I remember looking at my 4 Baldur's Gate CDs and going, "oh, only 4?". One of my first encounters with computerized technology was a friend trying to show me a weird WWI-simulation game on Amiga. It had 14 discs. 14 of those little plastic squares. We dutifully loaded all 14 discs two loving times, waiting patiently for what felt for an hour, but the game always crashed after showing the intro. Afterwards we just gave up in disgust and played some weird Star Craft clone on another computer.

The stream was funny, even if Mandalore had played it before and knew what was coming. 5 might uses in some guy said "Haze was literally me in high school" and it just set the tone from there.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAWxMYu847E nitrorad finally got his halloween video up (finally in that he's usually started a series in september  )It's one of his best yet, production value wise. The panning shot of horror games having jimmy neutron gave me a laugh.

To the PS1. And it all has to fit on 1 CD."

I think Martian Gothic was originally designed as an adventure game and then it did not have a good time making the switch to RE clone.

Man Martian Gothic, I still remember watching the SBF Shitstorm episode on it ages ago. I love watching videos and LP's of weirdo RE knockoffs because they're almost always this weird mix of janky fifth gen graphics, general clunkyness, insane plots and terrible voice acting that makes the whole experience feel like peering into someone's fever dream.Kibayasu posted:I think Martian Gothic was originally designed as an adventure game and then it did not have a good time making the switch to RE clone. Incidentally this is also what happened to Deadly Premonition, which is arguably (very, very arguably) a much more successful example of this trend.

Haze's VA is Matt Shipman who, going by his IMDB, has gone on to have a respectable anime dubbing career https://www.imdb.com/name/nm4974834/?ref_=hm_rvi_nm_i_1 also the shonen villain ultimate evil self-professed god of child molestation is voiced by current memelord Gianni Matragrano

anonymous agony is in this weird zone where like, it appears to have been mostly finished in like, 2010 but also somehow only released in 2019. So you have this very weird thing where the primary voice actor was a nobody when it was made, but is also a serious big name dude in the EN dubbing scene when it actually gets anything resembling attention

Macaluso posted:There's a lot to unpack at the end there. Yeah. I thought the songs dragged a little too long but yeah, a lot of folks have a lot of issues. like i do like that you get an explanation of why blitz always stalks moxxie and millie all the time and i like that fizz is basicaly just the blitz that "made it" and that everyone who makes it in hell is some unfulfilled rear end in a top hat who drowns themselves in their excess so they don't feel empty on some level. also moxxie and millie continue to be wholesome as gently caress. i assume there will be a season 2(i heard probably about 3 or 4 seasons probably) but i think hazbin is finally found a network to stream or whatever from and that will be announced soon.

I never got into Channel Awesome, but that Dan Olson video about it from six months ago is mindboggling in a lot of ways. It's like Doug was invested in doubling down on some freshman-year film student hot take he had about The Wall. And maybe it's because I'm not that familiar with his other content but it felt like maybe half the time he was missing the point and being dumb, and then the other half he kind of understood it but was too invested in forcing a mean spirited dump on it to extrapolate any kind of worthwhile reading.

During the heyday of Rage Critics, many were playing the persona of kinda dumb cartoon men but got bored of the schtick and moved on (see: James Rolfe) but there were also plenty of actual dumb cartoon men who could flourish in the same space until they tried to pivot to actual critique (see: Doug Walker)

Doug is pretty blatantly doing what hack critics try to do and go after a universally beloved and respected work to prove how dumb and bad it is, actually, and show how smart and cool he is. That's his shtick as the NC but it's way less effective when he's not going after 80s kids movies.

This is Doug's approach to basically everything he produces for public consumption: Comedy* Uber Alles. Unfortunately, his sense of humor is bad and dumb, so his jokes suck and fall flat and he's the type of comedian who responds to a joke bombing by leaning even harder into it with a dab of attacking the audience for not laughing mixed in. He's also intellectually lazy and incurious and has just been coasting for a long rear end time. His audience are just as big of intellectual derelicts as he is, that's why they're still watching him on the order 500k a video in 2021. Dan hit it right on the head in that Doug is trapped in a half-assed hell of his own making, but is too lazy to bother to try and break out of it and by improving himself because he just doesn't care. The only thing I've ever seen him give an earnest poo poo about trying to actually properly understand and evaluate was Avatar: The Last Airbender and that was over half a decade ago now.

I’ve not seen The Wall but I did once look up the animated trial sequence on YouTube and then read the Wikipedia article. I thought, these animated grotesqueries are supposed to represent people and systems that suck, but ultimately they frame “tearing down the wall” as something that needs to happen, so there’s a lot going on here. That’s apparently more thought than the big movie critic put in.

That’s apparently more thought than the big movie critic put in. Pink, the main character in The Wall, is traumatized by an abusive school system, an overprotective mother who smothered him after his father died in WW2 and a toxic relationship with his wife where his own self loathing pushed her away. He metaphorically builds a wall between himself and the outside world to protect himself via isolation, to the point where he becomes catatonic and unable to perform shows without getting hopped up on drugs to function. The Wall needs to be destroyed because the isolation is just as self destructive as the rest of his life. The Trial is Pink's inner conflict where the part of him that needs to get out again sentences the sad sack that built the wall to have those barriers torn down. It's a punishment but also a form of salvation. But let's do some creepy CGI sex Muppets instead.

That’s apparently more thought than the big movie critic put in. It's more of an psychological angle than an political one with those per se. In the animated sections before you could definitely read the past animation sequences as satiric forces of opposition but in the trail it's about self-realization of influences. An very psycho-therapeutic scene.

I wonder if The Wall review would have gotten even a fraction of attention and mockery it did if Doug didn't let Fennah and his weird incongruent bullshit run wild over so much of the video? Like it would still be dumb and bad and miss the point by roughly the aphelion of Haley's Comet, but it wouldn't have been "...what the ungodly gently caress was that?" like it wound up actually being.

16-bit Butt-Head posted:the wall is the perfect doug video because it tells you everything you need to know about doug and why you shouldnt watch his videos or pay any attention to him It really is. Lame jokes aimed at elements that he failed to understand. Leaning negative because angry shouting man gets more clicks than liking stuff. Making the points about his own personal issues/opinions. And cowardly doing an 180 at the end and going "You know, it wasn't that bad, I see why people like it" just in case some of his audience like the source material enough to call out his bullshit.

I think he has a way of telling a story as if he understands it, because I used to feel that way about him too. Sometimes he even does/did some research (like the avatar example mentioned above), but most of the time its just his own base takes and minimal insight that he puts into the review. ... Even then, I have no idea how he could have thought that The Wall was a good review on any level.

One of my favorite things about Doug's the wall video is how Doug/NC goes from attacking the wall in the majority of the review, to randomly defending it when he's supposed to represent some inane strawman. Like who is Doug supposed to represent? The critic? the Audience? the movie's fans? All of the above/depends on which scene you're watching! lol Like not only does Doug not understand how movies work, he doesn't even understand how reviews, even lovely channel awesome style reviews with skits and waaaaacky characters (a style he pioneered!), work. There are LAYERS to his stupidity and misunderstanding of art. He's a 7 layer bean dip of media illiteracy.
