Plus he's a really nice person who is grateful for his fanbase and respects them and also isn't a fuckin neo-nazi. We were literally reminded not half a page ago to stop bringing up politics FFS. I like this thread, I always enjoy more LPer recommendations. Speaking of, I quite enjoy HellfireComms. https://www.youtube.com/user/HellfireComms They've been active for about nine years and are currently mid-way through an LP of Simpsons Hit and Run.

HOOLY BOOLY posted:I mean the stuff Doug made right after he said he was going to abandon Nostalgia Critic was very meh if i remember correctly. That probably also had something to do with the huge backlash against it. Demo Reel was average at best, and that's being polite. Its big issue was that the fans weren't hooked and TGWTG was struggling to keep its head above the water.

Kibayasu posted:Noah is a good guy/channel. Right now he's being a modern day electronics hippie and doing the videos from on the road in a old VW camper bus with his wife and dog. And I think he plans on doing that until he doesn't want to any more, or unless Patreon stops being a good source for him. Noah would probably be one of my favorite analysis dudes on YT if he learned to edit his goddamn audio. Seriously, the man eats up all the tolerance I build up for people coughing and sniffling in public whenever I watch one of his videos. Also, Many a True Nerd is a cool dude, albeit one of those guys who needs to do specialist challenges or runs. For example, his current Skyrim series has a flat rule of "no bows unless it's to solve a puzzle." He's also playing on the highest difficulty, where the only way to keep up with the BS damage resistances of enemies is to go down Stealth Archery. It makes for a boring series. But his videos on Hitman are top notch. They're a good 70% of why I finally bought that game.

I'm honestly not a huge fan of these recent DSP videos Beef is making. Largely because I feel the original DSP video worked because of its brevity- it was short and concise, did what it had to do and didn't waste time. This just dragged on like a HBomberguy video, and was about as good for my mental health. I just don't get the thought process behind "The DSP video worked due to being less than ten minutes. I'm gonna drag it out to several hours and utterly ruin the joke!"

Samovar posted:I heard that a Nick Robinson from Polygon was in hot water. What's that about? I ask here because I'm genuinely not wanting to jump into the inevitable shite opinion pieces that'll come up on Google. Nick's being accused of creeping on some women on Twitter DMs. AFAIK, no actual evidence of this has been aired to the public outside of a glorified "he said she said" from his Polygon comrades. He's been suspended pending a formal investigation, but tons of people are already cutting ties with him before any official verdict comes through. From what's been going around, this has been A Thing people knew of for some time. The amount of people all mirroring each other in their comments on Nick has me thinking there's merit to it (And after Devin Faraci and Matt Hickey I'm inclined to believe that most male games journalists have a few sexual assault victims in their closets), but I'm holding off on condemning him until I see the DMs myself. Also, I really wouldn't take NeoGAF's word on anything given how they're now 40-odd pages into accusations about Nick while they barely said a word about Amri0x, their mod that was charged for possessing child porn.

EDIT: tldr for the tweets is that he asked for nudes through an optical illusion, while another was him flirting (Badly) with a girl who'd just turned 18. Not quite pedophilia since everyone could consent, but close enough that I can see why some people are overreacting beyond just wanting a target to hunt for fearmongering. It also depends on if this is a Romeo and Juliet case where he waited for her to turn 18 before flirting. I didn't watch Nick's stuff, but I feel like the witch hunt that was today was a bit much, especially since most of it was going on before any solid proof was public. Then again, I detest callout culture in general, so all this did for me was validate my opinion that these kinds of callouts get nothing done. Either way, between Nick, Devin Faraci, Matt Hickey and Robert Marmojo, I'm wondering how many other gaming journos have skeletons in their closets and who's next. Patton Oswald's tweet about "male feminists being predators is this generaton's conservative politician who's in the closet" comes to mind.

If this is the hill CampoSanto want to die on, fine. Any company that openly expresses the wish to abuse DMCAs is one I can get behind never legally supporting. I don't support Pewds saying the word, but there's a big difference between abusing the law (and going back on your own word given how Campo Santo give carte blanche on their website to stream or LP their games) and saying a racial slur. One's retarded and makes you look like a fool, the other's retarded and has grounds of being illegal.
