Not to mention that the scandals that Sony themselves had, i.e. putting rootkit DRM in music CDs, didn't tank the company either.
The Last of Us Franchise - Because it's apparently a franchise now. This thread has been double-DMCA’d by Sony Interactive Entertainment.

Call me optimistic, but we might even get a Crowbcat video too!

This happens when your producer of a successful IP is more interested in other things compared to making video games and you don't have them in a leash.
Just look at Gran Turismo. GT Sport is a really disappointing shit because Kazunori is more interested in competing in Nurburgring than making Gran Turismo.

This is a thing super self centered VAs do alot
You have no idea how many annoying whiny VAs refer to themselves as the character 24/7 and even dress up and LARP as them in arguments
It seems like ever since people started treating VAs as actual actors, you start to now see middle aged overweight women that do dubs pretending to be 12 year old anime girls
It's actually hilarious of you think about it. Imagine if VAs of Micky or Scooby went around going "dont you know who I am?!?! I am Fred Flintstone"

I'd pay to see John Goodman do exactly that, though.

Update to one of the people who is planning on suing Sony.
He goes how/why Sony would spam out the DMCAs to everyone along with Sony still going after the video despite copyright striking it twice and then removing both.

One of the best examples of that I ever saw was ironically from Sony themselves and that was the manual for Resistance 2, which was done up in the style of an in universe "Popular Mechanics" style magazine explaining the game's technology and world, in addition to that it included pin up girl photographs of live action models and war time propaganda posters.
Fuck, was that a cool manual.

Didn't the Shaggy VA have a meltdown in that vein because he saw the character as himself?
Also Chris Evans LARPing as Steve Rogers on Twitter.

Wasn't that more of because he was passed over that role of Shaggy for someone else though?

To be fair, all you need to do to be Shaggy IRL is to be a loser stoner with a dog, and jump every time you hear a loud noise. Not sure I'd want to be associated with that, but hey, it takes all types, right?

Yes, the original Jak and Daxter was Naughty Dog's peak and they never quite reached that same high again, although some of the Uncharteds came close.

So the other day I saw Blue Ruin, and it got me thinking about how The Last of Us 2 completely fucked itself over with its whole cycle of violence shit. Blue Ruin has sort of the same basic ideas, even some of the same twists, but it manages to actually be good.
Blue Ruin gets away with its cycle of violence themes because, by the end, the revenge story ends up becoming emotionally hollow and meaningless. In the end, it's just a bunch of people murdering each other over something pointless, but rather than use this as a way to piss off the audience, Blue Ruin opens itself up emotionally. It's downright tragic that events unfolded the way they did, and the movie implies that everything could have easily been avoided. This even affects the protagonist, and as the movie reaches its climax, you get the sense that he realizes that everything has been for nothing but it's far too late to fix it, and he feels compelled to end it. That is a real cycle of violence and how people will endlessly perpetuate it. Where Last of Us 2 fails at this is that it's trying to get the audience to sympathize with a character who outright murders a protagonist from the previous game over a twist that's only introduced to set up conflicts that have nothing to do with the previous game. There's no real way to set up that same moral ambiguity that Blue Ruin sets up, at least not in any smart way (especially since the game has to frame Joel as a psychotic bastard to justify Abby's motivations). Even Blue Ruin gets this right when it's revealed that the guy the protagonist kills wasn't even his parents' murderer and that the real murderer died of cancer years before, showing that the protagonist's quest for revenge was ultimately meaningless and destructive. The twist doesn't come out of nowhere; it's foreshadowed repeatedly throughout the movie, and because revenge is the movie's central theme, it's able to tie that twist into the core of the movie without shitting all over continuity.
It also helps that Blue Ruin was directed and written by someone with actual talent.

What's the story about the Shaggy VA?
Also, regarding Chris Evans larping as Steve - you don't need to tell me that shit.
Yeah Chris, exposing your child to human traffiikers, coyatos and rapists while running across the border ILLEGALLY is a MUCH better and safter option for your children than, you know, doing the work to do it THE LEGAL FUCKING WAY.
I've been thinking of putting FUCK CHRIS EVANS as my custom title next to my Cap avatar, but it's just not creative enough so I'm open to suggestions.
