Mr. Fowl posted:That's some hardcore tetris if she lost an arm. Nah. She only does the labor of a farmer half her age these days. You watch a one armed woman nearing 60 stack bales of hay or drive a tractor. Then you tell me how hard your job is. Besides. She was better at Mario Picross than Tetris at her prime.

It's basically splitting hairs to keep your clubhouse free of undesirables, because you've built your identity around being A Gamer and if that comes to mean people who play "casual" games then you don't have an intact sense of self and/or exclusive clubhouse anymore.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awg1b_g_A70 I don't like when Mike J reviews a product that is clearly different from the one the infomercial is about, even mentioning that it is a different model but treating them the same.

FirstAidKite posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awg1b_g_A70 Yeah, my mom has one of the smaller versions of the perfect slicer (or some other model that looks identical, it has the hole in the middle and is metal) and it's really good at coring apples. The infomercial, as all infomercials, makes doing it the normal way seem far more arduous than it really is, but the slicer thing is pretty drat handy. That plastic knockoff he got sure is a piece of poo poo, though.

It's more like JonTron tries to tell people he's not a gator while agreeing with all their points, it's the same with The Cynical Biscuit Man except JonTron has a personal vendetta against Zoe Quinn for some reason.

I watched one of Total Biscuit's Mad Max videos, and it was really cute watching him try to squirm around and not offend his main audience when he mentioned it was kind of disappointing given Fury Road that there weren't any good female characters in the game.

I understand he specializes in the technical side of things but there's a point where it gets a bit silly.

Given the WB's track record with PC ports, Mad Max actually having a fairly decent port is worth mentioning. Almost everyone was expecting another Arkham Knight.Jsor posted:I watched one of Total Biscuit's Mad Max videos, and it was really cute watching him try to squirm around and not offend his main audience when he mentioned it was kind of disappointing given Fury Road that there weren't any good female characters in the game.

Don't get me wrong, it's worth praising a solid port job, but it doesn't warrant a "THE VIDEO GAME REVIEW INDUSTRY IS CORRUPT WHAT'S WITH ALL THE BAD REVIEWS FOR THIS GAME WHEN IT RUNS GREAT!" Functioning on a technical level isn't the only aspect that factors into the quality of a game, there's also things like the game actually being fun to play

Oh that's what he was banging on about, yeah that's dumb. A better point would be that the industry is bad and corrupt because they gave Arkham Knight a pass on being terrible.

Mad Max is the safest, most cookie cutter video game you can possibly make in 2015. A staggering number of gamers are enthusiastically okay with games being safe and cookie cutter.

I can find you something more cookie cutter and safe, I forgot what it was but it was a FPS that is semi-futuristic clone of call of duty with the trailer having radioactive by imagine dragon. it came off like a stock image to play for a tv show. it was posted in the games chat thread last month, that all I know.

Pretty sure it's actually due to copyright law. If my videos ever got blocked somewhere on account of having a song, it was Germany. Not sure what specifically about German copyright law causes this, but that's what it's about.

I haven't had many videos outright blocked, but for some reason, the few that I've had messages about..were blocked in Italy. I guess Italy doesn't like the conundrum that is Tilda Swinton and David Bowie existing. I've never had one blocked in Germany yet, except for one that was blocked everywhere in the world, but my videos don't tend to use that much music.

He made one focused on the technical specs, but he made another one trying to analyze why critics and consumers were so split on the game's rating. He was pretty even handed, IMO, essentially saying neither side is wrong, but it highlights how critics aren't necessarily looking for the same things as a consumer in a game (and how that's okay). His conclusions more or less were that the game was derivative and filled with busywork, and had no story to speak of, but it also hits every "sandbox game" button in a way that would understandably appeal to fans of the genre.

PS2 and the OG Xbox had like one period in specific where a ton of game names all blended together in a sci-fi slurry.

Goons misrepresenting or lying about what TB says happens way, way too much. I mean it's not isolated to just him, it seems to happen to anyone semi-famous but it's so dumb when someone can easily call it out and goons in particular love to do it about TB just because of a silly post he stated he really regrets that was 9? years ago. Even in this thread we have an example with it happening multiple times on Doug or Jontron. watho posted:It's more like JonTron tries to tell people he's not a gator while agreeing with all their points, it's the same with The Cynical Biscuit Man except JonTron has a personal vendetta against Zoe Quinn for some reason. Like this statement for example. Vendetta against Zoe Quinn? When he was asked about her, all he said was that his experience with her at the Game Jam thing was unpleasant and that's all he would say about it.
