Oh yeah this guy has popped up in my recommendations in the past. What’s funny is that he used to just do silly animations using Fallout 4 mods but about a year ago he made a video going in depth about how the issues with the game’s engine made making these videos absolute living hell. It was a fun and entertaining video and got a ton of views so he’s stuck with the format since then. Gonna give this a watch later

I think I know the one you're talking about - it specifically deals with Fallout as a franchise's use of the PC having crippled limbs - and was pretty hilarious as well as being fascinating and how Fallout 4 went above and beyond to make it as difficult as possible to work with from a modder perspective. To get a certain 'wounded' posture for the skit, he had to have a character throw down a grenade and hope that it would break the exact three right limbs.

"Well that was quite an experience. Can I find something light hearted? Perhaps related to incredibly incompetent German animation and ... Passing voice acting since it's not the English voice actors."

the camera sucks, 30fps is completely loving unacceptable for a bomberman game, it's visually unappealing, major control input lag, and it was sold as a full price game. yes, a goddamn bomberman game in 2017 was selling at full price.

It's 60fps now, the camera can be controlled, there's no lag that I've ever seen, and it's now $40.

Between him and Many a True Nerd and watching some streamers whose opinions I trust, it seems like if you're already into Bethesda's Fallout I think there's some stuff to enjoy with a whole giant laundry list of caveats.

And it suddenly strikes me that, having not watched anything to do with Jones since even before the implosion of Channel Awesome he is super hard to listen to now. It's a shame, too, as talking about family video rental places are something I also have a lot of memories of.

So what exactly did Brad do that got this thread so mad at him? I was trying to follow what was going on when it happened, but all I could decipher was that he’d supposedly said something bad about Allison in an interview on a podcast. Except I tracked that interview down and watched it, and he doesn’t even mention her once, let alone attack her. He talked about the CA exodus for a little bit but he seemed really chill about the whole thing, not like he was holding a grudge against anyone.

Or maybe it was something he said on twitter that people objected to? I dunno.

apparently from what i read/heard, Brad blamed Allison for assholes attacking him and his mom/gf/famiky (making threatening phonecalls/etc) in an interview and made some kinda poo poo jokes about change channel. Allison was upset by that because she thought he was still her friend or at least didnt have any ill will toward her.

I guess that must have been the part that happened on twitter, or it could have been a different interview from the one I saw. If people were attacking his family for some reason that's super lovely but I have no idea why anyone would connect her to it.

First they came for the lootboxes and I said nothing, then they came for the trading card blind packs and I said nothing, then they came for the L.O.L Surprise! boxes and I was like gently caress yea take those away, they're gross.

As it would turn out, David Jaffe is apparently doing that:

As far as trading cards go...Well, I've never really been into trading cards, probably for that reason. It still confounds me, though, when they make video games based off things like Magic or the Pokemon TCG.

As someone who likes Magic a lot it would lose literally nothing from forcing WotC to standardize all card sets to have non-random contents. In fact Commander sets and the planeswalker decks already have that very setup and are among the best products they put out.

lootboxes are poo poo. like i don't mind the poo poo that ubisoft does where its a digital cosmetic and weapons store that you can spend with your money because you know what your wasting your money on. if they want to drop free blind loot boxes for getting to higher levels or some poo poo, sure. but gently caress the blind bag poo poo.

I really do like that Shaun makes it clear unlike 90% of his 'response to' videos CCP Grey isn't some scumbag or whatever, it was more an issue of the video being so popular and so incredibly misleading when most of his other stuff is solid.

I feel like I stopped watching CGP Gray when he was covering something where I felt he wasn't actually presenting a full view of the issue including the controversies and criticisms within the discipline. Might have done something about Guns, Germs, and Steel?
