What the gently caress happened to Polygon, I hop onto YouTube to look up the new Monster Factory and their channel is all sub-Cracked clickbait trash like "hey, remember TWIN PEAKS???" and "have you heard about this totally underrated gem called 'Repo: The Genetic Opera'???"

I thought they were supposed to be a video game site, question mark?

there's very little money in specializing as entertainment news. They're still video games mainly but they branch out at times because why not. Pretty much everyone does.

We're living in a clickbait economy, just gotta accept that and figure what is content and what's a paragraph-long opinion turned into a top ten list.

Even though I hardly ever watch them, I appreciate the 60 minutes of X game footage videos. If there's a game I want to see in action before I consider buying it, it's nice to have a source of videos that don't have some two bit Let's Player yammering over.

Their movie abs TV content isn't even very good. It's not particularly insightful and if you were to transcribe it comes off as a high school book report.

They've been putting up essays about different horror movies in the lead up to Halloween, and they all read exactly the like the terrible essays I wrote during high school, that were always left until the night before they were due.

It's kind of nice to know there's somewhere I would have fit in if I hadn't thought better of my journalistic aspirations.

yea they're not my favorite thing but I actually genuinely appreciate videos that are just 'here's the game for a bit, check it out, we're not gonna say a bunch of poo poo, you just look and see if this seems like something you're into'. Like, they've done a few crazy rear end 'HERE'S 2 HOURS STRAIGHT OF (game)' that are just I have no idea who they're for but the occasional 'here's 40ish minutes of a thing you've been thinking sounds neat' has been helpful.

This video was the first thing anyone ever linked to me by these guys and it sold me on them forever. Also I love this topic for introducing me to Adventure Zone. I'm on Episode 8. I think their dad might actually be my favorite.

As much as I love Car Boys and Monster Factory, I do miss the times when they would just gently caress around with random indie games and make goofs without any central gimmick or theme.

Car Boys oscillates between funny and frustrating, both of those because of Nick's inability to control the game properly.

I might seriously buy the game just to see if I'm any better at it. No idea if my laptop can run it though, I never play video games.

Judging by how many buttons it sounds like he has to hit just to change the camera to see a collision I've been giving him a pass on control issues.
