Angry Joe has another run in with Copyright. This time it's Nintendo. Funny since I thought that after the incident and the stupid discussions (shout matches), they were okay with Let's Plays and reviews.

Still don't have any idea how people are quick to defend corporations when often the corporations in question often don't seem to care about the customers.

A fair number of Nintendo-heavy content creators who didn't wanna give up have been able find ways around it, either through editing or simply by just becoming a managed partner with their network. Seriously seeing how many of them were able to get managed status in the past year it doesn't seem as exclusive and rare as people originally said it was.

I don't know why he's not managed even though he's a part of a network, he's got a brand and he's made an issue every time this has happened to him before-

I'm genuinely sorry for the derail that's about to cause, but I had to get it off my chest. Like, I don't even think that's an entirely wrong point of view, I get the idea behind it, but I wish she would just come out and say it instead of this passive aggressive bullshit.

It's kinda been something they've been talking about as far back as their videos on Lego and gender from like, jeez it's been four years now I think? One of the things they touched on was how Lego wasn't emphasizing the creativity aspect of their products when advertising and focusing more on being able to load the canons/missiles/whatever and all the sudden you're creating weapons instead of just constructing something.

You know, this is the most animated I remember seeing her in a video. Still rather subdued, as is her style, but more emotive.

Seemed like she possibly wanted to talk more about Bayonetta but she ended up just rushing through most of it. I know Bayo is...tricky to talk about. I guess thank God for Quiet being a thing then.

I feel kinda bad for David Jaffe this week. Not in the sense that something bad has happened to him but that he seems like a guy displaced in time, or rather, he's never actually had to have a product he's personally made go through the wringer of "Modern" gaming internet personalities and it's hitting him harder than he expected.

Like the first God of War came out in 2005 juuuust before that brand of internet critiquing became really popular and I guess nobody really cared enough Twisted Metal in 2012 to really take it to task so he's never actually had someone roast a personal project of his before now and he was not prepared at all for it.

I liked that the Y-L vid brought up a point about how going into a different area/cell separate from an overworld has a specific feeling and is probably why BOTW and areas therein can seem small. Because everything in the game has to be open-air we can't get houses or caves with gigantic insides as easily as we could in a game that would just teleport you to another cell.

I do find it odd they chose a winter world with ice physics and the whole "Ice Level" package as the second world. It's like DK 64 all over again in how the first level was pretty okay, but tons of people dropped the game as soon as they reached the second world which was full of annoying "Desert Level" poo poo like stinging sand and timed puzzles and...basically more sand.

Jirard the Completionist was asked by his old co-host/friend to take down any videos that featured him and Jirard is complying. That's 120+ episodes that'll be gone from his channel in about a month.

Dude is promising to re-complete all those games he did though in future episodes, which means he'll be making six videos a month instead of four. He's dedicated I'll give him that. I just hope he's not overexerting himself. Some of those games were time-sinks the first time he went through them. Like dude I understand if you don't wanna go through DK64 again.

Lego doesn't gently caress around.

Or rather, this is probably LEGO acting because it's Star Wars related and that is a...very lucrative license for them which I guess brings this all back around to Disney.

But still this isn't like the dude was making videos of leaked marketing materials from China of an as of yet unannounced eight-hundred dollar Millennium Falcon these were sets he bought from a retail store. Like these are sets that are already showing up at retailers around the country.

Aside from that fake review furor, I've seen more people...or more specifically more anger from certain people over the game getting too many high scores than I've seen fans freak out over the actual eights and seven point fives some real reviews have already scored the game.

On a similar note, I've seen more people upset more people aren't in an uproar over the new mobile Animal Crossing game than I've seen people actually angry over it, if that makes sense.

Like for that first group of people, they're still upset that the game exists, that it has timers you can pay real life money to make go away faster. But they're more upset huge chunks of the gaming populace aren't joining them in their sentiment of being enraged over the game like when everyone got super pissed over Dungeon Keeper for iOS or that Final Fantasy: All The Bravest one.

The "Most misplaced take" would have to go to Angry Joe who started out his Last Jedi video going "THIS VIDEO WILL MAKE STAR WAR FANBOYS ANGRY BUT I DON'T CARE" even though the group most dissatisfied with the movie so far seem to be said fanboys. I guess he read the room wrong in that sense.

This new essay video on Jedi from McIntosh came out just a tiny bit too late I guess? At least I got that feeling in the last few minutes of the video where I thought he was going to mention how The Last Jedi tackles a lot of the things he points out but only mentions that he "Hopes" the new trilogy will take his thoughts into consideration. Like I know he says the video took three months to make, but that doesn't really change the fact there's already bunch of similar takes out there about the Jedi hosed their own order over. The biggest one being The Last Jedi itself, yeah?

YouTube may be going tits-up for pretty much every small to mid and so content creator but the upside I guess is that this also includes the TRUTHER community who finally seem to be getting videos removed/blocked and their channels shut down for hate speech and the like.

I dunno if that tumblr was updated since I last saw it, but another lolDougWalker thing that should be mentioned is him starting the #REACT #WTFU or where is the fair use when his channel got demonetized then basically hopped off as soon as the channel got monetized again.

It seems so long ago since that happened, or at least seems like it happened years back when it really only started around the beginning of 2016, like three to four years after YouTube really started putting Content ID to work and even more in regards to it just being hard for things to always stay stable on the site.

Like pretty much everyone could see he was only making noise at that moment because Blip had shut down the year prior and YouTube was the "Best" place for him to focus on.

Also that he was dumbfounded it happened to him over a positive review of a Ghibli movie like he had been away from the YouTube game for so long he couldn't wrap his head around why a positive video would get a strike or the footage blocked. It was like he had generally assumed only negative videos ever got taken down or something up until that point.
