He's scaling back a bit to focus on other projects.

Also he recognises that some of the stuff he does (or did) doesn't really fit in with the current style of youtube criticism videos and is rethinking his approach.

And my dinosaur kick continues. HoopsAndDinoMan is a channel that reviews dinosaur and other prehistoric related television programs and films. I had no idea BBC continued to make more documentaries in the Walking With: series after Prehistoric Beasts and Monsters. The pseudo documentaries with Nigel Marven look really fun, so I'll have to track them down sometime.

I get kinda self-conscious about posting certain folk in this thread even when they're doing innocuous things because I fear accidentally creating another shitstorm.

Then people post MovieBob and no-one really cares soooo maybe I shouldn't.

That's kind of why I've been hesitant to post anything for the last couple of days, since the last real post I ended up pulling since it went against thread rules (which I blanked on :downs:)

I kind of thought maybe the post about Bob had something to do with this old video of his that I saw someone bring up, and maybe the hiatus had something to do with it, but it seems to be unrelated.

I just sort of skimmed through the hiatus announcement video, and that's sort of what I got; he's taking a break to retool the format and change the scheduling. Seems like you'd only need like five minutes to explain that, provided you were being detailed about it, but then what do I know?

LGR has a new one on an iPAQ, a 2005 PDA. It's so charming to hear about LGR's college days and portable digital devices before the smartphone. Despite it being only 13 years old, devices like the iPAQ seem ancient. I especially like the part where he gets to gaming software including emulation.

this. this is why i dislike movie bob. he is an a psudo intellectual who leans "progressive" but only so he can spit on the "dummies" and "scum gently caress rural poor" who all deserve to die so people like bob can advance society and bring mario back from the EVIL JOCK CONSERVATIVES who ruined gaming by introducing FPS games. the dude has arrested development. i think his early stuff wasnt bad but he kinda just broke. most of his bad poo poo is on twitter. if he cut that poo poo out, he would be fine.

I know there's a lot of Ross's Game Dungeon fans here. One of the most memorable videos of that series was Boppin', an insanely difficult puzzle game.

Well, it turns out that some of the difficulty is just because the game explains two very important mechanics very poorly, as explained in this new video by Ancient DOS Games:

God I hate Twitter. The way it just gets people to vomit their unfiltered id all over the world at large is the worst. I still like about half of Bob's content, but knowing what an obnoxious person and eternal 14 year old edgelord he is really irks. Not as bad as being secretly an actual neo-nazi like Jontron, but not nearly far off enough to make me anything but depressed. (I'll still defend his mega-long Batman v Superman dissection to my dying breath though, I love it)

Anyway, in "conversations that hopefully won't send Kim Justice into a frothing rage for three pages," I keep getting this channel called "The Cosmonaut Variety Hour," in my recommend feed. The fact that one of the two videos popping up is about why Star Wars Rebels is supposedly bad instead of amazing makes me want to tell youtube to fuckoff, but I thought I'd ask here if anyone knows him and/or if he's good.

That Zack Snyder fetish film Guardians of Ga'Hoole.

Actually, wait a minute: Snyder did the Legend of Owls movie, but prior to that, he did Watchmen, which had Owlman in it. Plus, Batman is kind of like Owlman, and he did Batman v Superman. Maybe he does have an owl fetish, and he was worried people might catch on, so he made Sucker Punch as a ruse to throw them off the trail. :raise:

I've seen more stuff from Bob's Twitter output that reads like neo-Nazi rhetoric then JonTron's does. The only thing awful thing that Jon's really said lately was on the whole Apu controversy, which he did follow up on somewhat.

https://twitter.com/JonTronShow/status/989183412085895168
https://twitter.com/JonTronShow/status/989364668476076033
https://twitter.com/JonTronShow/status/989364911905083392

Mind you, I'm not rushing to his defense necessarily, or trying to argue that he shouldn't apologize or try to redeem himself in anyway. For the most part, though, his output (at least on Twitter) has seemed largely just goofy and innocuous.

Bob on the other hand has said things that make it sound like he thinks that most of rural America should be extingushed in order for humanity to prosper. It's really disturbing.

While I also dislike bob that is straight up wrong. You are deliberately choosing to only count what jon has said in the past month or so but digging up bob's stuff from years ago. Whereas say this time last year Jon was talking about how "cultural marxism" was a real thing and calling refugees rapists. Please do not defend the literal neonazi.
