Youtube is recommending to me a video called "Fallout 3 Is Garbage And Here's Why." It has over 1.5 million views. It's an hour and a half long. Who the gently caress watches 90 minutes of someone bleating about a game they don't like? And how does it even take that long to point out what you don't like about the game?

This doesn't detract from your overall point about Internet people and their opinions, but I know offhand that particular video is by fellow goon Hbomberguy. Its a pretty detailed critique of the game's flaws made from the perspective of a fallout fan who wanted to like it. People watch it because he's very funny.

Edit: in fact, give it a few minutes. You might actually enjoy it.

I'm enjoying Lindsey's take on the Transformers franchise - an 8-ish part video essay called The Whole Plate as a reference to a particularly stupid line in one of the movies. The third part is interesting "Why is it so hard to remember what happened in these movies?" She posits that it's because Bay gives every aspect of every frame the maximum amount of attention it could get, so the brain gets overloaded and cannot decide what's important information so discards the entire thing.

That's because Brad Jones churns out content at an admirable but crazy pace. Lindsay takes more time.

Brows Held High is legit though and Lupa/Phelan are weirdly endearing even if their content isn't always on point. I also like Anime Abandon because it looks at all the garbage poo poo I saw in VHS stores growing up and that's good for a cheap laugh.

Every single other one? Yeah, nah.

And yet, somehow, nostalgia critic has the most subdued of any of those expressions. He gets a pass just because his critiques aren't actually that bad.

Anytime I want to see a little youtube footage of a game before I buy it I have to scroll through pages of that face, screaming nerds, and hour long monologues on why gun a is better than gun b from 17.5m to 18.2m.
