He not only defended Other M, he also said the reason people didn't like it was because they were racist against Japanese people. :shepface: Yes, really.

If I'm recalling correctly, Moviebob calling Halo fashy was because of a commercial (I think for Reach?) where everything was monochrome but when a soldier was given a serum or something it turned his eyes bright blue and he just kinda went "Blue eyes? LIKE THE NAZIS!!??"

A friend had a role in organizing some transhumanist conferences for a while, and was very interested in the movement. However, this friend was non-binary and quickly learned that the transhumanist movement is, paradoxically, extremely transphobic.

He's an occasional youtube video essayist. He has this "Really That Good" series that is all right, but it's also significantly more thorough and only gets released maybe once a year.

https://vimeo.com/167872868

But more often he's a reviewer/commentator. He had a twice-a-week commentary show on the rebooted Escapist plus a once-a-week review show, but was let go because he became too toxic on Twitter (and because his videos couldn't help but take swipes at various "inferiors"). Apparently he's continuing that on his youtube channel, supported by a slowly-but-steadily dwindling patreon.

I used to watch his movie reviews a lot, but I've given up on him and now I just watch Armchair Auteur for that stuff. I gave his Game Overthinker videos a shot once and immediately got turned off by the skits, and keep in mind that at this point in my life I liked a significant chunk of Nostalgia Critic skits.

Arcsquad12 posted:

Parangosky is a manipulative sociopath and more than willing to gaslight Serin Osman about Halsey while covering up her own complicity in the SII program. The stuff with the IIs is ethically sketchy as gently caress but the III program is downright bonkers and it's impressive how much of the franchise ignores the poo poo that happened to them. Like, Kurt downright lobotomizes the Gamma Company SIIIs with rage drugs because he's upset about the suicide missions that killed Alpha and Beta companies, and the worst that ever comes from this violation is that the Gammas need to constantly pop pills to not go insane. And none of this is ever met with a horrified reaction from anybody.

I like the Nylund novels but they are dead set on ends justify the means responses to stop genocidal aliens.

The Halo 4 and 5 opening CGI cutscenes do keep the amoral Halsey angle where she's unrepentant about the SII program but these are basically meaningless because neither of the cutscenes are related to basically anything in the franchise or even their respective games.

I missed some poo poo with the Halo books then, i remember liking the novelization of Halo 1 since it had a sidestory with a Grunt that saved an Elites life and you followed along with their little sidestory until one of them got run over by Master Chief as he was doing the warthog escape and the other got blown up with Halo at the end :v:


Then there was First Strike with the sick nasty sniper lady that sniped a Brute upside down while handing from a wire with her legs or some poo poo? It was stupidly awesome

It's a lot more simple than that. He hates Halo because he's decided it's a series for jocks and bros. He's proudly proclaimed he's never played one many times. Anything he piles on top of that is looking for justifications.

It's hard to understate how hard Bob is not just mentally stuck in highschool, but a version of highschool entirely built from hackneyed tropes and cliches. That includes continuing to be a teenage Objectivist no matter how many layers of hollow weaksauce Liberal he tries to whitewash it with

It's because Halo put gaming in the mainstream market with Halo creating a fanbase in college students and the like. How dare Halo take gaming away from the nerdy intelligentsia! :goonsay:

God loving consumerism is brain rot.
People really want to go back to a time when politics were lower-stakes disagreements, which in reality never existed and was more of a cultural faux pas to disclose your politics. Marginalized people getting larger platforms to reveal just how bad the politics have always been is another factor.

I mean, people just don’t want to think their entertainment purchases are indirectly hurting people, and goofy Sonic memes about consumerism don’t help with that. Although FNAF is such a thoroughly milked franchise I have no idea what people are getting from it these days.

While there is some pickup before it, Halo was definitively the watershed moment because it was a game with easy-to-learn controls and fantastic gameplay on a machine that could get hooked to any TV and entertain four people for hours with zero IT or technical skill involved.

The PS2 helped as well by being a DVD player, but Halo was the game that did it.
