Confirmed at least one furry on the Smash team
My first exposure to Tim was watching the Doom review, and I thought it was interesting watching the whole history of the game and Id. But half-way through, I stopped to watch a different review, and I was weirded out by the way he talked. I figured his weird deep, kinda stilted mode of talking was an affectation to mirror the macho, edgy temperament of Doom comics & media. But he kept talking that way. And then I checked out one of the videos he made for Kotaku (maybe the FF7 stuff?), he talked like a normal human! So... that's just how he wants to talk in reviews. And it really makes you feel each hour of the review.

I didn't really dislike the reviews I watched, but at a certain point in each, I just became detached from whatever topic he segued into, and then wanted to stop watching. I don't get if people genuinely like watching his videos, or are just fascinated by his... methodology?

Tim mentioned he read Neuromancer 3 times, but if he remembers everything, why would he need to read a book more than once? Take that, Tim-heads!

Okay, watching this Twitch stream for a while, I’m really not getting what other people seem to get from watching Tim. Not making GBS threads on him, the CYOA review is a cool idea, but watching the chat people are laughing and amazed at the bits he’s doing, while I’m just kinda… Listening to him ramble about the Genesis games he played and the formatting of the review. I get that the rambling verbosity and over explaining concepts is a bit, but doing it over and over stops being funny, and just actually becomes monotonous.
