Lazyfire posted:That said, I can't understand why anyone would want to track down a let's player like they are suddenly going to be best friends simply because the stalker really like the videos the LPer puts out. Well, LP'ers who put out a lot of content inevitable show a window into their lives. Chip Cheezum for example has had his dad for a video or two and talks about his life or events in them every so often. You end up feeling like you know the lp'er in question, but the truth is you don't, and that leads to them believing they can be easy friends.

forbidden lesbian posted:The idea of someone dry-loving a plastic doll while on a webcam is hilarious but I have a feeling pewthepie finds a way to gently caress it up. DSP would blame the manufacturer saying that the holes are bugged and that the belly button is too small. If he ever opens the box for it...

Slowbeef's LP of Dead to Rights is probably the first LP I remember watching (That prison level was the best), lurked the archives to pieces and then finally pony'ed up some cash to join. Nowadays I'm just angry at myself for not signing up sooner, I love this place.

Dr. Buttass posted:All that said, I can't actually confirm the truth of any of this because I don't know Arin myself, but if it is true I would totally believe that his physical and emotional state is so far in the shitter that he literally can't do his own animating. The last thing I watched by Egoraptor of my own initiative was Pokeawesome 2. "Okay, I'm done", and never looked back. That said, I'm sure he's still funny from time to time, and he's a good animator if he actually works at it.

These guys just hooked up a microphone and capture card and started bullshitting for 10~ mins. Yeah, and that's my point is that they didn't care. I mean, weird/obscure game or not, its the commentary/style of lp you provide that makes it worthwhile to watch. These two just phoned it in and expected it to get views because youtube LPs are trendy as gently caress right now.

bobjr posted:Doesn't PDP just make a whole lot of "lol random" montages now? Like I can see if you wanted to see a game you'd want someone who'd give a basic review in a mature manner, not some guy screaming over 10 second jump cuts. Even if PDP is familiar to people, I have a hard time figuring out why people would prefer watching him ramble over jump cut footage instead of a trailer/gameplay video/preview from an official source.

Brassherald posted:Basically, I doubt he is coming back, because on Youtube, he can delete and block negative comments, here, he has to be able to handle some criticism which has not been his forte on the site. This seems to be a common thing with recent examples from The Gaming God and Lordly Kitten. One would think that, by creating content for other people to enjoy, you'd want to receive feedback on what you produce and then improve on it.

Brassherald posted:We have a theory in the mock trial program I help out with that people don't understand what constructive criticism is anymore and that is the issue. We've had a few people complain that after a 3 hour trial, we give feedback of what needs work rather than everything that worked. The internet just makes this worse for some reason. The internet makes context of criticism (Or whatever the typed message is) a lot harder to discern. It's like receiving a text from your SO with the words "We need to talk". Having a visual or audible cue helps out tremendously with communication and, personally, I find the lack of it can lead to you surmising the wrong meaning to a message.

Lazyfire posted:I think part of that is that a lot of people expect "balanced" feedback in all aspects of life now. I know that desire gets associated with people in my generation all the time (I refuse to term anyone as a millennial as it's a kind of stupid label), but my 54 year old co-worker complains that when customers call her they only talk about what didn't work and never mention the things we delivered that did work. A lot of people think like this and it drives me nuts. This a million times. As someone who works and has worked in customer service, directly or indirectly, I've never expected someone to call me to tell me my solution(s) worked perfectly and I'm a stand up guy. I feel like it ends up being more about not being able to accept being wrong, with negative criticism contributing to that feeling.

RSCNyx posted:I still don't know what MGS did to him to make him hate Hideo Kojima so much. I'm not sure what to make of it. MGS doesn't have a function where it plays itself for you and makes it look like you're still in control. DSP refuses to read anything, even game critical text displayed on the screen forcefully. He just keeps forcing his way through the game and all his frustrations get directed at whoever published and/or produced. That above video has, at around 1:19:00, a segment where DSP needs to go get a new controller. He blames Sony for letting them publish a super hard game like Castlevania that made him rage and break his controller. You actually hear what sounds like him chucking it into a plastic bag, most likely the trash. The man has a skewed view on life and the only people/person I feel bad for are social workers who have to work with individuals like him.

HGH posted:Then there was a video with PsychedelicEyeball or someone else with a similar accent and the negative comments and backlash were ridiculous, death threats included. It's crazy how people react the moment something foreign shows up. I hear he's from Quebec, so he deserves it. J'espere que personne prend ca au serieux  I remember a similar thing happening with "The Spoony One" or just Spoony, whatever, where he was doing some videos on fighting game movies and he had a co-commentator by the name of Film Brain (I think). FB tends to really prolong the pronounciation of the last syllable which really caught the ire of Spoony's viewers and apparently they were sending death threats and the like. I personally don't like the way FB talks but I mean, death threats, really? It's just a silly video about Tekken or King of Fighters Jobbo_Fett fucked around with this message at 01:11 on Apr 13, 2014 |

^^^ His LP of Phantasmagoria 2: A puzzle of the flesh is hilarious. He seems to be put on the spot in some situations and he can be an rear end at times for sure, but I don't think he's one all the time. Boxturret posted:That's more Spoonies fans in general. I think his girlfriend was on a video once and they insulted her so much that she never made an appearance again. Can't say I can remember that moment but yeah, his fans can be a pain in the rear end sometimes. It's why I rarely, if ever, read/check the comments or post one myself. Spoony himself can be hilarious and I almost wish he'd bring Wrestle Wrestle back... almost.

Genocyber posted:Might have to do with the fact that his style of commentary is a very negative and aggressive one. Might be similar to how Retsupurae had/has fans that do poo poo like sending death threats to people they've rp'd. I think it's just a normal thing for LP'ers or Reviewers with a large following. Retsupurae, Thatguywiththeglasses, Spoony, PDP, DSP, and so on, they've all had some fans do crazy poo poo on their behalf. I don't know what's worse, that I think it's normal or that people actually send death threats...

Like i said i've not used Source Filmmaker so i'm just king of talking in broad strokes so maybe it's not so easy. Not everything is compatible with Source Filmmaker. And even then, Source Filmmaker came out in July 2012. Before that you had to use whatever you could to make videos/movies.

Kytrarewn posted:Leaving this here: http://youtu.be/88B7Q6_1Roc Personally, I really enjoy that sort of multiplayer experience. You can get into some really big alliances or rivalries with other players and it can end up having all the backstabbing and unexpected turn of events that a good drama can bring. It would make for a cool lan party, with players who get knocked out going to other, faster-paced games. Then again, it helps if you enjoy long (board) games like Axis and Allies.

Suspicious Dish posted:Says the guy who LPs adventure games, which are play-once, puzzle-it-out, and then you're done. Counter point, any Legend of Zelda adventure game. Some games are definitely better or have more value to them. It would be like saying Tetris is a poo poo game because it's just about figuring out how to form a complete line. I think, between purchases I've made of videogames that I had not seen a LP of and games I have, I have been much happier with my LP'ed games. And liking those LP'ed games gets me to check the other games in their catalogue which usually leads to more purchases.
