See now I thought in general the Game Grumps were getting better. They're talking about the game and going less off-topic now.

Game Grumps aren't talked about in here actually because whenever they are, the thread goes to poo poo. And what's wrong with posting that? If the Nostalgia Critic had a video that was just a skit, would that be bad to post here?

I don't think her videos are all that amazing, and saying everyone who plays games are terrible people because of those who comment on her videos is stretching it A LOT. But yeah, some people are just terrible.

Doesn't the movie only follow the first season? He doesn't have to go through the whole animated series then, if his only goal is to understand the movie better.

So I was checking out some of The Bunny Perspective's backlog because I was bored and I've enjoyed some of his stuff and I found this which is uh, :stare:

I kept waiting for the "but no that perspective is horrible" thing to come, but it never did. And just to clarify, I'm someone who thinks Michael Jackson never molested anyone, probably.

I'm a bit late watching this, but WOW. I was expecting the worst, but that was even more crazier than I thought.

The ads are really intrusive on these. Thirty seconds, every five minutes, and popping in mid-sentence.

And, for me at least, it was the same 3 US Navy ads over and over.

Yeah, you'd think this would have been said a while ago, not something that happens out of nowhere. I'm also half-expecting the farewell and video of the new guy to be some weird joke, and the episode tomorrow is Jon back. Or Jon was sick one weekend and had someone fill in, and no they're playing up some joke about it. It just all seems weird, I guess is what I'm saying.

I always considered Yahtzee a comedian, a joke reviewer, and I didn't think anyone took him seriously.

Come on, this is silly. People can have actual grievances with a reviewer, not everyone is mad when someone doesn't like something they do.

I enjoyed the parody ad that comes right after the ad break. Which, at first, I thought was just a really odd Denny's ad.

For me, that fake came right after a real Denny's ad, so I was very confused.

These are really good though I fear when she reaches nuWho (eventually.) She really seems to loathe the post-2004 seasons and her argument is mostly "it's different so it sucks."

EDIT: \/ She seems to hold it to a vastly higher standard than she does the older episodes. Yes it has plenty of flaws but she can get really nitpicky with it.

It seems like diehard fans of the old Doctor Who series give no quarter to the new stuff. It feels like they almost don't give it a chance. Not to say the new series is perfect, but I think they can take their hatred of it really far.

I would say the Tim Burton Batman movies brought Batman up from the joke he was from the 60's show, at least in the public eye.

Why would "sane" people assume everyone who plays video games hates women because of a scene in God of War 3? I don't think that assumption makes much sense.

I know i am bringing up some wounds but i do feel the Wii was the catalyst of current gaming culture. when it got Big and you started to have the young and old buy the wii in masses a ton of gamer got pissed at Nintendo for it, complaining about focusing on soccer moms and grandpas. it started this "real gamer" bullshit that just stick of elitism and a us VS them mentality that seem very existence with gamergate and SJWs. I will still play video games, i am getting smash bros next month but there is Posion in the gamer well and it not just from gamergate.

To be fair, I think most people who play video games don't care about this at all. I feel like the "ton" of "gamers" doing this is a small, vocal minority.

It can be fun, but holy poo poo can it be annoying when the people saying them think they're some sort of genius for saying "Guys, stay with me here, what if...what if Ash from Pokemon was beaten by his abusive dad and the whole show is just his dying dream? Proof? Well obviously Oak represents authority and furthermore...". It's nerds desperately trying to make child friendly games/movies/tv shows dark and edgy.

Yeah, I think "X is actually main character's dying dream, and these characters represent..." is basically the worst kind of dumb theory. Especially if that person is trying to present it as real analysis.
