On the one hand, this does let Tuvok shine (amusingly an alien who does not show emotion) so that's good because Tim Russ is great but it also let Neelix just Neelix his way all over scenes he was in. That's bad. And while I am able to not think too much about how stuff works in my Star Trek if it's entertaining, Kes is just weird both from a background perspective and underacted.

This reminds me of a time on the 4th of July many years ago where I was playing Day of Defeat Source, where I and a couple of other players got auto-balanced onto the Axis side, and someone in the voice chat said something along the lines of 'man, isn't it awkward that we're playing as the Axis on the 4th of July?' ...Does anyone still play Day of Defeat?

According to Steam Charts, there about 700 people playing right now, which is honestly more than I would have guessed. That game wasn't very popular even during peak popularity. Who knows how many of those are actual humans. Kiiiinda wanna reinstall it though.

Baka-nin posted:Rare good extracredits upload. A bunch of pearl-clutching nonsense. Nobody really gives a gently caress about what the teams are named in a multiplayer shooter and they certainly don’t cause people to identify with certain beliefs. This is basically just the same old “violent games make people violent” stuff we’ve seen a thousand times from clueless pundits, just with the goalposts shifted. Now it’s not violence as a whole that’s the problem, but a very specific type of violence that will brainwash people in a very specific way… somehow. What research has this guy done that led him to the idea that people are more likely to identify with Nazis or terrorists after playing as them in a video game? I’m going to guess he didn't do any, and that he pulled that conclusion right out of his rear end, because if he had any real data to back up his claims he would have shared it. Also I find the "you didn't choose this" line especially funny because yeah, you did. You bought the game. I assume most people don't buy games completely blind so they would have known how it worked beforehand.

He also has NewFramePlus, which is a cool show about video game animation. James turning out to be a dickhole was a bummer cause I liked their Extra History series. Not a huge fan of the new voice over either; he's not awful, but Dan has an enthusiasm that's really infectious.

It sucked when the Extra Credits stuff came out, but I was really happy to learn that Dan left because of it and started his own channel. He was the main reason I liked EC, so the fact that he was not only not the problem but willing to walk away from it all rather than continue working with abusers was quite nice. I hope he finds more success in his current venture than he ever did at EC. It certainly seems to be going well.

Alpharad is a Good Boy, right? He's not self-destructed or milkshake ducked publicly yet, right? He made a video where he and two friends trained a Donkey Kong Amiibo up to max level. By the end, they couldn't beat it even 3v1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0FoOZvENAA&hd=1 then they subjected the rest of the world to it, and the best word to describe it that isn't a synonym of "destroyed" is "shenanigans" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cISD0z-fXw&hd=1  edit: alpharad might be better for a different thread, is there one for general LPers and such? more related to this thread, Thew put up a new review for backers, G1 Megatron. It's interesting to see his take on that goofy piece of poo poo as a person who never really dealt with it as a kid, because G1 megatron is a weeeeeeeird toy. https://www.patreon.com/posts/new-review-g1-28141745  video also reminded me that there was another pre-G1 realistic handgun transformer, a Browning. Imagine if this had been Megatron instead.

Shame too, because he was really funny and good until he stopped hanging out with cool people like Vinesauce and starting orbiting around alt-righties instead.

And then, in the climactic battle between Wright and Wrong, he revealed his true identity... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9O-KIQ0fbmY&hd=1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzLFBSYdFmI&hd=1 It's gloriously stupid and was a mainstay of my tuesday nights for a while. It was so drat fun because the AI was so broken that characters earned traits based on the busted moves they would try to do. Ash Ketchum was a terribly-made utter loser who had never won a single match, and then in a royal rumble he refused to die, taking out...I want to say like 17 challengers in a row? something insane like that? and because of that Bazza decided to revamp his design, and Ash evolved into...Red, who became a top tier babyface. Just tons of goofy, lovable stuff, and eventually Bazza had to move on to other things, but it was great fun while it lasted. The chat being in full hype mode and playing along added so much to it, and I'm glad most of the archives retain the chat scroll.

VGCW really loses something out by not being there live. The chat captures some of it, but my God that was some incredible lightning in a bottle energy for a good while. E: Alpharad sure seems like an okay guy as well. Sometimes his non-edited Plus channel gets a bit... strange, but I don't think there have been any major red flags.

The only thing that makes me nervous about Alpharad is that he associated with WeeGee for so long, aka the guy that blatantly plagiarized that one Blue Yeti Mic review and who seems overall pretty edgy and chud-adjacent. Alpharad seems to be distancing himself from WeeGee though which is smart move.

The Bee posted:poo poo, serious? tbh his newer content hasn't really been my cup of tea, but is there a sum-up of the descent? The short unofficial version of events is that about 2-ish years ago cr1tikal started doing a YouTube podcast with his friends called "The Official Podcast", where he had other big YouTubers on as part of a roundtable gabfest for shits and giggles. Things started out fairly innocuous with a slate of generally non-controversial guests and then as the show became more popular they slowly started having on a lot of shitbags and alt-right/alt-light personalities, and when called out on it on Twitter he basically said "fine people on both sides." The most generous tl;dr read on the situation is that he's probably not an alt-right head himself, but he's totally cool with hanging around with them and signal boosting them. nine-gear crow fucked around with this message at 08:49 on Jul 5, 2019 |
