His Dragon Age 2 video disappeared too. Honestly, I do miss his content because he says a lot about complex ideas and applying them to video games in such a short amount of time. That Shandification video is paced supremely well and just as well written. I can listen/watch a few people talk about something for a couple of hours but MrBTongue's stuff was really interesting and bite-sized.

Yeah it's really surprising how good his videos are considering they are almost all shackled to the Mr. Plinkett style. His video on GoT perfectly summarizes what D&D failed to understand about the setting (and really everything wrong with the modern conception of a "badass" in media) and also hilariously, perfectly predicted what would happen when Septon Meribald was inevitably adapted in the show.

YouTube has to be the worst to try to put effort into. You see stream clips or people doing no effort reaction vids do numbers while you well edited and researched piece goes nowhere unless the algorithm decides to throw you a bone. The funniest was I had some random true crime videos commended to me from this channel called Criminally Listed. He gets near a million views on the low end for every video (and several million on a bunch) but he might have the worst speaking voice I've ever heard. I've never understood how his channel is so popular.

It's no surprise that most creators who put actual time and effort into well made, longer videos also tend to rely on a secondary source of income like Patreon. Youtube can really only bring in a workable amount of income if you're uploaded every day, or even multiple times a day, and bringing in 1M+ views.

Chris Davis is a good VG reviewer who is slowing down his channel due to lack of traffic. He is somewhat annoyed that his quick 40 minute video, about how average Cyberpunk is beneath the bugs, got far bigger numbers than the 70 odd videos he did work on fully.

And now I'm going to have to "not interested" his videos for a month for searching for one. Farm Frenzy posted:everything about the writing in bethesda fallout games is so bizzare and inconsistent. it'd make more sense if they were universally poo poo but they always sneak in one or two areas and quests that are actually well made and thoughtful. something is just wrong with they write and design games at the highest levels.

This is reminding me of when I tried to listen to the podcast Creepy and the guy's voice is just so fake at trying to sound scary it's an instant turn off. (Non of their guest narrators are good either. It's just awful acting and grating voices all around.)

Yeah he was running a guest column there for a while. I think it ran its course (he largely talked about Game of Thrones) but hell if I know for sure because I eventually got real tired of Shamus Young's "no politics" stance and stopped paying attention to the site.

I suspect Chills is popular because his voice/tone and subject matter are just very very funny when placed together. Kinda reminds me of a show on one of those discovery true crime channels called 'When Murder Comes to Town' and the guy who does the voice over naration has this weirdly sinister yet cartoony voice, he sounds like The Brain from the Animainiacs it rules. Anyway I try to avoid criticising people's speaking voices mine is both monotone and slurred so who am I to judge. Also I remember seeing a lot of complaints and insults directed at that guy from gamexplain until it became common knowledge he was partially deaf. Maybe theres a reason someones voice is a bit off y'know?

This last episode has some of the stars that he was the least sure he would be able to get, including one for which he had to recruit the irreplacable Pannenkoek just to find a possible route.

The Murder Comes to Town guy sounds like he’s trying to sound like Peter Thomas, the sublime narrator of Forensic Files, but he does end up sounding exactly like Maurice Lamarche. I had to check to be sure that it wasn’t him. That scary youtube video guy who goes way up on each final syllable sounded like a parody to me. The selection of “supernatural” videos is so lame that I thought he must be making fun of the people who make videos like that, a lot of whom have an affect inappropriate to the subject and overexplain everything.

Mr Phillby posted:I suspect Chills is popular because his voice/tone and subject matter are just very very funny when placed together. Seems like he initially wanted someone else to narrate because he knew that he wasn't good at it. He naturally speaks slowly and coupled with him not emoting while reading out loud is what makes it sound a little weird I guess. He could unknowingly be on the spectrum or just not want to disclose that he is, I hadn't thought about that at all. I do like his attitude, he seems like an alright kid

Criminally Listed is actually one of the few true crime channels I enjoy. His voice is an aquired taste but it's well researched and doesn't just cover the same cases as everyone else all the time AKAIK. I totally get why other people can't enjoy his voice, though.

Seeing as it's a closed, invite only network things like copyright and DCMA claims would be handled by an actual person, rather than an automated system which is where most of the issues with Youtube occur. I've been thinking of signing up for that Curiosity Stream & Nebula bundle as I watch a lot of content from those services on Youtube and it'd be easier to support the creators.

Going back to the last page's discussion: Bethesda is the great evil of our time, but on the other hand, if we didn't have Oblivion we wouldn't have Demon's Souls and then Dark Souls and then Bloodborne. So maybe great evils... are good?

I've got that bundle and while Nebula is a great idea it has one fatal flaw: no notifications. Since it only gets a few videos per day at most (compared to the dozens I get from my YouTube subscriptions) I never remember to manually check it. I would probably watch it quite a bit more if I could get email or app-based notifications when a new video was posted but according to posts on their official Reddit they've been "working on it" for about a year now with nothing to show so far. Apparently they're prioritizing a switch to a different CDN for the actual video content but the absence of such a basic but critical feature for so long really doesn't bode well for the service.

At least don't vest resources into voicing it? I mean this is a two-solution problem, either: A: Write less boring dialogue B: Write it, but don't voice it But the guy just goes on like he demonstrated this poignant idea. Yeah sure poo poo players want to skip through boring garbage, maybe you should have learnt from that instead of gratuitously patting yourself on the back?

Chills is great because he comes off as the most credulous person on the planet. He once featured a video of a cgi kaiju hanging out in the New York Harbor and ended the clip by asking why the media or government isn't talking about this. Rationally I know he's just trying to hit the 10 minute mark, but I like to believe he watches movies and just takes them as actual historical footage.
