Red Letter Media is good. Mike can be a dummy sometimes, but he's more along the lines of someone who doesn't really pay attention to politics, rather than an actively regressive shithead. Video games are fun. Play Breath of the Wild. Jonas Albrecht fucked around with this message at 04:44 on Jul 3, 2017 |

Jonas Albrecht posted:Listening to the first episode of Last Podcast on the Left. It's bad. It's loving actively bad. you can tell they put a lot of effort into researching whatever their topic is and while i appreciate that they are way too high energy and cram in as much improv as they can and most of it isn't funny at all

I feel like videogames are like all forms of entertainment: distractions from the fact we live in an unfeeling universe and one day we'll die. There's plenty of poo poo in life that you can't justify as worth your time. That said, I've found that treating media critically had made me happier. If there isn't something novel about a game, I'm not going to give it hours of my life.

I've tried to listen to like five different episodes of Last Podcast on the Left based on recommendations and always turn it off within ten minutes. It's so bad

Not that this needs responding to, but MovieBob is being a doofus. https://twitter.com/the_moviebob/status/881659737951145985 Which led to this: https://twitter.com/the_moviebob/status/881745428936609792 Which is just such a wonderful illustration on how he doesn't get twitter.

MovieBob is and always has been a giant piece of poo pooquote:So... yes, in the abstract, I "get" the concept of being someone who (correctly or not) feels like the transforming landscape of 21st Century America has left them behind and having a chip on your shoulder about it - even if my suspicion is still that there is a lot less actual "I did everything right and got screwed!" at play than there is "I'm mad because I'm not talented or clever enough to make it in a world that's no longer arranged for someone like me to just coast on perceived labor-force necessity and resent having to adjust." All you poor people just weren't smart enough to make YouTube videos about Mario or whatever

Clipperton posted:MovieBob is and always has been a giant piece of poo poo Oh for sure. FilmsRobert has this incredibly naive notion of crushing the political will of the working class (which he believes is still majority white and right wing) in order to prevent mediocre candidates from winning. His politics are much more infuriating than most liberals.

Moviebob thinks Metroid Other M is a good game and isn't sexist at all. He also believes reading Judy Blume books as a child gave him PUA powers over women. Here's a review of his book: https://web.archive.org/web/2016032...ka-bob-chipman/ quote:In my memories, the Great Console Wars dragged on like my own private Vietnam, and it didn’t help that I was still constantly in trouble at school and in and out of therapy at the time for anger, attention and authority issues

If you scroll down to the following tweets it was less "This guy is fully aware of what CTH and necessarily hates it because of huuuh BernieBroism" and more "He posted an incredibly favourable Wonder Woman review, and got spammed with a lot of suggestions on alternate takes that saw it less favorably, and he picked out the most weirdly named one and told people to gently caress off with it"

His book had a weird kind of marketing that glosses over the personal part and just goes for a breakdown of Super Mario 3's levels. Which was done before and better. By someone who's not only a better writer, but also has talked with those who worked on Nintendo at the time. As for the personal part... I'm sure you can figure out how insufferable it can be!

Moviebob is dumb, but the responses to his tweets from chapo listeners are bad. It's cool as hell to call people in power "neo-phrenologist slugs" but he's just some dip posting on the internet and that makes him, at best, equal to chapo posters, so don't punch down. Also, don't be obsessed, don't mention it very often to your SO, and don't spend more than $5 on the patreon. e: drat those are some bad opinions he's tweeted though...

Yeah I would argue MB's takes are significantly worse than the average lib and deserve mockery That said, yes, most of the mockery is terrible also. The guy who dot-tweeted Felix in an attempt to 'unleash the hounds' or whatever was cringeworthy and MB was right to call it out
