It made me double lol when he turned out to be exactly the kind of guy, in appearance and manner, who would call themself 'Razorfist' and expect to be taken seriously. If I was every trying to do a douchebag persona online as some youtube ranter rear end in a top hat I doubt I could do it as well in jest as xRazorfistx does genuinely.

I know he's done a bunch of GG-related stuff recently (quelle surprise, he's a Gater) but it's mostly all quiet on the drama front since he had a run in with Encyclopedia Dramatica in which he got doxxed and pranked with a load of people coming to his house one day (don't like the guy but his doxxing is still poo poo). Other than that, much the same thing - still does RAR's on the most minor vids he can find even though he's not exactly a master at making vids himself, still buddies around with folks like Razorfist and IrateGamer or occasionally the likes of AlphaOmegaSin (in that he appeared on his podcast like, once ages ago). Same ol same ol'. We should probably stop talking about him though or at least censor his name because lord knows the dude self searches and you only have to mention his name so much before he arrives and leaves poo poo everywhere.

Theres a new Errant Signal. THis month: Alien Isolation http://www.errantsignal.com/blog/?p=711 Meh, I didn't find it that interesting. Maybe because I don't really care that much about the Alien Franchise. Honestly I'm shocked anyone cares about Alien video games after Colonial Marines.

Hbomberguy posted:Are there any decent reviewers who do found-footage film stuff well? I love those things and would love to see someone who also appreciates them talk about them with passion. I said it before but if I had a camera of any decent quality I'd make an entire series on every found footage film I could because I loving ADORE found footage. I've even made a list of films in my head I'd do and in what order. For fun it was: 1. Looking at the deeper themes of V/H/S 2. Same as above but with V/H/S 2 3. Grave Encounters 4. Alien Abduction at Lake County 5. Evidence I'd be more than willing to discuss ideas with you if you're making your own videos but whatever. ![]()

Sort of the whole point of Isolation was that it was going to do the Alien franchise properly in a video game and it more or less worked. I was pretty burned by Colonial Marines and suspicious of Isolation but their whole mission statement was basically to apologize for how poo poo Alien games and the franchise has been in general as of late.

OldTennisCourt posted:For fun it was: I saw V/H/S yesterday and I had to lie down near the climax of the first short. Everything about it unsettled and freaked me out, and when the actual bad poo poo started happening it somehow felt real. Movie violence doesn't normally faze me but I was completely freaked out. The actual monster-movie ending was a release. I love it. I mean there are so many cool things to talk about in found-footage in general as a thing, and VHS is like a dinner platter of some of its best stuff. I'd love to hear your thoughts on that film Yaws posted:Hbomberguy, I can't believe that Sarkeesian Effect video you made has more views than the video you were parodying.

Hbomberguy posted:Holy cow, yes! V/H/S is fascinating as a film that tries to treat found footage as the experimental style it's meant to be. By using the camera in innovative ways, such as in the first short having it in the glasses, the film tries to push past the common "DROP THE loving CAMERA" joke. The first short is undoubtedly the best but the whole movie is amazing in terms of what it tries to do. I feel like the whole film is a discussion on female roles in horror films, with each one attempted to deconstruct a role in horror that a woman has inhabited. 1. Amateur Night is a revenge movie, except with monsters who slaughter the men quickly 2. Second Honeymoon is a long opening kill couple together until we find the man is actually murdered by his lover, therefore inverting our expectations and turning it into a Thelma and Louise style getaway 3. Tuesday the 17th is a story about an evil final girl 4. The Sick Thing is a Rosemary's baby style film wherein the woman is the incubator for an evil force out of her control. 5. The final story is a story of men saving the helpless woman who end up just getting hosed over because OOPS the girl WAS a demon/ghost.

He did one of three as well, which it can be argued was a pretty weak entry. And for 4 he mostly talks about how much of the plot is a bit contrived, but of course Pinhead's still really entertaining.

Benne posted:The Irate Gamer is still around? He actually did a video recently explaing the whole AVGN v. Irate Gamer thing. Obviously he portrays James as an rear end and himself as a blameless saint but it was nice seeing him as an actual person. I used to watch his videos out of morbid curiosity and you just never got a sense of what the guy was actually like. He was like a robot. A charmless mush-mouthed robot.

It's fine that he hates video games because the perspective on games from someone who doesn't play them is always funny to me.

My favourite game reviewer / parody will always be the Game gently caress loving gently caress loving gently caress Fucker. Specifically, this one is my favourite. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTLaDnMl4rI Everything about it is wonderful. It's an eclectic mix of actual lines from real reviewers, slowly twisted until it becomes an impossible mess. In true late-noughties YouTube Angry Reviewer fashion, he had a fake meltdown and deleted all his videos in a blaze of glory, and now only reuploads remain. "this game is interrupted by gameplay!"

Red Letter Media is doing a Halloween stream, and they got Jay to play Outlast. "I'm liking this. It's like I'm living in a horror movie." Jay is adorable. I honestly love that they have a grownup dude whose great at criticism and has a breadth of film knowledge, who is also completely clueless about video games. ![]() Automata 10 Pack fucked around with this message at 05:33 on Oct 30, 2014 |
