Careercow Robert Chipman / Bob / Moviebob / "Movieblob" - Middle-Aged Consoomer, CWC with a Thesaurus, Ardent Male Feminist and Superior Futurist, the Twice-Fired, the Mario-Worshipper, publicly dismantled by Hot Dog Girl, now a diabetic

[Assorted Nuts]

I think Bob Chipman has become a victim of the Mandela Effect. Like, five or seven years ago he wasn't a lolcow of this capacity.

And now look at him.

Bob has always been a retard. He's just considerably worse at hiding it.

This is the man who back when the Obama administration was just starting said he thought video games did 9/11.

You know I'm surprised Blob hasn't been saying anything the new Mario game..

 

[Cyber Bowling]

You know I'm surprised Blob hasn't been saying anything the new Mario game..

I was surprised by that too, given how he talked about his initial reactions when Nintendo "retconned" Mario and Luigi not being from New York. I thought it would either give him PTSD to his days serving in the console wars, or make him super optimistic about them announcing that Mario and Luigi have been from NY this whole time, and all these years have just been a test to see who was loyal enough to never lose faith in that.

What does that have to do with the "Mandela Effect"? If anything his deterioration is the result of the "Zoe Quinn Effect".

whine whine whine bitch bitch bitch be glad we're getting a remake of a game we never got over here in any form blob, also dat grammar..

What I love about that is Bob's implication that Fire Emblem isn't immensely popular in the West right now and Nintendo's market research wouldn't bear that conclusion out. It's one of their most successful and well received franchises at the moment. If Nintendo wasn't paying attention to the market, they would have cancelled the series after Awakening.

Honestly, what Nintendo franchises does Bob think are getting left out in the cold right now besides Metroid (I'll be shocked if we don't see a new one announced by E3), F-Zero (which I imagine Nintendo considers their lesser racing series at this point) and Golden Sun (Camelot hasn't made or announced anything since 2015 so this one wouldn't surprise me either considering how aggressively Nintendo seems to be courting JRPGs on the Switch.) I know a lot of people are gonna say Mother but as badly as I want more, that series is over unless Itoi changes his mind and I think it's pretty obvious to anyone whose head isn't in the clouds that a localization of a quirky turn based RPG on the GBA is so niche it might not even matter to them. Everyone always begs for Nintendo to just use the fan translation but they'd NEVER do that and so long as Clyde Mandelin hasn't gotten a Cease and Desist letter in the mail to take the patch down, I'm pretty comfortable assuming Nintendo recognizes that the market isn't there and they're allowing that to exist as a goodwill gesture to the fans. What's really left after that for Bob to be referring to? A lot of classic Nintendo series wouldn't have any name recognition on the market at this point. I mean, I'm holding a torch for Mole Mania 2 as much as the next guy but I know Fire Emblem takes priority.

Of course, this is the guy who not but a few days ago suggested that WWE Films should be dominating the midtier action genre (something they pretty much tried and failed to do) as opposed to licensing out the stars to be in shit movies that will make money just on the name recognition of the star and the fact that the stuff they're making is cheap as hell or that the best way to reboot every classic 80s action franchise is to make it about progressives getting to spray hillbilly brains across the wall, because that kind of ego couldn't win an election so I'm sure it'll sell tickets!

What I'm getting at is that there's a reason Bob is in a basement and not a boardroom.

 

[Gordon Cole]

Jesus Christ, Bob's solidifying his status as an über-manchild. What grown man already owns He-Man on DVD, but still looks forward to Netflix having it for some reason?

And yes, like Platoon showing the horrors of Vietnam, He-Man shows...the painfully awful state of Saturday morning cartoons in the 80s. FFS Bob.

And who still says "kaboodle"?

Well, he already backtracked minutes after the fact:

 

[Replicant Sasquatch]

He-Man was fucking awesome.

But if your children need to watch it to get some understanding of your development then honestly it's astonishing you managed to ever get laid at all let alone procreate.

 

[muina]

 

[Gordon Cole]

Well, you're genuinely exceptional Bob, but not in the way you'd think.

 

[Absolutego]

He-Man was fucking awesome.

Thank God that thinking He-Man was your generation's version of Platoon is one of many reasons Bob will probably never procreate.

 

[cypocryphy]

Funny how he even mentions "understanding dad" because doesn't he not like his Dad?

 

[Lensherr]

Does he seriously believe increasing the size of the welfare state so that the people he talks about could be as lazy and unproductive as possible? Wouldn't it be much more beneficial to get them working again so they can contribute to society somehow instead of throwing away more government dollars than we can afford? From what I can tell, he wants them to be slaves of the government, and I don't think they could afford to shell out dollars to keep them alive AND invest in the technology that will lead to his "superior future". Seriously, someone send this guy some Milton Friedman or Thomas Sowell. We have his address after all.

 

[CognitiveWakaba]

I bought Bob's book about Mario 3 and threw it in the garbage shortly after. I want my $9 back.

 

[KotAGoR VIII]

Bob thinks he lives in Lake Wobegon. Bob should definitely get the reference, since he listens to public radio secretly. I bet he even contributes and has some of his contributor swag on display. It's just hidden behind all of that '80s pop culture shit.

Lol you actually bought it

 

[Chan the Wizard]

I'm endlessly amazed that Bob thinks he's one of the elite.
He's so fucking deluded about his own contributions and intellect.

"anti-intellectual submentals"

When I Google submental, all I turn up is a region of the neck. Is this a Freudian slip on his part? As in he wishes his neck fat didn't jiggle every time he talked?

Maybe after getting called out for two years for calling people subhuman he decided to branch out.

It's the autistic form of calling people retarded.
