Yesterday my brother dragged me over to his house to play board games with 3 of his friends

We played something called Star Wars: Imperial Assault and got our asses destroyed by the DM/Imperial player

Fun to socialize again though

I caught John wick 2 yesterday, it was very good

I liked the parts where he shot people in the head, and also the times when he shoots other parts of the body
I liked the part where he pets his dog

I was wondering when this news would come to a boiling point.

quote:

Millions of people have watched a Jan. 11 video by YouTube’s biggest star that included two men laughing as they held a banner that read, “Death to all Jews.”

The man behind the video is Felix Kjellberg, a 27-year-old Swede known as “PewDiePie,” who has amassed 53 million subscribers. His success has brought him multimillion-dollar deals from YouTube, which is owned by Alphabet Inc.’s Google, and Walt Disney Co., which owns a firm that runs Kjellberg’s business.

Since August, PewDiePie has posted nine videos that include anti-Semitic jokes or Nazi imagery, according to a review of his channel by The Wall Street Journal.

On Monday after the Journal contacted Disney about the videos, the entertainment giant said it was severing ties with Kjellberg, who as PewDiePie rose to prominence via clips of himself playing videogames or performing skits and making crude jokes. “Although Felix has created a following by being provocative and irreverent, he clearly went too far in this case and the resulting videos are inappropriate,” said a spokeswoman for Maker Studios, the Disney division that was business partners with PewDiePie.

so pewdiepie's past year

- paid people to hold up a sign saying "death to the jews"
- said Hitler did nothing wrong
- claimed he would delete his channel because of a Youtube subscriber bug and then changed his mind and said "uhh lol it was a prank!! pranked!!!"
- fired by disney

as he is kicked out of the chopper and falls to his death, pdp shouts one final "cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc--"

It's not a ghost, but probably a 'living corpse'. The 'living dead' with a hell of a lot of bloodlust...
I figure Walt Disney would be fine with a banner saying "Death to all Jews"

Well I mean I have no delusions that his popularity is gonna dry up or something.

But I did find it interesting this stuff was popping up in videos for over half a year now and nobody reported on it until it finally came to this.

Like I don't think Kotaku reported on any of the specific "Hidden" things but they and other outlets sure as poo poo made multiple articles during that whole third point you mentioned.

EDIT: This made it sound assy like I was making GBS threads on your work so I'm just going to amend that that's cool and the only reason I know of SCUD is because of the assy Saturn game.

I remember playing the SCUD demo for PC. The game was a piece of poo poo but its style was so unique and captivating at the time.

OK I'm playing through Kingdom Hearts for the first time and this game is actually pretty bad, holy poo poo.

Everything is pretty much expected until you hit a boss battle and suddenly it's a damage race between two-hit kill attacks and your idiot teammates cramming potions up your rear end in time.

I'm at the second Ursula battle right now and it's just so, so bad. So bad.

In high school I played a youth Nazi in a community theater run that went a couple of weeks, and it was my first play I ever got paid for, but I had really horrible nightmares and I felt indescribably horrible every single evening as soon as I got into costume. That's my white supremacy story. Thanks for listening.

I have feeling Pewdiepie is only channeling the stupid and crass memetic internet humor in his antics. I don't think he really is an anti-semitic nazi, it's more like OMG SO EDGIE 4 TEH LOLZ!!1 xD

But then again, I try to ignore him as much as possible. He might even be a member of the populist Sweden Democrats for all I know.

We're in an agreement there. The line is just in a different place in the eyes of stupid people.
