JustaDamnFool posted:Joseph Anderson finally finished part one of his magnum opus on the witcher, could someone in here watch all 4 hours of it and say if its worthwhile? Don’t want to start a huge JA digression but the video was fine, but overly long like most of his videos. I hope you like four hours of him going over every single quest and event in the game while being mentally unable to understand/tolerate that the game has a lot of jank and many moments of inconsistent or bad writing while concluding it’s a good game overall. It has the usual obsessive completionist problem of dedicating 5000 hours into research playing all the Witcher games multiple time (why bother when you can just read about the outcomes of different choices on a wiki), all the books, all of Mass Effect and more games series. Not a huge fan of him mildy defending the use of violence and rape aimed at women in the books and games to explain why the setting is so grim and bleak; I hated it in the books and saw it as a product of an older style/culture of fantasy writing that took a long time to get woke and actually grow up. Super Bunnyhop and Chris Davis have already done the same thing but much more concise and interesting insight on the topic. JA really cannot get past any sort of jank and standards below AAA game presentation. https://youtu.be/ZohodiFCOTU https://youtu.be/kKC_y-XI9S0

Joseph Anderson is one of the YouTube gaming people that I would be most interested to see try and make an actual game, not because it would be good, but because he would spend thousands of dollars "fixing" the most minute things that no one would notice but him, creating a game that (assuming it even did come out) would be completely unfun and five minutes long. I don't know what it is about gamers, but they seem to be the people least capable of understanding the limitations of their medium and necessity to cut costs. If Joseph Anderson reviewed film he would complain that the alien from Alien wasn't actually a living being created through the genetic engineering.

I'm only an hour into Anderson's Witcher video, and yeah, it's as pedantic as everything else he's done, but he's also having way more fun with it, just goofing off in the editing, and it doesn't feel like a chore this time.

He kinda became Old Man Yells At Cloud back when he covered Life is Strange, too.

The Anderson video wasn't that bad outside of the mentioned usual issues where he repeats stuff so much he could've probably cut half the video out, but I don't think you can ever make the accusation that he half-asses anything.

Yeah, he does. He doesn't go to the effort of revising his script or editing his videos into something that doesn't waste everybody else's time. They're just a pointless lazy ego trip. There are, you know, greater crimes, but refusing to edit your first draft is not a sign of diligence Eugene V. Dubstep fucked around with this message at 15:46 on Apr 8, 2020 |

I found a pretty decent video dunking on the Harriett Tubman movie from last year and calling it out as whitewashed. Unfortunately Youtube took it down, so the link goes to archive.org, which buffers it so slowly that I had to download it to watch it.

Dawgstar posted:"What?" *Awkward chuckle* "You're telling me there were no repercussions to this, Harry wasn't even brought up before the Hogwarts PTA after killing Kenneth Branagh? That's a sinnin'!" DING. Argas posted:Probably the perfect time to bring up Harry killing a teacher (albeit in self-defense) is during book 2 when everyone thinks he's the heir of Slytherin, at least IIRC on how the matter was covered up. ??? Gilderoy Lockhart had a total memory wipe he never recovered from in book 2 but he didn't die. He even comes back in one of the later books as being in a wizard mental ward because he still hadn't recovered at all. That video is pretty dumb though, like "WHY DIDN'T HARRY POTTER SUFFER FROM PTSD??" is up there with "WHY NO GUNS???" in the infinite realm of tepid Harry Potter Takes.

Quirrel's death in the books was more because of Voldemort leaving his body while it was in pain. I think. Its been so long since I read them.

For the record, I'm not making fun of people in the responses who enjoyed Avengers. I just posted this for Bob's comment saying "but THIS is what Aeschylus and Sophocles were aiming to draw from crowds at Dionysia. This is our Globe Theatre - but for the actual globe". He's always going off about how the MCU is humanity's greatest achievement.
