Dapper_Swindler posted:i just got tired of his whole thing. most games i liked, he didnt and vice versa. plus his humor got old. in the old videos, he had some great insightful moments but now its kinda the same thing. Similar story here; I stopped watching Yahtzee a few years ago, because he was both less funny and also felt like he was being disingenuous for the sake of it, outright contradicting himself in the same video sometimes, alongside seeming to buy into some of the CHUD-ier/GG-esque things going on too. Take his Overwatch review, where he actually started complaining about Tracer's rear end, then used that incident as proof of Blizzard pandering to people without actually having any vision, designing each character to for maximum appeal to different niches... And used Tracer as an example of, well, an oversexualized character meant to bring in horny people. He made these arguments less than a minute apart, claiming in apparent seriousness that Blizzard "censoring" Tracer's rear end because of one prudish complaint is proof that Tracer's design is solely meant for sex appeal, and that's why she wears skintight clothes that show off the shape of her rear end. (Never mind that the actual incident just involved one person saying that a pose of Tracer's seemed out of character and the artist agreeing, replacing the original pose with a different one that showed off her rear end just as much as the original but conveyed her personality better. No any actual censorship or whatever, no angry coercion or people being cowed by SJWs, just an artist willingly taking feedback and acting on it, and not even reducing the amount of rear end-showing in the game when doing so.) I don't even like Overwatch, but with him so blatantly just saying whatever nonsense he thinks will get attention that he doesn't even care to keep his argument consistent for a full minute, I think that video wound up being the last straw, after I had already checked out of his content for the most part and hadn't been regularly keeping up with it for some time. I'm not sure what he's been up to since then; I feel like I've heard a few things in the meantime, but haven't felt the need to check out his stuff at all again. Edit: I'm not exaggerating either; I was curious if I was remembering things wrong, did a quick Google search, and found the transcript of the video. Not only did he do what I said above, but he threw in an insult about "gender specials" as well. I was wondering why I had the feeling that he was an outright shithead, on top of a crappy reviewer, but couldn't remember why. quote:Remember that little controversy when Blizzard cut out a pose of a character sticking her bum out because one person complained? That annoyed me. Not because of my personal bum preferences but because making a change after one solitary complaint shows just how little poo poo they gave about artistic vision. Every character is an archetype cynically designed to pander to some section of the audience. There's the obvious eye-candy girlies wearing cling film [this is where pics of Widowmaker and Tracer pop up to make sure we know who he's talking about, less than five sentences after he says Blizzard intentionally toned down her sex appeal to placate a single person], but there's also a muscle lady and a chubby girl in specs, so the gender specials don't throw a strop. Then we'll have two samurais and a mecha girl for the weeaboos, a cowboy for dudes with slightly weird ideas about the masculine ideal and a skullface murderer for dudes with even weirder ideas about the masculine ideal.

He did start the lovely "PC gaming master race" meme, although in all fairness it was a five second joke about PC elitism worth a sensible chuckle when he said it, before idiots started running with it.

the trick with gender specials is you have to press and hold the button, do the motion, then release the button to get it to register properly.

The last time I watched any MrEnter was several years ago, and considering back then I was even dumber than I am now, the fact that I still thought his videos were annoying garbage should say something. He just seemed like the endgame of the 'rage' critic brand, where every video is a recitation of a cartoon plot with various ways to say "this doesn't make any sense this animation is gross these characters are such bad people" every 10 seconds, and basically no levity or variety of perspectives/angles. Also his enunciation made him sound like an 8-year-old, which was pathetic and unbearable to listen to. Surprised anyone on this forum would give him the light of day (I know it was only a couple people but still)--has he improved significantly in the last few years or something?

Yahtzee hasn't really progressed comedically over the years, which is why I fell away from his work. The Chzo games weren't that bad, though. Also The Gender Specials is the name of my new ska band.

On one hand it’s getting kinda silly to just ask if every Internet personality is the loving worst, on the other hand most of them are so it’s easier to just assume that they suck and let them positively surprise you
