I didn't like it at the time, but I watched it anyway. Kids are idiots. There were a few that I watched because it was on and I was too lazy and/or tired to turn it off. That wasn't one, but I remember it existing too. Usually it ended up being poo poo that ran late at night (and not because it had to, either) like Ned's Newt or Fat Dog Mendoza. Stuff that I remember and literally no one else I've ever spoken to does. Probably for the best too, because they were usually really bad. I didn't even like them at the time either!

Man, I was nodding along to Super Eyepatch Wolf's Space Jam Genocide Route video, feeling entertained but not really laughing at stuff until he hit me with Goku. Goku murdered me.

Benne posted:I know I'm several pages late on the Elfen Lied discourse, but I just wanted to say that Hazel did an incredible job contextualizing the era in which it came out, and just how a show that today is seen as embarrassing and dated somehow managed to connect with people at the time. Yeah at the time I was put off by EL quite strongly but seemed to be the exception, at the time and maybe a year after it had this hard dividing line, if you were into anime you seemed to not mind it, and the people who disliked or were repulsed by it generally didn't like anime at all or though EL was just what anime was. I was in the minority that liked some anime and the pop culture around it, but bounced off of EL pretty hard. I remember first seeing it on a programming block of anime that had two presenters and they were gushing about it. I know its the job of the presenters to push the shows on their network, but I've seen many presenters be baffled or obviously faking their hype and praise before, those two seemed really into it. I watched the series two years ago on netflix out of curiosity, didn't have as strong a reaction to it as I did in my teens but still hadn't warmed to it much. I think its up there with Natural Born Killers, in that it could only have been a big hit releasing when it did, the late 90s were the peak of that strange fascination many people had with spree killers that the film taps into. I don't imagine it does as well with audiences who missed that phenomenon.

The EL discussion brings to mind something that Dan Olson said in one of his Fifty Shades videos, namely that part of the reason fiction exists is to let us explore ideas that would be taboo, dangerous or both if they happened in real life. Being in the middle of a gunfight for example is not in any way cool or fun but when you’re watching it from the safety of your couch and you know nobody’s actually dying it can be both those things. Not that that absolves a story of criticism, of course. It’s just worth bearing in mind that all art is going to mean different things to different people, and sometimes that means something you despise or are disgusted by is going to be enjoyed by someone else (or vice versa) so you have to at least recognize that other person’s feelings are valid.

Day9 talks about what to do when facing an opponent in a game that is trying to do something out of the ordinary https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPL3zMPVklY&hd=1 and a video where he plays a deck in Historic MTG Arena(the "everything that's ever been released" mode, leads to some real stupid decks) that on turn 4 basically gives your opponent the option to counter a spell or they no longer get to play the game since you basically take infinite turns after that.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3HWlVEs6IU&hd=1 Historic MTG is some tomfoolery alright.

To be fair Natural Born Killers has Woody Harrelson playing up a great serial killer, it's pretty neat even if you weren't around for it at the start. Plus it has YOU MADE MYYYYY, poo poo LIIIIIIST~

Captain Invictus posted:Day9 talks about what to do when facing an opponent in a game that is trying to do something out of the ordinary I feel like that's a pretty important lesson to learn and why understanding fundamentals is so important: if you know what you should do to win and someone does weird stuff, just do what you need to do to win.

I remember the cramp twins existing and not liking it but I had to google to remember what the show looked like. Ah the amazingly appealing art style of no noses and floating outlines. I think they're meant to give a sketchy look but its so clean it just looks bizzare. I disliked the wobbly lineart style in Ed Edd and eddie but at least that was coherent.

One of my crank theories is that there was a certain genre of cartoons made by people who looked at the internet around then and went "No, the shows these dorks like are bad, I must make a cartoon for my weird, weird idea of what a normal child could be" and I put Crank Twins, Mike Lou and Ogg and Angela Anaconda on that list. And I kinda wish I had kept the link for an interview snippet with the creator of Avatar on how yes, this idea was thought in animation school at the time and he was incentivized by lecturers to do a "more relatable" cartoon about a kid who wants to buy a bicycle instead.

The only Billiam review that I really disagreed with was his Angela Anaconda one. I'd chuck on ABC (the Australian one) when I got home after school as it had shows for kids and teenagers until 6pm. Angela Anaconda was on fairly often and I don't know what Billiam was smoking when he said that it was an imaginative show that wasn't that bad because I loving hated it so much even when I was still an easily amused kid.

I've been meaning to ask why you keep posting these hours long videos of some dough face streamer playing some nerd rear end card game, which seemingly no one in here cares about. However, I watched a video and now I play Magic. So thanks I guess?

also yeah he's been streaming for longer than almost anyone, iirc he has the first twitch account ever made(besides the twitch company account). plus he's just a really upbeat and smart fella who has been a real fuckin' boon for me during the pandemic and I've been binging his MTG stuff a lot lately. I used to just catch some of the recent uploads but now I'm going back through the back catalog and it's fascinating. As someone who got into playing MTG again around zendikar rising, seeing the absolutely broken-rear end poo poo that plagued the game when throne of eldraine came out and got banned before I started is interesting. plus it's fun to see his cats mess with him on camera, despy just casually strutting and sitting down to block the camera and throwing a literal hissy fit when he objects, sheriff snuggling onto his shoulder like a little baby.

Their playthrough of the 2K19 career mode is pretty fantastic, featuring the up and coming wrestler, Al Ian, from Earth. Their playthrough of the Fire Pro Promoter game also had some really good bits. And then there's the Kingiest of the Ringiest events they've done, which is playing through a ton of wrestling games in King of the Ring mode, noting down all the winners, then running them through circuits against each other to determine, The Kingiest Of The Ringiest. OH MAN I ALMOST FORGOT, there was also a career they did in WWF No Mercy, which was Jim Ross, HARDCORE CHAMPION, BOOM BOOM. Yardbomb fucked around with this message at 15:03 on May 4, 2021 |

Oh and lol if you just wanna see someone suffer, Johnny playing the AJ Styles Million Dollar Tower, which is a marathon of ball busting matches, with stamina that carries over between all of them, as AJ Styles - who notably only has like one submission in this mode and it's bad. Some of the matches are tap out only.

The cartoons that came out when I was 11 were awesome and I loved them and they are objectively good. The current cartoons that are aimed at 11-year-olds are bad and I do not like them. This has nothing to do at all with me being 33.
