Let's Players originating from Something Awful - ft. VoidBurger, General Ironicus, Bob Kamoc

[Livecorpse]

So, something good to distract from Chip and Void being woke losers; Slowbeef did a The Last of Us stream with Diabetus and some other guy and apparently Betus has gotten married.

I didn't watch the whole thing because frankly Slowbeef has gotten painfully unfunny, but I am glad to hear someone is doing well.

What is the name of the man he has married?

 

[proteus4994]

Diabetes had a long term girlfriend even back like 10 years ago when I used to talk to him and Slowbeef, I guess he finally married her. Good for him.

There was an amazing trilogy of Youtube videos by mr djb called Sonic Inflation Adventure. He deleted the videos because he's a loser or something. Is there archive where these works of art are preserved? The world needs Sonic Inflation Adventure now more than ever.

Chip Cheezum appears to have removed all of the old Retsupurae videos from his personal channel (not the channel he shares with Ironicus).

The Retsupurae subreddit speculates why:

View attachment 1447832

Come on Chip, you and your friends are so pure; surely there's nothing that you've said that could get you unpersoned like the evil Nazis your psychotic girlfriend shrieks about on twitter all day?

This is so genuinely disappointing. I actually got into main RP through Chip's channel years ago. I binged all of his vids in like 2 days and it was some of the funniest shit. I actually just rewatched some of it with a friend like a month ago. I really hope someone somewhere had the sense to archive at least some of them, especially the Jeff Albert and Top 10 Saddest Game Moments ones.

The good news is that some guy managed to save some of the videos.

More about VoidBurger's alt-right past and allegedly she and her friends are much happier now that they're psychotically hateful towards people it's OK to hate and not towards ethnic minorities:

This is great:

90% of my friends are manic lunatics that mindlessly flip-flop to whatever currently socially acceptable political stance allows them to attack other people, but at least they're "happy".
Also, how do you have "4chan friends"? Were VoidBurger and her friends so pathetic that they would coordinate their anonymous imageboard posting with each other off-site lmao. "I'm post number 6225616 in the Kingdom Hearts General on /v/ - I need backup! Reply to the guy that replied to me and called Riku a fag and call him a retard!"

And what's actually dumb is that they're still just as pathetic as they ever were, arguably even more so. Certainly more mentally deranged and hateful.

VoidBurger, cling to Chip like he's a rare Funko Pop because if he ever leaves you you're dying alone.

Geop's further radicalization and support for political violence (nothing interesting here tbh, just an update on his political radicalization):

Spoiler: Geop

Geop blames Trump's son and/or Trump for every death caused by the Chinese Flu:

Typical leftist sperging:

Laughing at the friend of the man recently killed (allegedly by an Antifa member) and justifying murder because people fired paintballs at the mob attacking them:

Retweeting Communist power fantasies courtesy of a Red Army genocide LARPer:

 

[PLB]

I'f 90% of your old friends are now gays troons and furrys I'm pretty sure that says more about you and the people you choose to hang around with than anything else.
Also "4chan friends" VB not knowing to use 4channer or just channer shows how ignorant she is of board culture. I seriously doubt she ever browsed.

 

[Jimjamflimflam]

The thing they don't realize (either by willfully ignoring or just can't comprehend ) is that no one canceled them back in their "4channer days". They didn't have some retard doxxing them, calling up their family and work to make them a social pariah.

They were allowed to make mistakes and then see the errors of their ways. By which I mean they trade in one mob for another mob.

Makes me think of those comedians who got their start by being purposely vulgar and offense who are now established and do messages on love and tolerance. All they have done is become the gatekeepers who use their moral crusading to enforce their power.

Even worse, if a colleague doesn't fall in line ( or even just gets more popular ) they go back in the archives 15 years or so and find one of those old vulgar day recordings, link it on social meida, and voila' : instant cancellation for wrongthink. It's not mere gatekeeping, it's tyranny.

They really are the most back stabbing crabs around. Im so glad I stepped back memory from internet culture. It's just full of jealous dramaqueens now.

Geop supporting terrorist attacks on newspapers:

VoidSperger supports fellow retard, AOC:

General Ironicus cries about Chicago Police Department killing the ethnic minorities he lives apart from in his affluent white neighbourhood:

Ironicus has no issues supporting the Communist Venezuelan regime that has been mass raping, torturing and murdering protesters for years, however.

For anyone that misses Retsupurae content, Slowbeef has been streaming Resident Evil 5 co-op with Diabetus on his twitch, and he's uploaded the VODs to his Youtube channel:

Weird to see Beef and Betus doing something together again.

I hate to see commies erasing history, how much internet content from the 2000's is going to be destroyed in the next decade, all the old LPs and more gone, like tears in rain.

We'll have to watch reruns of Game Grumps on liveleak.

It's not just due to sacrifices on the altar of flavor-of-the-month purity that we've lost some of the classic content; rather, in most cases it's just plain old internet rot. In just the official LP Archive alone, how many old series have had content fade into the mists of memory due to only being posted on blip or viddler or some other dead gay video website?
I know for a damn fact Let's Break Pokemon Blue had all of its video links on viddler before it went belly-up, and those were informative and intriguing by sheer dint of showcasing just how much of a flaming plate of spaghetti that game was. The Freelance Astronaut's entire site is fucking gone outside of the Wayback Machine, and since their shit was all over the place, a good half of their content was on now-defunct video hosts, and a significant chunk of what wasn't is either buried somewhere in a forgotten corner of Dailymotion, or was once on - and has since been nuked off of - Youtube.
Screenshot LPs are somewhat better off, being hosted on the archive itself, but Tindeck is fucking dead, rendering quick access to game soundtracks from screenshot LPs broken, alongside any extra content that was made by the player and/or thread, for better or worse.
Of course, none of this is even touching the fact that the quality of the archive's more recent entries, much like the quality of those creating them, has long since passed its zenith. And this is just on the "official" LP Archive, mind you - not counting things like SS LPs that had been made on places like Livejournal (I read a nice one on the indie game Iji several forevers ago), or ones made for specific fora; succession games for older 4X titles, or exposés about smaller indie games that were a pain in several asses to run on then-modern machines. I've followed links to try and see some of that for myself, only to find posts chock full of broken Photobucket links that probably expired several years ago.

So much of that is merely a casualty of the transient nature of the internet, and it's more depressing than I like to admit.

 

[Tonberry]

So, to anyone who bothered to watch Beef and Beetus' streams, did they ever mention why the "quick hiatus due to Beetus's moving" turned into the unofficial death of RP and led to them not doing anything together for years? Or do they still just avoid that topic and act like whoever thinks they are hiding something is silly and delusional?

The internet never forgets, but much of the history is oral tradition.

Alas.

Bless the internet archive's archive of LPs, that has saved a few from oblivion. And Baldurk or whatever it is called. Film historians think they have it bad trying to track down London after midnight, poor video game playthrough historians might have to just wing it.

I've watched the Resident Evil 5 and A Way Out streams and from what I remember they don't address why Diabetus hasn't wanted to make videos. In some of the RE5 streams I think Slowbeef mentioned that they'd only interacted with each other on a handful of occasions in the months prior, so it seems like Diabetus hasn't been spending much time with Slowbeef outside of their co-op gaming sessions.

Internet archive has Daikatana which is why I never bothered reposting it, and Baldurk has most of my others (last I checked).

It is nice that some of these LPs have been preserved.
