This is still my favorite thing TB has ever written: http://www.reddit.com/r/Cynicalbrit/comments/1xrx27/in_light_of_tb_abandonning_his_own_subreddit/cfe3rgc I shall quote the most relevant thing so you don't have to read it. quote:I've read so many people with their "advice", oh... you should get a thicker skin! You should just ignore it! Those people have no idea of the volume of it all, or how constant it is, it never stops, it's day in day out 24/7, no end in sight noise. So many people talking at once... It's death by a thousand cuts. That thick skin isn't invincible, occassionally it buckles and when it does I tend to react badly. I'm not sure you actually understand just how hosed up I am. My hair is going grey, not to mention it's falling out. Yeah, my hair is grey at 29. Great right? I'm pretty sure I have chronic health problems that have been made far worse by stress. I'm even worried one of them might be life-threatening and I'm getting really paranoid about it. I loving eat because I'm sad or angry or whatever, I have days where what should be a dream job is something I don't even want to think about doing. This is before he found out he had cancer and GamerGate was a thing. But oh, it's about ethics in journalism, it's not about harassing people on and outside of the internet.

Ramagamma posted:Yay, shaming people for visting doctors, arn't we a gaudy bunch. More like shaming him before not going to see one earlier when he had such severe health issues, instead of blaming them on mean internet comments. And then he became part of a hategroup that goes far beyond mean internet comments not even a year later.

I don't get the impression that we are disliking him just for being popular, Ramagamma.

It gets used in MOBAs frequently too, because people like to blame their teammates for everything when they really should have taken a break two losses ago.

If this Clickhole article doesn't get a passing mention on the next recording of Idle Thumbs I will be mildly disappointed: http://www.clickhole.com/article/someone-overdubbed-godfather-donkey-kong-soundtrac-2894

Opposing Farce posted:That dude is really salty about some IGN guy getting a relatively innocuous fact wrong. It's almost as dumb as actually judging IGN's podcasts one thing one dude said on a podcast. I mean, it was even about video games. It's not like he suddenly went "also, the holocaust never happened".

Ramagamma posted:Fallout 4 sold more copies than Super Mario 64, that's both hosed up and frightening. If you ignore that quite some time has passed since then and that it was exclusive to a single console*, then yes, it is. *I'm assuming that when looking at sale numbers they don't include the DS version.

...and this is the story of how I hooked up my external HD and spent the next two hours browsing my VGM collection. I have only embedded my favorites, since I don't want to bog this thread down. I could have gone far deeper, this is just the tip of the iceberg (oh ho ho). Advance Wars: Dual Strike - Sasha's Theme https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SraDJKWFKpk The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - The Streets of Whiterun https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qo3VAltxlr8 (I like Jeremy Soule) Icewind Dale - Kuldahar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9y96Y2JE5F8 (I really, really like his music) Kingdom Hearts series - Twinkle Twinkle Holidays https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndEaDcb_A5I (I think this is not featured in a game, it's an orchestral medley by the composer) Kameo: The Elements of Power - The Snow Tribe http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6hMP9L7IMg (I never grew up on Rare games besides DKC, but I'm a sucker for their soundtracks) lumines remixes winter - deck the halls https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CE6zHWfSMU0 Odin Sphere - Battle on the Snowy Mountain ~ Second https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfh5ErHVq0s Outcast - Ranzaar (World of Snow) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=norQ7wz4WVg (This is a long song for what is essentially the tutorial planet, dayum) Panzer Dragoon Orta - Eternal Glacies https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQOJad431L0 (This one works far better in context I'm afraid) Pokémon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum - Snowpoint City (Day) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7FkBLIZThY Sam & Max Season 2 - Unholy Workshop https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLiis2buaQo Suikoden V - Ruins Locked in Ice and Snow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfOZf3tZWlI Tekken 5 - Frozen Paradise https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dtTUMYJliY WoW: Wrath of the Lich King - Howling Fjord https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LS3pmLmFg6I Mierenneuker fucked around with this message at 12:16 on Dec 26, 2015 |

Tom Chick used to do a game blog for SyFy and it felt like he actively was trying to look for flaws in praised games and moments of gold in pieces of poo poo. It was almost like he was writing material to troll people on the internet. You could have dropped a link to one of his pieces on any random forum and it would have probably gotten a reaction.

I must have missed that one, but I'm sure they must have talked about Motoi Sakuraba. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JWAGs7zkwo But yeah, sticking to Uematsu, I unironically love this song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUjxPj3al5U That is Deep Purple's Ian Gillan.
