's a scene where a homeless man finds a severed hand in a rubbish bin.



The resemblence is uncanny...


Is it possible that Doug didn't just put together a "generic homeless" costume, and was in fact inspired by a cult rape-revenge flick?

I missed the discussion a page or so ago, but there's one thing to be annoyed with Brad's content: when he's not being The Snob, he has this annoying habit of laughing at his own jokes, immediately after making it.

Because the same tone-deaf bad taste that made him think that homelessness is funny or entertaining led him to throw a costume together from the back of his father's front-hall closet?

Real homeless people generally wear heavier coats, but a trench coat is a pretty common semi-heavy coat, so if you have one lying around I can see using it.

This thread is slowly turning into a gossip thread when it comes to doug. the guy is bad and got lucky to where he is (the feud with the nerd is why he still exist) but People are stretching thin on insults to the guy when there is ton to insult about. I mean there is that bum in back to the future with a trench coat and winter cap, it a stereotypical bum look. please let keep insulting him for missing the point all the time and very poor writing when it comes to his shows, since that is fact we know.

Sorry for the grammer in that post, and my overall dickness to people in this thread over the year. I made a mistake for defending what is a hate group back in January just to defend a guy I barely watch for being neutral.


but there are far FAR worse internet personalities atm then Doug and it seem strange people are putting in effort to make poo poo up when it's not needed.

It's amazing to me that in the entire process of

1) watching a "cult rape-revenge flick"
2) making the mental connection between it and an internet movie reviewer's skit character
3) that you talk about with people you've never met online
4) hunting down the exact video of this this character appears in
5) screencapping the movie
6) screencapping the video review
7) copy-pasting the images to this post
8) writing this post

your only thought was "Yeah, HE'S the weird one"

I completely acknowledge that there's a certain sense of irony to me making THIS post, but eh

I like the Red Letter Media guys, but they can be very narrow-minded when it comes to reviewing games. I really hated the video they did on Shovel Knight, where all they could talk about was "its good but 's it only good because of nostalgia?" but never said anything about the actual design of the game, or the creative things it does with the established NES tropes, or even how it subverts certain parts of the NES tropes, or how it improves on the failings of NES games. They just couldn't look at it beyond that surface observation of "this is a modern game that uses NES graphics" and it was frustrating to hear them actually give the game a generally positive review but still manage to miss the point of everything that makes it a good game.

I haven't seen that movie since I was 4. I only ever got that movie cause I thought the cover looked cool, because I was 4. I don't even remember anything about the movie except that even as a kid I didn't care about it.

And given how much they talk and bothered to go ask RLM for permission and so on, this is more "Jontron declares Tetris to not be a real videogame since anyone can get into it" level of bad than "That scene on Charlie's Angels where you see two kids button mashing to a Final Fantasy 8 boss battle" level of bad.

Ego Raptor called it a game for girls (and therefore inferior). IDK if Jontron also dissed it.
