Dapper_Swindler posted:i liked the swinging but mark has a point. on McIntosh, he is never gonna be happy with violence in game unless every game has his exact ideals and even then it won't be good enough because he would find some other element to get offended/angry about. i remember seeing other progressive critics on twitter openly laughing at his bullshit a bunch of times because he is weird joke. as i said, i think if he wasn't such a prudish morality policeman, he would probably like red dead 2 and his themes. i mean this dude got offended by this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXbFP2V_zSA i feel like he saw how bad actual toxic masculinity is and decided gently caress that and went left but he went to the farthest extreme the other way and basicaly thinks everything is toxic maculinty. its kinda sad. Since I don't know McIntosh aside from his mentions here, I will assume he knows all those Ravagers are the ones who murdered their former crewmates by throwing them out into space?

Testekill posted:I need to catch up with their stuff since I haven't even gotten started on Armada yet. And just recently they started William Shatner's TekWar. Well, the book he had ghost-written under his name as TekWar. It's shockingly racist in parts.

nine-gear crow posted:Given what I know about William Shatner, I'm not surprised by either of those counts. What's really (not) funny is either the racist stuff was Shatner's idea, his ghost-writer put it in and Shatner approved it, or he didn't bother to look at or read anything and thus best case scenario he's a racist by... omission, maybe? In happier news, Mike and Conor get a lot of mileage out of the book's attempt to future things up with the abundance of 'plas-noun' and 'las-noun.' Also that robots print things out when you ask them questions. The future belongs to Dot Matrix.

nine-gear crow posted:Eagerly awaiting the one from Count Jackula where he talks about all the female superheroes he jerked it to. Because he put out a video the day after Carrie Fisher died proudly insinuating that he jerked off to Slave Leia a lot. There’s no joke there. I’m just saying Count Jackula is one gross motherfucker. While looking for funny reviews of horror flicks, I stumbled on Jackula but did not linger long. Doing shock value for humor requires one be funny for it to work.

Babysitter Super Sleuth posted:I feel like while Stan Lee did have a problem with sharing proper credit, its worth remembering that one of the people who pushed the "Stan Lee, History's greatest monster" narrative was Steve Ditko, who was a total nutbar objectivist psycho who refused every olive branch Marvel ever offered him and probably would have pulled a Bob Kane without a second thought had his and Stan's positions been switched. Like somebody on Twitter put it, you know who would have no sympathy for Steve Ditko? Steve Ditko.

Allen is one who I feel fortunate enough to have seen a lot of his work before I found out about him. I was able to enjoy Love and Death with a clear conscience, and honestly it's still one of my favorite comedies.

Kim Justice posted:Woah, I didn't even know that S Club 7 had a hit in America. Of course, they had a lot more than one hit over here - I wanna say they had four #1's (Never Dream being one of them, although definitely not their biggest - that would be Don't Stop Movin'). Rachel had a really good solo career, Hannah and Tina have done a lot of acting, and Jo went on to be highly racist on a UK reality TV show. I can't remember the name of the boys even after looking on Wiki. I was amused at how hard Todd flipped out over their Hanson slam.

Sephyr posted:MB is the only one I found that is actually chill and good on stuff that is currently airing . Bennet has a fun style but his schtick is tied into the classics and the early boom of anime in the US, which can be very hit or miss in how it regards to your tastes. Digibro can be very good on 'neutral' titles, meaning those that don't cater to/offend his weird kinks. When that happens, he can be a weird creep. I haven't watched him in a while, but along the anime recommendation lines there was Glass Reflections. He tries very hard to be objective while admitting where his preferences lie. Also pretty laid back, compares subs to dubs if that's your thing, all that goodness.

His guide to the various flavors of 'dere' was pretty funny.

Mr.Radar posted:Yeah, and by that point most major game studios had given up on the Amiga as a platform so a lot of the releases he reviewed in that video were there kind of stuff that would have been forgettable shareware on the PC. Not that that should excuse them from being criticized as commercial releases (since they were) but I can't help but feel a bit odd seeing that type of software getting the full Nerd treatment. It's kind of a shame, too, as while I know that's not the show's format when James does do deep dives on stuff he's very thoughtful. Like the urban legend horror game which is still my favorite video of his.

Yeah, the account from the person who designed Akali, was unceremoniously fired (not even invited to the wrap party) and then get to watch her take off thanks to a K-Pop video was pretty sad.

Kim Justice posted:The only thing to do is produce content that counters the folks on the other side that attracts audiences. You can't exactly ask people to change the entire way that they've made their living just because there's a chance that videos by Sargon might be recommended on their sidebar, that's completely unreasonable and it isn't even their fault. And as people have mentioned, it's hardly something that can just be limited to people with 'angry' personas. That's certainly true. While frustrating, I'd rather give Ellis the like and view and whatnot even if that means YouTube is going to barf Mundane Matt or the Amazing Atheist on my mentions, because that's a price I'll pay for keeping Lindsay around.

Augus posted:Oh yeah this guy has popped up in my recommendations in the past. What’s funny is that he used to just do silly animations using Fallout 4 mods but about a year ago he made a video going in depth about how the issues with the game’s engine made making these videos absolute living hell. It was a fun and entertaining video and got a ton of views so he’s stuck with the format since then. Gonna give this a watch later I think I know the one you're talking about - it specifically deals with Fallout as a franchise's use of the PC having crippled limbs - and was pretty hilarious as well as being fascinating and how Fallout 4 went above and beyond to make it as difficult as possible to work with from a modder perspective. To get a certain 'wounded' posture for the skit, he had to have a character throw down a grenade and hope that it would break the exact three right limbs.

Between him and Many a True Nerd and watching some streamers whose opinions I trust, it seems like if you're already into Bethesda's Fallout I think there's some stuff to enjoy with a whole giant laundry list of caveats.
