Let Russ run the PUBG and other streaming events. He's comedy and entertainment poison, and I say that with love and respect.

8-Bit Scholar posted:Polygon sucks, is what I'm trying to say. If you wanna listen to a podcast of gaming "journalists" who have actually been in the industry for a number of years chatting in-depth on games, just listen to the Game Informer show. Yes I can only consume one medium regarding a single subject! You've saved me from having to listen to people who succeed at entertainment versus information. Thanks 8-Bit Scholar.

Kaewan posted:Wow I had no idea Nick was such a creepo, loved carboys. Good on polygon for doing something about it. Monster Factory is really good too, but yeah the Nick + Griffin stuff was gold but I really don't want to touch it right now because some of the jokes were kinda gross in context.

Polygons writing and creative staff have public views that align with my own, so I can trust their review of a game to subjectively be similar to my own.

Sometimes I think Polygon's writers huff farts too, but I don't feel it's a very interesting opinion. Some of the reviews, and especially the written ones, are a bit pretentious for the medium they're regarding, so I don't always agree with Polygon's reviews. Penny Arcade decided that was a hot enough take to make a few cents per hundred clicks.

Ariong posted:It would be inappropriate for Inzombiac to do anything about that. That would be disrespectful to the victims of the harassment. It's not Inzombiac’s fight. Whoa take it easy I was not saying that either. I'm saying pming Nick is dumb and uncool regardless of the reason. But I assumed he was joking, too, which I seem mistaken about.

Russ is disastrously bad at PUBG. I simultaneously love and hate it. "Actually, I prefer the UZI." - an idiot. Also lmbo at the Justin and Griffin exchange (random group chatter) Justin: Sh-uh-- I can't hear the world, guys... Griffin: Oh, you want me to get out my loving acoustic guitar when you can't hear the world?! Wasabi the J fucked around with this message at 00:46 on Jan 26, 2018 |

Shinjobi posted:Griffin is a big butthead during awful squad though. Half of the fun I've had in the streams is watching Russ nearly cause a complete meltdown in Griff. Intentional? Maybe. Hilarious? To me, yes. Yes I can't get enough of how much they're only held together by a thin veneer of professionalism.

Sometimes the sex jokes make me a little bit uncomfortable but it's mostly farcical and about fictional dudes not real people. That is my Polygon show sentiment.

There's a bunch of stuff on Polygons YouTube channel that quietly dissolved so I'm not too worried about them cancelling a few projects by putting a bow on them.

Shinjobi posted:Conventions are so loving awful in terms of sickness. They never fail to infect at least one of your friends. Never ignore the orange juice, y'all. Vitamin C doesn't help. Wash your hands; act under the assumption everyone else was just scratching their own rear end in a top hat; and STOP TOUCHING YOUR GODDAMN FACE. You can still catch some airborne diseases but the average person touches their face almost three times a minute, and you're usually not washing properly between contact with strangers. I worked security at a large Vegas hotel resort, and these tips kept me healthier than my co-workers. Wasabi the J fucked around with this message at 15:57 on Jul 12, 2018 |

dogsicle posted:i would probably agree with this just on the basis that polygon content has had way too many fetish bits and a kind of low level horny on main vibe that would only get more uncomfortable as more of these assaults come to light. like if there isn't some shift in tone it is just way too weird for me to have people doing piss bits or talking about how bowser and mccree are sexy at the same place where a bunch of people have been getting away with sexual assault. I'm kinda over the Polygon show because I feel like I'm intruding into a safe space that is also problematic in it's own ways. They say some poo poo that absolutely is not okay and fail to acknowledge when it happens, so it feels a lot like the str8 girls club sometimes.

Mode 7 posted:Would you mind elaborating on the sorts of things they say that feel problematic? This isn't some sort of weird challenge callout or burden of proof thing, I'd just like to hear your perspective and educate myself a bit more. They say a lot of things about dudes that feel unnecessarily sexualized, which I get uncomfortable with because I couldn't imagine saying the same things about women being okay. Sexual humor at Polygon always inhabits this weird place where its abstracted, to the point of being absurd, and that doesn't bother me nearly as much as when they start sounding very earnest about what cranks their engine. Maybe it's not a fair comparison, because of male privilege, but for instance, they described in depth an experience at a con in Japan doing one of those host club things. I didn't mind terribly, and then I imagined being a male co-host, and couldn't imagine a single moment that he would be welcome to say anything without sounding like a complete weirdo. Quest For Glory II posted:I mean it's not the straight girls club, this is literally Simone's twitter av Yeah and yet she rarely (if ever) says the kind of uncomfortably raunchy poo poo about some other woman that she does about dudes.

Stroop There It Is posted:I'll be honest, some of the stuff they say about dudes makes me uncomfortable, but it isn't equivalent to guys talking about women the same way because of the inherent societal power differential. This isn't in a vacuum, it's in a world where men sexually objectifying women has a lot more violent and harmful poo poo associated with it than the reverse*. This is pretty much why I stayed silent about it before and jokingly called it the "str8 girls club" and only remarked that it made me uncomfortable, not that it needed to be shut down or something. eke out posted:is your criticism of the all-women show really "wow, what a double standard, a MAN wouldn't be allowed to say this" because it sounds like concern trolling That wasn't quite what I was getting at but the sarcastic poo poo is very constructive. I just said some of the poo poo they say about dudes is very weird and makes me feel alienated; I was pressed to explain my feelings and I'm just trying to figure out the right way to describe it? drat this is kind of pissing me off because I even explicitly acknowledge that poo poo is different in society for men and women and that it wasn't a great loving comparison and yet you still had to be crappy just because.

I don't want video game journalism on the YouTube channel. There's a lot of that available elsewhere. I want video game adjacent entertainment on the YouTube channel. That's the transcendent content that we all loved.

Vox squanders all it's stars for playing it safe. WHERE'S JON BOIS? Ironically SB Nation has some of the more interestingly made poo poo about subjects I usually don't find myself caring about.
