So do those idiots make money faking excitement at loving movie trailers on youtube? Is that why there are so many weirdos on the internet who gasp and cry at mediocre commercial media? But if they make money, that means there are a ton of people who willingly sit down and watch strangers fake excitement on the internet,

Yeah, but by now all the layers of irony and meta-analyses have collapsed on one another, and the distinction between consuming media and deriding it no longer exists.

Y'all even notice how Rich Evans, whenever he makes a joke that makes him laugh, he repeats the beginning of the joke under his breath? I noticed it once, and now I realize he's done that almost every time. I first noticed when he came up with "Tranny-Tracker 5000", and could really hear him, because no one laughed.

Truth.

As much as I hate all of you (except for our beloved gamer goonettes), there's something nice about having one place online where you have a greater than 0% chance of seeing a good post. (In before not my posts)

RLM, SA, and Weird Twitter™️ are the only places that have a nerd counterculture and I love my dead gay forums most of all.

Also, people watch people play Minecraft. A game where you toil in the ugly, poorly rendered earth filling out an excel spreadsheet impossibly slowly so that one day, many months from now, you'll get the fleeting half-second rush of seeing a smiley face or a Nintendo character made of cubes.

Nerd culture is a loving toilet.

I've noticed this and he only gets a pass for it because he's Rich Evans. Rich manages to make behavior that would be insufferable in any other kind of nerd at least tolerable, if not endearing.

Point is, Force Awakens was made for the super casual fan and the dumb masses. Think "gamer girl" demographic. Rogue One was made for the real Star Wars fans, and the passion put in to it shows.

I'm not sure why you'd lament of people not obsessed enough with Star Wars in this thread. You might as well start defending the prequels.

Didn't care for this one. Seems like they're now just trying to cash in on the trailer reaction and pop culture videos like evrybody else but make it "so ironic" so they don't piss of their die hard fans. Pretty disappointed actually.
