I gravitated towards the Greens, eventually even joining the party itself.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

Yeah, what's up with that move, anyway? Considering the OP and the discussion is like 99,9% about YouTube, putting the thread into TV IV would have made more sense. Since you know, YouTube is the trashy reality TV of the future.

Sure, the minor lefttuber video over there might not be the most brilliant thing in the world or anything (let's be a little fair and say that...y'know, it might take time for a personal voice to be found) but I'll sure as hell take it, even technically, over 20 adjective animals talking over a solitary screen about the same drat thing or a lot of stuff that is, at best, a conservative-hued ripoff of altogether better channels (it's not like there isn't loads of that).

Something I have been thinking about lately though, is that even if lefttube isn't quite on a level with the small handful of big right-tubers out there...y'know, it appears that things are definitely changing. Purely for one example of two rather large Tubers in the 400-500k range: Even if Blaire White may at present have more raw subscribers than ContraPoints, if you look at their SocialBlades Contra is currently earning TEN times the amount of subscribers that Blaire is over 30 days - at this rate that's stayed consistent since she released her latest video (whereas Blaire's channel goes down in subs with each new video) Contra will overtake Blaire and go far beyond her within weeks. It's kinda clear which channel is on the upswing and which one is most certainly on the downswing (it seems to me that Blaire's recent attempt to become a more mainstream type of YouTube channel, even with a couple of friends in very high places, kinda sank like a stone - the old audience didn't take to it at all, and there wasn't much of a new audience to replace them. Lately she's back to reacting to literally the most generic videos for anti-SJW content - the Gillette ad, the trans woman at Gamestop, that sort of thing)

That's just one example of course, of a significant shift when it comes to the person who is the most visible political trans person on YouTube. But there's other examples out there too of left-wing channels that are starting to prosper. As easy as it may be to quickly grift and make a quick buck by doing a few vids about some generic anti-SJW type issue and get pretty much the same subscribers that every other fucker has, I think the worm is starting to turn a little.

You joke, but TaleSpin as a property actually has some serious legal issues surrounding it because of the use of King Louie iirc.

Besides, the real tragedy is no Duck Tales world. :colbert:

I kind of wondered if legal issues were involved in what worlds/properties made it into Kingdom Hearts. That's why the reveal that there would be Toy Story and Monsters Inc worlds was surprising to me, since I remember reading that the relation between Disney and Pixar was messed up.

I haven't played the game yet, or seen that much about it, so I'm still hoping that they put in a world based on Down & Out in Beverly Hills.

I think a key distinction for me is that while I don't actively dump on KH in the first place, I still harbor a grudge for how immediately off the rails it went going from 1 to 2. And while some of the plot twists and such mentioned itt sound digestible out of context, I feel like a number of them are actually a real pain in the rear end to piece together over the course of some long action RPGs. Plus a handful really feel like they just exist to make things more confusing rather than actually add anything to the plot. And that's before you take into account how large swaths of the story operate entirely through anime melodrama.

Basically I like 1, parts of 2, and then care about literally nothing else.

If I didn't know you were talking about Kingdom Hearts I could almost believe you were talking about another crossover Disney property, Once Upon a Time. I wonder if there's an underlying pattern here.

Yeah, all the best Disney properties don't their time. Atlantis, The Emperor's New Groove, Holes, The Incredibles, Wall-E, etc.

Thankfully, Johnny Depp only beat his wife at home so they don't have to fire him and were able to keep using PoTC in the games!

I believe legal issues are the entire reason Tarzan has not reappeared since the first game, even though 2 of the games revisit the events of 1.

There was no way in hell Disney wasn't gonna make at least one Pixar world happen in Kingdom Hearts III, because it's as big a franchise vehicle for them as it is for Squeenix.

For Kingdom Hearts, I've become a fan of Kingdom Smarts, a podcast where series fan Shannon Manor (professional character designer and illustrator) has 30 minutes to explain as much of the series as she can to Jake Mason (a very prolific podcaster and podcast editor), who knows nothing about the series but what Shannon tells him and what she allows him to see. It's mostly a beat-by-beat recap of the series, but Shannon is clearly passionate about the series and Jake gets into it, and there's a point where Jake has to admit that he was mad in real life at a cartoon duck. It's pretty good.

They probably can’t even if they wanted to since EA has exclusive rights to develop Star Wars games, and I can’t imagine they’d be willing to let even a little slip out into another developer’s hands. It’d be another big, glaring example of how Disney screwed the pooch making that deal.

Disney has done a much better job with marvel IP with games. apperently they just give it to good devs and let them do their thing outside some guidence. I hope they do that with star wars when EA gets its deal yanked.

That's because that game would be a narrative-based, single player game with no LIVE SERVICES, so EA would never make it.

In keeping with the Souls tradition of justifying death and resurrection as a gameplay mechanic, you die and resume play as another identical clone soldier, the only difference being your ID number going up every time as a death-counter.

Off the top of my head: Alpha, Alpha 3, and MX use the TV show, and L, Z3, and V use the Rebuild movies. V has an English translation and MX and L have LP's/translations by Brunom

L is particularly hilarious, since only the second movie had come out by that point so the Eva plot ends with Kaworu walking into SEELE and telling them "Sorry, we ran out of plot. Everybody go home."

SRWV lets you play as Shinji and Kaworu at the same time. It's actually quite impressive how they made EVA-13 terrifying in a completely different way to how the movies did it.

Also, ANN's article about Vic Mignogna being a creep has gone up.. The writers did some legit good journalism, but it feels like they're only really scratching the surface here. Going to be interesting if this inspires a few more folks to break through what seems to be a pretty obvious culture of silence.
