Whenever I watch Let's Plays they have to be by people who are actually good at the games, and it's better when they're better at it or more knowledgeable than I am (for example, Chip Cheezum's LPs). Griffin's Pokemon Y Nuzlocke LP is something of an exception because he often gets owned really hard, but he's also intentionally making a very easy game much harder on himself.

Speaking of the McElroy's, does anyone remember one of their earlier (read prior to ep 100) episodes of MBMBAM in which they were talking about Gonzo's nose being phalic? It was one of the funniest bits from their early days and I don't remember which ep it was in. I miss the old MBMBAM, their newer stuff isn't as enjoyable to me.

I sorta get angry watching his nuzlocke run when he frets for ages over a situation that's really fine but it's a little silly to compare gameplay ability between a preview of a game and an LP.

I have a hard time watching game preview videos in general just because it irks me when someone's bad at a game and I can't do anything about it, so I generally just don't.

Ah right I misread that, sorry. Backseat gaming's a weird impulsive thing for me sometimes, Mc Elroy's nuzlocke runs are lately the only weird time it's been coming up. Luckily I stop myself for being a gigantic rear end and dropping a comment explaining things. One bad case of backseat gaming for me was when I first introduced Dark Souls to my BF and I seriously was obnoxious about it. Next time he tried I let him do his thing and just helped if he asked and he got hooked this time. Then gave up when he got to Lost Izalith. Don't backseat game folks.

Realizing in my teens that I was way too much of the "Let me do it" guy has stuck with me and helps me be super respectful and patient when being in an office and helping people do things on their computers. When I encounter people at work who are way too quick to reach for someone else's mouse and go "can I drive?" I always wonder if they played videogames with other people as a kid.

Mordja posted:Yeah, it's kind of obnoxious. He is kind of bad at latching onto successful gags and running them into the ground, I stopped following CoolGames Inc when he did like three episodes in a row that were just non-stop vore discussion without even trying to make jokes about it. Big Gulp was funny as a one-off speciL. Griffin's Amiibo corner was great. Him entering a Super Mario Maker competition with a level built around him eating the contestants was hilarious. But you can only build that wacky stack so high before it comes tumbling down.

Golden Goat posted:Ah right I misread that, sorry. I'm sorta lucky that my girlfriend is almost exclusively into games that I'm horrible at, largely puzzle games. I never even feel a vague desire to backseat game when she's playing. We played Super Mario 3D World pseudo-co-op (only have one Wii U controller, so no actual multiplayer) and it worked out pretty well because she hated trying to hunt down stars and stamps, so she'd just always be the first one to do a level to completion, then I'd take over and try to get the tricky stars, then we'd switch back. I'm pretty good at keeping my backseat gaming under control in real life, but when it comes to watching people play games on YouTube I figure, why even put myself in that situation? So I just seek out videos by people who are really good and probably better than I am at whatever they're playing (or doing a playthrough that I wouldn't attempt myself, like Griffin's Nuzlocke run or that time Super Bunnyhop did a no tranq, no kill European Extreme run of MGS3) and then I can just kick back and relax.

I like hanging out with my sister because it's usually the opposite of backseat gaming. She prefers to watch me play while we talk about it- recently we finished The Last of Us and it made her cry twice! Next we're playing Firewatch and it's gonna happen again I bet! edit: Although we do play co-op games together. Playing Portal 2 with her was fun but also made me very ill because they split the screen vertically instead of horizontally and it made me want to throw up every time we looked in different directions

I hope Weed3 this year brought in a new era of shitheel videogame presentation committees trying to write dialogue about weed and vaping in their presentations Aisha Tyler: "And the final entry for game of the year is Arkane Studios' Dishonored 2! (pause for applauding) Yes, and look at those smoky shadow powers! Reminds me of something else that's smoky, am I right ahaha"

Oh man, I'd never heard of Agony before, but this seems like *exactly* the kind of Beksinski / Barlowe nightmare-Hell creative art poo poo that I've been begging for.

Planet Earth 2 is one of the greatest things these eyes have ever seen on television.

Going off the description + the distressingly generic title I thought you guys were talking about Scorn at first, which is also an indie Beksinski-Giger hellscape with questionable gameplay but amazing environments. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEE4yZgphFk

I saw Scorn on the same playlist of upcoming horror games as I first saw Agony, and it doesn't really grab me at all. Like, the designs seem neat, but the environments seem too empty and sterile. Agony's wet corridors of viscera and teeth and bone seem way cooler. Also, the gun in Scorn is kinda neat, but its not the type of atmosphere I'm interested in shooter elements mixing with. But too early to tell.

NHL games are my jam. I also like sports management games. And in real life, fantasy sports (and poker, I guess) is the closest thing you get to video games without entering the realm of board games. I love me some socially acceptable fantasy sports games.

Sports games are graphical marvels, they really make good use of the freedom allotted by limiting the amount of things they have to load in. http://puu.sh/skMqc/eea41ffd63.webm Speaking of graphical marvels, the first pass of my outside frames are (is?) done. There's a nice light noise filter on the dark green background that makes it have a bit of texture, but you can't really tell in the webm. It's starting to kinda look like a real videogame now sorta! Next I'm gonna add menu buttons in the top right corner and an actual UI for navigating the buttons along the bottom, which will require completely overhauling how they're coded. I'm not looking forward to that!

I enjoy FIFA but madden always felt way too slow and simple for me. But above all the arcadey versions of sports are always more fun because they can extrapolate the essence of the sport to extreme degrees. Like Blitz will always be the best football game

Oh yeah the NHL are the only games Ive enjoyed cranking up to Maximum Simulation, theres a lot of fun puck handling stuff in those games if you max out the physics calcs and give yourself full range of motion. Easy to gently caress up as well but its pretty satisfying to get good at
