Stopped following movieblob at least a year ago, so I'm totally out of the loop.
Have either of his feet fallen off yet?

Even in his youth Bob looked far older than he actually was.

Maybe he's aging in reverse, given how much of a man child he is.

Is it me or is thechippa trying to look like a thot in his twitter pic because he doesn’t look even remotely like that in real life.

I don’t know much about Chris, considering that he isn’t like Bob.

What movie is he talking about? With how good the Chipman brothers did with Game Overthinker I shudder to think what their early work was like. Or maybe it's not bad for a zero budget movie.
The NES was fairly popular in the UK. I still see them being sold second hand occasionally. It just wasn't the monolith it seems to be in America and I generally remember the SNES being way more popular. Though I don't know how typical my childhood was.
Though I agree 100% with what you said about the retro gaming community being too focused on Nintendo and the NES in particular.
It's understandable. The difference between something being nostalgic and something being old is how much of a connection you have to it. Where I think Bob and co. go wrong is the assumption that those old machines have no value. If you asked him directly Bob would say preserving them is important, but if you asked him about Jill of the Jungle or Pyjamarama chances are he wouldn't know what you're talking about. Even if he knew of those games he'd dismiss them as being third rate knock offs. It becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. No one talks about those games because they are "unimportant" and don't bring in the views, and because no one is talking about them that reinforces the narrative that these games were unimportant curios no one played.
Moviebob and random commenters talk about how they want gaming to return to the 8bit glory days but either hand wave or ignore the glut of retro inspired platformers like Shovel Knight and Freedom Planet that can be found on Steam. Instead choosing to live in a bizarre self-made hell where the only games are Call of Duty and Madden and gamers spend all day sending death threats to women on the internet.

Apparently the Chipman brothers made a couple of short films back in the day to be entered in some film festival.
Chris also just today uploaded a few behind the scenes videos from their work on one of these films.

If Bob really believes that all Trump supporters are incapable of free thought, he should tweet some of his vitriol at the parents of children who have been killed by illegal aliens.
There's dozens of fellow Youtubers who would gladly give Bob a platform to butt heads, with a knowledgeable conservative, but he'll never take the opportunity to do it, because he'd just come across as one of those people in those "random person on the street" videos who can't even name the Vice President.
Of course he doesn't have the guts, and never will.
For all Bob's smug blustering, he's nothing but a pathetic coward, really.

Odyssey had micro transactions, not loot boxes. And almost all of the games you listed removed the loot boxes.
They’re also games thatvlooked trash from their very announcement, which makes me wonder why anyone bought them, but that’s beyond the point. That’s a small sample sized and practically none of them were made irreplaceably worse as a result of them. Battlefront was the only one designed specifically for the loot boxes, which is why it ruined it so much

What kind of "important doctor's appointment" is it even possible to miss by ten minutes? I've never met a doctor who was such a stickler for schedules that they'd refuse to see a patient who was running late because of traffic. Shit, that might even be considered patient abandonment.

He could of also done the responsible thing of calling his doctor while he was sitting in traffic and informing him that he was going to be a little late to the appointment due to traffic.

If anything, it shows Bob is an Inferior Patient Who Doesn't Matter. You can't fight the march towards Superiority and Bob should stay in his hole. A true Elite Who Matters would not be held back by the uncultured masses and make it early to his goal. Tick tock tick tock.

I watched both of the short films.
The zombie one was actually pretty decent for what it was. I like the idea of making the zombies the good guys and the survivors the villains, it's a concept that is rarely explored (I can only think of I Am Legend and Warm Bodies off the top of my head). The pacing is bad, the editing is awful and a lot of the performances are terrible, but if you view it as a group of friends with no money or talent making a short film for fun it isn't half bad.
The other one was hilarious. I won't ruin the surprise, but by the end I was laughing out loud. It tries to be scary but it's so incompetent that it just comes off as silly. A terrific so-bad-it's-good movie. Tommy Wiseau and Neil Breen would be proud.

Agreed. The first one is not bad. It's not exactly Bently Bros Resident Evil 4, but then little is. I've seen worse. The second film is complete shit though. At least Neil Breen films are entertaining in their awfulness.
2 things stood out to me in the credits. The zombie film thanks a guy for letting them film in his house for 3 weeks. I don't know how it took that long to film given how basic it is. I could see it taking 3 days, a week at most, but 3 weeks seems a long time. The other is that in both films Bob is listed as "executive producer". What does that even mean when the film is half a dozen friends fucking around with a camera?

Maybe he was hoping his doc was following his twitter feed.
