what was that brony con that was set up by 2 grifters and they had attendies "exchange" their money for pony bucks or whatever and it was a poo poo show and the griffters pulled the fire alarm and left and thats why like the voice actresses only did big cons because they were stuck there because and didnt have cash for flights back.

that would be the Las Vegas con, aka Las Pegasus, aka Sandys Wild Ride

it got bad enough 4chan actually hunted down active warrants for the organisers from previous con-jobs. Complete poo poo show

I seem to recall that the game started without even that and it was only added after people started asking “why can’t I send my radiation-proof friend into the radiation-filled chamber to do the thing that needs doing when I already did exactly that earlier in the main questline?” like they just didn’t think of it. Is that true, or am I misremembering?

It was definitely patched in that you could send the mutant into the room. I would guess because they wanted it to have a sacrificial ending, either yourself or one of your companions needs to go inside and get killed in the process.

'But what if we send in the guy who wouldn't die doing this.'
'No, that would be cowardice.'
'Can I send in the BoS companion to die instead'
'Sure you can. Coward.'

And in the process of checking, I found a note on the wiki that all companions are immune to radiation for gameplay reasons. So good work there, Bethesda

Nearly everything about DNF makes a lot more sense when you realize the project lead kept chucking everything they had into a garbage bin because this was his dream game and he wanted his dream game to have the absolute ultimate best graphics in the industry and I guess he was too busy with that to notice what happened with Daikatana.

IIRC what lead to DNF finally coming out was said lead dev pissing off his parent company one too many times which lead to them pulling the plug on the whole thing and standing by while Gearbox scooped up whatever was left.

A goon LP pointed out something that makes it even more fascinating- the fact that each level has SOMETHING in it that lines up with a specific year in recent history, meaning you can actually pinpoint exactly when they were working on each section based on what gimmicks or themes are present. Including somehow explicitly ripping off Half Life 1 and 2 gameplay at different points. It would be an interesting look into how games evolved during it's 10+ years of development... if it wasn't utter trash in every way.

The best thing about Detroit is that during the Best Friends LP, the guys (who absolutely hated the previous David Cage games) are legitimately enjoying themselves despite its many flaws... and then they get to a scene that starts dropping hints that the little girl is secretly a robot and you can just hear their souls leaving their bodies.

The SPFP run of Beyond Two Souls is still amazing, from a combination of losing their poo poo over the wacky David Cageness, and also calling out EXACTLY what would happen hours before it does.

Like in video one it's implied digital Elliot Page is wanted for treason over a CIA operation, and they guess 'African warlord they tricked her into killing'. Fast forward something like 12 hours later and-

Also this moment when they realise the game won't let them lose ever ('gameovers are a failure of game design') which just crystalizes the idea that Cage only makes his stuff have 'gameplay' under duress.

Dank is good, Frank is good, can recommend his other channels

Also his mate James (the chill car mechanic who helps rebuild wrecked cars) has his own channel. The first vid is making a portable SNES... and confirms that no, James isn't the 'sane man' of the duo, he's just a calmer form of chaotic.

I was just too old for Wiggles when they first came put, so the only thing I remember from that period is every woman over 30 thirsting for Cap'n Feathersword.

'He can shiver my timbers anytime' is burned into my brain.

I was expecting something related to that during the video, just from how Feathersword was introduced at the parks in his script.

I mean, conservatives were going to take credit regardless of how they performed. Anytime something they don't like underperforms in the slightest, it's because people are agreeing with them and are now boycotting woke media, and surely not because of *gestures at all sorts of plausible reasons why*

We saw this happen in real time with the Mario movie- it was getting blasted up to release, and I think underperformed on opening night. So you had a bunch of articles and cartoons about how the woke Mario movie (I think from Peach having agency and not being a prop to rescue and therefore... ?) and by extension Hollywood have been destroyed by being woke.

Then it started making bank and got decent/good reviews, so barely a week later the same people shifted to 'the chad Mario wrecks woke Hollywood'. There is no subtlety or self awareness for anyone banging on about the woke agenda.

I remember Jon Bois mentioning the 'img ###' search, pretty sure it was an ending bumper to a Chart Party but I have no idea which one. Basically-
"Thanks for watching. Want to see more cool videos? Me too, man... oh wait, actually theres a cool thing you can try, just put 'img' and a number, and you'll get random videos with no views. I think most are auto upload processes. I found one of a nature camera, which was recording a deer and a rabbit sharing a lettuce, which nobody else had every seen."

The subgenre of "Experts React" reaction videos is pretty fun because you get to hear some cool bits rather than just the "Dude, Pride Rock!" guy yelling at a screen.

Personal favourite is Jonathan Ferguson comparing video game firearms to his collection at the Royal Armouries:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kR9xeMU2uQ4

Insider also has a pretty fun "Historians React" series for films, but they can be a bit more hit and miss depending on the person reacting. Sometimes they're a curmudgeon, other times they're super enthusiastic and willing to let things slide for the sake of entertainment.

There's also this guy, an armour and arms historian who was asked to critique Warhammer media, and he rolls with it pretty well-

This is the one I make sure to show mates, since they never can guess the end result. Because it's the stupidest thing possible. Especially the 'what if it was a gun, but without the barrel or the chamber or the 'gun' part of the gun?'

Also bonus 'ideal for domestic terrorism' application at the end. Like the hidden Katyusha ute they've proposed in other videos.

I didn't peg anything weird with Man in Cave, it felt like a higher effort Rejected Sundance Film (the Swedish Job, the Gentleman Pirate, etc) which are along the same lines.

I was just showing the Tommy t house to a friend and it's uncanny how much it feels like a point and click adventure game house you would play on a cd rom on windows 95. Like you can click on the car and it will do vroom and you get a low res video of it driving away, beep beep. And you click on lara croft and she will do a little animation and digitizes voice clip about trapping you in the freezer, the dolphin at the koi pond will vomit water when you click, and each time you enter the Egyptian dining room you get the twang sound effect. Absolutely uncanny I love it
