This Kyle Bosman character and Tim Rogers definitely exist on the same axis of guy with the slider set to nerdy on Kyle and cool on Tim.

Oops looks like i typoed "pretentious" as "cool". Again!

On the subject of a new video (which we should just start calling The L.A. Noire Video because that's what it's going to be, right?), i guess we didn't get an announcement last week? Well there's another chance tomorrow. Is he going to do it? Let's find out!

These videos are very expensive to make, the only way to do it is buy Hobbit cameras and fly to multiple cities multiple times. There's barely enough left over to live rent free in your girlfriend's apartment

Subconsciously i read that last sentence as

A Tim Rogers in another timeline is making one one-hour-video per month but we are living in the better continuity. In that universe he probably has to pay rent too.

It's fair to resent tim for the many ways in which he lives rent-free. But the impact of that on the quality of the content, is yet unseeable

I’m trying to find this old blog post that I think was written by Tim? It was in the days of FarmVille and that sort of mobile game. It was about the absurdity and addictive nature of those games. The blog had multiple parts. The first part was a sort of a dialogue about a fictional game, but the one of the last parts was about Sims Mobile.

Does that ring a bell for anyone? I’m not even sure it was written by Tim, it was definitely way before Tim Rogers was a thing.

Sounds like an interesting read, could be something by another new games journalist, but who even are they. All i could unearth was this video of Farmville "tips" from a thread hilariously titled "Tim Rogers: why the hate?"

Games™? A magazine I always used to get confused with EDGE, since they both came in that glossy upmarket format.

Tim has had at this point a couple of different blogs on a couple of different sites. The older stuff is only accessible through the wayback machine now. Like that one FFVII review he wrote.

I have zero idea how you'd go about finding anything through that, though, iirc navigating sites through the wayback machine is kind of a pain.

Kyle Bosman has been awfully quiet since y'all professed to "just watch Kyle Bosman now". Curious...

btw that who killed videogames? (a ghost story) was a great read, thank you! Looking forward to following it up by reading the Action Button Dot Net review of The Sims Social.
