I've been watching some Game Grumps again to do some research, and in one of the videos Danny mentions there is a website dedicated to Ross' wife's feet.

Against my better judgement I looked at the polygrumps thing and I'm almost disappointed, from what I saw like 90% of it was just cute normal gifs of the crew.

Nothing supremely awful that I could see :shrug:

Andrast posted:

I just don't really understand vilifying someone who is obviously privileged/sheltered and didn't understand how bad rape jokes were.

I really doubt he didn't understand, probably more that he just didn't care until a lot more people got on his case about it.

I think their reasoning boils down to "we are Nintendo and we can get away with this".

The sad part is just how hard a bunch of people will bend over backwards to take Nintendo's side on it too. Like guys, I don't think the corporate Goliath that is Nintendo needs your backup, you should probably be supporting your fellow consumers/content creators.

Game Grumps video length actually puts me off watching them for long spans of time. If they start doing something I'm interested in, I pretty much just make a note and check back a month or two later when it's hopefully done, or at least well-progressed.

Mostly though Best Friends really have spoiled me, not only do they do the same system of like 2-3 videos daily, they're almost always half an hour at minimum so I always feel like I'm getting a significant amount of content every visit.

Really it doesn't help though that part 1 of GG's Phantom Pain LP was just eeeuuuuggghhhh. Game audio super low without subtitles, they've both already played really far ahead so no WOAH reactions to the crazy things even in the intro, Arin sooort of leads on a bit hard with a voice-actor related thing, Man Who Sold The World muted and replaced to dodge copyright junk. Just good lord.

Also they just finished a playthrough of Until Dawn which also fits the mood so hey.

So I just got done watching HarshlyCritical play SOMA and thoroughly enjoyed it even with the facecam - because (at least now vs his older videos) he doesn't just scream like a baby and seems to, er... think critically so it's often nice to see him ponder or react to something heady in a game like SOMA but that's besides the point. I've been checking some of his other LPs and maybe it's just because he covers a lot of indie and Unity based games over more polished games like SOMA or AAA titles but I'm not getting into them as much, so...

I'm looking for some other good youtube LPs of horror games that aren't atrocious. Just looking for LPers who seem like good people and might actually be considerate. Facecam or not I don't care, that poo poo really doesn't bother me in the slightest. More peeps like HarshyCritical would be perfect, honestly.

Yeah, HarshlyCritical's gone on record saying some of his much older videos are bad, because of course at the very start there was still some hamming up going on before he'd gotten a proper identity, but for a while now he's gotten out of it and it's so much funnier seeing someone just dryly react or laugh to lovely indie horror jumpscares, rather than screech at pin drops.

As for some other good horror people, a buddy of his has a channel as well, MrKravin, who does about the same sort of thing. Occasionally they have overlap on the dumb, bad games, but they also both get a fair share of stuff only one does.

Then on top of that, they have a charity co-op channel also about playing dumb horror/survival-horror games! DangerousToGoAlone.

2: He doesn't scream and flail at everything and blows his whole character so what's the point anymore

It just seems like a bad time whichever way.
