All of Baywatch is oddly homoerotic.

That Ironman episode was very weird. Did Baywatch just not know what homoerotic tension was? Did they not know that Garner lovingly filming Hasselhoff's arse might be a bit suspect?
I'm sure I've asked this question before but do gay people exist in the Baywatching universe at all? Can't wait for some undoubtably sweet homophobia from Mitch, hey-o!

oh my god I've just realised - if there are gay people on Baywatch, Mitch would naturally assume that they were attracted to him and wouldn't stop going on about how they were checking him out.

Holy poo poo, everyone in Tower of Power has incredible hair. And those two montage dudes were definitely about to make out. What the hell is going on with Baywatch and its blazing homoeroticism? I've seen actually gay stuff that's less gay than this!

Naive celebration of masculinity always ends up way gayer than gay stuff. The Hoff isn't even aware enough of the consequences of his narcissism to give out a "no homo" like a soldier who just flicked his buddy in the dick (this could be a US-specific analogy).

Mitch and Garner is my favorite couple on Baywatch!

You did ask that question before, and from what I recall, there are no overtly gay characters on Baywatch proper. There's an episode about AIDS where I'm sure the character is implied to be gay, but it's not stated. Baywatch Nights has an episode set around drag queens, so there's that.

Also Baywatch hosts the Special Olympics:

I can't see this going forward too far, because all it's going to take is one big YouTuber happening to get targeted and it's going to become a PR nightmare.

Of course, we'll have to wait for that to happen by accident, because YouTube is pretty infamous for not giving a gently caress if major channels break their rules; and Google AdSense had that thing a while back where it came out that their whole business model was keeping the tippy-top earners happy while doing everything possible to screw over smalltime revenue earners so they could minimize the amount of money they were actually paying out.

He has had, does have, and will continue to have, depression and "other symptoms" that prevents him from making content that isn't twitter slap fights and streaming. The vast majority of his payers assumed (rightfully) that he would make his skit driven reviews of games and movies and well... he hasn't.

I'm not going to poo poo on him for legit having depression but it seems every month he goes on about something else wrong that he is seeing a doctor for that makes me question if its actually legit.

E: Oh and from when he was doing video updates his attitude probably didn't endear his patrons. He would upload videos about movies that were often longer then the movie itself and decided the best way to answer criticism was to be condescending and say "Look I'm going to talk for a while, I got things to say".

A better camera, microphone, and some editing would go a -huge- way. Don't get me wrong I still love his videos even if they're always pretty much over an hour. The very start of this video, once again the editing is awful. He's talking to the camera and a fade in to gameplay does a really poor transition and the volume goes up significantly too.

Oh I'm well aware.
Analogy-wise, I'm also now a bit more..immersed in military culture than I was six weeks ago, owing to me doing an episode on a terrible comic about Don't Ask Don't Tell. That led me down a bit of a military rabbit hole and ruined my recommendations everywhere - Youtube now recommends me "WAR" and I keep getting promoted tweets from the Australian Defence Force.

Oh and I also recently watched a glorious and terrible movie about gay navy pilots - yes, it was Top Gun taken to its logical conclusion - so look forward to a review on that when I get the chance! (I suddenly picked up a lot more work at work.)

The thing too is he was doing upwards of 40 posts a day on Twitter which is more than some spam bots even, all basically the same thing either complaining about wrestling or Trump. So as kinda said earlier it's literally nothing that's made his Patreon tank so hard. His Firing Line video is still blocked in the USA too so his last watchable review is back from February.

Honestly the most interesting thing he's done is he hasn't posted on Twitter for about four or five days now that I look which I don't think has happened in years. So here's hoping he's still okay.

As an aside, someone on the WoW development team is a Game Grumps fan. All three have named NPC's in a town on the Broken Isles (the continent for the new expansion, Legion). They're just standing NPC's in Bradensbrook in Val'Sharah. It was an odd thing to happen across.

Can we all just agree that NCG is the actual coolest guy on the internet? Schmucks like me record videos in front of nerd paraphernalia and edit in attempts at looking like professional graphics; he's got vintage 1970's music equipment and is just like "Imma write the titlecard on paper, because then I can light that bastard on fire". And honest to a fault in all his dealings. And making the flat-out best video game related content on YouTube. Noah Caldwell-Gervais is that high school teacher that people make a point of staying in contact with years after the fact.

NCG's on-camera aesthetic is really great, though I also appreciate that it's such a small part of his videos.

I would really dig another travel log video. I don't think I've ever wanted to take a big road trip more than when I finished hearing his tale of driving around the American West with his buddy in a car that could barely go up a small hill by the end.

I got quite a few comments from people like "Hur hur, how's the Special Olympics episode??" and like....man, I was worried about how to handle it. It was less good than I remembered (I watched all of these streaming, so there are some things I didn't pay attention to), but overall it really was not a badly done episode. Really corny for sure, but I feel like it was a nice message and they were pretty harmless with it. Kinda wish the kid who'd played Darnel was also special needs like the girl who played Sammy, but I don't feel like they were ever disrespectful.

The next episode, Jeremy Jackson tries to shoehorn his music career into the show and Mitch daydreams about David Hasselhoff concerts!

unfortunately from my experience, people suffering from depression don't think about that sort of thing logically, there's just a deep pit of shame and they shut themselves away from the world and hope everyone just forgets

not saying that means people should give him slack or anything, you shouldn't ever condone that behaviour, just providing some insight I suppose
