e X posted:PvP is dumb as it is in pen and paper, but attacking an another character basically immediately after character creation over dumb in-game poo poo is even dumber. Is there more to L5R, or is it just Weeaboo the Game? L5R's setting is essentially 'Game of Thrones, with Samurai' and the RPG actively encourages/rewards players who join in with all the politics that entails, making PvP in general a really Horrible Idea. It's a pretty cool little franchise overall and the fan-base seems to actively repel Weeaboos from my personal experience.

Dittoing that Baywatching is making me want to watch Baywatch unironicly more and more. I don't think it really got shown over here in the UK and so we only have references to it in other shows to base our perceptions of it on, which all point to "Sexy people running in slow motion" than "Utter batshit insanity".

A while back there was a really great video about the relationship between internet personalities and the audience that I think was posted in the last iteration of this thread, but for the life of me I can't find it. Would anyone know who made it, or have a link to it?

I really dig Rap Critic, dude knows his stuff and even when he's being negative he takes the time to explain and explore his position in an informative and entertaining way. That breakdown of how terrible Flatline is was amazing. Mues on the other hand is hot garbage, dude has a terminal case of Internet Reviewer-itis and seems like a genuinely unpleasant dude from his videos.

I watched TB back when he started covering WoW: Cataclysm, which was the catalsyt for dragging me kicking and screaming back into Blizzard's hands. I always thought his attitude was just a gimmick like Yahtzee, but after that drama where he swore off Blizzard games 4 EVA over... Blizzard making older content a mite bit easier for the 99% of people who aren't world first raiders I just clocked out on him. His attitude through the entire thing was peak TB smugness and was super off putting, finding out he'd been carried through the content he was apparently so vehemently against being nerfed and him jumping on the SC2 commentry bandwagon were just icing on the cake. And tbh, I can live in a world where every video doesn't start with 20mins of jerking off in the options.

A friend of mine linked some "Top 10 Cringy DSP Moments 2016" video a little while ago and I was struck at just how petty and indignant it was. Amongst actually embarrassing stuff (the bizarre Staycation he did with his gf and the jerking off on stream incident), most of the entries were really just Phil saying a dumb thing, yet the video and the comments were making them out to be THE WORST THING EVER SAID, especially when it was DSP saying he didn't like a certain game. The bizarre moralising and indiginity reminded me so much of how creepos on the CWCiki used to talk about Chris-Chan. Trying to justify their searing, obsessive hatred of someone really not worth the effort of bothering with under a guise of moral righteousness. It was almost like they were... signalling just how more... virtuous they were.

The last time I saw a guy "review the reviewers" though wasn't pretty. Quite bitter and I think the guy went up to Spoony's house when he was still in the middle of his breakdown.* Just noticed that Australian fellow, in the footage, what did he do on the site again? That Aussie Guy? From what I remember he was a early hire on TGWTG and his content wasn't... great, at all. After the first anniversary event, a couple of other producers mentioned he was kinda a pushy dickhead, then something happened and he was fired. I can't recall if whatever it was ever went public, but the dude went on a LordKat style "Obsessively bitch about TGWTG, try to occasionally harass producers" thing before just dropping off the face of the earth. Also, what was the name of the first guy who tried that Reviewing the Reviewers shtick? I remember he was a major trainwreck with a chip off his shoulder as well.

Good video, agreed on the episode using it's time well. imo, a lot of Nu-Who has a chronic problem with underexploring points that should be explored, while spending too much time on stuff that either turns out to be red herrings or just not interesting at all. This was a welcome change of pace. Also, the tide of fuccbois crying at Dr Who even mentioning the idea that history might be the slightest bit whitewashed was incredible.  Yardbomb posted:If everything else people have said didn't give you enough reason to not give Mister Metokur a benefit of the doubt, he is in fact one of the current breed of meltybrained /pol/ shitheels, "Abloo bloo feminism, I'm RATIONAL" and all that. I wouldn't be surprised at how low they'll likely go when it starts coming to any women or ~essjewz~ aligned guys. It's a shame the only people who seem to be making these kinda videos are complete shitlords, it'd be kinda interesting to watch a retrospective on the entire TGWTG/ Internet Reviewer thing. Y'know, provided it doesn't dive into a good old round of THE SJWS RUINED EVERYTHING FOREVER.

DS3 definitely feels the safest of the Souls games, seemingly out of a bad reaction fans had to the experimental stuff in DS2. Still a good game when compared to others, but a weak game compared to the other Souls titles. Bloodborne still the best by virtue of them shaking up the Souls formula so vigorously. I don't get the bitterness Matthew seems to exhibit for it in that video, he seems really dismissive of the more aggressive playstyle and smaller, but more tightly designed weapon sets.

Also him and Shoe still pretty happily pal around with the super toxic types like Blair White, Sargon et al. The problem is while they don't actively take part in the worst parts of the anti-sjw circlejerk, they don't exactly condemn it either and come off enabling/endorsing said shittiness through silence. Natural to see why the rationalisation of 'they're the most reasonable' is a little hard to swallow.

Darth Walrus posted:"Cultural appropriation", as I understand it, is using another culture as artistic raw materials without giving the original creators the proper respect and credit. I've mostly seen it contrasted with 'cultural exchange', where that level of respect exists. Given that it's a pejorative, I'm not sure that there can, be definition, be 'good' appropriation - indeed, most of the stuff I've seen saying 'no use of stuff from anyone else's culture ever' seems to come from racists trying to muddy the waters and discredit a useful term. The analogies I like to use for this topic are War Bonnets for Appropriation and Tikka Masala for Cultural Exchange. It really comes down to "Ask a person of that culture if it's okay to use/modify *thing* and don't act like a gross tourist about it/try to claim it as your own."

Arcsquad12 posted:You're thinking of Storm of Chaos Warhammer fantasy. The event was a global campaign where games workshop wrote the story to correspond with victories mailed in by players. Was supposed to be a major Chaos invasion by Archaeon the Everchosen, except that the chaos players got soundly defeated. Games workshop decided to even the odds by assuming orc players would side with chaos, but orc players are like orcs, so they said screw it, organized themselves online and started stacking victories against chaos. So with the whole campaign being a dud Games workshop said screw it, teleported Archaeon to Altdorf to have a final battle with the empire... only for Grimgor Ironhide the orc warlord to come and sucker punch Archaeon before he could strike a killing blow. The orcs then declared themselves the victors for this dick punch and then ran off laughing. Sucker 'eadbutt!  Grimgor wuz da best

SatansBestBuddy posted:wait wait wait hold up Kinda sorta, depended on the campaign. A lot of the time GW would just shrug and hash out "Oh the evil guys won but the good guys held on and everything's back to status quo" which naturally pissed people off, so instead they started going for smaller scale campaign settings (Medusa V, Nemesis Crown) that people were indifferent about and just dropped the entire thing for a few years. Recently they brought the concept back with last Summer's 'Season of War' and the literally just ended 'Fate of Konor'. Both times the good guys won, but GW seems to keeping good with keeping the full results in mind as they write the updated narrative (i.e for Season of War, good guys won with Chaos a very close second, so the good guys have established 3 new strongholds and pushed Chaos back in that particular realm, but said cities are full of cults and poo poo's about to go down again).
