@CringeNigger , yes, MtPain27 is definitelly a woketard, but i don't believe he'll let anyone on Troonworld to dictate what he's going to review, i believe he reviews the stuff he finds interesting... or the wads he believes will bring him the most views. I've tried to give the Dean of Doom series a chance more than once over the last 2 years, but i also find MtPain27 to be extremely boring. If you've seen one Dean of Doom, you've seen all of them, in my opinion. What he's doing is not reviewing megawads, no. He comes up with little stories about each map and then reads them from a script with his monotone faggot voice. Nothing he says ever sound like he means it, there is no conviction in the way he speaks, and that's because he reads while recording. Then he goes something like this - "Map 12 - Retardastan, by AutisticDoomer19 - We start Retardastan in a moody canyon, greeted by a welcoming party of 5 revenants, but if you look just around the corner, AutisticDoomer19 has generously prepared a rocket launcher for you. After we grab it, our bony friends are no longer a threat... bla, bla, bla... - Grade B, Difficulty Z".
He glosses over each map in 30 to 40 seconds, tells you nothing substantial, but he makes sure to spoil the most important bits of the map, so that you have no reason to play it, and then gives a meaningles grade that is as useless as his videos. This is not reviewing. Not to mention that he's on the business of overselling the popular Kool Kids wads to the moon. Valiant and Ancient Aliens are not the best in his book, because this is what he likes, they are the best because Troonworld says so. And trust me, no old school Doom player will ever give his retarded grades a second thought, when he gave an A score on some of the most unplayable abominations in TNT Evilution, like Central Processing for example, and then proceeds to give mid scores to better maps from other megawads. But even if he tries to set a good standard for grading, his grades still don't tell you anything. A general score for a map is too... general. He should use a rating system from 1 to 10 and then individually rate each aspect of each map like this:
- Layout design
- Architecture/visuals
- Atmosphere/tone (for overall feel in combination with the music and visuals)
- Combat design
- And finally a summary of the above, to form an average score for the map, and then all averages should be calculated to form an average score for the megawad.
Of course he's not going to do that, after all, that will require him to actually think and review for once, and we know he's not capable of doing it. His current grading system is flawed and he has no integrity, so his videos are useless. But i understand if you find entertainment value in them.
By the way, speaking of Doomtubers, i also don't like the other big fish, Decino. For some reason i have zero tolerance for monotone sounding faggots, who speak like they've just coated their throats with seed, a minute before recording their videos. Not to mentions that it's prerecorded gameplay, so you know he's uploading his best runs to make himself look a better player than he actually is. I've tried to watch him exactly one time and he put me to sleep... i wasn't tired.
On a positive note, and that even suprises me sometimes, one of my favorite Doom youtube content creators, is actually Troonkid. I hate his guts when it comes to everything he does and he is outside of his videos, because on youtube, he's like a different person and comes across as very level headed and likeable. His mapping tutorials are quick and helpful, his mapping videos are interesting and can get you started as a vanilla mapper. And he also has some nice discussion videos, for example, when he destroyed Gmanlives pathetic review of the Unity release, he made him his bitch. I also like his style of mapping and taste for classic wads. He's by no chance a great mapper, but i'll take his stuff any day over Skillsaw's overrated garbage. Unfortunatelly he's pretty lazy when it comes to content creation, if he could make consistent videos instead of getting involved in petty drama and bias behaviour on Troonworld, he'd be almost redeamable... almost. But that's pretty much where my positivity towards him ends. As a moderator he's one of the worst, promotes his budies, and gives them ban immunity and fake views to their map threads. He's a woketard of course, and he's been extremely toxic on other platforms outside of Doomworld, like Discord and Doomer Boards.
