Mister Bibbs thinks interviews are way harder than they actually are because of his crippling inability to understand or relate to human emotions. So he assumes the reason he gets rejected is a failure to adequately explain his skills rather than his weird lizard stare.

Sanguinia posted:So I checked out a guy named I Hate Everything, and was enjoying his content until I watched his review of the Emoji movie where he went on a rant about "forced feminist messages," and how they offend "certain people," and are catering to "social justice warriors." The reason I subbed to him was his review of The Last Jedi where he called people who made rants against the movie on this line complete idiots. What the gently caress? That's a thing the Emoji Movie actually tried to do though.

MisterBibs posted:This has something that has always been on my mind when it came to internet critics. If you decided to do this as a full-time job, you'd have to figure somewhere down the line you'd stop doing it (willingly or not) down the line. That's a rather big gap to put on your resume. 'As a self-made Entrepreneur I wrote, acted, shot and edited media entertainment for an audience of hundreds of thousands' with added bonuses if you're big such as 'I managed employees'. I mean, in an age where 'influencer' is an actual profession it's not that out there anymore.

Seriously, why the hell do you people let Bibbs lead you down these dumb garden paths? I just fuking can't

Wow, looking at the related vids, 20/20 covered that video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0MyoyRd44s It reminds me; back when Channel Awesome was really gaining traction, I thought there'd be some day in the future where'd someone would do a documentary about it. I'm sure there's still probably going to be a documentary about it, but most definitely not the more upbeat one I originally envisioned.  nine-gear crow posted:Pretty much the only stumbling block to Doug landing on his feet after all this is whether he can spin a good answer to any inevitable questions that'll come up about Mike Michaud. But honestly, obsessing over anyone from CA's future career prospects is weird and creepy and tabloidy to the max. Part of me wonder if it was Michaud's decision to axe Demo Reel and make Doug return to being the Nostalgia Critic. I'm guessing most of the decisions fall on Doug's shoulders, but him abandoning the character I thought was an interesting move. I've always been under the impression that a lot of the popular internet critics were resentful of the popularity their personas gained (notably James Rolfe with the AVGN and Mike Stoklasa with Plinkett). nine-gear crow posted:Seriously, why the hell do you people let Bibbs lead you down these dumb garden paths?

i like joseph anderson because he was the only person who was right on inside, breath of the wild, and darkest dungeon and i felt like i was on crazy pills since everyone else was gushing about them. i never knew how bad dsp hosed himself until i watched the down the rabbit hole about him. i just knew him as the dude that was bad at video games and then jerked off on cam by accident. he had the road to easy street despite being incredibly lazy and bad and just continually hosed up in hilarious and easily avoidable ways: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=So7wLuuDiHA

"I also uploaded a video of myself dramatically quitting my job, acting obnoxious, and being chased out by security. Sure to be a true asset to your company if I don't decide to ride a trending gravy train again." When I first saw that video years ago, the first thing that occurred to me is that he's made it potentially hard for himself to get another job after his internet fame wanes. Even if he stays in the industry, he's got that and now other baggage tied to his name, and it's readily available to any employer with a Google search. I don't think it's that weird to wonder if that video is going to bite Doug in the arse. But he's the only internet personality that I ever considered the post-critic career of, and it's solely because of that video.

Most other people who make videos build actual production + editing skills also, in addition to the suite of performance skills they typically end up with by continually growing and challenging themselves. Doug is like the ultimate cautionary tale there.

I mean I get why universal positive regard is a bad thing, but "this person is the only one who agrees with me ergo he is good" is a rather unhealthy way to look at things regardless.

I like Anderson a lot. I think he appeals to people like him, with a compulsion towards completionism, and it's beneficial to have that kind of view represented, even if it's not common or the way certain games are "meant" to be played.

I think that people often misrepresent why he focuses on "completionist" aspects of games. He's clarified in Q&As that left to his own devices, he is not personally a completionist. But, he feels compelled to play games that way as a reviewer, so he can't be gotcha'd by people saying "well you just didn't see [this part of the game that is good]." He also tends to drift towards analyzing games as consumer products more so than games as art, which is most apparent in his Hollow Knight video where he outright prefaces it with "I'm going to suggest ways the game could've been longer to improve pacing and smooth out progression, but as it is already it's a 10/10 game."

The big difference between James Rolfe’s interminable juvenile skits and Doug’s is that Rolfe was having fun trying out different techniques that he liked or was curious about, like doing his own Raimi ram-o-cam, while Doug attempted nothing other than padding.

Yeah I rec'd Three Arrows and Malmrose Projects! Mark Kermode is a british film critic and national treasure. He's my fave film critic, even when I disagree. His review and followup of Revolver is brilliant, it's on youtube somewhere. During his review of Sex and the City 2 he started singing the internationale. Probably one of the best reviews ever is when he did pirates 3. It's a back and forth with Simon Mayo, and eventually Kermode is on such a long rant that it cuts to Mayo's camera and he's literally gone, just got up and left. I love him

Does movie bob believe he is not part of the working class? That might be more delusional than thinking he would escape the ovens if all people with a low IQ were liquidated by a benevolent dictator technocrat, as he believes must happen.
