"Tiny Trains"

Man these guys have made what, 2, 3 videos already about that ghost busters everyone's forgotten and gotten over by now? Mike really can't get over that poo poo.
On the other hand, someone obsessively hateful about something can produce some excellent comedy, even many years after it was relevant (see: all plinkett reviews)

The most hosed up problematic thing they've ever done though is Jack's mouse+gamepad combo though.

:shrug: I just converted to PC and I use a mouse + joystick combo. WASD is the inferior option, you can't even control the speed of your movement, it's either on or off.

I was seriously going to joke that "It's as crazy as someone playing a FPS using a mouse and a flight sim joystick" and some how swearing the rudder twist controls give a huge FPS advantage.

I guess I'll have to move on and say "at least he isnt using a mouse + race sim setup using the steering wheel to strafe and the pedals for forward/back"

For what type of game is this superior?

I use a controller for most anything third-person and WASD+mouse for FPS.

It's for FPS, or more specifically, it's for Destiny. There's a lot of vertical movement and platforming BS in that game that requires precision movement, and I don't think I could pull off some of that stuff with a keyboard. I'm sure somebody that's been using KB+M for their whole lives would fare just fine with it, but I've been a console user up until only a few months ago and it's something I don't think I could ever give up. Analog movement and mouse aiming is like the best of both worlds.

All the codes did that, if I recall correctly.

That game was one of the few cool things we got from the prequels.

you are correct. all the codes in that game DID make me shout out Anakin quotes from phantom menace whenever i input them correctly. in fact, this worked on any game i played, and not just star wars. when i input a code incorrectly id say WHAT HAVE I DONE like Anakin in episode 3 and drop to my knees in anguish

Agreed, no one cares about Ghostbusters. Time to move on.

But here's my opinion bitches! I thought it was not bad. Biggest critiques are the whole origin story part was boring since it was just rehashing the first movie. And they should've had at least 1 cute ghostbuster. They should've switched Kristen Wiig's and Cecily Strong's roles. Kristen Wiig was not good. But the movie had some ok laughs and the end was decent.

I'm pretty sure it will be about a lot of different things, as I think they've already expressed most of their thoughts about Ghostbusters 2016 and it's going to be about the greater state of comedy in cinema.

Its really dumb.

I played Quake 3 with a dude that was a hilarious troll in-game.

He shows up to a LAN party hauling his own beat up BarcaLounger, PS2 controller, and a thumb trackball.

He leans back, gets into a position that looks like Al Bundy taking a nap, and placed top 20% every game.

He was my hero.

I don't think I've played an FPS since the STALKER series ended, holy poo poo.
Why are there no good FPS games with like actual cool gunplay? I remember that FEAR game having really good AI and gunplay but FPSs seem to be entirely twitchy console-friendly poo poo now, or horrible half finished early-access open world survival games.

When the female Doctor Who noncontroversy (pissing off all 40 trolls online) happened it was brought up constantly, either as a defense or as ammo by the trolls. People haven't gotten over it at all really. Also Jay's trailer reaction video was amazing and one of the better stech videos they've done.

Yeah and don't forget the Nerd Crew which was spawned from their Rogue One review and fan backlash.

I love RLM because they can tease their fans with fake plinkett reviews and the Nerd Crew and not face any issues, whereas dumbfucks like AngryJoe manage to piss of his fans and make himself look like a dumbass because he can't handle criticism.
