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

[DuckSucker]

I looked up his posting history. First post was in a breakup thread, then it all boils down to him inserting himself into various topics and people tell him he's annoying so he eventually fucks off. Now he just spams himself in the LP streaming thread, which is a parade of failures in and of itself. He's also the type of person who signs up on SA and still posts like this after a year:

He is an incredibly boring, yet obnoxious person who couldn't find acceptance anywhere so now he rules the Retsupurae comment section (?) with an iron fist.

Didnt these types of motherfuckers used to get avatars of dick picks bought for them, and redtext titles calling them a faggot? Like that shit used to not fly, it's ridiculous that the dude is trying to both be smug, but also use baby talk. Also is Voidburger really tall or is ChipCheezum really short? Looking at that photo I would assume she was over 6 feet and he's like 5' 5".

You're actually super, super close! via Voidburgers old Ask.fm:

Spoiler: Manlet confirmed
(I hate being mean to chip: I do actually like his older stuff...)

Sorry for double posting, but it's worth it:

The only good group of SA LPers were the Steampunk Abortionists. RIP Simpsons: Hit & Run.

Men drinking coffee is also pretty great. They started off on SA, but never seemed like they were married to it or anything.

Psychedelic Eyeball is a French Canadian LPer with a weird accent. He guested in a few Retsupurae videos and manages to be unfunny in all of them.

I can't believe that you mentioned Psychedelic Eyeball without mentioning his French-Canadian Partner-in-crime, Ragny. Somewhat notable for playing difficult games very well, and decided a couple of years back to play the most difficult game of all: going full Troon.

Though most of what Ragny does these days is "lets tweeting" or "live tweeting" games. Which is just posting shit every minute with a game screenshot. It's a real chore to dig through, and its just selfies otherwise. I could swear he had a different twitter at some point, either before or during the Paul-to-Pauline transition. I mostly say that because I recall an awful lot of tweets about "butt stuff"

Had to look it up in another thread, but here's a reminder that VoidBurger once said that men not liking the idea of having their dicks cut off is sexist.

(archive)

By their own standards, this is seriously an incredibly transphobic thing to say. I don't have to reach or bait to claim that. She's saying "woman = no dick, period". Ironicus should be leaping down her throat over this.

 

[SteelPlatedHeart]

The only SA LPs I ever saw was Red Chocobo's Pokémon LPs(pretty sure he changed his name at some point). They were always a pretty entertaining read, and he even got an actual reference to one of his characters in Diamond and Pearl as a trainer you battled.

You're actually super, super close! via Voidburgers old Ask.fm:

I'm 5'9 (and 1/2) and my sister is 5' 11 (and 1/2, I never understood why people counted half inches, if you're gonna be that precise, use centimeters), so I know the game, I guess.


Oh RedChocobo, I was kind of drifting away from the LP stuff by then, but I remember there being some minor drama with him. Like, Slowbeef banned pokemon LPs (either he just didnt like the games or they just always caused drama because goons love to argue over which pokemon is the very best, I guess) but RedChocobo was allowed to make them, but he was either a furry, or a transperson, or something? I remember the threads always were obsessed with the female protagonist and were full of his drawings of her, and fan art of her. I always thought it was kind of weird.

My favorite LP "group" was the Tipping40s. They would get drunk and play video games and I found most of their videos actually pretty funny. Kuvo still makes videos I think but they're only really good when it's him and Topikal because otherwise his videos with other goons turn into a SA forum "ironic" meme-fest. I also remember the "Steampunk Abortionists" mentioned earlier, and they were great only because DoctorRoosevelt was like somebody's cool dad. And RockTumblr got high and crashed his car into an overpass or something because he thought he was in The Fast and The Furious or something. Their videos are gone, too, so I cant go back and look but I think he mentioned it during the Simpsons game.

 

[Jewelsmakerguy]

All these LP goons have one thing in common: They really don't like that Trump guy.

Everone hates Trump if you're willing to let a bunch of SJWs and celebs let you own. Even though there's clearly a reason why people voted for him in the first place. ('Sides, where were these accusations when the Apprentice was airing?)

It's that Goons tend to have one of the higher forms of sperging as they're among the most well known communities out there.

 

[OwO What's This?]

I feel sorry for Voidburger in a lot of ways. Really think she fell in with the wrong crowd.



Edit: I no longer feel sorry for Voidburger.

Groups like this fall prey to a universal self-indulgence: the belief that if my side tells everyone we are the "main" side and everyone else is fringe, it'll magically somehow come true.

Didn't come true at the ballots.

 

[fcgh vgcf]

i thought it was common knowledge that most people that produced content for SA back in 2006-2009 have gradually turned into hyper-liberals after the mods of SA began imposing their weird marxist system in place of granting people funny content for ten bucks per ban

 

[Alec Benson Leary]

Playing video games semi-professionally on a stream from your parents basement to an audience also in their parents basement because you all have so much free time you can even create that concept is one of the most privileged things i can think of.

Nothing wrong with it. i love watching let's plays, I'd even try making one if i had the time. but shut the fuck up about your precious freedoms. Goofing off in internet culture all day is something people with real problems don't understand about you.

 

[Intelligent Calcium]

Nah, she was always annoying. When she started on the LP forum she kept posting links to streams where she would show whole movies for her and her beta orbiters to riff on and kept doing it eventhough it was blatantly against the rules to the point where even Blister and Proteus4994 went off on her.

 

[wagglyplacebo]

Chips pretty dope for the most part and still makes pretty good lets plays but voidburger is a bigger lolcow than I thought she would be. Shits funny.
Here's her Patreon where she asks to get paid to play videogames.

The most important part to me is here:

Please pay me to play video games or I'll be depressed and cry in bed.

 

[Ravana]

I think Voidburger has legit mental problems but it doesn't excuse it when she begs for money and asspats

 

[Grog]

Procrastinating in the very important job of playing video games would make anyone anxious.

Pokemon LPs were banned because people started roleplaying in the threads pretending to be people in the game. You could see how this would immediately become creepy so they got banned.
Also Rock Tumbler got arrested attending an Occupy Wallstreet protest lmao

and yeah RIP T40s

Anyone knows how Proteus is doing nowadays? He, along with Chip and Dave_o, were my favourite Retsupurae guests and it would be a shame if he turned out to be similar to Ironicus and co.
(Though I do remember a comment section to one of the Retsupurae vids he was a guest on talking about if he was too triggering or whatever, so I hope he's still the same.)

He has a daughter now, so my guess is that he's too busy being an adult to deally play with the Retsupurae guys anymore.

 

[Assorted Nuts]

If we're going after SA people now keep an eye on Thornbrain. Guy makes really great content when it comes to LPs, but he has some SJW tendencies that come up on his tumblr. While I don't believe he's ever had a full on chimp out, haven't looked at his stuff in a while, he's still someone worth having in mind.

 

[FangsForMyEyeTeeth]

I used to enjoy Chip and Ironicus' retuspuraes back in the day, it makes me sad to see that they've drunken the SJW Kool Aid

So much this.
I was such a big fan of their retsupuraes (Xin, anyone?) and used to think the two of them funny as hell.
Then I noticed Ironicus started getting more and more social-justicy on Twitter, and that was really disappointing for me to see.
From what I hear, apparently it was when he and Chip started hanging out with Voidburger that he went full SJW?

I still follow Chip on Twitter, and I still think he can be pretty funny, but it's only a matter of time before his whole Twitter feed is full SJW like Ironicus.
