Alacron posted:I'll go ahead and throw in a recommendation for Core-A Gaming, a fighting game channel that does short essays on various topics. What's great isn't just how he makes a lot of difficult concepts very easy to understand, but he cites his research in academic studies and psychology books. I don't play fighting games often but I find his stuff very compelling. In a similar vein, I'd also recommend Hold Back to Block, a fighting game channel that does documentaries and interviews with various people within the community. The big video that some people in the thread will be familiar with is the Killer Instinct documentary (which got a decent push from big names in the community, and got Killer Instinct trending on Twitter earlier this year), but there's some other stuff, including interviews with other YouTubers in this thread. FIGHT ON: The Killer Instinct Story (which includes interviews with Maximilian_Dood and Matt McMuscles): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ks4eZoG94Vs Getting YOU Into Fighting Games - WoolieVersus (an interview with Woolie which also delves a bit into Super Best Friends history, specifically concerning the Baz): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7p1ZvZEEAo Core-A Gaming and Making Good Content: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78nRAilQYe4 Captain Invictus posted:oh boy, an Among Us collabo with a bunch of huge youtubers and the game grumps. You also forgot the part where Dan keeps forgetting to mute his mic, so while he's the Imposter for the first time, he's giggling every time he kills someone and everyone can hear him. Also, some of the other YouTubers in the collab have posted videos of what happened on their end on their own channels, so you can see what Alanah, Ethan, and Ross were doing while Arin was doing his thing.

Bad Wolf posted:I've never watched The Game Grumps until this week when I checked out their playthrough of Doki Doki Literature Club. It was hilarious for a variety of reasons. Their playthrough of DDLC is an absolute gem, and I'm pretty certain Dan has yet to fully recover from the trauma of watching that game. Also, once you finish going through their playthrough, then you should watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JhJ241dJ_g&bpctr=1603275473

Great channel that doesn't get enough love.YggiDee posted:Forget about the people with the bad opinions about Lilo, let's talk about how Rise of the TMNT was hosed over by Nickelodeon, got axed halfway through production of Season 2, and still managed to glue together a coherent finale. I would love to hear about this, actually. Rise was a show that I just glossed over (don't watch TV, not a huge TMNT fan), but seeing how great some of the animation is makes me want to give it a watch one of these days

Ross, aka RubberRoss/Ninja, has a new video up where he and a group of his friends play a recreated version of Among Us for VR: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfoLw_mxS6E Among US is already a tense game in its normal 2D format, and seeing how well it translate to VR really makes me want to invest in some VR gear in the future.

Mike Chen's latest Simply Dumpling video is up, where he documents some of his time in a 14-day quarantine in South Korea along with some of the meals he received (and what he got once he was free to go): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsfwidET_xc He also explains why he went to South Korea to stay there for a bit (although it's probably obvious once you think about it). Archer666 posted:That Japanese Guy Yuta makes interesting videos where he interviews random Japanese people about random things, such as what does it mean to be masculine It's a good channel overall, whether he's explaining why characters like Goku or Luffy aren't speaking proper Japanese, or getting some insight into how some people feel about certain topics. Regards to the video he posted today, it's interesting to see how Western media and influence has shaped their views on masculinity.

Terrible Opinions posted:I mean I don't think the Matrix 4 will be good because of the Matrix sequels but Cloud Atlas and Speed Racer were both good. The only bad post Matrix movie they've directed is Jupiter Ascending and even then I liked what it was going for. Back when I used to listen to How Did This Get Made?!, the episode they did on Jupiter Ascending was one of my favorites. It was an in-studio episode (so already good to start off), and it went from their usual mockery of a movie to genuinely trying to figure out where the movie went wrong and how it could have been salvaged. It was a fun, thoughtful discussion that I really appreciated as they just posted more and more live episodes that weren't nearly as good. I ought to go back and see what they're doing now, since live shows aren't a thing at the moment

Not only have ads on Twitch gotten worse (ads playing whenever you switch to another channel, or in the middle of streams regardless of whether the host is running an ad break or not), but they've seemingly made it harder to get bits from voluntarily watching ads. I think I've only succeeded in getting bits once in the last ten times I've tried

achillesforever6 posted:Feels like Disney got really involved in production; much like how they get involved in the Kingdom Hearts Series with their Looking at KH3, Avengers, and Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite, you can just feel the involvement of Disney/Marvel just oozing off of them. Meanwhile, Ultimate Alliance 3 and Spider-Man/Miles Morales somehow dodged them and are pretty drat good games. Is it because they were console exclusives, and Disney didn't care as much?

When they announced their break from James and Mike Mondays earlier this year, James mentioned that they had gone years without taking a break from recording something, even though Mike had wanted one for a while. It sounds like that once the break happened, they were just okay with not recording together anymore, and that was that

Nuebot posted:What's the connection? Wasn't Demon's Souls a sort of spiritual successor to the king's field style of games given the many references to them? It is, but it only came about to begin with because Sony wanted some of that Oblivion action. Miyazaki talked about it for a bit in an interview he did with 4Gamer about Bloodborne, translated here: https://www.neogaf.com/threads/bloodborne-4gamer-interview-with-hidetaka-miyazaki-fully-translated.840059/ quote:Miyazaki: But with Armored Core for Answer, we were working on that in parallel with Demon’s Souls, so there were quite a few challenges. When Demon’s Souls was in the initial planning stages, and right around the time it was entering the prototype phase, I came on as the director, and at the time, it was a completely different and very difficult project compared to what it ended up becoming.

Ariong posted:Right now Jerma is going through an ordeal where he bet 500 million community subs that he wouldn’t miss a shot in Noita, and he did, and now his chat is holding the $2,500,000,000 debt over his head. He did a stream starring his his dog in exchange for, if I recall correctly, $375,000,000 worth of debt relief. It's still crazy to me that streamers have to pay to gift subs in their own channel. I get that Twitch wants their money, but it seems like that's something that should be up to the streamer if they want to give people free subs

Dabir posted:The closest I've seen to a "good" reason out of them for why Paper Mario can't have good gameplay is that Nintendo think it would be redundant with their other Mario RPG series, but that's dead now since AlphaDream went under. The lack of original characters is Miyamoto's outright hostility to actual storytelling in games. Miyamoto's done some incredible things in his career, but I'm definitely ready to see what a post-Miyamoto Nintendo looks like

Clickbait/anti-clickbait thumbnails kinda wash over me now; maybe it's because I've been watching YouTube videos for years now, but so many creators I follow eventually cave on them because of the algorithm that I don't fault any of them for doing it. Titles, on the other hand, bother me a lot more. Stuff like "Top 10 _____" or "You WON'T Believe What [insert your favorite creator here] Just Did!" are going to be videos that I avoid like the plague

I don't watch them for their amazing gameplay. I watch LPs for both gameplay and podcasting; I'll watch something like a Demon's Souls LP (especially if it's like their first Souls game) to see how the LPer does, or watch Markiplier play a horror game that I was never going to touch to begin with, but I'll also watch Game Grumps to listen to Dan and Arin, or UpUpDownDown to watch Da Party interact with each other during their weekly Uno games

Violet_Sky posted:My headcanon is that Tonks/Lupin were bi/pan. Tonks was also genderfluid. Something that drives me crazy about Joanne being a TERF is that she created a world where it's trivially easy for someone to change their gender expression if they wanted to. They teach kids how to make potions that can transform you into someone else in year one or two of school, and there are wizards who can transform into animals at will. There's no way that there aren't wizards who have devised ways to physically change their gender if they wanted to

Yardbomb posted:Everyone having that really gross looking clay "Character at realistic 1000000000p resolution" skin weirded me out so much with Jump Force. There was a real wasted opportunity to do something similar to Kingdom Hearts and have characters do something like visit other manga worlds and appear in different art styles. Imagine seeing all these characters entering different worlds, and appearing as if they were always part of that world (like seeing Naruto in Toriyama's style, or Yugi in Araki's). But that would take effort and a budget, and Jump Force was about anything but that

Clip-On Fedora posted:Pat will probably try to bring it up and Woolie will immediately scream him down like the last time he tried to make fun of the Game Grumps on the podcast. Didn't Pat send Woolie the ProJared dick pic live on stream? Dapper_Swindler posted:I mean at this point I sorta suspect game grumps won’t be around for awhile. I am guessing Danny is loving out and rightfully so and arin and friends will have to decide if they want to end it or look for another co-host and hope number 3 doesn’t end up being either a weird moron nazi or a weird groomer rear end in a top hat. That or arin acts out of character and keeps him on in vain hopes they can projared it somehow. But my guess is Danny gets thrown out and they take a hiatus. A hiatus until they figure out what they're going to do is definitely going to happen, but if Danny is gone then I think GG is over. Jontron was only on the show for like a year and that's still brought up all the time, I can't imagine Arin trying to continue the show with having to deal with both Jontron and Danny fans complaining about how it was better with so-and-so. If it comes to that, he may try to rebrand the channel

nine-gear crow posted:Yeah, the retweets of the stuff from the former Vinesauce mod, and the email screenshots from the fan artist are MUCH more compelling and believable than the stuff in the google doc. The general consensus so far appears to be "He didn't do anything illegal and it was all ultimately consensual, but Vin's kind of a huge piece of poo poo for hitting on everything in sight and using his fame and status to pressure women into having sex with him". So pretty much the classic definition of a sexpest. Man, if this is true, RubberRoss has some terrible luck with being friends with people that turn out to be sexpests

For me, I think standardizing things like control customization and color blind mode would go a long way for accessibility issues. There are still plenty of companies who think that one controller configuration is good game design ("we configured the controls this way to evoke a feeling") regardless of whether or not players are comfortable or able to use it properly, and that shuts out a lot of potential players. Hell, I'm pretty sure that if it wasn't for the Switch Lite, Nintendo would have shoved a lot more motion controls into their games

Macaluso posted:Detroit is a funny game. The Hank/Connor stuff is legitimately fun, it's a classic old grumpy detective has to work with rookie story and that part of the game is genuinely pretty good and I think Hank and Conner make a good duo. Don't forget the third part of the game where you have the servant robot risking her life constantly to save a little girl, and ends up undercutting all the questions it raises about human/robot bonds and whether a robot woman could be a parent to a human girl by revealing that the little girl was also a robot. If the game had been focused solely on Hank/Connor with Connor merely investigating the the other characters' stuff happening in the background, it could have been a much better game. Marcus would have been a great antagonist to Connor

thetoughestbean posted:I can’t say I’m fond of this whole “big youtubers try to get their audience to follow them to a different video hosting website” thing I don't mind it for the most part, but I was a little annoyed when Patrick Willems said that the conclusion to the Charl storyline was only going to be on Nebula (although I'm hoping it comes to YouTube eventually). I get that Nebula helped paid for it, but it's a storyline that you've had running for over a year on your channel and now maybe over half of your regular audience (if not more) can't see it. Mr.Radar posted:I don't think their goal is to replace YouTube but instead to supplement it, specifically they have human moderators the content creators can actually talk to so they can post stuff that would likely get banned or demonitized on YouTube. The biggest problem I have with Nebula is that there's not enough content to get me to check it daily but there's also no notification mechanism when content does get posted so I never actually open the app I'd try Nebula, but I stream everything through my PS4, and there's no console app. When they finally roll one out I'll maybe give it a shot
