He then shut the stream off and played 5 hours of the game offstream, by himself, and stopped right at level 15 when he could have done dungeons with fans.

If something in your computer overheats because of a game, the problem is with your computer and not the game.

Except in the case of Starcraft 2's release or the release of something on it, where idling on the menu screen somehow was pushing people's GPU's to try and render an infinite number of FPS or some poo poo, which resulted in some dead rear end cards. I always remember that one in particular being a pretty spectacular gently caress up.

Matt Hoss, akak Bold Guy - Makes skits where he has "witty" banter with women and irritates them into wanting to gently caress him.

What, how fake or "HEH see they said X which really means Y" is this incredibly stupid sounding poo poo, because this sounds more like it should end with "and irritates them into beating him in the face" than anything.

Also it'll never stop being funny how incredibly fragile these kinds of scummy fucks end up being when anyone actually gets at them for being disgusting.

He took it too seriously.

Also I'm seeing some other YouTube videos where people h3h3 previously poked fun at showing support for them in this lawsuit. Some have even donated to the GoFundMe.

Nah I getcha, that dude's a huge tool and obviously I hope the h3h3 people steamroll his ridiculous sounding case. I mean them just running down that list was like what does this guy even have on his side? :psyduck:

Then again, with who it is I kind of doubt it being the first ever issue. Like he might have a soundproof recording room now but has he always? Cause if I heard the average pewdiepie video screaming through the walls pretty much ever, I'd be complaining.

Also if it turns out he's misrepresenting this as a homophobia thing, he can eat a XXXL pile of poo poo for trying to pull sympathy from problems of a group he's not even in.

Not that it really changes much, but in this case the thing I spoiled seemed like a pretty safe thing to spoil because it's something that you really really have to go out of your way to see in the first place. To the point where the reason i even mentioned it is because you have to already know it exists to know what to do to find it without just guessing. :shrug:

HarshlyCritical is usually pretty good about not being obnoxious I don't remember how his original Five Nights at Freddy's videos were but they would probably be worth a shot.

He got into the first couple games really well then got more and more "It's okay" to them as it's gone it seems like, he's been pretty up front that it was also in good part thanks to the really obnoxious people that sprang up around them over time as well. Like in one or another of the later ones, he complained that there were a weird bunch of people really jumping on him over misgendering the robots in previous ones. :v:

So like 1-2-3 he was still getting caught by jumpscares here and there, but he wasn't ever a gibbering mess about them.

I still can't believe that DSP's stuff was, you know, the work of a real person and not some kind of performance art.

People tried to say he was just playing a character a lot, at least to some part, to which I always maintained that I never thought it was true. Like even if you're trying to say he's one of those people that never wanna 'break character', the people who really do that level of dedication to their shtick, whether it's for music or videos or acting or whatever, they usually have the common sense or at least decency to hit the off switch for a minute when they're gonna talk about something serious. Even in his videos where he's whinging about his income or how his followers are at fault for him floundering and whatever else, he's still being the same big lovely baby, no matter what he was doing he was always the same shrill incompetent manbaby and I don't believe that someone like Phil has the ironclad composure to never once crack up at everything, come off too honest for his character, have a moment of weird clarity of the 'real him' or anything like that.

They're not. The whole ban thing was because they got at lowtax on twitter over the 'shmorky kills themself for the 5th time' or whatever youtube stream. Nobody defended the (literally) lovely child groomer.

Also you'd have to be really willfully ignorant to not think that their political leanings just gives trash people even more desire to hound them over nothing.

Not after this one, oh no, the entire thing is top to bottom a mixture of ragging on him and "What the gently caress" sentiments now, the only people still coming to his defense by this point are the blatant pol shitposters and their ilk.

That's what I don't get about people like JonTron and Milo and even someone like Ann Coulter. You're trying to appeal and be part of a group whose ideals are explicitly HATING you. They're not going to regard you as "one of the good ones." Sure, you might advance their cause and give it more credibility so they can say "See? Even this person knows their place and understands we are superior!" but if they get the power and position they so badly desire, do they really think they would be spared?

Milo yanablalba at least was just doing it because they so desperately wanted some kind of validation, to be SOMEONE's little important celebrity, that the someone were fine even being nazis by another name for them.
