He recently did a video on an expensive puzzle called...ISIS. I really like Mr. Puzzle, he gives a good detailed review as best he can before going through solving it and he's just a simple delight to listen to.

business hammocks posted:Their whole appeal to me is that they're goodhearted enthusiastic morons trying their best, so I don't really want them to suddenly get much smarter. Those C64 videos bored the poo poo out of me, but the tradeoff is amazing content like them doing videos with the kids from Stranger Things and getting along with them perfectly because they too are mentally and emotionally 14 years old. It's what makes some of the other content they do really wierd, I think it was the episode they were making paper airplanes that felt super mean spirited (even as a joke) that kinda felt off?

I'm not sure this is the right place but, Rooster teeth trailer for new thing (announced a while ago) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOE4tIKwA3c Nothing new, the scottish accent sounded familiar and I scroll down quote:gen:LOCK features Michael B. Jordan as Julian Chase, Maisie Williams as Cammie MacCloud, Kōichi Yamadera as Kazu Iida, Golshifteh Farahani as Yasamin “Yaz” Madrani, Asia Kate Dillon as Valentina “Val” Romanyszyn, Blaine Gibson as Sinclair and David Tennant as Dr. Rufus Weller aka Doc. That's a decent amount of starpower for a Rooster teeth show.

Not sure if this is the right place (Again) but: I mostly watch Polygon Videos because I think they are cute and fun, but it feels really weird how their Video content is out there and kind of nice and progressive and then. Every written article I see from them is defending lootboxes or crunch or whatever. I know there is a practical divide likely between their video and print teams but it still seems a little sharp https://twitter.com/untimelygamer/status/1054837914570493954 What started this thought.

First I'm really sorry all that poo poo is Happening.FoldableHuman posted:It's only a dumb PR screwup if you start from the assumption that the most vocal of their fanbase are obnoxious losers with a disdain for anything that doesn't cater directly to their very narrow interests. Otherwise it's just a game announcement. I think it's a symptom of Blizzcon as they've crafted it, this giant behemoth for all their franchises. FF14 only holds fan conventions to announce a new expansion, while Blizzcon creates this expectation of grand announcements for everyone. This works for games like hearthstone with a multi expansion per year content cycle and somewhat for WoW but games with a more... standard? Model are just set to fail when they are put on the stage like that. I think the announcement was a little silly at an event set for their core Fanbase who are all ready invested, but people are being rear end holes about it because gamers are the worst.

So in internet people news: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OaGs5c9FOM This video hit my feed and apparently Game Grumps fans are very mad that there was only one (I had a quick look at the channel) Halloween themed video this year? Enough to drive Arin to seen genuinely wrecked by it? Fans are the worst.

Arcsquad12 posted:I thought about posting that earlier but I didn't for some reason. It reminded me a lot of when Joe took some time off for the first time since 2010 and his fanbase went insane. I feel pretty bad for Arin and Dan because they have got to put up with a lot of poo poo from people who can't separate Egoraptor or Danny Sexbang from the real people. Also i'd guess the lack of Ghoul Grumps is due to them doing other things, like Danny had that Africa video out a few days ago and I guess had been doing more Ninja Sex Party stuff. But people came for game grumps, so they want more game grumps not whatever other content people want, that is pretty horrifying to me looking from the outside.

RareAcumen posted:I'm a dum-dum so I don't really do a lot of movie analyzing normally. But I stumbled onto a Cinema Wins video and thought it was pretty cool since it also pointed out a lot of the bits I didn't really notice or think about. Like how John was waiting to hear his magazine fall before he launched an attack or how breaking through the concrete to get his assassin gear out could be described like he was breaking through the foundation of his new life back into the old one. Cinema wins is pretty nice but there was one episode where they were like "did you have to make the ring wing guy sooo evil" in a very out of place both sidesy way that threw me off, I'll try and find it tomorrow.

Bakeneko posted:I guess I can understand why some people write fanfic, even though I hate the stuff, but why give it a Hugo? What’s next; are the Oscars going to start giving out awards to porn parody studios? Reminder The hugo is for the website itself, the archiving and storage methodlogy that allows things to be collected, curated and managed in an acessible way. Regardless of how you think of fanfic itself (which, gently caress off), the website itself is a marvel for collecting and storing work that would otherwise be lost to time.

Antifa Turkeesian posted:The part of it that seems so strange from the outside is how the demand for acknowledgment is spiderwebbing out to people who have some connection to the person who has a connection with Buck Angel. It is reasonable to criticize Contrapoints if you disagree with her choices, but anger at the silence of others because you feel they owe you recognition is not great. “You” doesn’t mean you the op or any specific person here. (i'm aware you weren't directing it at me but it's a good post to respond to) For me at least I don't expect anything, same I feel when I dunno some movie star defends Jonny dep or any other bad person in holywood. It's crappy, it may affect how much I can enjoy their content it may not. Like Scarlet Johannsen is the one to my mind for various statements and roles she played a whitewashed version of. As for the spiderwebbing, for me at least Olly took part in the project itself so that's at least a dividing line for me. He has participated in a product that can quite easily be said contributed to doing some harmful things. As someone who plays videogames or movies or consumes a product that exists, there's certainly an element of knowing some rear end in a top hat somewhere has a part in making the Sausage. The only argument i'd make for there possibly being an expected response is the direct cross promotion and interaction, there's (rightly or not) not level of disconnect like there is between the awfulness of a corporate entity. It's 1 bad person (publically) Kim Justice posted:He hasn't actually said one word in defense of Buck Angel. Aside from his post saying he's in the Contra video he hasn't even said anything about that either. You can't actually say for sure if his post is even in reference to that. I'd argue (as do a lot of people) that this sort of discussion is interesting contrasting his whole "Belive people when they say theirs smoke" line of discussion.

Darth Walrus posted:I always felt like the USAF stuff in Captain Marvel was severely overemphasised. They're barely in it. Like, sure, they got a couple of planes and military personnel in there in a vaguely positive context, but it's not, like, a central thematic pillar of the movie or anything. It's more like an advert for some lovely auto company or fast food chain. Captain marvel was interesting in the movie had a vaguely anti military message (killing people without thinking is bad) All the Air force stuff was them using the movie in outside material

Raenir Salazar posted:Thats the other thing, the entire movie screams spy thriller/jingoistic global war on terror movie deconstruction. Everything about the plot of the movie seems critical of special forces/SEAL Team Six saving the day tropes and comes off of subversive of American hegemony to me; its so obvious. I wouldn't go that far, as I mentioned it has a kind of tepid message. And I feel the fact that even with the context of the movie, the fact the USAF was using it as a big tool of "WOMEN POWER, COME BOMB PEOPLE" is probably a net negative. IT was just interesting watching people in spaces arguing past eachother, because the movies message and how it's used in a wider context are at least somewhat opposite
