lornekates posted:"The Internet" No, it's very clearly Bravest of the Lamps. It's what he does, and been banned from multiple subforums for. There is a even very hard and demonstrateable shift in the quality of discussions between the month he was probated and after his return. The thread is actually generally very civil, except for one poster that has been proven at every occassion to be absolutely toxic to any conversation and just drags the thread into try to make them see common sense for entire pages at a time. The only one winning in that situation is BoTL's smug sense of superiority, because he will always argue in bad faith. Try the flipside if it helps to understand us; What does BoTL actually contribute to the thread aside from toxic opinions and derails?

If you want to see internet people setting up their own studio space done right, have a look at what LoadingReadyRun have managed with their latest Moonbase; They've got three studios and have made really amazing use of limited space for a lot of different streamed shows. Even with the move being funded by Patreon backers (or a donation drive, I can't remember which off the top of my head) because they lost the lease on the old location, pretty sure they managed it all for a lot less than whatever amount got set fire to for the Channel Awesome warehouse that is mostly vacant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UI-84tGhFyU

business hammocks posted:Did they make Brad improvise all those wretched jokes, or did Doug lovingly prepare each one? Either way, that’s the most miserable he’s ever seemed on a youtube video. Probably Blip too. Reputedly any time there's a crossover involving Doug Walker, he'll be the one to write most of the script.

business hammocks posted:There’s something in here about the best films adapted from novels being those that change mediocre source material in ways that serve the unique aspects of the medium of film. That’s probably different from calling something a good adaptation. Pretty sure that's the very definition of an "adaptation".

business hammocks posted:People don’t really discuss Jaws or The Godfather as adaptations. Lord of the Rings is in kind of a different category there. Like, it’s a big part of how the movies were authorized and funded and sold, and so it’s baked into the production, marketing, and reception. Unless maybe people do discuss Jaws and The Godfather as adaptations and I just am not a part of those conversations. That's more because people were aware of those movies first rather than the books. In LOTR's case, the books were already very widely known and loved. They are still, by definition, adaptations.

Doctor Spaceman posted:Seeing your partner killed and your son kidnapped right in front of you isn't a premise that lends itself to meandering across the countryside. It'd be one thing if the game started months or years after that incident (you know what I mean) but the writing, voice acting and mechanics don't reflect the fact that the PC is going through unimaginably emotional trauma. It also goes to great lengths to try and paint you as a good upstanding person in Fallout 4. Instead of the cannibalistic maniac wielding a flaming bayonet most players are.

NikkolasKing posted:New Vegas starts with you getting robbed and murdered and everyone you talk to acts like your motive is tracking down Benny for revenge. I think that's a pretty provocative opening and "goal"? Not any weaker than your partner dying and child being abducted. The problem between that and Fallout 4 is a difference in overall tone; New Vegas starts and ends at "you got shot in the head, didn't die, the guy that did it is New Vegas, have fun". Fallout 4, in contrast, goes to great lengths to establish your character as some wholly decent american soldier who did his time/was a lawyer, settled with a family, and is a fine upstanding person of moral fiber. Even when you're setting people on fire by the dozen just so you can take their stuff.

RareAcumen posted:Not a movie, but it was probably that 'How much diversity is enough?' video he made where basically- this was years ago, so I'm probably forgetting a lot- the discussion was about Scarlet Johansen in the Ghost in the Shell movie and how people in the US were pissed, since that's a movie totally about Japan and they're whitewashing it by having Scar Jo as the Major and then it goes to the point of absurdity where he's asking if they have to get a gay trans woman if Matt and Trey want to keep Mr. Garrison in episodes of South Park. And I'm fairly sure, but not 100% that he might've brought up Gorilla Grodd or Winston from Overwatch and ask if they can't have people voicing them and they have to be voiced by an actual talking gorilla. That is the weirdest loving defense to take with that movie. Especially considering several of the main cast are played by Japanese actors with unchanged character names. Speaking Japanese throughout the film. Scarlet Johanson as Mira "Major" Killian couldn't have been more egregious if they tried. And that's not even including the frankly-awful script. I will say though, for all the movie's terribleness, Beat Tanaka was loving awesome as Aramaki  .https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRS4tYeeouA

Alaois posted:not awesome enough for you to remember his name, apparently gently caress it, wrong Beat  . Takeshi Kitano.a medical mystery posted:There could be a very interesting movie adapting the original GitS' story about body/mind identity into a story about cultural identity when the diaspora of a culture integrates into another society, but new-GitS sure as hell isn't it. Part of what made Ghost in the Shell interesting is that a full prosthetic body it's not some new fancy prototype; Batou's also a full-body cyborg, and you see all kinds of people dealing with the same thing throughout the series and films. One of the scenes in the original film is just watching the Major traveling through the city, seeing various women in the crowds with identical prosthetic bodies to her own. Even the live-action film dumbs down the body itself, because "ooh she's still human underneath all the cybernetics and and   " rather than just being a brain in a fully-artificial body. How much of her can Motoko truly say is still human? Is the brain in her head actually her own brain? She's never seen it, she only has the surgeon's words to believe that it really is her brain in her head and not a computer processor that just thinks its human.

TheMaestroso posted:Just checked, and there are currently 18 people listed on the site as producers (technically there should be no more than 17, because Nash announced he's leaving). We're getting close to a third left of the amount of people on the site when this whole thing started. It's getting to the point the whole business is just about done if it keeps up, because staying looks more and more like solidarity with the Walkers and Michaud than just staying for views/community.

Motto posted:Superbunnyhop did (another?) VR video, and it's shockingly positive coming from him. Price ranges are gonna have to fall way, way down for that stuff to be more than something that exists out there, I guess for me though. VR is still very much in the enthusiast range, but the stand-alone headsets should help in the long-term. Part of what helps is just getting something out that can be mass-produced, so as to streamline production on (and improve upon) the kinds of parts that weren't available cheaply even just a few years ago. There's also a lot of disparate technologies that're only just now starting to be brought together like foveated rendering and the Vive's wireless adapter. Even the Vive Pro's just a glorified dev kit for things like the pass-through cameras.

corn in the bible posted:the price of headsets ignores the other price, which is a 3d adapter that can handle the tech You kinda missed the part about "stand-alone headsets helping get the price down with mass-production of parts". But yes, right now the other big barrier to entry is needing a good gaming PC and graphics card.

Leal posted:Not quite, according to social blade each year he brings 42.5k to 680k a year. But if you add in merchandise and sponsorship deals he probably teeters close to a million. Thats the thing, there are all these videos of "The DEATH of Channel Awesome?!?!" but... its not. I mean, sure Channel Awesome the concept, that being a website meant to have multiple reviewers and not be all about Doug, may die. But Nostalgia Critic is going to hum along just fine as he has cultivated a large audience who has been with him for a long time. We have no illusions about Doug's shows carrying on regardless, but Channel Awesome itself is another matter. Just how it would look from general public perception, by no means intended as personal insult, when the talent pool drops as sharply as it already has it starts looking less like "some people have left of their own volition" and more like "they are siding with Doug Walker" as the remaining number of critics drops. Which puts pressure on those remaining, even though they're just keeping their heads down and avoiding the whole drama. There's zero possibility of new talent coming in, because the well is well and truly poisoned now so, if/when the remaining critics depart, Channel Awesome as an aggregator and brand is done.
