Good god, why is hbomb such a magnet for gross possessive, clingy men? Landis is basically following the same pattern as Davis Auruni, for gently caress's sake. It's no surprise they're both sex monsters.

i don't think Lindsay gave all that much warning at all about dropping Twitter, nothing seemed massively out the oridinary. Like there's some things that could be speculated on but I wouldn't exactly like to?

Good to see Joe making that Star Wars December CP/M, go get it and make all the vids possible. Why not make a video that's "Top 10 things that I got WRONG that WERE WRONG about The Last Jedi". Steady chasing the paper, he might be smarter than y'all think. Like obviously he goes for the mainstream and gets a big touch on them even if he doesn't all the way know it.

(Like I'd never ever watch him because he's not my thing but he knows where the business lies when he's not being REALLY SUPER EMOTIONAL COMMANDER CONTENT or whatever he is)

And jeez, me and Hbomb might have some beef that I'm not really sure is squashed but at least I'm not Max "Jee how can I top my dad who was like LOL I DROPPED A CHOPPER ON YOU LMAO SORRY BITCH" Landis.

I thought Aurini was couldn't-get-any-sex monster and that was the root of his issues? :v:

But seriously, if Davis Aruini was a rapist I would not be surprised in the slightest.

I've actually thought this about Joe for a long time. The way he presents himself, his persona/image, those he puts on camera with him and how he interacts with them, the presentation of his show, the way he's developed and branded his fan community, the way he balances the "fan outrage," with pretty milquetoast review scores, the specific content he covers, its always seemed really calculated to me. Not that his reactions and opinions are inauthentic, but that he is playing them up in a larger-than-life way while also integrating them with an overall delivery that is mainstream friendly and won't alienate people even if he takes a controversial stance like "Man of Steel was a great movie," or "Total War Rome was a mess that spits on the franchise (but still gets 6/10)."

It's quite brilliant if its even half-intentional, and considering it's gotten him to the point a Battlefront 2 Dev considers it a forum worth going on to try and spin their narrative, it's working better than a lot of his peers in the VideoGame Punditry ratrace.

There's a Toronto Star (?) article from before he became "famous" about assault charges filed by his ex-girlfriend being dropped because he convinced the judge she was unreliable because of a diagnosis of mental illness.

If he's this creepy and terrible to some dude because he didn't praise him back in a couple of hours imagine how creepy and scary has he been to all the ladies he's wanted to gently caress. I've seen a lot of "Nooo whaaat the insanely cool, trustworthy and talented Max Landis?" and I'm really confused because all I knew about him was that he is that really entitled nepotism baby who made me really uncomfortable in the BOTW episodes he was in. Have I missed what he has done or said to be revered as a cool, woke dude?

I just figured he was just a dickhead that overreacted to things, not that he was a creep whose treatment of women was being covered up by his dad.

Finding out Jontron was a Neonazi was a pretty painful experience for me and I have been both unwilling and unable to watch any of his material since. On the other hand I was able to come to peace with the shittiness and still watch the work of quite a few of my favorite pro-wrestlers, such as wife beater Randy Savage, family murderer Chris Benoit, and xeno/homophobic libertarian dickhead AJ Styles. On the third hand, I haven't watched a new Mel Gibson product since his anti-Semitic rant, but do occasionally go back a watch his old films that I already own.

I'm not sure I have a point here, other than every time I find a person to be a lovely person I have to deal with it case by case, and I think most people are like that. I'm just glad I've never fallen into the denial trap. You're right that too many people allow themselves to do that.

I have been meaning to check out Orochi 3. I started One Piece Pirate Warriors 3 a week or so ago, but I only played it for an hour and haven't played it since. Orochi 3 I thought was interesting because it added in characters from Bladestorm and Legends of Troy, along with characters from Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive (I know All-Stars does that too, but I heard it wasn't that good.) While I don't know how it's executed, it sounded like you could team up Zhuge Liang with Joan of Arc and basically make a Musou version of Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.

I’m a fan of these kinds of games and Orochi 3 has to be one of the best. It was already good, but then they released the Ultimate version with an entire expansion pack’s worth of extra content. You should definitely pick it up.
