game theory is weird. they can be fun to listen to sometimes for some mindless stuff but at the same time their stuff can be so cringy.

I'd like to say in the past he wasn't quite as cringy, but this clip is 5 ( :sigh: ) years old and really, the first 18 seconds is just all you need to summarize Game Theory.

E: It'd help if I LINKED that clip, huh?

Yeah. The Nerd having been around for 15 years was also kind of a shock to the system.

If being aware he was a horrible person hadn't robbed me of sympathy, I could feel bad for Doug having been trapped into doing shallow review content as the only means to make his dumb comedy.

At least it's intriguing...

Stealing from the LeftTube thread that this is maybe the worst way it could have gone. "My platform and people's trust in it is a fun thing to play around with" is a hell of a take. The other options were playing or being dumb and denying that she knew, or just owning it and being honest.

But yeah, can't wait to see what the surprise is in 2 months.

A fair warning that that thread tends to go off on weird derails and go deep into leftist theory mental masturbation. It's not necessarily bad, just don't expect to see pages of talk about Shaun. Also "A Land of Contra-sts" is a great title.

lol. i can't hate the dude that much because if i had technical skills. id probably make weird lore/theory videos like he does. but much weirder and dumber. liking trying to figure out if the baddies from the modern warfare cod games are Aleksandr Dugin types. i have always liked reading into the politics spectrum of vaguely defined baddies in games. espcially since alot of games keep baddie politics vague because "gotta sell a billion". i dont blame them for it. it just find it interesting.

https://blog.activision.com/call-of-duty/2019-10/Modern-Warfare-Campaign-Biographies-of-the-Storys-Major-Players-Part-4

like these are some of the baddies in the new one. like they are clearly going for an AQ/isis terror network vibe. but they cut the religion out completely(cods middle east factions have always been coded bathaist/military type never salafist) instead its some weird nihilistic anarchism with some Egoist thrown in with vague anti imperialism. i get why they do it. it just find it kinda interesting/amusing.

Was it Game Theory that had that hour-long video about how Sun and Moon was the last pokémon game and just wildly jumped at anything in the games it could match to religious symbolism?

a man who loves the kirby games decided to make detailed videos taking every aspect of the kirby lore unabashedly seriously and had a fair amount of commissioned artwork done for them too, and they're great. as the kirby games go on they kinda start having this underlying current of cosmic horror to them, too.

also, the video about Zero reminded me that man, the Kirby series has overall some of the best video game music of all time. just listen to this, this is a hell of a final boss track.

That’s basically just a CinemaSins video, except instead of having one guy narrating there are a bunch of them talking over one another.

Batwoman is fine. It has some issues, but they’re no worse than the teething troubles most new shows go through. It’s certainly better than early Gotham or Legends, and they both turned out great. I’m a little annoyed that it used the cliché of the villain being the hero’s long-lost sibling right after Arrow used it last year, but at least they revealed it quickly rather than having it be a ~big mystery~ for half a season.
