The whole "if you want to do a single Nintendo video we take a 40% cut, but if you agree to put all your faith in our products to only do Nintendo related videos we'll only take a 30% cut" is pretty dumb as well.

Really don't see the angle Nintendo is going for other than wanting to exert more control on their IP. Which they sort of have full right to do with regards to Let's Plays (since that's still a debated topic) but they're going about things so weird and awkwardly.

It also doesn't really cover review videos and news videos much either from what I can tell.

Or you could have two channels and segregate all the Nintendo stuff. It's probably just a reward for making the administration side simpler, you only have to point at one channel instead of every video individually.

also I thought this was supposed to work the other way round that L --> R but whatever. Not a funny video so it isn't redeemed at all by humour.

Either works, Japanese just doesn't distinguish between the two. I understand it's actually more common for a language to not have separate L and R sounds than to have them, but don't quote me on that.

No, SA is better. It's better than YouTube. It's better than Twitter. It's better than Tumblr. It's better than Reddit. It's better than 4chan. It's better than FARK. It's better than Ebaumsworld. It's better than YTMND. It's better than GameFAQs. It's better. We're better for posting on it. We're better and our site is better and it's okay and good to wrap our identities up in it, to make this website the whole of our selves and the thing that sets us apart and makes us unique and allows us to look down on all the more successful, happier people we deal with every day.

One time a long time ago I noticed that almost everybody opens their video with "Hey guys!" or "What's up guys!" or "What's up Youtube" and I am just loving livid that I cannot stop being annoyed by it. Like, it's seriously one of the most annoying things about these people.

imo the only way to do it is a cold open, start the video already halfway through a sentence and don't provide a starting point for commentary at all, just launch straight in there, just go hog wild straight away from 0:00

Isn't that pretty much how Chip and Iro icus do it? Not launching straight into talking but giving the game a moment to establish itself and then just talking about whatever's happening.

To play devil's advocate, they could pretty easily say "this is the new system, enjoy" without allowing any sort of 'input'. Amazon does it all the time. At least this gives the vague impression of a choice.

\/ it sounds like this is only going to to the most special of snowflakes (ie the big money producers)

Yeah I'm not sure Don Corleone explaining how you're hosed with an arm around your shoulder while a couple of thugs brandish pipes in the background is preferable to the bank manager calmly denying you a loan, if you follow that metaphor.

Jon and Arin have at last appeared in a video together and joked around about Game Grumps for the finale of Jon's Star Wars media extravaganza adventure. It was a pretty good reveal. Now people can safely stop creeping on their lives looking for traces of their friendship being a miserable ruse that do not exist on subreddits such as conspiracygrumps.

Can, but won't.

My mind is boggled that the guy legit bought a Jim Sterling tshirt and donated a dollar to his patreon to prove that Jim did business in Arizona.

I mean, I'm loving boggled that the judge didn't just laugh off that lawsuit and threw it out in the first place. But jeeze, how vindictive do you have to be to do that?
