Okay, just as a question: Am I overanalyzing things, or did Bob as of May 27 2016 really make a joke about Johnny Depp's dead mother, even if it was just indirectly by making a comment about the divorce?

That is in extremely bad taste.

"No one in the general public knows ... what Overwatch is."

Does Bob not realize that video games are actually bigger than the movie industry now? Big games are at least as mainstream as major blockbusters.

It's so obscure, it literally sold out on FUCKING AMAZON.

 

[Gordon Cole]

He should have a showdown with Cole Smithey.

Both have pretty noticeable similarities such as thinking that having a big vocabulary makes them smart, a patronizing demeanor, contrarian for the sake of being contrarian views, and (allegedly in Bob's case) screwed-up families. I'd have to say I prefer Cole for just being arrogant instead of a delusional man child like Bob.

No, he's also compared video game bullshit with both Vietnam and I think 9/11. The dude is legitimately emotionally stunted.

Or because of :autism:

No, I don't think it is :autism:. I think it is pure retardation.

I never really took his thoughts seriously, but I honestly lost respect for Bob when he slammed down on FPS games.

I don't care if someone doesn't like FPS games, but his sole motivation for it is that they aren't Mario. He's that fucking autistic.

 

[Splendid]

Mario is extremely overrated anyway. I know he's an icon, but video games have gone through a lot of development over the last couple of decades with more meat on their bones, and he seems really underdeveloped in comparison.

You seem to be making a lot of posts that don't contribute to threads at all recently.

 

[Ntwadumela]

I believe Bob is reading too much into this.

There. I did something. Happy?

I feel like I should be the last person putting his two cents in, given my name. At first I was surprised that Rooster Teeth didn't can his ass after they took over Screwattack, but then I saw the date was August 30th of last year, and I was immediately corrected.

God, he talks so fast.

His research on Nazi occultism is commendable for one of his caliber, though.

this entire video is the equivalent of an NC Editorial.
He jabs on about a subject that no one with more than three braincells would take serious and then just gives the common sense answer as it is: No, this is not racism, this is just a dude who made a comic who did not even put all that much thought into it.
Seriously. As off topic as the information is, Akira Toriyama made a lot of shit up for DB on the fly, including probably the Super Saiyajin thing. As for blackface Popo, so what? It was the 80s in Japan, stereotypical character designs were still okay back then and if anything Popo, thanks to the look, has more similarities to an arabian fairy tale servant than a minstrel show.


Say, considering Bob's obsession with Mario, has there ever been a time he went on to actively bash another Nintendo property, because he believed it took fame away from his beloved plumber?

Bob no longer posts content for Screwattack. I believe his contract has ended before Rooster Teeth joined them.

Not Mario-jealousy, but he's spoken disdainfully of the much-beloved Metroid Prime series because they were (sneer) first person shooters, a genre that has contributed to decline of gaming culture and the rise of dudebrofratboy players. That was his actual, literal rationale.

Well, aside of the obvious I meant. Cause that the guy hates first person shooters cause "fratboys" I already know. Makes you wonder if he hated basketball in case he got bullied by black kids.

I think what really annoys me with this guy is that he considers himself almost an elitist in regard of his opinions, but in reality he motormouths most of the time just basic opinions everyone has, sparked with almost religious faith in the Mario franchise.

Bob's newest video so far

Uhh, Bob? Certain movies were considered classics because the majority of people found them to be really that good, and believed them to have withstood the test of time. They conveyed messages that are universal, that any culture can identify or relate with. Think of every epic major movie production ever made, and how they affected audiences in more ways then one.

And his research consists more than just reading Wikipedia articles?

"Almost"?

Bob seriously needs to ignore the dudebros and judge games based on their own merit.

I'm waiting for the day he tackles something outside of his comfort zone like Seven or Taxi Driver.

This is a guy who can't even deal with fp perspectives. What chance does he have with Chinatown or citizen kane?

 

[techno-confederate]

I'd say that's going a bit too far when big movies are bringing in nearly ten times the gross profit of big games. Most of the exceptions to the rule aren't current hit games, but gradual money sinkholes like MMOs and old-timers like Space Invaders.

Still, saying that the Overwatch debacle is too obscure for people to care about while championing the new Ghostbusters movie is the height of hypocrisy.

Well the absolutely biggest movies are bigger than the biggest games (think Star Wars etc) but in general blockbusters are not that huge
