I feel like it's almost fortunate for Naughty Dog that the most common and popular TLOU2 criticism is by far the dumbest one (woman arms too big)

Nakey Jakey's commitment to the Horse Sense joke is so good.

I just started watching Nakey Jakey and his stuff is real fun, but in one of the videos he mentions hanging around with Chris Ray Gun which threw an eyebrow up for sure

A lot of angry people in his replies because he's "changed". Solar Tornado posted:This one feels like a refreshing return to form for PT.

I haven't watched too much of his stuff but I watched one about Shapiro? or abortion? both? and the skit bits took up way too much of the runtime.

I thought it was justified in the abortion one because he was acting out a famous thought experiment.

Sideways rants about people who hate Auto-Tune without understanding why singers and music producers use it. Also the tangent about Singin' in the Rain is mind-bending  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05hTQC1CZko

More accurately he's known for being long-winded (and quite good at being long-winded) And that's it. Jeez, you guys probably scared the poor fucker into thinking they just shared a vid from a Nazi puppy-kicker, lol.

Does it get better as it goes? I know it was linked before, and clicking on it showed I stopped watching about 6 and a half minutes in because I found it tedious.

If you don't like Tim Rogers' unique style of elocution that video's probably not for you.

Each segment of the video talks about a different subject, with the introduction being the weakest part of the video. Once I got through the first full segment (the one between roughly the 5 minute and 37 minute marks) I basically knew I had to watch the video until the end and I was not disappointed. That said, if you don't like it by the end of that segment you probably won't like the rest of the video either. Edit: vvv I would say there's no single story in the video that's quite that compelling, but the entire video as a whole adds up to something close. vvv Mr.Radar fucked around with this message at 22:27 on Oct 3, 2020 |

muscles like this! posted:Tim Rodgers has had a very interesting life and he will tell you about it in detail. Is it as good as Noah Caldwell Gervais's story about him and his friend going to a bar in a one horse town in the dead of night, getting hammered and then barely avoiding a bar fight with a local before stumbling into the desert at 4 am?

Tim Rogers has perfect recall of his own childhood or something equally absurd. Hyperthymesia? Anyway half of everything he tells you is also a segue into his own memories, and either you think that's the poo poo, or its totally pretentious. Like his exhaustive multi-hour breakdown on Final Fantasy VII's translation and then he weaves in a narrative about moving to a new country and the loneliness you feel when you don't speak the language and how precious your human connections are and the eventual suicide of his best friend. And then I go 'what does this have to do with Final Fantasy VII' but I liked it anyway.

I remember some really weird posts about her), and how her design was part of brainwashing people into accepting transwomen. She looks like this.

On that front, Naughty Dog doesn't seem capable of hiring BIPOC for their characters. I like Laura Bailey but they could have hired a black woman to mocap and voice Nadine.

Not sure if Naughty Dog was guilty of this (but they probably were and still are) but a lot of voice actors are not told what their roles actually are in video games and publishers force them to sign NDAs to prevent leaks to the media. Famously, Keythe Farley wasn't even told what game he was working on when he voiced Kellogg in Fallout 4 because Zenimax and Bethesda are paranoid as gently caress. It's actually a pretty serious problem because all the legal NDAs and cloak and dagger stuff can prevent actors from giving their best performances. If you have no idea of context for your voice lines how the hell are you supposed to present who a character truly is? Arc Hammer fucked around with this message at 00:24 on Oct 4, 2020 |
