Steve ripping into Stadia is so thoroughly enjoyable, the man has a level of integrity that makes him stand out so well. That and his glorious mane.

lmao at Steve's intro.. "Google's old motto was don't be evil. To be fair to Google they never had any rulse about not being incompetent."

Scrapyard wars is fun to skim thru but it is pretty dull watching dudes scroll classifieds. At least Kyle isn’t on this one. Actually, speaking of LTT staff I’m pretty impressed with Colton. He’s leading the charge on getting their setups, has a sick house in the woods and can cut down trees and is apparently the best gamer. I thought he was just an odd small weird guy to make Linus look tall and normal. Colton is kinda cool. Teams are definitely stacked the other side tho. Alex / Jake / Luke are all powerhouses.

Latest BitWit video has a straight up racist "joke" in the first few moments. CW: racism. "Why would I rat myself out, I eat rat for breakfast". What a scumbag. I don't know why I cant help but click his dumb videos.

I'm definitely getting more disappointed with GN & Steve now. I opened up the "show notes" article here: https://www.gamersnexus.net/news-pc/3539-hw-news-intel-apple-sue-softbank-fortress-linux-laptops and then clicked play. It's basically 99% of the entire show script minus the few seconds of him actually talking from the top of his head and own knowledge. I really hope he starts shifting to, you know, talking through his own knowledge rather than the incredibly dry reading of written articles almost word-for-word.

They've said in the past that the video is what pays the bills. The article is a bonus for people who don't want to watch a dry reading. It's stupid but that's how the ad-financed landscape works.

Yeah he always read off of a page. He writes most of it so what’s the big deal?

The best parts of GN is when Steve goes off script or at least doesn’t do a dry reading and you see his inherent knowledge and sense of humour come through. I want more of that.

GN videos for me are a podcast to be put on in the background. I just don't think they have enough bandwidth in terms of creative people (writing, editing, etc) to put out unscripted content and still do all the other things they do.

GN is pretty good when he collaborates with other channels. I think his videos can be more entertaining if they were more conversational. He could talk to the camera guy maybe?

Mu Zeta posted:It's pretty boring Yeah. I feel like it wasn't always this bad, but now, if I want semi-boring PC videos that might teach me something, I just watch Paul. Sure, he looks like Colin Meloy's little brother and his speaking style is pretty ramble-y, but I never get the urge to say "just show me that paper you're reading off and I'll be good, thanks." I appreciate Steve's asides (the ones in the Stadia video were the best part), but generally not enough to soldier through the rest of the monotone stuff.

I can't fathom the brain that would choose Paul's Hardware over the education afforded by Clint over at LGR. I mean, admittedly it's useless information from 20 years ago, but hot drat if he doesn't have the most soothing voice.

If you don't mind his particular niche of vanilla World of Warcraft retrospectives and WoW Classic, madseasonshow also has a voice I can best describe as "Bovril for your ears," as in you'll either love it or hate it.

Paul is ok but both he and Steve have muppet voices. There’s not many great orators in this space which makes LTT Anthony even more special.

Unbox Therapy continuing to dig holes for themselves: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNmX03BFO1o TLDW: Pitaka sends UT a phone case for review, UT launches his own "original" phone case (at like $45 a pop), and then tries to hide the fact he tried to contact Pitaka to collaborate, but Pitaka CEO says "lol no you didn't". This guy also held a giveaway where he said he was giving away a truck full of iPhones, he only did like 12 and then never spoke about it again. He also received a Stadia from Google and promised to have an actual review on its performance but it's been weeks and he hasn't said anything about it, and likely never will. This guy is just bad.

UT guy always seemed like a huckster rear end in a top hat. I don’t mean to be gatekeeping but he doesn’t really come across as an enthusiast at all - bad vibes to me. Lol at that Linus video. He really let that guy say some fruity poo poo

Jesus christ everything about that video is uncomfortable, from the hairless guy justifying this equipment without saying anything worthwhile to Linus' usual bombardment of advertising in video and video description, I'd be happier if I saw this at 4am between katana and cut price jewelry, not a childrens video website. Only worthwhile thing is going to be people dubbing songs over the video where Linus cries.

pzy posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DT3SInHr9ck Speaking of listening on headphones, something I wonder on their videos, especially ones with Linus, why does the audio sound all weird and choppy? I presume it's hard to notice or they would have done something about it. Is it an audio compressor they are using? Or are they auto-tuning Linus's voice?
