IIRC a book is called a bestseller if it sells well even outside the expected demographic. So if you write a crappy romance novel and it's only bought by horny housewives you haven't done that, but if it's get popular outside that demographic then it's a bestseller. Don't quote me on that.
more grapes than the entire smuckers facility there bud. I dont even remember what the dudes name is either but you do realize trying to devalue them when you're significantly further down the totempole doesnt improve your own value, right?
His decision to stick with the escapist and let them manage shit meant that he didn't actually have to get obsessive over his youtube career like a lot of other reviewers, he did it as a very comfy and very lucrative day job and then did other projects on the side. He wrote books that sold well, he made games he wanted to, he co-owned a bar for a bit, he has a seemingly stable relationship with his gf and kids now, and he got to meet John Romero, what more could a man ask for.

Honestly yeah, she seemed pretty good even if a bit crazy, he's a massive sourpuss and she seemed to be pretty good at making him be less grump on the streams she was on. Also there was a stream where she was pregnant and started to sex him up before she remembered she was on camera.

This is the kind of weird shit I could have imagined happening to him, but somehow it seems to work out. Glad he didn't turn into a huge trainwreck over the years.
Yeah legit she knew how to approach him as well by staking out his favourite bar, reading his book while he was there and acting like she didn't know who he was until they were dating.
Makes sense a narcissist would marry and have kids with a nutcases that worships him.

I've never even heard those words before you typed them. You're retarded, neger, just as your false idol is.
Basically an unrealistic, and generally hot and wacky, female character that inexplicably becomes main character's love interest and teaches them things.
Feminist angle comes in as they can be seen as having no agency and existing as (male) author wish fulfilment, but really they are really more an issue of shitty writing.
I believe the phrase was coined referring to Natalie Portman's character in Garden State but the trope is far older.
He quit voluntarily and now has all the money to himself, he was the single thing keeping the company afloat. Another dumb hillbilly trying to talk shit.
Get fucked!!! Trans rights
Nick was a redditor unfunny leftist retard. Yahtzee following him after getting fired was his worst life decision. Nick was fired becuase Yahtzee was the literal reason people watched Escapist and in 16 years there was nothing else good to really make Escapist a popular site. No improvement, just connections. And now he decided that instead of talent, he will just monetize his friends and their followers of redditor gamers probably setting up a kickstarter for a clone of escapist with even more lefties complaining about sexism in video games
Their patreon has less than 3k dollars a month.
Their channel will start big (out of curiousity) and the numbers will fall swiftly.
Their channel is going to be 'the escapist 2' with the same shit they've been putting out for a decade that nobody will watch.
Not to mention their conversation about the new channel was all 'no negativity allowed', 'we ban people for any little thing'.
Talk about tone deaf fucks.
In case you were wondering, 3k a month an whatever measly shit they make on patreon isn't enough to pay the 10+ homosexuals they brought with them from 'the escapist'.
my god what would those 10 people even do. what the fuck were they even doing in the escapist? I thought that in one of the screenshots from the editor who was fired, he was talking about how he warned the corpo that they were over hiring a while back and won't be able to keep up. So then they left and did the same shit? I guess it would've looked bad to not take all of those who were fired but my god.

10 people makes sense.
Escapist had a few other programs besides ZP that were decently popular (obviously not ZP popular) which is why a few of them are there, and the rest are editors/cohosts, since Yahtzee only edits ZP, and other programs likely aren't edited by their hosts.
I imagine they'll do fine. Probably get up to $15K on the patreon before the end of the year, and since they're doing youtube streams they'll get shit like superchats, in addition to more basic youtube revenue, merch, promotions, etc.
There's other factors as well like Yahtzee probably not needing a lion's share of the money since he has his own side stuff.

Probably a lot more than the 10-13 over at Second Wind, but the team that left was pretty much just the video side. It seems all that's left are the people that write articles for the website.
I wish Yahztee wasn't so lazy, because he should just go full solo and create his own brand and entire show. He already draw and edit his videos so he is already a contributor of 99% of Escapist profits while people like Nick and Jack only feed on his paycheck that could go entirely into his account.

Dont forget about you tube policies. They will lock most content under paywall and subscription because Nick is a hack with no ideas how to gain new audience and only knows how to parasite through life on Yahtzee's back.

As a fan of Elric I couldn't watch that video beyond the first minutes
Razor has a point in that the polack was clearly inspired by Elric and refuses to admit it, but calling Geralt a rip-off is one of those things only done by people eho haven't seen both works
Like the Kimba/Lion King thing
The only similarity between Geralt and Elric is superficial. Sapkowski just nicked the parts of Elric's visual design he thought were cool and that's about it. If anything, the Witcher is clearly "inspired by" Warhammer Fantasy, an IP VERY popular in Poland in the 90's, but he's not ever going to admit that.

if anything it's warhammer that is a flagrant rip-off of elric
The only thing the witcher and elric have in common is a fancy sword and a white-haired protagonist
Geralt's sword isn't even fancy. It's just a specially forged sword, but it's not a one-of-a-kind superspecial magical relic, just a different type of a regular sword.
>if anything it's warhammer that is a flagrant rip-off of elric
I think GW authors used to acknowledge Moorcock even >The only thing the witcher and elric have in common is a fancy sword and a white-haired protagonist
Geralt doesn't even have a really fancy sword.
They're both somewhat lanky, pale, white haired, skilled swordsmen that compliment their skills with magic and alchemy. They're both gloomy, and a suffering from some arrested development. They're also both know as the White Wolf
Like, just spouting off similarities, you can see that one clearly inspired the other, but actually reading the works, you can see how very different they are in general
Is elric really skilled? isn't he just empowered by the blade and without it he's a sickly husk of an elf? Is a debilitated elf stronger than a human still?
Geralt's sword isn't even fancy. It's just a specially forged sword, but it's not a one-of-a-kind superspecial magical relic, just a different type of a regular sword.
Thinking about it, even Arthas is a closer comparison than geralt considering arthas literally weilds a mourneblade and is also a skilled swordsman empowered by a magical blade and an old god/chaos lord
Sometimes it feels like four or five guys made books and then everyone in the entire fantasy genre just stopped having ideas

Melniboneans aren't that different from humans, Elric also doesn't need the sword to get strength, he has his herbs and potions, the sword is just better/faster
Pic not related. Razorfist doesn't play what he reviews. I seem to agree with his opinions on politics but he has shit taste in gaming. Also, how he downplays the dumbing down games by Bethesda kind of make him deserve Th4if.
His opinions are coloured from being a britbong living in straya most of his career. I mean he, with a straight face, claimed the CoD/BF fanbase is right wing gun nuts and that the games had some sort of right wing agenda.

That aside, the study collected data from parents (and only the parents) who posted on anti-trans websites. So already the study shows massive bias from the get-go.
Methodology aside, the reason that study was pulled was because it required editing to clarify the study's results and goals. You can literally google it right now and find the corrected study in full on PLOS ONE, which now plainly states that it's to do with parents' reports.

And? That's the entire point. It needed to tally parents that weren't supportive of it, because otherwise you'd get the usual bullshit of "Ashley said she was a boy at age 3". These were pro-lgbt parents worried at what they were seeing happening to their child

If your theory can't account for every scenario then it is useful as a heuristic at best. If someone found some weird particle that has mass yet its gravity doesn't scale with 1/distance squared then the entire theory of gravity would need to be revised, even if this particle is only 0.000000001% of the matter in the universe.

Trans exclusionary radical feminist. Which is what Rowling is (I guess you could argue the radical part).
Although I do find it funny how she didn't start off that way, she was supportive of trannies. Her original sin was saying that there's a difference between the experiences of biological women and trannies, which sparked so much outrage that it drove her to hating trannies in general.

I used to be the same way, except I grew up with ghetto rats so I knew how they actually were. I still fell for the BLM meme, what turned me off of it completely was how my white liberal friends acted when I joked about hating black people. These tards grew up in nice suburbs because of their white parents, and yet they constantly treat their parents like shit and worship ghetto rats they've never had to live around.
Even the white TERFs will gasp when you're honest about black people. They're all the same brainrot.

I was already kinda racist by that point, so when the initial shock happened (where everyone was almost universally for the protests) and the naggers started burning and looting and getting praised for it, I fully committed to the racism
And honestly, I can't understand how pathetic you have to be to not do it. I never had overwhelmingly bad experiences with naggers until the riots, where besides the media circus, I also watched Black acquaintances defend and chimp out their fellow vine swingers, and in the following months whine about racism like never before

Yeah, they used to be bad, but these past 5 years black people have gotten so much worse. I didn't even used to hate them, I knew a lot of elderly black people in my neighborhood that were really nice people. But now hoodrats have been emboldened by MSM support, since they're at the top of the oppression pyramid. But now they're so awful, they burned down grocery stores during BLM, robbed local stores, and have made the city landscape so horrific that starbucks and friends are fleeing as fast as they can. Criminals, which are mostly black in cities, are just being dumped right back on the street because they're so oppressed, which means they turn around and keep victimizing other black people and the unfortunate others that have to live around them. And black people defend this, and so do their retarded white liberal masters. If you so much as point out how BLM and being soft on black criminals is making race relations worse, you'll be cancelled by hordes of retarded white liberals.

Still have to play it, the demo was good. But there's a surprisingly large amount for me to work through, I haven't wrapped up Moonring yet and I've got Robocop after that.
I liked a lot of his videos back in the late 2000s but the only thing I saw of his recently was a vlog where he went to a con and he was wearing a face mask and complaining that he was the only one doing so. Can’t say I’m too interested in his output after seeing that
Hm yes very interesting that the only thing you've seen from him in recent years is an incredibly specific scenario surrounding the most retarded discourse in recent human history. I'm sure you only happened upon this scenario at all because you surround yourself in shit you don't like so you can act like a fucking intellectual on a chinese pictograph forum.
I used to go to The Escapist every day to watch ZP, Unskippable, MovieBob, and Jim Sterling. Don't know what the fuck I was thinking with the last two, I guess they had their rare moment when I agreed with them to continue watching. After Yahtzee moved to the US he was very clearly drinking the liberal kool-aid and steadily became more insufferable and I got sick of him after I realized how often he's talked about games he's never played. I last checked out a ZP video about a year ago and he was still bitching about Trump for some reason, but had a decent video about graphics this year. Wonder if he'll dust off his old Youtube channel. >2007 was 16 years ago
fuck
>Wonder if he'll dust off his old Youtube channel.
I think it's possible. He uploaded a trailer of his new game on that channel a few months ago. I just checked the channel page and man, I can't believe LDO ended 7 years ago.
Sterling was always entertaining, specially in a sea of mouth breathing journos that eat up whatever was popular
The fact that he's one of the most repulsive creatures in existence has obviously affected that, but it was a gradual thing before freefalling
CineRoberto actually had some interesting takes on film coming his unique perspective of a sufficiently well spoken perennial failure of a 90s kid consoomer with an over inflated sense of ego, his video on Kevin Smith gor example is pretty good, because you can tell how much Bob lived vicariously through him
The Kevin Smith video was the first blob video I ever watched and it made me cringe so hard everything I've ever heard about him since is just par for the course
I think Sterling was always willing to go the distance to be disgusting, and that was part of his humour. Squeezing into a spandex unitard and starting wrestling was an example of this. But then he transitioned and you were expected to stop laughing.
I quit watching him when he dropped the fascist gaming leader visual because of "real fascists" but I don't really remember if he was really disgusting before that
[...]
It's 100% real and genuinely one of the most viscerally repulsive things I've ever witnessed
the fat helps disguise any male features, at that point he was essentially a genderless blob of lard, trooning out was the natural conclusion

I wasn't watching that shit anymore after that, he's just as bad as IGN. Good riddance.
Because I forgot, it was something recent that was critically acclaimed but I don't remember exactly what.
His shit opinion isn't worth remembering other than the fact that it was shit so I knew to avoid it
Reminds me of the Wonderful101 review (WiiU) from Blistered Thumbs, the old TGWTG/Channel Awesome vidya website that was shut down a long while ago. Whoever they picked for writing it went >"I stopped playing the game after 47 minutes because I can't be assed to learn the game's control scheme. 2/10"
I am simply in awe at the level of dick sucking in that statement. To compare the guy whose pull in the industry amounted to getting two studios to draw art for him to Michael Jackson is just amazing.
Nick will pair him with that fat neckbeard woke redditor or furries who literally use their lizard vtuber persona while talking with Yahtz. Everything about Escapist was cringe and Yahztee always fell out of place. Them hirin MovieBob and AIDS Moby was the most typical thing they would do.
GTA4 review >"it was a game enjoyable enough that I'm actually going to keep playing it after this review"
Saints Row 2 or 3 review months later >"actually I only thought GTA4 was good because I forgot what fun was THIS is the real deal guys!"

What part of "less than a year later" don't you understand retard? If the fucking idiot can't even agree with his own opinion on whether he enjoys a game or not with a matter of months then what value does his opinion have?
>I like X
Time passes >actually X is shit
If you're a reviewer try to base your stance on the product in such a way that the passing of time alone isn't a deciding factor. Is that so hard to understand?
Different situation. In Chick E Cheese the parents need the booze to deal with all the annoying children screaming and terrible robot band music. They're off in the corners just staying sober enough to make sure their kids stay in the field of vision.
yet those types of bars have become pretty common.
Oh well than Yahtzee is probably just a shit businessman. Cocktails are for homosexuals anyways. Sounds like a gay bar.
Retarded suit naggers thinking they matter and not the people they employ.
This time it backfired so bad the talent just left and made their own company within days.
I just hope whatever he does next he stops fucking complaining about politics and climate change and "nazis" and stays on topic.
I love him but he was getting insufferable over the last year or 2.
The worst potential outcome is that he becomes extremely lazy and just streams occassionaly to keep his money coming in.
If you have an established fanbase for well over a decade they literally dont care what you do and will keep giving you money as long as you exist.
Good for him on pursuing his dream of becoming a teacher?
Is a BA degree in Australia really this big of a deal? In my country you are considered a lazy twat for only having a BA and not an full MA.
> This is not a mentall illness I swear
Honestly I feel so fucking bad for Gabe. Too depressed and lazy to work, and your only friend trooning out. What can you even do in that situation?
Almost everything was inspired by something, works of art are not made in a vacuum, this isnt a bad thing. When something has been copied wholesale its usually evident.
I remember Yahtzee got invited to a podcast with TB and Jesse Cox. And those two were running circles around him when it comes to vidya industry knowledge. Doesn't help that Yahtzee really IS a shy autist, so they could never get anything out of him.
>that one time Gabe told a story about his friend, who worked in social media management and networking, and how she asked how he has a parody account with an following >Gabe's response: I dunno that aint me
why do people act like this is the end of zero punctuation when he has literally no reason to not just start up again with the entire former escapist team at his back under a new alias
He fell off hard for me when his contract was revised as such that he wasn't even finishing games anymore before putting a review out. That's the worst kind of critique/journalism, and I know he's a comedic writer but it was still very annoying.
And I have my sympathies for him but he did used to finish games before putting a video out, unlike the hundreds of other reviewers out there. So when he started doing what they do, I had no more reason to tune in.
What older games were that long for one playthrough? Although he also didn't get even close to finishing something like Sekiro, so the argument that the games are just longer isn't that solid
>What older games were that long for one playthrough?
A lot. Esp. a lot of strategy games. Say Warzone 2100. Or RPG's like Ultima. Older games with no end is an MMO like Ultima Online. or Everquest. very time consuming.

He's based because he grew up in rural Mayo which for Americans it's like growing up in some back water twin peaks type place. It's not like places like Dublin where it's full of woke cunts.

He does live streams every so often. Him going to Germany last year and live streaming it was great as he always lands himself in weird situations like getting locked inside a coffee shop or stumbling on the filming of a movie
The Spiffing Brit's entire personality is "I am le british you see I love le tea" and in any instance where he has to interact with other people he instantly clams up and barely says anything because he is genuinely autistic with zero personality. Yahtzee made being British part of his personality but it was more than just saying "British" and "Yorkshire Tea," namely he actually did the real British tradition of shittalking his country while living elsewhere (and still saying wherever he lived is worse anyway).
Regular reviewers are inherently bad. They basically have to play the latest overhyped garbage and they never have the time to finish them. So any game that doesn't play like the modern slop that they are used to will have basic mechanics ignored because they think that any game that isn't made for an illiterate retard with a controller is badly designed.
Did this The Escapist have any relevance?
I don't understand this video game culture shit, so to me it was just some guy reviewing games who had a fan base, but how the hell does that become a company full of employees? What were those employees doing? Was it a company full of hookers to suck his dick while he narrates 3-minute videos every month?
Escapist existed before he started his series, after he uploaded his first two videos on his channel they contacted him and hired him on. It was a good deal for him at the time since it meant he actually had "proper" employment (remember, this was youtube in 2007) and he got early access to games and sometimes hardware for free.
He ended up being so popular that he was practically carrying the escapist on his back.
Escapist had relevance around 2005-2015. After that, and a bunch of shitshows, the only thing keeping it alive was Yahtzee and his ZP who was too lazy to move on.
I remember Shamus Young was a part of Escapist at one point. He was such a good dude, I'm going to miss him.
He's apparently going to continue doing his reviews, but I'm curious how he's gonna do it. I wonder if he'll keep using like the 20 year old copy of Windows Movie Maker here has.
Anyone seen Marty Sliva, he looks like Der Juden from a Nazi propo poster, though he claims not to be of the tribe. He is literally ratfaced, not even being anti-semetic.
By this point they should just name it "Yahtzee plays" because literally nobody else had any relevancy at Escapist. Do people even know Jack AIDS MOBY from RLM worked there for the last few years?
They honestly should have put his dumb egghead in the thumbnails like clickbait channels do. It's a cancerous practice, but I guarantee it'd drive more traffic to his videos since people would recognize him from RLM
>Jack Packard
LMAO doesn anyone remember "Slightly Civil War"? It seems even Yahtzee coudn't make Jack interesting and they pulled a plug on it already in 2021
Might watch some of his old stuff. I think it wil be a good reminder that 2007-2013 was terrible for video games. I'm seeing too many people starting to imply that it wasn't a garbage gen. Gaming didn't start to recover until the Switch and PS4.
Ace Attorney Trilogy
Alice Madness Returns
GTA V
Mario Galaxy
MGR
Nier
Sleeping Dogs
Some obscure jap games like Deadly Premonition, Resonance Of Fate, Lollipop Chainsaw.
That's about it for me. Not a very eventful generation in my opinion
2013 has GTA V and Metal Gear Rising which signifies when games started to get good again I think GTAV's colourful style made it so trend-followers stopped with the horrble brown n gray that was so ubiquitous at the time.
>has GTA V and Metal Gear Rising which signifies when games started to get good again
Eh. 2014 was terrible again. And honestly 4 was a better game. >I think GTAV's colourful style made it so trend-followers stopped with the horrble brown n gray that was so ubiquitous at the time.
I think that was FarCry3. Much brighter
>pretending yahtzee was even remotely relevant past 2013
Are you also crying about Rooster Teeth dying? Nobody has given a shit about this dude for 10 years.
To be honest Nick joined 5 years ago and the only thing he did was hiring only woke lefty people to do reviews. Not sure why Yahtzee think he is such a genius to choose him over Escapist? Why not just go full solo and take 100% of the profits instead sharing with NIck and Jack Packard? They dont contribute anything other than handling accounting and tax shit
I mean if you've got money and you're carrying the company anyway, when the corpos start doing shady shit the right choice is to leave.
Now why he chooses to stay with Nick can probably only be explained by it being a habit or worse, friendship.
Marty is so much worse, he's actually dog shit to the extreme. He played SH2 with everything on Easy and plays all the games that let him on journo mode.
He’s old guard from IGN, what do you expect? Yahtzee bashed the IGN review buying in an episode of Slightly Something Else and Marty nearly sperged out.
Movie Bob is such a amazing lolcow >Gets fired from the Escapist because he can control his autism during GG and kept threatening and insulting people that he disagrees with >gets rehired years later and gets fired for having constant meltdowns against "right-wingers".
Yahtzee also called him movie blob on like one of his Black Mesa streams.
To be honest Jack got more redpilled with Yahtzee than when he wroked with RLM. I think he gave Last of Us part 2 a 1/10 for all the bullshit they put in it
In fairness, nobody can be the apex predator like Movie Blob. I'm not joking about that, he got into like a twitter argument and was saying something like that.

Yeah probably, but imagining Movie blob doing it with angry tears in his eyes is funnier.
He’s surprisingly good as the DM for Adventure is Nigh. I started watching one episode when I bored out of my mind at work and it actually held my attention.
stopped watching his stuff a while ago because he kept taking jabs at chuds
even when i agreed with him they were just out of place and annoying
rest in piss you whiny bitch
Its hard being a centrist. On one hand you aren't in either cult and have full freedom of speech to shit on diversity and tradition, but on the hand you are hated by both tribes and neutral to anyone else
>But Yahtzee was always against wokeness and forced quirky diversity feminist protagonists
Only when he was a bitter bachelor living in Brisbane
Getting married changed all of that
I will forever love this weird cope Fromshills made up about Yahtzee. Demon Souls just wasn't as good as Dark Souls. Why the fuck is that so hard to grasp?
Demon's Souls is beta Dark Souls. He even reviewed Demon's Souls and the TL;DW is that he liked it better than he remembered, but it's still worse than Dark Souls.
nah man, he got filtered and then hopped on the bandwagon when he realized h everyone else loved it and he was just bad
More weird cope. He shat on larger and more popular franchises. Why would Dark Souls be the one to make him cave?
>He even reviewed Demon's Souls and the TL;DW is that he liked it better than he remembered, but it's still worse than Dark Souls.
Well, he's still wrong
To be honest Rich wasn't any better doing game reviews than Jack. I would say Jack was at least mor humorous and crititical while Rich went full on IGN mode. Rich isn't funny unless prompted by Jay and Mike
>It’s not the amount of testosterone or DHT that causes baldness; it’s the sensitivity of your hair follicles. That sensitivity is determined by genetics. The AR gene makes the receptor on hair follicles that interact with testosterone and DHT. If your receptors are particularly sensitive, they are more easily triggered by even small amounts of DHT, and hair loss occurs more easily as a result. Other genes may also play a part.
no
>A certain era of gaming had ended
I wish. Sadly there's even more retarded normalfags out there who get celebrated as "video game experts" while constantly exposing themselves as idiots with garbage taste.
Are we all supposed to pretend to care about this homosexual now?
He was doing it for 16 years. Most anons you are arguing with weren't born yet when he was doing those angry reviews
For 16 years I've been ignoring him and thats what i'll keep doing. Nigga should get a better job
He wrote several best selling novels
>best selling
are they?
It's not THAT hard to be a bestseller, iirc it varies but you can go as low as 1k copies a week
Sorry, you've misread that. He's a beAst seller
IIRC a book is called a bestseller if it sells well even outside the expected demographic. So if you write a crappy romance novel and it's only bought by horny housewives you haven't done that, but if it's get popular outside that demographic then it's a bestseller. Don't quote me on that.
He did, hes a successful writer.
>Nigga should get a better job
Buying a home, starting a family and living a good life by making 5 minute videos a week. The fuck are you on about?
>Nigga should get a better job
like what
The guy has done like a dozen projects, most of which have been successful
>16 years
Literally half his life up to this point wasted on a dying degenerate industry
>wasted
>saved enough money to buy a home with his wife in the Bay Area
sure
>home in the bay area
Jesus imagine overspending to live in a literal hobo toilet
He lives in Northern California.
I was gonna say that's still a dumb place to move to, but then I remembered he lived in Australia before that.
Northern Cali is a lot nicer than like San Fran. He would bitch pretty endlessly about going to San Fran, the Escapist made him go to Cali cons.
more grapes than the entire smuckers facility there bud. I dont even remember what the dudes name is either but you do realize trying to devalue them when you're significantly further down the totempole doesnt improve your own value, right?
Plus he got a cute Stalker wife out of it and made two kids with her, that's pretty good.
His decision to stick with the escapist and let them manage shit meant that he didn't actually have to get obsessive over his youtube career like a lot of other reviewers, he did it as a very comfy and very lucrative day job and then did other projects on the side. He wrote books that sold well, he made games he wanted to, he co-owned a bar for a bit, he has a seemingly stable relationship with his gf and kids now, and he got to meet John Romero, what more could a man ask for.
His wife is/was pretty hot and bubby even if she was like a Stalker fan that didn't reveal that until they started dating.
>fall in love with e-celeb
>stalk and track him down
>seduce him
>marry him
>have kids with him
Based psycho
He meant Stalker fan as in a fan of a game STALKER
Honestly yeah, she seemed pretty good even if a bit crazy, he's a massive sourpuss and she seemed to be pretty good at making him be less grump on the streams she was on. Also there was a stream where she was pregnant and started to sex him up before she remembered she was on camera.
This is the kind of weird shit I could have imagined happening to him, but somehow it seems to work out. Glad he didn't turn into a huge trainwreck over the years.
Yeah legit she knew how to approach him as well by staking out his favourite bar, reading his book while he was there and acting like she didn't know who he was until they were dating.
Makes sense a narcissist would marry and have kids with a nutcases that worships him.
yeah it was fucked. i like how gabe mentions it in one episode of LDO and yahtzee abruptly ends the video
I'm super jealous honestly.
Didn't he say that they met by her ((randomly)) having one of his books on her in a cafe or somethin?
How do you believe that a coincidence instead of an obvious stalker?
His books sold relatively well and if he frequents more geeky places I could see it happening by coincidence.
She explicitly said she found out where he worked and that she was a fan of his.
Oh sure in actuality. I just mean it wouldn't necessarily be a massive red flag for him.
I'm pretty sure Yahtzee was kinda in denial for a bit that he was dating his stalker, but she's hot and nice so like it could be worse.
He got a better relationship out of it than most people that don't date their stalker
Also smart and able to hold in her autism till after she had like properly sunk the roots in so to speak.
He wanted to believe, she revealed she knew who he was and watched his videos and like read his books. Honestly I wish a stalker chick would show up with the intention of eventually make babies.
How does that make her a stalker and not just a fan?
By finding out where he lives and works with the idea to stalk him?
>How do you believe that a coincidence instead of an obvious stalker?
Millions monkeys with a millions typewriters
>still making PCfags seethe to this day
How the fuck did he do it?
He posted this saying that Witcher FUCKING 1 inventory is TOO COMPLEX.
Obviously we all started to use this term to mock him.

>The irony is lost on consolebabs.

LMAO, people used this unironically after like a week to shit on console peasants you revisionist homosexual, best I can give you that maybe you thought it's meant ironic, it wasn't, everything to one up each other even 12 years ago.
Also it was not the inventory it was the overall keyboard layout and amount of menus he complained about.
Nah
First it was used to mock Yahtzee
Then konsolekidz felt personally insulted so we started to use it unironically.

I know why he coined the term, but I don't know why you're deflecting accusations made in good humor to protect your ego on an anonymous image board.

What a giant homosexual lol
jarpig is favored by schizophrenic people who view jrpgs as the antithesis of their own genre, usually wrpg purists or shmup purists
I say jarpig because despite loving these games the average JRPG fan is a massive moron and I want to make them upset any time I post about them

anyone who uses the feminist phrase “manic pixie dream girl” shouldn’t be listened to
What the fuck does that even mean
Basically an unrealistic, and generally hot and wacky, female character that inexplicably becomes main character's love interest and teaches them things.
Feminist angle comes in as they can be seen as having no agency and existing as (male) author wish fulfilment, but really they are really more an issue of shitty writing.
I believe the phrase was coined referring to Natalie Portman's character in Garden State but the trope is far older.
the scott pilgrim girl was always the quintessential mpdg to me
Anyone who uses the term 'feminist phrase' is suspect as fuck as well
You just did, so I'm gonna take your advice
but if you're going to take his advice and not listen to him, then you shouldn't take his advice and therefore you should listen to him
You can't tell me what to do! You're not my dad!
*sips*
i dont really watch yahtzee anymore, but hearing him scream nagger post-2016 was based
?t=96
Holy based
And thats why he is based forever. He passed the "i'm gonna say the N word" test
It was bold even then, but I don't think he'll ever get away with saying something like this again honestly.
The duality of man.
That's our word. White folks can't say it
>Nu whites humor
Fucking cringe.
F, I would still check his videos from time to time
What was his name again
Dots sugar free or smth
oh noooo now he will do the exact same show under a different name
Escapist was clearly holding him back a bit. None of their other vids get any attention.
he is continuing it on nov 15 with a different name, nothings ended
He pandered to the trannies by calling JK Rowling a cunt. Now he's out of a job. Many such cases!
He quit voluntarily and now has all the money to himself, he was the single thing keeping the company afloat. Another dumb hillbilly trying to talk shit.
Get fucked!!! Trans rights
Nick was a redditor unfunny leftist retard. Yahtzee following him after getting fired was his worst life decision. Nick was fired becuase Yahtzee was the literal reason people watched Escapist and in 16 years there was nothing else good to really make Escapist a popular site. No improvement, just connections. And now he decided that instead of talent, he will just monetize his friends and their followers of redditor gamers probably setting up a kickstarter for a clone of escapist with even more lefties complaining about sexism in video games
I swear I once saw that guy nick defending all the shitty new paywalls on some reddit thread
funny how that turned out
Wow you seem really opinionated for someone with such a surface level grasp of the situation
Nick hired Fucking Move Bob as contributor until escapist fanbase got sick of him and Nick had to backtrack and fire him
Their patreon has less than 3k dollars a month.
Their channel will start big (out of curiousity) and the numbers will fall swiftly.
Their channel is going to be 'the escapist 2' with the same shit they've been putting out for a decade that nobody will watch.
Not to mention their conversation about the new channel was all 'no negativity allowed', 'we ban people for any little thing'.
Talk about tone deaf fucks.
yesterday it was less than 10k
which is it, homosexual?
Look for yourself you homosexual.
In case you were wondering, 3k a month an whatever measly shit they make on patreon isn't enough to pay the 10+ homosexuals they brought with them from 'the escapist'.
my god what would those 10 people even do. what the fuck were they even doing in the escapist? I thought that in one of the screenshots from the editor who was fired, he was talking about how he warned the corpo that they were over hiring a while back and won't be able to keep up. So then they left and did the same shit? I guess it would've looked bad to not take all of those who were fired but my god.
10 people makes sense.
Escapist had a few other programs besides ZP that were decently popular (obviously not ZP popular) which is why a few of them are there, and the rest are editors/cohosts, since Yahtzee only edits ZP, and other programs likely aren't edited by their hosts.
I imagine they'll do fine. Probably get up to $15K on the patreon before the end of the year, and since they're doing youtube streams they'll get shit like superchats, in addition to more basic youtube revenue, merch, promotions, etc.
There's other factors as well like Yahtzee probably not needing a lion's share of the money since he has his own side stuff.
What was the total headcount of the escapist before the recent events?
Probably a lot more than the 10-13 over at Second Wind, but the team that left was pretty much just the video side. It seems all that's left are the people that write articles for the website.
I wish Yahztee wasn't so lazy, because he should just go full solo and create his own brand and entire show. He already draw and edit his videos so he is already a contributor of 99% of Escapist profits while people like Nick and Jack only feed on his paycheck that could go entirely into his account.
>I wish yahtzee wasn't so lazy
how many books, games and bars have you made
He was co-owner I am pretty sure. Mana bar closed over a decade ago bro. Don't act like it was some hughly successful venture. He had very limited appeal even when he lived in Brisbane. I never understood his wearing thongs and jeans.
He doesn't strike me as a leader. He's a follower, through and through.
Hell, he threw away his career to follow this homosexual to his dead end venture.
Second wind? More like breaking wind, since this new channel is going to be shit.
a tweet said the vids will uncensor profanity again so this is a complete win in my book.
You'll probably have to pay to view them, which is the same system escapist had for dealing with profanity except they at least released the censored version for free, it wouldn't surprise me if these guys just don't and lock everything behind a paywall.
What kind of cocksucker for The Escapist are you? You think anybody would give a shit about them without Yahtzee.
People will click on where ever they find the fast talking fedora man.
How the fuck does Jim "Tranny" Sterling is at 10k, and Yahzee is only at 3k?
Because they only just made that channel this week.
The patreon with nothing on it?
3 posts. And right now is going to be their largest period of growth. All the goodwill from 'fuck the escapist' and 'good on them for going out on their own'.
Dont forget about you tube policies. They will lock most content under paywall and subscription because Nick is a hack with no ideas how to gain new audience and only knows how to parasite through life on Yahtzee's back. I mean he thought Movie Bob and Jack Packard are as hilarious and witty as Yahtzee. In podcasts he is also most unfunny redditor with shit opinions.
I'm watching though I like car crashes.
Yahtzee literally doesn't need to give a shit anymore. He has enough contacts, side gigs and money to stay afloat quite comfortably.
This guys opinions suck balls 8/10 times.

Bunch of shit in his farms thread on his grooming that led to his twitter being deleted.
This is form when his account got "hacked".
Any woman who cares that her boyfriend watches porn only shows her own crippling lack of confidence. Every guy needs time to get to know himself.
I want to agree but I feel like the KIND of porn is probably also a factor one needs to consider.
It sounds like the hypocrisy and broken promises is the issue here.
Porn is the same as any drugs.
I wish there were more campaigns to fight porn and porn addiction, because I'm at fault of that same shit.
But it's hard man, I'm not happy with myself but it's not just "stop doing it", it's an actual issue and if I come out asking for help I'll just be ridiculed, can only talk about it here on an anonymous site otherwise my life would be over.

>Ganker was pretty positive about it back in the day because it had more player choice
I do not believe that for a second. Your only choices were from that stupid Tower Defense mode and whether to kill the bad guy or not.
I like Razor.
He has good elocution, with great word play and commentary, but man is he cringy in general
Remember when Razorfist convinced himself the Witcher is a rip off of Elric?
As a fan of Elric I couldn't watch that video beyond the first minutes
Razor has a point in that the polack was clearly inspired by Elric and refuses to admit it, but calling Geralt a rip-off is one of those things only done by people eho haven't seen both works
Like the Kimba/Lion King thing
The only similarity between Geralt and Elric is superficial. Sapkowski just nicked the parts of Elric's visual design he thought were cool and that's about it. If anything, the Witcher is clearly "inspired by" Warhammer Fantasy, an IP VERY popular in Poland in the 90's, but he's not ever going to admit that.
>If anything, the Witcher is clearly "inspired by" Warhammer Fantasy,
But Warhammer takes from Elric more than anything else
if anything it's warhammer that is a flagrant rip-off of elric
The only thing the witcher and elric have in common is a fancy sword and a white-haired protagonist
Geralt's sword isn't even fancy. It's just a specially forged sword, but it's not a one-of-a-kind superspecial magical relic, just a different type of a regular sword.
>if anything it's warhammer that is a flagrant rip-off of elric
I think GW authors used to acknowledge Moorcock even
>The only thing the witcher and elric have in common is a fancy sword and a white-haired protagonist
Geralt doesn't even have a really fancy sword.
They're both somewhat lanky, pale, white haired, skilled swordsmen that compliment their skills with magic and alchemy. They're both gloomy, and a suffering from some arrested development. They're also both know as the White Wolf
Like, just spouting off similarities, you can see that one clearly inspired the other, but actually reading the works, you can see how very different they are in general
Is elric really skilled? isn't he just empowered by the blade and without it he's a sickly husk of an elf? Is a debilitated elf stronger than a human still?
Thinking about it, even Arthas is a closer comparison than geralt considering arthas literally weilds a mourneblade and is also a skilled swordsman empowered by a magical blade and an old god/chaos lord
Sometimes it feels like four or five guys made books and then everyone in the entire fantasy genre just stopped having ideas
Arthas was Elric, Darth Vader and Sigvald the Magnificent all rolled into one, with some King Arthur shit sprinkled on top.
I want to say he's also Malekith, but Malekith is already a blatant Vader ripoff.
Fantasy storytelling is circular in reality.
>Is elric really skilled?
Yes. There's a few times he doesn't use Stormbringer
>isn't he just empowered by the blade and without it he's a sickly husk of an elf? Is a debilitated elf stronger than a human still?
Melniboneans aren't that different from humans, Elric also doesn't need the sword to get strength, he has his herbs and potions, the sword is just better/faster
It’s not a rip off but I like to bring that up just to make the Witcher fans mad

Pic not related. Razorfist doesn't play what he reviews. I seem to agree with his opinions on politics but he has shit taste in gaming. Also, how he downplays the dumbing down games by Bethesda kind of make him deserve Th4if.
This guy is a sub 90 iq coomer. I can see why you'd pretend like him if you tried to be contrarian.
At least Ben's wife doesn't whore herself out against his will
>political science degree

>Spoony but a metalhead
I've been rewatching spoony's counter monkey stuff recently. I miss him.
Yes but I can at least believe they're his opinions
His opinions are coloured from being a britbong living in straya most of his career. I mean he, with a straight face, claimed the CoD/BF fanbase is right wing gun nuts and that the games had some sort of right wing agenda.
Not an agenda, but an undercurrent. COD: Ghosts was a game where South and Central America hack America's doomsday weapons.
>using gross yellow as background
Good riddance
Anyone who ever was a serious fan of Zero Punctuation is a creature infinitely more deHispanicable than a vtranny, and is in fact very nearly in the same tier as an RLM fan.
This post is so desperate for attention I feel compelled to give it out of pity
Zero Punctuation and RLM is a boomer core centrist kino, nothing wrong with them for not fighting any culture war
Did you see his Hogwarts Legacy review?
he has zero ideas on trannies and thinks they are natural like gay people, its not like he made entire video to shit on Rowling
>Zero ideas on trannies
>Calls Rowling a terf
Anon, anyone that thinks super lefty JK "welcome refugees and naggers" Rowling is an extreme anything is beyond retarded
>Calls Rowling a terf
She is a TERF, people can use it as a derogatory term but it doesn't make it less of a position.
It's like calling someone a racist for hating blacks (duhhh)
>She is a TERF
What does it even mean? "Dykes that don't think men are women?" That's a position everyone should have because it's basic facts
>people can use it as a derogatory term
And he's obviously doing it. He automatically dislikes Rowling because she doesn't think a dude in a dress is a woman, how's that not super faggy?
>it's basic facts
pick up a biology textbook made in the past 30 years, you'll find that sex and gender are:
1. not the same thing
2. not as simple as you think
Even biologists can't define what a man or woman is (sex-wise) without excluding some men or women, because biology is fucking weird and complicated.
>unironically defending tranny ideology on Ganker
Lol,
Lmao even
You can grit your teeth about it all you want, scientific fact still disagrees with you.
>scientific fact
so lets talk about how researchers are getting banned from accessing
materials just because they want to study something that goes against the current lib worldview.
Sure.
For example?
>thefederalist dot com
hmm yes my favorite source for scientific journalism
That aside, the study collected data from parents (and only the parents) who posted on anti-trans websites. So already the study shows massive bias from the get-go.
Methodology aside, the reason that study was pulled was because it required editing to clarify the study's results and goals. You can literally google it right now and find the corrected study in full on PLOS ONE, which now plainly states that it's to do with parents' reports.
p.s. the author of the study, Dr. Littman, is a pro-LGBT liberal by her own admission
>hmm yes my favorite source for scientific journalism
Lol, the federalist is breaking the news of the repressed research, it's publishing its own. It's like saying Fox News is wrong for stating that the sky is blue because you don't like them
>That aside, the study collected data from parents (and only the parents) who posted on anti-trans websites.
And? That's the entire point. It needed to tally parents that weren't supportive of it, because otherwise you'd get the usual bullshit of "Ashley said she was a boy at age 3". These were pro-lgbt parents worried at what they were seeing happening to their child
Once again "I don't like, so it's not valid"
>You can literally google it right now and find the corrected study in full on PLOS ONE, which now plainly states that it's to do with parents' reports
>You can now find the redacted study, now corrected to properly fit the prevailing narrative
Once again lol
Lmao even
>Even biologists can't define what a man or woman is (sex-wise) without excluding some men or women
when did less than 0.0001% of the population be enough to break an entire branch of science?
Just because some freaks were born, it does not break the rule. Sex is a real thing, gender is not science.
If your theory can't account for every scenario then it is useful as a heuristic at best. If someone found some weird particle that has mass yet its gravity doesn't scale with 1/distance squared then the entire theory of gravity would need to be revised, even if this particle is only 0.000000001% of the matter in the universe.
>If your theory can't account for every scenario then it is useful as a heuristic at best
Trans theory doesn't account for every scenario. Shit, almost no science does except maybe mathematics
>theorical science that is not even in the same field
The difference is that bs happening a million lightyears on Earth simply does not matter at all.
Pluto is not a planet anymore, and nothing has changed.
Try a science that actually impacts humans next time you want to compare it to biology, or at least in the same field.
>Science says we coincidentally self-assembled from stardust in a vaccum, randomly evolved from goo and that humans are naggermonkeys that chopped out their tails
>>*basedface*
>Science also says a man who choos off their dick can be a woman
>>*angry basedface
It's your fault and your burden to bare for abandoning the scriptural truth
who are you talking to?
no amount of semantic bullshit written by pedophiles could ever make it true that a six foot man with a dick and balls between his legs is a woman
>0.000000001%
im pretty sure unironically thats way too low for a theory to care about, usually there is an odd bunch in a scientific conclusion but its left out if it does not happen frequently enough to be consistent and if everything else IS consistent.
exceptions exist all the time but it doesnt prove the rule
Maybe in some social science. In physics any exceptions ruin your theory and you need a new one to explain what is happening in that case and predict other cases where the old theory is wrong.
Literally everyone outside of US and British ideological academia cam perfectly define sex and gender. In fact only with new english terminology is there a difference, not in any other language. Now go 42%.
>you'll find that sex and gender are:
>1. not the same thing
Yeah, one has existed for eons before we even evolved and the other is made up by post modernists aka commies and israelites.
damn right! Trans rights = human rights
what does that even mean?
can you not read or do you have comprehensive issues?
kek, any time you see someone writing this much about sex and gender being different you know theyre just coping
>Extremely rare biological anomalies mean we should be able to castrate your children goyim
Fuck off.
>because biology is fucking weird and complicated
its not. you just look at the chromosomes and you get someones sex and gender.
its basic facts, and heckin science.
>What does it even mean?
Trans exclusionary radical feminist. Which is what Rowling is (I guess you could argue the radical part).
Although I do find it funny how she didn't start off that way, she was supportive of trannies. Her original sin was saying that there's a difference between the experiences of biological women and trannies, which sparked so much outrage that it drove her to hating trannies in general.
>Supports trannies until coming in contact with them
How strange. Imagine if Rowling discover ed why people hate naggers and arabs too
I used to be the same way, except I grew up with ghetto rats so I knew how they actually were. I still fell for the BLM meme, what turned me off of it completely was how my white liberal friends acted when I joked about hating black people. These tards grew up in nice suburbs because of their white parents, and yet they constantly treat their parents like shit and worship ghetto rats they've never had to live around.
Even the white TERFs will gasp when you're honest about black people. They're all the same brainrot.
I'm sorry to the rightoids, they were right about a lot.
>I still fell for the BLM meme
I feel like that riots were the turning point for a lot of people
I was already kinda racist by that point, so when the initial shock happened (where everyone was almost universally for the protests) and the naggers started burning and looting and getting praised for it, I fully committed to the racism
And honestly, I can't understand how pathetic you have to be to not do it. I never had overwhelmingly bad experiences with naggers until the riots, where besides the media circus, I also watched Black acquaintances defend and chimp out their fellow vine swingers, and in the following months whine about racism like never before
Yeah, they used to be bad, but these past 5 years black people have gotten so much worse. I didn't even used to hate them, I knew a lot of elderly black people in my neighborhood that were really nice people. But now hoodrats have been emboldened by MSM support, since they're at the top of the oppression pyramid. But now they're so awful, they burned down grocery stores during BLM, robbed local stores, and have made the city landscape so horrific that starbucks and friends are fleeing as fast as they can. Criminals, which are mostly black in cities, are just being dumped right back on the street because they're so oppressed, which means they turn around and keep victimizing other black people and the unfortunate others that have to live around them. And black people defend this, and so do their retarded white liberal masters. If you so much as point out how BLM and being soft on black criminals is making race relations worse, you'll be cancelled by hordes of retarded white liberals. No wonder asians, latinos are going republican.
Glorifying ghetto culture instead of constantly shitting on it was a massively wrong move by burgers.
Definitely the worst part of it all wasn't the damages, it was the Black worshipping going to overdrive
>Yes, Nick, I promise not to get us demonetised in the first thirty seconds. So, as I’m sure you know, Hogwarts Legacy is based on the work of JK Rowling, who is a massive TERFy C-word. As such, reviewing it puts one in an awkward position online, as the feeling in some circles is that even acknowledging it is giving oxygen to her and her horrible C-word opinions. But damn it I have a job to do and I feel bad for the no doubt hundreds of ground-level people on the dev team who probably think she’s a C-word as much as any of us at this point, so how about this: I’ll review the game strictly on its own merits, but start out by affirming as clearly as possible that I think JK Rowling is a – we’re past thirty seconds now, right? Cunt. Does that offset things enough?
So what's the problem here? Addressing seething trannies before they go twitter-jihad on him?
Based Yahtzee
Fuck JK
You will never be a woman.
what did she do
Ironically, this would make a perfect line in a Zero Punctuation review.
He better get a real job now. lmao
ZP has been a side gig to him for a very long time.
Damn I was hoping for Laika review
Still have to play it, the demo was good. But there's a surprisingly large amount for me to work through, I haven't wrapped up Moonring yet and I've got Robocop after that.
Ohhh noo, not the whiny libtard reviewer. What a great loss for the internet. Get fucked.
>he doesn't know
You know he wasnt fired right?
I liked a lot of his videos back in the late 2000s but the only thing I saw of his recently was a vlog where he went to a con and he was wearing a face mask and complaining that he was the only one doing so. Can’t say I’m too interested in his output after seeing that
Hm yes very interesting that the only thing you've seen from him in recent years is an incredibly specific scenario surrounding the most retarded discourse in recent human history. I'm sure you only happened upon this scenario at all because you surround yourself in shit you don't like so you can act like a fucking intellectual on a chinese pictograph forum.
Hi Yahtzee
Hi no argument.
haven't watched a ZP in like five years but vidya humor was slim pickings back then
F
I don't know this videogame.
>I don't know this videogame.
Because you're retarded
https://store.steampowered.com/app/403700/Zero_Punctuation_Hatfall__Hatters_Gonna_Hat_Edition/
Cool, are you talking about it or any of the shit one day games this homosexual made?
Are you going to apply to be a janny? I bet both your question and mine will bear the same answer.
I used to go to The Escapist every day to watch ZP, Unskippable, MovieBob, and Jim Sterling. Don't know what the fuck I was thinking with the last two, I guess they had their rare moment when I agreed with them to continue watching. After Yahtzee moved to the US he was very clearly drinking the liberal kool-aid and steadily became more insufferable and I got sick of him after I realized how often he's talked about games he's never played. I last checked out a ZP video about a year ago and he was still bitching about Trump for some reason, but had a decent video about graphics this year. Wonder if he'll dust off his old Youtube channel.
>2007 was 16 years ago
fuck
>Wonder if he'll dust off his old Youtube channel.
Having new LDO with Gabe would be nice, but alas no chance for it.
Remember the time when Yahtzee was mindbroken by "boobie boobie bum bum"?
>Wonder if he'll dust off his old Youtube channel.
I think it's possible. He uploaded a trailer of his new game on that channel a few months ago. I just checked the channel page and man, I can't believe LDO ended 7 years ago.
Sterling was always entertaining, specially in a sea of mouth breathing journos that eat up whatever was popular
The fact that he's one of the most repulsive creatures in existence has obviously affected that, but it was a gradual thing before freefalling
CineRoberto actually had some interesting takes on film coming his unique perspective of a sufficiently well spoken perennial failure of a 90s kid consoomer with an over inflated sense of ego, his video on Kevin Smith gor example is pretty good, because you can tell how much Bob lived vicariously through him
The Kevin Smith video was the first blob video I ever watched and it made me cringe so hard everything I've ever heard about him since is just par for the course
Did you cringe because you thought it was bad or because how uncomfortable you found how much Bob was clearly projecting himself on Smith?
I think Sterling was always willing to go the distance to be disgusting, and that was part of his humour. Squeezing into a spandex unitard and starting wrestling was an example of this. But then he transitioned and you were expected to stop laughing.
At this point I still don't get if Sterling trooned out as a joke or he's for real.
the fat helps disguise any male features, at that point he was essentially a genderless blob of lard, trooning out was the natural conclusion
I quit watching him when he dropped the fascist gaming leader visual because of "real fascists" but I don't really remember if he was really disgusting before that
It's 100% real and genuinely one of the most viscerally repulsive things I've ever witnessed
>watched a few of his vids a while ago
>one of his reviews he literally puts out a half assed review and states that he's not going to finish the game because he has other things to review
>it was a good game and he gave it a bad review because he didn't want to put any actual time into it
I wasn't watching that shit anymore after that, he's just as bad as IGN. Good riddance.
If it's such a good game, why don't you say the name of it.
Probably some open world slop, an Ubisoft game
Because I forgot, it was something recent that was critically acclaimed but I don't remember exactly what.
His shit opinion isn't worth remembering other than the fact that it was shit so I knew to avoid it
>it's so good I immediately forgot it despite watching the video recently
>I forgot
opinion discarded
>it was so good i forgot it existed
>Yahtzee MUST play 100% of this game or this will make me MAD
it was ff16
Reminds me of the Wonderful101 review (WiiU) from Blistered Thumbs, the old TGWTG/Channel Awesome vidya website that was shut down a long while ago. Whoever they picked for writing it went
>"I stopped playing the game after 47 minutes because I can't be assed to learn the game's control scheme. 2/10"
Because a fucking youtuber quit? Get a grip.
Yes just like Michael Jackson comepletely changed the music industry
I am simply in awe at the level of dick sucking in that statement. To compare the guy whose pull in the industry amounted to getting two studios to draw art for him to Michael Jackson is just amazing.
>youtuber
He needs to be paired with someone who will tard wrangle him better.
Nick will pair him with that fat neckbeard woke redditor or furries who literally use their lizard vtuber persona while talking with Yahtz. Everything about Escapist was cringe and Yahztee always fell out of place. Them hirin MovieBob and AIDS Moby was the most typical thing they would do.
yahtzhee has/had bad taste, so his opinion doesn't matter in a sea of bad taste
no he didnt; yes it does
The time of the millennial is over. Now is the age of the zoomer!
GTA4 review
>"it was a game enjoyable enough that I'm actually going to keep playing it after this review"
Saints Row 2 or 3 review months later
>"actually I only thought GTA4 was good because I forgot what fun was THIS is the real deal guys!"
I can't stand reviewers whose opinions are so worthless that they can't even stand by them less than a fucking year later.
Him being a Brit living in Australia with TDS made him an even bigger homosexual
>I only thought GTA4 was good because I forgot what fun was THIS is the real deal guys
God forbid people change their opinion on topics.
What part of "less than a year later" don't you understand retard? If the fucking idiot can't even agree with his own opinion on whether he enjoys a game or not with a matter of months then what value does his opinion have?
>What part of "less than a year later" don't you understand retard?
So what is the time limit on how long an opinion has to be kept?
>I like X
Time passes
>actually X is shit
If you're a reviewer try to base your stance on the product in such a way that the passing of time alone isn't a deciding factor. Is that so hard to understand?
He's continuing Zero Punctuation under the name "Fully Ramblomatic", I dunno why people are being so overdramatic.
Remember this?
>Dude what if we mixed drunk people and expensive electronics. Can't possibly fail.
STANDING
Different situation. In Chick E Cheese the parents need the booze to deal with all the annoying children screaming and terrible robot band music. They're off in the corners just staying sober enough to make sure their kids stay in the field of vision.
Oh well than Yahtzee is probably just a shit businessman. Cocktails are for homosexuals anyways. Sounds like a gay bar.
>Cocktails are for homosexuals anyways.
t.brainlet
>They're off in the corners just staying sober enough
Anon, Cuck e Cheesy is infamous for having drunk people fighting each other every week.
If you sell alcohol, you gonna have fights. People won't start handling their drinking because of their hellspawn.
yet those types of bars have become pretty common.
what year are you living right now dude barcades are a pretty popular concept right now
Didn't it fail because some dude stole money or something?
Yeah, it was one of the founders I think, he stole them out of business as well as the location I think.
It was a shit idea and who the fuck lives in Australia lmao
I've been there, it was a smart cramped bar with overpriced cocktails and miserable looking bar staff. And that was on opening week
Will we see the return of LDO?
no, gabe's completely fucked in the head from TDR, vaxx and interacting with a tranny
good riddance, his opinions were dogshit and he associated himself with that pig Jim Sterling amongst other trannies
qdr?
Retarded suit naggers thinking they matter and not the people they employ.
This time it backfired so bad the talent just left and made their own company within days.
More specific? I am not israelitetuber schizms
>fire half your workforce
>tell the remaining half to work twice as hard
>act surprised when they resign en masse
Pretty satisfying to see goyim suits btfo for once
he was always a fag
I just hope whatever he does next he stops fucking complaining about politics and climate change and "nazis" and stays on topic.
I love him but he was getting insufferable over the last year or 2.
Gonna cry chuddy?
The worst potential outcome is that he becomes extremely lazy and just streams occassionaly to keep his money coming in.
If you have an established fanbase for well over a decade they literally dont care what you do and will keep giving you money as long as you exist.
I don't see why he wouldn't just continue the videos by himself. It can't be that hard to produce these that he needs a whole team.
The Escapist owns the rights to zero punctuation, so he can't legally do it on his own. That's how they kept him hostage all these years.
He said in the Second Wind introduction video that his reviews will continue in a familiar fashion under a new name
?t=999
I miss Gabe...
Based Gabe posting! I still watch old videos of them and I'm quite partial to Keep Et Classy
So that's why yahtzee called him a fat fuck all the time
has has a beard now which in his words maxes out his daddy meter
pale shrek
not even human shrek, he'd call him pale shrek all the time lul
yahtzee should help his old friend out of poverty and get him away from that tranny
Her name is Amber ya dick!
Aaron should get some hair plugs
>dead naming someone
not cool bro
are you subbed to his onlyfans?
not just a decent human who tries to respect others.
>decent human being
why are you indulging the mentally ill in their delusions?
>decent human
if you were, you wouldn't be spending time on a mongolian basket weaver forum arguing with retards
Nah, because respect should work both ways. And trannies are the most narcissistic people on the planet.
>just one more degree Benjamin, have some faith!
Good for him on pursuing his dream of becoming a teacher?
Is a BA degree in Australia really this big of a deal? In my country you are considered a lazy twat for only having a BA and not an full MA.
He quit teaching and became a youtuber/streamer with a tranny
and Podcaster c'mon dude
I hear he's in good with the local super superintendent
What a healthy looking woman!
> This is not a mentall illness I swear
Honestly I feel so fucking bad for Gabe. Too depressed and lazy to work, and your only friend trooning out. What can you even do in that situation?
why are white people like this. like holy fuck ahahahahahahaah
how is this thread any different from vtranny gossip?
It's okay, am sure the escapist got plenty of material to run his voice trough an AI model so they can make more videos without this fag
This nigga dropped in relevance 10 years ago anyway
If you want peak Gabe and Yahtzee watch their Normality LP. They're on fire and you can watch Yahtzee lose is mind over "booby booby bum bum"
?si=fbmWWuLM6_LJKn7f
Yeah, the shitty smug millenial era. And thats a good thing.
I stopped watching him around the time he tried to do a TV show and realized he really has nothing else going for him besides his one tired schtik
That was over a long time ago when they had to get rid of licensed music for the intro and outro

you mean the furry cuck openly slurping lgbqtbraaaaaaaap cock who was never ever touched by a woman
every youtuber who's active and has more than 1 million subscribers is le algo face politically correct kid friendly shit
Almost everything was inspired by something, works of art are not made in a vacuum, this isnt a bad thing. When something has been copied wholesale its usually evident.
soulless TotalBiscuit
I remember Yahtzee got invited to a podcast with TB and Jesse Cox. And those two were running circles around him when it comes to vidya industry knowledge. Doesn't help that Yahtzee really IS a shy autist, so they could never get anything out of him.
Hope he finishes his comfy space trucker game soon. Curious to see how it turns out
>gaming
I play one game at a time, homosexuals like this guy must do nothing but play 3 games a day

I still remember his Monster Hunter Tri review. Good shit.
why do people act like this is the end of zero punctuation when he has literally no reason to not just start up again with the entire former escapist team at his back under a new alias
I mean, Zero Punctuation isn't even Yahtzee's best creation. That would be either LDO or Mogworld.
>Mogworld.
This was unfunny drivel. I liked Pratchett growing up but I hated Yahtzee's feeble impersonation of him.
how come games media is ignoring this story?
it was on bbc even!
Too problematic for game journos

I wonder.
Now he can finally go to space.
>I just wanted to go to space
>Gabe about to explain how he ejaculated into a woman's hand bag
>Yahtzee begging him to please stop telling this story
shit was so funny
He fell off hard for me when his contract was revised as such that he wasn't even finishing games anymore before putting a review out. That's the worst kind of critique/journalism, and I know he's a comedic writer but it was still very annoying.
If you have to cover a game a week you're gonna end up in that kind of situation when you play 50-80 hour games.
And I have my sympathies for him but he did used to finish games before putting a video out, unlike the hundreds of other reviewers out there. So when he started doing what they do, I had no more reason to tune in.
What older games were that long for one playthrough?
Although he also didn't get even close to finishing something like Sekiro, so the argument that the games are just longer isn't that solid
>What older games were that long for one playthrough?
A lot. Esp. a lot of strategy games. Say Warzone 2100. Or RPG's like Ultima. Older games with no end is an MMO like Ultima Online. or Everquest. very time consuming.
He only gave up on Lies of P as that was another Souls clone.
He's basically explained that he's sick of basically 1/3 to like a half of the games he reviews being Souls clones.
He does books and stuff as well.
But it's a good Souls clone
>watched so much of his stuff some of his UK/british terms got injected into my lexicon
i'm a shit american lol
Video games, stupid homosexual, VIDEO GAMES.
He survived a #MeTooing and he's back at it again! How is ProJared putting the DEAD in Dead Island 2 Only a way to find out!
I still think the beat LDO episode is the Oregon Trail one.
It just has so many quotable moments.

bongland got invaded by ngubus and expats got muricanized
he got ass cancer and died
being british stopped being cool
the spiffing brit still exists but fuck he's annoying
It’s vogue to be Irish or Scottish these days
>Jacksepticeye
>Dahti
>RTGame
>CallMeKevin
>BigMooney06
>Limmy
Jacksepticeye is so fucking annoying, mainly because I know his real voice isn't that obnoxious.
BigMooney is the most based person on that list. The Escapist is coco-poped, they’re not coming back.
>all of them are the most annoying liberal fags in the world
i thought the irish were supposed to be based
The irish have comfy lands and hot women and that's it.
There was only one based Irish channel.
this guy is funny channel name is francis higgins think
Francis/Viper Higgins. Made an entire YouTube channel based on a character he played in an Irish TPB knock-off. Does skits, though he hasn't put out a vid in like a year. This one's my favorite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOCRJJKPFBc
He's based because he grew up in rural Mayo which for Americans it's like growing up in some back water twin peaks type place. It's not like places like Dublin where it's full of woke cunts.
What’s the consensus on Cork?
Any big city like cork or Galway or Dublin is going to have woke sorts compared to more rural places like Mayo
He does live streams every so often. Him going to Germany last year and live streaming it was great as he always lands himself in weird situations like getting locked inside a coffee shop or stumbling on the filming of a movie
>Irish
>Based
Please tell me you're joking
The Spiffing Brit's entire personality is "I am le british you see I love le tea" and in any instance where he has to interact with other people he instantly clams up and barely says anything because he is genuinely autistic with zero personality. Yahtzee made being British part of his personality but it was more than just saying "British" and "Yorkshire Tea," namely he actually did the real British tradition of shittalking his country while living elsewhere (and still saying wherever he lived is worse anyway).
Regular reviewers are inherently bad. They basically have to play the latest overhyped garbage and they never have the time to finish them. So any game that doesn't play like the modern slop that they are used to will have basic mechanics ignored because they think that any game that isn't made for an illiterate retard with a controller is badly designed.
Press [S] to spit
yahtzee was never good and the Gankerermintide and netzines that gave him a platform deserve the world we livein now
Did this The Escapist have any relevance?
I don't understand this video game culture shit, so to me it was just some guy reviewing games who had a fan base, but how the hell does that become a company full of employees? What were those employees doing? Was it a company full of hookers to suck his dick while he narrates 3-minute videos every month?
Escapist existed before he started his series, after he uploaded his first two videos on his channel they contacted him and hired him on. It was a good deal for him at the time since it meant he actually had "proper" employment (remember, this was youtube in 2007) and he got early access to games and sometimes hardware for free.
He ended up being so popular that he was practically carrying the escapist on his back.
Escapist had relevance around 2005-2015. After that, and a bunch of shitshows, the only thing keeping it alive was Yahtzee and his ZP who was too lazy to move on.
I remember Shamus Young was a part of Escapist at one point. He was such a good dude, I'm going to miss him.
He's apparently going to continue doing his reviews, but I'm curious how he's gonna do it. I wonder if he'll keep using like the 20 year old copy of Windows Movie Maker here has.
Anyone seen Marty Sliva, he looks like Der Juden from a Nazi propo poster, though he claims not to be of the tribe. He is literally ratfaced, not even being anti-semetic.
It's pronounced ce'perré-s- U -n you phillistines
?si=P3HID8rawoCEKrE0
checkmate fags
is this by the inventor?
no?
don't care, fuck off
I concede to the sheer audacity of making a pronunciation channel as a non-native english speaker with a heavy accent
imagine trying to act smug about how people pronounce the name of your dogshit sugar water
My biggest concern is whether Second Wind is going to get the early access codes for reviews.
By this point they should just name it "Yahtzee plays" because literally nobody else had any relevancy at Escapist. Do people even know Jack AIDS MOBY from RLM worked there for the last few years?
They honestly should have put his dumb egghead in the thumbnails like clickbait channels do. It's a cancerous practice, but I guarantee it'd drive more traffic to his videos since people would recognize him from RLM
>Jack Packard
LMAO doesn anyone remember "Slightly Civil War"? It seems even Yahtzee coudn't make Jack interesting and they pulled a plug on it already in 2021
>MAO doesn anyone remember "Slightly Civil War"?
That was the one with Jim Sterling, right? I miss when him and Yahtzee used to do stuff together.
Uncivil war was the one with Sterling, slightly civil war was the one with Jack
Jim Sterling worked with Yahtzee? I guess that explain why would he not be mean to trannies.
They both worked for the Escapist, but Sterling quit long before he became a tranny, so I don't think it has much to do with that
Might watch some of his old stuff. I think it wil be a good reminder that 2007-2013 was terrible for video games. I'm seeing too many people starting to imply that it wasn't a garbage gen. Gaming didn't start to recover until the Switch and PS4.
Ace Attorney Trilogy
Alice Madness Returns
GTA V
Mario Galaxy
MGR
Nier
Sleeping Dogs
Some obscure jap games like Deadly Premonition, Resonance Of Fate, Lollipop Chainsaw.
That's about it for me. Not a very eventful generation in my opinion
>2007-2013
Why did you exclude 2014 widely considered one of the worst years in general?
2013 has GTA V and Metal Gear Rising which signifies when games started to get good again I think GTAV's colourful style made it so trend-followers stopped with the horrble brown n gray that was so ubiquitous at the time.
>has GTA V and Metal Gear Rising which signifies when games started to get good again
Eh. 2014 was terrible again. And honestly 4 was a better game.
>I think GTAV's colourful style made it so trend-followers stopped with the horrble brown n gray that was so ubiquitous at the time.
I think that was FarCry3. Much brighter
2007 gave us Bioshock. That alone made 2007 the best year for vidya.
>pretending yahtzee was even remotely relevant past 2013
Are you also crying about Rooster Teeth dying? Nobody has given a shit about this dude for 10 years.
To be honest Nick joined 5 years ago and the only thing he did was hiring only woke lefty people to do reviews. Not sure why Yahtzee think he is such a genius to choose him over Escapist? Why not just go full solo and take 100% of the profits instead sharing with NIck and Jack Packard? They dont contribute anything other than handling accounting and tax shit
It's mostly because they handle the editing and and video upload part of it.
He can't be bothered running his own channel. He hasn't had to do it for a decade and a half.
He's rich.
I mean if you've got money and you're carrying the company anyway, when the corpos start doing shady shit the right choice is to leave.
Now why he chooses to stay with Nick can probably only be explained by it being a habit or worse, friendship.
Nick was also pretty good at getting them early copies and stuff.
I tried to give other at Escapist a chance but just listen to this smug shit
Everyone beside Yahtzee was either a prick or woke snoyboy. Movie bob or Jack Packard are the kind Nick will force upon Yahtzee
I liked the video about the futility of voting with your wallet
The consumer rights Banana one was pretty cool.
>games being difficult is le bad
I hate this kind of people. You just know he wanted to signal his Kotaku friends to maybe hire him
Marty is so much worse, he's actually dog shit to the extreme. He played SH2 with everything on Easy and plays all the games that let him on journo mode.
He’s old guard from IGN, what do you expect? Yahtzee bashed the IGN review buying in an episode of Slightly Something Else and Marty nearly sperged out.
Lmao, do you know what episode that is?
Marty is also so fucking ugly I want to put him on a pedestal in a modern art museum.
Somewhere in this one.
Thanks, will enjoy.
It's about 24 minutes in I think
Movie Bob is such a amazing lolcow
>Gets fired from the Escapist because he can control his autism during GG and kept threatening and insulting people that he disagrees with
>gets rehired years later and gets fired for having constant meltdowns against "right-wingers".
Yahtzee also called him movie blob on like one of his Black Mesa streams.
I kind of agree with his point here, people will often use "git gud" to deflect from criticism
To be honest Jack got more redpilled with Yahtzee than when he wroked with RLM. I think he gave Last of Us part 2 a 1/10 for all the bullshit they put in it
What's even Jacks deal and why is he hated besides being mildly unfunny?
I haven't watched anything with him in besides a few RLM episodes.
He was as unfunny as Movie Bob but not as controversial. He was just an annoying nice guy redditor
In fairness, nobody can be the apex predator like Movie Blob. I'm not joking about that, he got into like a twitter argument and was saying something like that.
Movieblob is the most internet tough guy I ever seen, besides maybe Tonkasaw
He huffs and puffs all day, tweets implications that he can bench 260 pounds and totally knows how to fight, but folds like a paper the second someone is slightly aggressive with him. When John Milius daughter called him a stupid fat fuck you could tell he was about to cry
Nostalgia Chick calling him out for basically stalking her twitter was the funniest shit.
Oh yeah, I laughed and laughed at that.
The memes were some of the best of all time
I'd like to think that's Bob doing that on the anger part of his cope swing.
100% chance it was Ganker shitposters
Yeah probably, but imagining Movie blob doing it with angry tears in his eyes is funnier.
Bob wishes he was this fucking funny
Oh yeah you're right Bob is criminally unfunny.
He’s surprisingly good as the DM for Adventure is Nigh. I started watching one episode when I bored out of my mind at work and it actually held my attention.
it sucks just how much yahtzee won, in the end...
He also married his wife when he was like 35 and she was like 24.
stopped watching his stuff a while ago because he kept taking jabs at chuds
even when i agreed with him they were just out of place and annoying
rest in piss you whiny bitch
Its hard being a centrist. On one hand you aren't in either cult and have full freedom of speech to shit on diversity and tradition, but on the hand you are hated by both tribes and neutral to anyone else
i just glaze my eyes
boy i'm tired
But Yahtzee was always against wokeness and forced quirky diversity feminist protagonists. Why can't he embrace full chuddery?
he's married and has kids now
>But Yahtzee was always against wokeness and forced quirky diversity feminist protagonists
Only when he was a bitter bachelor living in Brisbane
Getting married changed all of that
>jimmy always liked playing with barbies, why can't he just chop his dick off?
I used to watch him when I was a teenager but stopped watching in my 20s as I grew out of his juvenile sense of humour.
Don't worry you'll grow back into it
I'm 33
I stand by what I said
Didn't he start doing these by himself and posting them on something awful? How the fuck did the escapist end up with the rights to zeropunctuation?
I stopped watching when he hated Demon's Souls but loved Dark Souls because it was popular.
I will forever love this weird cope Fromshills made up about Yahtzee. Demon Souls just wasn't as good as Dark Souls. Why the fuck is that so hard to grasp?
It's the same fucking game with a different setting. You can't hate one and then love the other.
Demon's Souls is beta Dark Souls. He even reviewed Demon's Souls and the TL;DW is that he liked it better than he remembered, but it's still worse than Dark Souls.
More weird cope. He shat on larger and more popular franchises. Why would Dark Souls be the one to make him cave?
>He even reviewed Demon's Souls and the TL;DW is that he liked it better than he remembered, but it's still worse than Dark Souls.
Well, he's still wrong
nah man, he got filtered and then hopped on the bandwagon when he realized h everyone else loved it and he was just bad
Why doesn't he do that for every game he shits on but is popular then? Maybe he just gave it a fair shot and changed his mind?
He hated DS too. Only got into it right before DS2 after being pestered about it for a long long time.
>movie bob is still doing videos
holy shit yahtz is bald?
He's in his 40s, what do you expect
bros balder than the fuckin' NERD!!
He's 40 and British, the fact he has any is a miracle, most of their women can't even manage that.
To be honest Rich wasn't any better doing game reviews than Jack. I would say Jack was at least mor humorous and crititical while Rich went full on IGN mode. Rich isn't funny unless prompted by Jay and Mike
>Rich isn't funny unless prompted by Jay and Mike
Rich is mostly funny as Mike's punching bag and as a laugh track
He has his own funny moments
Whoops wrong one
Why are so many nerds bald? I see this even in my own family as I'm bald but my 3 normie non nerd brothers all have perfect hair
Low testosterone
Isn't baldness linked to high test?
>It’s not the amount of testosterone or DHT that causes baldness; it’s the sensitivity of your hair follicles. That sensitivity is determined by genetics. The AR gene makes the receptor on hair follicles that interact with testosterone and DHT. If your receptors are particularly sensitive, they are more easily triggered by even small amounts of DHT, and hair loss occurs more easily as a result. Other genes may also play a part.
no
All of these are myths
It's 99% genetic
Ok let's rephrase the question. Why are 99% of nerds dysgenic?
>Why are 99% of nerds dysgenic?
You got those the wrong way around. Dysgenic people become nerds because they don't fit into "normal" society
Chronic masturbation causes hair loss
lcd screens actually kill your hair, that's why the hairline 'recedes', it's in the screen's los while you're staring at it
I like DS but the souls fans are some of the weirdest obnoxious retards around.
>A certain era of gaming had ended
I wish. Sadly there's even more retarded normalfags out there who get celebrated as "video game experts" while constantly exposing themselves as idiots with garbage taste.
>niche anglo eceleb
half the board doesn't know him or care. so piss off
