SimonChris posted:Noah Caldwell-Gervais has uploaded a surprisingly positive review of Fallout 76. It kinda makes me want to try it out. I like exploring huge empty worlds and hoarding crap. It's interesting that I'm seeing more and more reviews like this, starting with Many a True Nerd on down. Lots of people do seem to find Fallout 76 entertaining and even fun from a very precisely managed set of expectations, some of which they had to adjust while actually playing.

While he is clearly the bad guy and I've only ever watched Avatar with the RiffTrax, the colonel still does the coolest thing in the entire flick for me by strapping into his power armor rig thing and bailing out of an exploding plane. His actor and the Evil Corporate Guy seemed to be the only ones who knew what kind of movie they were making.

Kim Justice posted:Yeah I don't really get that. I mean, I think that several TIHYDP's are hilarious and it's fun to watch Phil's abject saltiness or how much he just doesn't get the simplest things. He's a great figure of fun...but I don't get taking it so bloody seriously and stalking all around his personal life going beyond even the crap he puts out there. Like, he isn't Satan, he's just an obnoxious dickhead. While I know of Phil because at this stage it's hard to not know of him, mostly what I take away from his DTRB is he's just kind of this dumb, sad person who deep down knows he's only barely marketable and while at the same time keeps falling backwards into people who will inexplicably pay for what he's selling still manages to screw it up on account of being Phil.

Kim Justice posted:I get where people like sexpig are coming from here, although in the case of Boogie I'm not sure if there's any more ground to cover - really we're just covering the rounds of the Boogie cycle at this point, we know exactly why he's like this and it's always going to be the same beats. poo poo takes on Twitter is what he will forever do because he's constantly in a pattern of causing a shitstorm followed by trying to get a left-wing pop (/poo poo tweets from the right) followed by self-pity. Is there anywhere else to go? Boogie sounds like trying to follow ComicsGate,* where it's also been business as usual (admittedly racist, misogynistic, homophobic business) for a while now. Like maybe if we see how any of their lawsuits sake out, that'd be worth mentioning but other than that, eh. Otherwise it's just been (admittedly racist, misogynistic, any number of '-phobic') business for a while now. It's like the Darksyde Phil comparison earlier - it is no longer a shock when Phil gets in a fix and begs for money while making no lifestyle changes. *Who are certainly more interested in being Internet Personalities than, say, making comics.

They also did 'For The World Is Hollow And I Have Touched The Sky.' I mean, they weren't even terribly subtle about it.

Karloff posted:The annoying thing about this is that a lot of the criticisms of her take shots at her competence when she's possibly one of the most accomplished and experienced producers working today, who has worked on a significant chunk of Spielberg's directorial back catalogue as well as other massive and popular films like Gremlins and Back To The Future. The narrative a lot of the internet nobhead crew like to push, is that she's just some woman they found to inject SJW politics into their space films, when in reality she's an incredibly savvy professional who understands that making Star Wars the exclusive domain of insecure white boys is probably not the best idea to to expand it as a dominant pop-cultural force. Also, controversial aside: The Last Jedi is really good, and one of Kennedy's best decisions was to let Rian Johnson get a bit weird with it, rather than forcing him to play within very strict parameters. George Lucas only comments on it, as far as I know, were that it was beautifully made. One of the ComicsGate chuds - their token 'professional' Ethan Van Sciver - would stream and Tweet for ages that he had 'insider knowledge' Kennedy was going to be fired for TLJ. Sadly when her contract was renewed it is unknown what he thought as he didn't deign to mention it, just went back to hanging out with sexual predators and tearing apart Rose Tico action figures on livestreams like you do.

nine-gear crow posted:Yes, professional******. For context, Van Sciver was fired by both Marvel and DC Comics and subsequently blacklisted industry-wide for being an insane racist, misogynist nutter who kept sketchbooks full of Adolf Hitler fan art on his desk in full public view for anyone to see while working at DC. He was also Super Mad that the new Muppet Babies added a new female character to it and thus polluted the original integrity and authorial intent of the classic series Muppet Babies—a show that existed largely to allow Jim Henson air clips of Star Wars movies on television by abusing his friendship with George Lucas, AND itself already featured a female character added specifically to be another female character in the cast back in the 1980s. In a way, what he's doing is fascinating. His stupid comic about a cybernetic frog has should have come out in November and that's all he has had to work on (if one does not count uploading countless YouTube videos including the aforementioned destroying expensive Rose Tico figures) but it's become apparent that EVS is running the Infowars model with ComicsGate. Keep the chuds mad or they stop giving you money. Not that this is particularly news to anybody. If they just worked on and put out their comic nobody would care.

Absurd Alhazred posted:Yeah, I remember weird animation frames and glitches in the old cartoons. Audio/video mismatch, characters remaining in frame when perspective changes, etc. It wasn't... great... On the biggest Transformers wiki for each episode listing there's usually a small list of animation errors - characters with the wrong voices, colored wrong, weird frames missing, you name it - and usually a lot more. There's really only one episode in the entire run considered to have 'good' animation (because they went with a different animation studio) and even then the story is goofy.

Wheat Loaf posted:That's just the TRUKK NOT MUNKY people who hated Beast Wars, isn't it? I believe that was commonplace in the 90s but it's not really a thing any more. There were these two dudes who tried to monetize 'Trukk Not Munky' (also an entry on the TF wiki, as is RUINED FOREVER) and had a whole panel they took around to GenCon, DragonCon, etc' about 'Why Beast Wars Objectively Sucks.' And then you'd find certain bizarre hardcore fans, like this one girl who legally changed her name to her fanon OC Transformer and had a crush on Soundwave running down Beast Wars to David Kaye's face (Megatron on Beast Wars, who was more bemused than anything else from all accounts). That said, it's honestly not even a drop in the bucket compared to Star Wars fans or any other big fandom I can think of. We mostly just like our robots that turn into stuff. GI Joe is much worse about anything new, as you might expect a Certain Crowd to be attracted to the comic that glorifies war and soldiers and such. ComicsGate assumed that Larry Hama, who mostly created the 80's version and wrote the original ongoing and still writes stuff for it today would be on their side, because their target demo is a Japanese-American whose grandparents were in internment camps.

Hemingway To Go! posted:But I didn't want to just leave that there aren't "reactionary transformers fans". In the Transformers thread people have had to leave facebook groups for toy trade because of stupid poo poo from the other fans and stay here. Oh, I don't think anybody would say there aren't, it's just not as bad. Like you have the G.I. Joe fans who had an actual boycott campaign to get Aubrey Sitterson fired off his GI Joe book. And indeed the book was cancelled, although whether you think that's because IDW caved or that the book's sales were just low (which was already true) depends on the side of the divide you fall on.

Baka-nin posted:I only watched a few episodes of GI Joe, or should I say Action Force (Full Force!) as it was known over here. I remember one of the tapes my cousin had involved the Joe's teaming up with the Soviet Union, it was also surprisingly educational, seven year old me learnt that Dracula was a real bloke called Vlad Tepes, and what DNA was and what it stood for Deoxyribonucleic acid. If I remember correctly that was from the same episode Cobra were robbing the graves of despots around the world to clone a god emperor. Other Cobra plots included: A telethon, planting subliminal messages in a heavy metal group's music, putting antimatter missiles on the top of a fast food franchise, cloning dinosaurs and trying to take control of Alaska by finding the State Seal of Alaska that holding apparently grants you total ownership of the state.* Also features the Soviet version of G.I. Joe (sorta) the Oktober Guard. *Sarah Palin joke here.

nine-gear crow posted:Yes and no. The show you're thinking of is ReBoot: The Guardian Code, which if you want to know that sad story behind it check out this video that Woolie of the former Super Best Friends did on the subject. That was fascinating. I could not find it in myself at the utterly absurd things ABC decided to be outraged about in Reboot. This is the channel that hired a company to evaluate The Real Ghostbusters and decided that A) Venkman was too mean to Slimer and they should be friends, B) we needed more Slimer and most galling was C) Janine needed to be 'more maternal' looking because this cool lady secretary was too scary to kids. Especially, no lie, the pointy frames on her glasses. I know as a child it was not the Boogey Man or Samhain or the fact a dude played a flute to start the apocalypse because he'd been dumped that scared me, oh no. It was the slight abrasion the Janine might give me if she poked me with her spectacles.
