Their segment with GBA games was pretty weak. While I get how it tied into the larger point, it does undermine it a little because a lot of the games that were shown can be gotten fairly cheap if you buy the cart only and not go for the boxed copies that were never opened like those that were shown in the video.

drat, 20 years old and only two bad games in the series. That's a pretty good run for any franchise.
If the new one's good that might be reason enough to get a PS5 eventually lol

I am curious which ones you think are bad though. I've heard only bad things about All 4 one, the 2D 4 player platformer spinoff and I personally think both the PSP games are bad (secret agent Clank being the worst). Some people don't like Deadlocked/Gladiator but they're wrong its actually the best one.

I waited until I could buy a ps3 for £50 secondhand just to I could play the R&C games for that generation lol. Tools of Destruction was really disapointing but A Crack in time was like actually really good, it even made me okay with some of the more bizarre plot changes.

The remake on ps4 was really nice looking and played well but I did not care for the story at all and the cutsenes that weren't lifted from the movie directly had worse animation that the PS2 original did.

Gonna be honest, im ten minutes into the Hbomb video and the amount of weak jokes and skits that have nothing to do with the video's thesis is extremely off putting.

I like them. Hbomb wants to make 2 hour videos about why Sherlock sucks or New Vegas is great. Instead he's become an influential voice on the left about right wing bullshit, and he brings to it a levity that's important to keep around lest you get super sad.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

I'm kind of coming from the other side: I crave weak jokes and skits like sharks crave blood, but everything longer then ca. 30 minutes is extremely off putting to me. Though the last hbomber video I watched was funny and informative enough to eventually carry me through, so I'm willing to watch it on Saturday, when I actually have the time to let a 2-hour video running in the background

I finished hbomb's video, at first I was a bit put off by skits and length and all that but after 15-20 minutes it starts getting really good. It's just an engrossing unraveling of a massive con which gets more and more ridiculous and disturbing with each layer

I mean yeah while I do agree his media analysis vids are way more entertaining, this topic is very important. Like this video goes places. The insane farcical origins of the anti vax movement is nuts and its good Hbomb is using his influence to educate as many people as possible even if most people who watch the video already know vaccines don't cause autism. I think Hbomb figures he should use his influence for this kind of thing considering how hes moved away from just dunking on nobodies like Jordan Owen and that Skull guy, or even people like Carl of Akkad, and instead address important issues like climate change and vaccine denial stuff

Very impressed that everyone's managed to watch a video that's almost half as long as a Zack Snyder Justice League without screaming as they watch the timestamp crawl.

When I was younger I always wanted a website that explains things in layman's terms with diagrams and stuff. With youtube being so popular now there're videos about basically everything now though so a 'How it's Made' on everything doesn't really need to be invented so much as just keep momentum. I like videos like Hbomb's because it's a bunch of information consolidated into one place with sources and reasons and stuff.

That's a far more mature opinion on things than I have which is 'You don't like something? Well, I cannot present an argument well enough to argue against you and it doesn't effect my life at all so you do you.'

this is less "dunking on" and more "here's the totality of how the originator of the MMR autism myth is a loving monster who abused kids, nearly killed one, and lied about more than half of his results against the rest of the medical team that assisted him in the study all for a get rich quick scheme... AND HE WASN'T EVEN ANTI-VAX WHEN HE PUSHED IT, BECAUSE HE WAS SELLING HIS OWN VACCINE"

it's not so much a 'here's a clip of an alt-right youtuber, then my wacky response' and more "holy poo poo this ghoul should be in prison". though there are plenty of interview clips of wakefield that are very bad

This keeps getting paired with a recommendation for his "let's try 20 different lunchables" and I find that hilarious.

I think the worst one he's had to do, as far as I'm concerned, is the one where he had to drink a ton of different Gatorade flavors. That just sounds like a miserable experience.

For me it was 'try however many Little Debbie's.' I can't imagine that much bland processed sugar but drinking a lot of vaguely flavored salty water is no doubt up there.

As someone who was only peripherally aware of the bogus study that basically started the whole anti-vaxx movement, it's genuinely shocking to see how the whole thing came about because a loving lawyer hired a hack to fake a study so they could sue vaccine companies.

Hbombs video is informative, entertaining and genuinely educational, and imo it's his best work yet.
