Arcsquad12 posted:What's everyone's opinion on Bennett the Sage? He reviews schlock anime from the 90s and early 2000s, and occasionally dips into some weird sketch comedy. He can strike a good balance between letting terrible OVAs speak for themselves and actually having some quite insightful moments. Unfortunately, this can also be frustrating, when he's discussing a show you might want a more in depth look at, and instead he goes for the poop joke instead. I like him but I sort of hate the whole running gag he has (had?) with Violence Jack. loving review it or don't. Although I have to give him massive credit for making GBS threads all over NGE because I watched that a few months ago and goddamn I couldn't agree with him harder about all of his points.

I know this happened to Total Biscuit one time during his podcast. I think it was about 2 1/2 or 3 hours long and because he used a minute long trailer for Pokemon X/Y Nintendo managed to claim the entire video and only they made money off of it.

ing myself that Shake it Off will be #1 on Todd's poo poo list. It completely fits his past #1 picks, in a specific way that no other song on the list does. Remember that Todd's #1 is never the actual worst song of the year, just the one that most closely fits his bizarre concept of ungood, or lets him make a point about how he feels about the artist. Shake It Off hits both options.

DeadBonesBrook posted:I was just coming here to complain about Joe using other peoples clips and hardly doing any reviews this year, but then I read the comments to the video and people were talking about some run in he had with Youtube over doing game reviews. Can anyone here elaborate on this, as I couldn't find anything about it (or has he just got lazy with Twitch streams). He's had a few rants about it. Most recently Nintendo claiming some footage he did and in the past I want to say Square Enix had him by the balls pretty bad as well. I can dig them up later but  Edit: Although he's done less reviews I'd say he's still been working though. I believe he streams games fairly often and since the popularity on doing that still hasn't peaked I don't blame him for maybe monetizing that over putting a ton of work into editing a review just to have it flagged for copyright.

lornekates posted:(And of course of course the only plot-important character lately has been Hyper Fan Girl. And I'll just leave my opinions about that one alone) I actually wanna hear what you and/or other people think. I think you can do stuff like Douchey McNitpick or Hyper Fan Girl as one-off characters to sort of jab at the obsessive parts of the fanbase but when you make it a recurring character it just feels rather mean spirited to me.

Dumb/bad as all the EU stuff in anything after the first film was The Matrix really is a landmark picture and basically revolutionized special effects. Critique of it is good and important but I think it does get a bit of a bum rap to an extent because of everything else that came afterwards. While not exactly the same Highlander sort of went through the same wringer. The original move is really goddamn good and everything else went off a cliff.

Gyges posted:The movie is literally about how doing this super fucks you up. I think there's one character who is present throughout the guy's tours who doesn't get killed, maimed, or appear to suffer from PTSD. This isn't a movie you come out of singing the Star Spangled Banner, unless you're, like, super hosed up. It at best will make you feel bad for all our soldiers who were wrecked by this. There's a guy literally missing his balls from the war. I still stand by saying that if you want to see one of the most hosed up war movies of all time watch Come and See but that's a bit of a topic for another thread, really. I think the thing is a lot of people have probably made up their mind about the film without even seeing it. I know my mother basically already has based on what Fox news told her to think about it

MonsieurChoc posted:So yeah, the game they played is incidental, they were just a group of players who think killing a newbie on his first game is fun. I've never played L5R but I can't even comprehend being this much of a dick to somebody for no reason really. If somehow I was ever in the position of the duelist and had to defend my ~honor~ or whatever I'd go for wooden or blunted swords at worst to maybe teach the offender a lesson, give him a scar of some sort, etc. Not just loving straight up murder a guy, especially if it's his first character in the setting.

I missed this stream but I seem to remember in their review of Mario Kart 8 they said everyone hates played with Jack because he's so goddamn good nobody else has any fun at all. senae posted:most triple a games are mostly derivative trash and most indie titles are simple/small enough to ignore the derivative portions, and tend to have some piece of innovation or good design that overshadows the rest. hth. I dunno, how many open world games are there with crafting elements these days? Or 8-bit styled platformers? Or roguelites? Just because something is derivative doesn't mean it's bad. I loved Darksiders for example and that was a mish-mash of God of War, Zelda, 40k and a few other things I'm forgetting. Tracula fucked around with this message at 20:57 on Jan 23, 2015 |

I'm not even offended by Hatred. It just hits a point where it wraps around to being outright silly and as Cyron pointed out they really need to police things like mobile games and early access more than offensive content. I mean he has a point about games like Postal and Manhunt already being on the service. Not saying that I don't get people being offended by Hatred and whatnot but I just sorta don't really care. It's controversey for the sake of it and as soon as the game actually comes out it'll fade into obscurity pretty fast after being the top seller for a week or so.

On a totally unrelated note. There's a podcast that I think seems somewhat relevant to the interests of this thread called The Worst Idea of All Time. Basically two guys (with the occasional guest) watch Grownups 2 every week for a year. So yes, they watch it 52 times. They're coming to a close pretty soon but it's well worth listening to it from the very start and hearing their descent into madness from watching this Adam Sandler "comedy" so goddamn many times.

I remember someone had a really good idea for a Lawful Good paladin in a TG thread that somewhat boiled down to him being a lot more jolly and not the typical stick-up-the-rear end sort.Tactical Bonnet posted:I need more amazing art from the amazing people in this amazing thread: Tactical Bonnet posted:The DM made a statement about the monotheistic god of my paladin's religion actually being a good god who's followers are just basically trying to make the world a better place. My plan is basically to spin it into a priest who used to run an orphanage (basically a youth pastor), but for whatever reason (probably something to do with the holy war in the neighboring countries) decides he needs to take a "more active" role in the happenings of the world around him.

Heroic Yoshimitsu posted:I found this to be a very odd video to watch. It's probably Spoony's direct complaining to the viewer about them never wanting to play lawful characters. Like saying, "Why do YOU always complain about this??" and being lectured about why you are wrong for not doing this. I don't know, it just feels off but to be fair I don't really watch Spoony videos besides the few recommended in here so maybe that's just his style. Spoony belittles his fans pretty often, it's nothing new.

They're what got me to find out about The Worst Idea of All Time podcast as I previously mentioned so they get credit for that at least. They're like anything really. Some of their content is good, some isn't  . Some of their headlines are clickbaity as gently caress but pretty much every website does that these days so I can't complain too much.

Holy poo poo. Just when I think MovieBob is the worst thing ever he somehow gets even shittier: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhYMAEBOR_4 The first six minutes of a twelve minute video are all dedicated to his awful skits and then he goes about making his point in the dumbest way possible. I like how he makes anyone who disagrees with his point the biggest dumbass strawman dudebro in every single video. I almost want to read his Super Mario Bro's 3 book just to see how much of a trainwreck it is.

Haha, gently caress you. The NPC you hate does it for you." DoctorWhat posted:No, Gunpei Yokoi was the creator of Metroid.  Jimbot posted:Sakamoto is a lot like George Lucas. He came up with the idea and people around him made something great but he got the credit. Other M is what happens when you give him full reign. A Miyamoto he is not. I'd compare him to John Romero in that regard. The original Quake was loving amazing but when he did his own thing with Daikatana well...
