Quiverfull is the one that says to have as many kids as possible to fight in God’s army against the heathens.

I'd sooner work myself to death on anything than have 6 kids, christ.

He was probably already stupid rich after the first game or two (and assorted merchandising) and I would've definitely been licensing that poo poo off to other devs years ago even without kids.

watho posted:weapon durability is good. far cry 2 and dead rising proved that. “but the weapon durability makes those games very annoying” yes and they own because of it Dead Rising's method of it is great and more games should go that direction. Maybe it's because the combat can be good thanks to there being like hundreds of weapons and like 40 combinable ones that you could use that're cooler and probably more useful. Like Assault Rifle teddy bear or Darth Maul chain saw blades.

Lots of different resources to manage and it all flows well such that none of them ever feel out of place, it's great.

Dead Rising gradually sanding itself off into dust is a good object lesson.

You just know for him that'd probably be seen as women's work and a job for his devoted pious wife!  bobjr posted:Quiverfull is the one that says to have as many kids as possible to fight in God’s army against the heathens. Why am I not surprised that's a thing?

Alaois posted:6 kids? is he mormon or quiverfull I wouldn’t be surprised if he was some strip of Catholic or generic conservative Protestant. Quiverfall types are usually way way way more hosed up and open about being hosed up about their weird beliefs also the Uber hardline evangelicals tend to stay away from anything “paranormal” even writing about it. Him having like 6 kids is the least weird thing in my opinion because that kinda of just a trend with conservative religious types. Soup du Jour posted:the Lindsay Ellis video on the little mermaid was very good but christ did she sound depressed I mean she had some nut job trying to list every mistake she ever made and then sharing it, then she had another friend who was an emotionally abusive rear end in a top hat try to gently caress her over as well, gods know how much bad poo poo there was behind the scenes and how many people she thought were her friends were just looking for an opportunity to toss her under the bus. Gwen posted:chances are he was already planning to exit on some level and this just pushed it forward on the priority list. guy is a millionaire he can duck out whenever. Exactly. Now he has an “excuse”

Lots of different resources to manage and it all flows well such that none of them ever feel out of place, it's great. The first one is like a JRPG 30 years ago to me. It's just all grinding and the combat isn't fun enough to support it. It's Sticker Star but in real time IMO. Motto posted:Dead Rising gradually sanding itself off into dust is a good object lesson. There was a good video on how the series changed and they lost most of the details that the older ones had as time went on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUxJpDtg0Bs It's just like GTA 4 vs 5. Bodies don't react to being kicked, there's no blood splatter. The series used to be ridiculously open to anything being a weapon. Like you go to the food court and every chair around a table could be picked up- and probably the table too if you wanted- and they lost that. I don't remember if there was like an actual video of someone going over what happened to the studio as they lost those details that was posted in here too but I feel like there was.

There's actually some interesting stuff in the Quinton iCarly video if he'd just cut the hours of just recapping the episodes. Like how he counts all the crimes comitted by the cast or compares them to a kid version of Always Sunny in Philadelphia. I still don't know why I'm watching it.

What happened is that everything after Dead Rising 1, which was done in-house at Capcom, was outsourced to a different studio. Which by all accounts was gradually mismanaged into nothing and constantly given the short end of the stick by Capcom. This is why Crowbcat's videos are useless comparisons. DR1 and 4 were made in totally different contexts by totally different developers. No poo poo random tiny details aren't consistent between the two. (To say nothing of all the myriad ways that those sorts of things can just fall through the cracks even when the same people are making the game.)

I met a dude once who I'm like 90% certain was a Quiverfull because he was about my age and had four kids already with #5 on the way because he got his girlfriend pregnant before they'd even graduated high school and they just kept on having kids every other year, and he was the grossest, scummiest, most loathsomely amoral person I've ever had the displeasure of meeting in my life thus far. Pretended to be a paragon of virtue and pillar of the community too, just for the kicker.

As much as youtube loves to make videos about history channel and TLC shows that caused the channel to take a downturn, you don’t see many videos about the Duggars because of how dark and depressing it gets once you get under the surface.

Soup du Jour posted:the Lindsay Ellis video on the little mermaid was very good but christ did she sound depressed The thing that depresses me more than reminding me of how I and everyone else was a shithead online in 2009 is that Disney's new movies aren't actually responding to criticisms of their own films but rather the public perception of their movies. So they're engaging with bad faith arguments rather than dealing with actual issues in their older movies. So Disney once again takes the easy route and battles a flimsy strawman to look woke for click bait crowds. It's just cynical. Arc Hammer fucked around with this message at 20:07 on Jun 17, 2021 |

dead rising 2 will always have a place in my heart but yeah the series truly got worse after every iteration. the first game is a masterclass in how stacking seemingly player-unfriendly mechanics can lead to a masterpiece. it’s similar to Farcry 2 and Kane & Lynch 2 in that way

I feel like this is product of teasing iCarly for months before actually seeing how much material there was to mine. Or just hitting a really badly timed case of creator's block.

Yeah, there was some legit good stuff in there if he had focused on that aspect instead. He had some good insights about how mean spirited and petty some episodes are. I made it 3 hours in with it on in the background but after he found the random CD in the camera and started watching and recreating it while showing off all the hats he bought I couldn't tolerate it anymore even as BG noise I couldn't last 30 min into the Fred vid so I guess it was technically an improvement.

Here's a video about the strange history of Call of Duty Nintendo ports and the online community that sprouted from it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fp6YOVkpjw I was a hard-line Wii fan when these ports came out and I remembered pouring so many hours into them up until MW3. Kind of a shame that Call of Duty never appeared on the Switch, given that Gyro support has become more popular for FPSes thanks to Splatoon and BOTW. At least there are other franchises on that console that can cover for the FPS audience that Activision left behind, though I hear that certain ports struggle to do it right.

Like how he counts all the crimes comitted by the cast or compares them to a kid version of Always Sunny in Philadelphia. yea I'm in the millennial chunk where iCarly was just a little too late for me to be its target demo so I've got friends who are younger who had it as part of their childhood but know very little about it aside from the memes. I truly cannot care less about him carefully recapping the entire show episode by episode but a video that's just 'this is kinda interesting, you can see how Nick was edging around a less saccharine kinda tone in its humor and had an almost 'It's Always Sunny Jr' feel to it at times with the joke being these kids are kinda dicks' would actually be interesting. I always just kinda lumped it in with the general mush of Hannah Montana-ish shows but from the bits I sat through of the video it does sound like they had an actual attempt at a unique thing there. Shame about the rampant pedophilia and abuse that infested Nick at the time!

There's some hints that he might talk about that in a next video. Twice he asks "Do you think this line was written by a man or a woman?" and then said that the author was a mystery.

Jennette McCurdy was in a really bad place for a bit too from what I've heard, although her mother gets some of the blame for that. And as for Jamie Lynn Spears...

but like is the fact that the creator of icarly is a nonce ever brought up in the video? because if you try to wring 5 hours of content out of it without talking about that fact or how it affected the show and the children involved in it… i know i keep beating this drum and i can understand not wanting your video to be super loving dark but also it’s an inescapable fact of the show that you really really shouldn’t overlook

Though Since he's only halfway done, he still has time to really get into it.

Does feel like that might be the single most relevant fact about iCarly in retrospect. People would give you sideeye if you made a video reviewing the quality of every "Jim'll Fix It" prize.

Also was this ever posted? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9co2PqKxNWc I never heard of this guy before but his take on how Sabrina got completely ruined from what could have been an amazing story and all the strange elements to why it sucked is pretty solid and entertaining to listen to.

I'm watching it now and its nuts! That stuff about lag shooting and firing from the hip being completely screwed up is wild. I never played any of the cods on Wii online. I had Call of Duty 3 on Wii but only played the campaign. I asked for an Xbox360 for my birthday just to play Call of Duty 4 because it wasn't on wii at the time. When CoD4 did come to the Wii, I didn't regret my decision to get a 360 because I prefered it to the wii since it was more powerful obviously. Had I known how broken the MP on wii was, I would have been extra glad I went with the 360 lol
