why is it so hard to video youtube videos about media or whatever that doesn't have these people's faces talking straight into the camera for 95% of the video? is it part of a "create an internet following" handbook that people relate better to a face or something?

i'm madder about this than I should be.

I always found TB (RIP) a lot more insufferable, but there's a whole host of folks that are just plain grating. Many of them waging holy crusades against the "SJWs"

I always assumed if you had no job prospects after school in the UK they gave you a top hat and a gaming PC so you could make a living on YouTube.

I put TB and Sterling in the same category of youtubes that live by retelling internet drama but with lukewarm video game takes sprinkled in.

I used to listen to destructoid's podcast like 12 years ago and sterling has barely changed.

Is Jenny Nicholson's whole "mindless merch consumption" thing ironic? Does light criticism of Disney's properties matter if you've spend thousands of dollars on giant Porgs?

Jenny Nicholson gets my attention because her irony shield is so perfect. She might (might) be the first web 2.0 native to do this poo poo and gives off this slight hint of suppressed menace at all times, like she’d loving eat you alive and is just choosing to have a good time at any particular moment. Like, it’s hard to describe, but I really wouldn’t want to mess with her. I can’t really describe it, but it might peel off some of the chuds.

I like RLM but I can't watch another video about Star Wars. I loved the movies as a kid and poo poo but I can't get excited about a Disney product. They really aren't for me, anyway. Also people acting like seeing a movie from a multi-billion dollar media mega-conglomerate is resisting conservative values because some internet nerdlord called the purple-haired lady a oval office or whatever need to get some perspective in their life.

RLM's non-Plinkett stuff was really disillusioning and informative to me when they started doing those. Like you're getting a look past the layers of intellectualising that come into the process when you're writing a script for a character. I remember that Ghostbusters 2 commentary where they nostalgically remembered a bunch of the "great moments" from the first movie in contrast to 2, which they remembered as bad, and then almost every one of the moments they mentioned happened later in the movie.

Plinkett had always been these opinions and half-remembered fragments of films they hadn't seen in a while or thought about much, conglomerated into some sense of critical analysis. It was simply presented better. And when you realise the difference between making a decent video and actually having a point, a lot of things start to fall into place.
