I don't want to the funpolice, especially considering Rule 2 of my own thread; but Guru Larry isn't 100% clean. I guess that's the best way to put his (actually) hilarious behaviour wrt being the last CA contributor and his other behaviour in the past.

Those Hobbit reviews were dope. Had a debate with a friend about whether it or the RLM Prequel breakdowns were better. We ended up agreeing they were doing different things but both were really well put together.

I don't think Eichmann would be very impressed with Thanos since the cull is completely random. There's no ideology behind who's living or dying, just chance. Dr. Strange calls him genocidal or that he's commiting a genocide but that's not a good word to use for it.

Every game should have Alpha Protocol's "orphans created" counter, where you can marvel at how the 9 men you killed were all widowed and had 54 children between them after each mission.

What’s great is that in the Middle East levels the orphans will shoot up, and in the China levels it’ll go up by 1 at a time.

HBomberguy's recent video on Lovecraft, while broadly about Lovecraft, partially focuses specifically on a film called Cthulhu and how his opinion on it gained new dimensions in the years after he saw it, and even in his more negative videos (Fallout 3 and Sherlock) there's an underlying passion and desire to understand that often isn't there in the more "this movie needs to be punished for misbehaving, and I am Judge Judy and executioner" types of reviewer.

Please tell me you understand the idiom is ‘judge, jury, and executioner,’ and that you were making a joke.

For services to xenophobia and national embarrassment

Whatever happens in the fallout of Queen Elizabeth's death, it will be a rude awakening of some sorts. Such has pretty much been the norm for Britain on the world stage roughly ever since the Suez Crisis of the 1950's when we, or some of us discover how truly powerless and irrelevant we are. Despite all of this there are still people who refuse to believe it's no longer 1910 and the sun isn't always up somewhere in the empire, and Charles III may well be one of them. It would surely be a laugh to see his efforts to try and obtain more power...

I wonder if he'll follow Charles II in royal stupidity.

People see themselves in myths and stories. Especially popular ones, since it gives you an instant community. It's kind of a human trait to do so. Why Harry Potter or Star Wars? Because it feels nice to be a part of something that big.

Andromeda was also preceded by the very bad ME3.

Also both Sonic Boom and Colors were good games.

ME3 was a good game with just the worst possible ending to the series. Just the worst. Couldn't have poo poo the bed harder if they tried.
The core gameplay loop was solid though.

Yeah. I like Lindsay's video essay format. So much of youtube is 'Self-indulgent intro, faffing about for five minutes while you explain what the video is going to be about, usually in the form of a question, then an excruciating ten minutes analyzing the question, then the point of the video in the last two.' Universally garbage.

It's hard in some ways to avoid Chud-tube. If you watch a video about a video game, you'll probably get a recommended video of a chud or chud-friendly male mid 20-30's screaming person. The algorithm pushes them because the chud audience loves and engages with them so non-chuds get those videos recommended to them as the algorithm works its dark magic. The algorithm rewards high viewer engagement, output, and follow-through clicks so the circle of video-game based chuds and racists is self-reinforcing. If Pewdiepie wasn't a) the most popular single youtuber (yes I know he's just the face of a small corporation, but he presents himself as a single person doing all the work) and b) a chud, this might not be such a problem, but when the face of video-game youtubery is a goddamn racist trashfire, other racist trashfires are going to do well.

It's why I'm not too mad when someone recommends a video made by a chud-adjacent person. It's annoying that they don't recognize the dogwhistles because lord knows its not hard to learn about them, but I can't expect everyone who likes to watch youtube to know how racists hide their thoughts. But for goodness sake don't double down and defend your youtube choices when someone points out your favorite youtube sarcastic video game man is a closet racist at best.

I liked it as a collectable gimmick. At least the weirder/outlandish ones were fun like the couple playing russian roulette while snorting coke. Or just the hand on the floor in the camera's shot and the text messages calling Dad to see how he's doing :ohdear:.

Like the rest of WD1 it's a neat idea that needed far more polish and work put into it.

Chip Cheezum and Ironicus did an LP of the game that showed off all of them. They were almost all this grim, edgy bullshit that had no effect on the rest of the game or story. It was just dumb mean-spirited voyeurism. A very strange thing to reward a player with.
