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

[Emperor Julian]

Buzzfeed Aldrin seems like one of those people who just replies on the assumption that if he gets the last post he's won.

 

[DonaldChump]

I dont see "Make America Great Again" on that list of what Trump is going to do next.... Shame, Voidburger. Shame.

That Buzzfeed Aldrin guy seems like a real dick though... It could have been because of that other guy, but if youre sperging out so hard that even Voidburger doesnt want to be in the middle of it, you've gone a bit too far. Dude needs to take a fuckin' zoloft or some shit, chill out.

 

[Ravana]

I wonder if she realizes that you can be impeached and still remain in office

 

[Petronella]

This bullshit of Voidburger being a dick to her fans has been her MO for a while now, and in my opinion the worst part is that she blames her fans for it. She has said that she "needs" to act bitchy because in the past she was nice to some of her fans, only to have them get inappropriate with her because they mistook her friendliness for flirting. That is an annoying situation, but she's since extended it to "I need to be a cunt 24/7 to all my fans or else I'll get raped uwu"

She also seems to underestimate her fans if she thinks being bitchy towards them will drive them away. It just makes them double down on apologizing and interacting with her more to correct their mistakes. I also find it kinda funny she's bitching about moving and how it was the worst mistake ever. Didn't she move to live with Chip, or was that completely unrelated? Cause if that's the case, I can't imagine he'd feel all that great about it.

 

[Gununu]

I have no clue what the [thing] they're referring to is

IIRC this tortoise cunt guy made a video to try a get a job at Polygon last year. Can't find it now though (maybe he deleted it).

 

[BlueSpark]

And as a bonus, twitter fighting:
View attachment 186134

Oh, wow, the cropped screenshot VoidBurger posted is from the GamerGhazi subreddit (for those not aware, it's an anti-Gamergate subreddit full of SJW nutcases):

And, very suspiciously, someone in the comments recommends VoidBurger and chums as SJW-approved let's play alternatives to Pewdiepie:

"Passionate and good at what they do"

IIRC this tortoise cunt guy made a video to try a get a job at Polygon last year. Can't find it now though (maybe he deleted it).

VoidBurger did, too. They were applying for a job making let's play content iirc. Neither got a job out of it. Also, tortois cunt and "Shesellssheshells" are the same person, and he's also plugged in the Ghazi thread (screenshot above).

Yep, she left New York to move in with Chip in the Midwest (I want to say Illinois.) Funny enough, back when she lived in NY all she did was complain about the high cost of living and the prevalence of the "rat race fucker" lifestyle.

 

[BlueChan]

So I did a fair bit of looking into Bob Kamoc/Shesellssheshells/@tortoiseontour and holy hell, there's a fair bit to go through.

Spoiler: Polygon saga, part 1: The rise

So, throughout early 2016, he was indeed applying to Polygon.

He got as far as the second round (as far as I could tell), and used this as his example video:

(I reuploaded it here in case he deletes it.)

Things looked pretty nice, until...

Spoiler: Polygon saga, part 2: The fall

Then he got angry:

Then he got sad:

Then this shit happened:

(This refers to this stream of his, about a "gross" game on Steam.)
Then he felt a bit better:

Spoiler: Polygon saga, part 2.5: Ask.fm

While all that stuff above was happening, his ask.fm was suddenly and deliberately attacked by well-wishers with some input (bold text is them):

Bob, I've been holding off writing to you but after reading ur twitter, I couldn't hold it off any longer. This is going to be long, so bear with me. First off, I have seen you act this way many times before, and it’s understandable that you go through depression/low self-esteem. (1/
"But you always seem to pick yourself up - (until) something bad happens and you return to old self again. YOU ARE TALENTED and you are a great content creator- you don’t need fucking polygon! Why are you beating urself up this much? Losing job opportunity hurts- but everyone goes through it. (2/
You take it out on twitter, the fan base that’s been following you. You start to think everyone is against you- NO THEY ARE NOT! Dude its polygon… best thing to come out that you have another name on ur c.v and slight pay rise to your current job. (3/
(Coach Voice)- You are dumbass if you seriously think you need polygon to make a good living in the current day an age. Fucking twitch streamer makes more than someone with doctorate! Look Robert, canceling the THP… because some idiot 12yr said “I miss VB, Racheal suck”…is… are you kidding me? (4/
You (including VB) have a very small fanbase, which is growing but if you don’t have the thick skin to handle a stupid little comment… Don’t bother. Fact that Racheal is awesome (far better than VB personal opinion) and you dragged her down with ur sinking ship by cancelling THP. Disappointing. (5/8
Robert, you have to start handling some of these situation in better way. Every time you fall, don’t beat yourself up. You are a grown as adult. THIS IS NORMAL LIFE! You fall, pick yourself up, learn and try another step. Please don’t blaming your depression/low self-esteem for everything, (6/
in the grand scheme of things no one cares as much as you do. When you said, you were going to change some stuff about your current life- I was very happy. Then you went on super weird rampage twitter msgs. And I’m sitting here like “wtf is wrong with this guy” (7/
I hope you understand where I’m coming from. I don’t meant to be rude or mean, I meant well by this essay. I’ve been following you for a long time. Infact you’re videos gotten me through some tough nights. So please know this is friend to friend talk and not me been an asshole. (8/"
first, thanks for being honest. stuff like this is always awkward. also: thanks for the encouragement, which seems to have been your main intention.
i wasn't taking out my frustrations on my followers - i was venting. people could read it if they wanted or not if they didn't. a lot of what i do involves taking what's in my head and putting it out there for people to see. sometimes what's in my head is frustration and sadness. if anyone felt like i was lashing out at them then i'm sorry.
that horror game podcast isn't cancelled, it's just on hiatus. i'm glad you and others seem to like it. let's just quit comparing people to other people, ok?
as for the "super weird rampage" on twitter - i was being honest and expressing my sadness. is it "super weird" because i'm a dude and dudes shouldn't be emotional? or is it because i'm opening up and that makes you uncomfortable? either way, i'd like it if more people were honest and said what they felt. better than bottling it.

More interesting was a lengthy saga he had with the second well-wisher, where he appears to not have answered some of his posts?

Hey Bob, thanks for the reply. Again I meant well from the last message. Reason I used “Robert” was I wanted to come across from a person perceptive, rather than calling you “Bob Content Creator”. It was “pep” talk, to encourage you, shake you off this depression phrase. (1)
i understand your intentions were good but they got muddied by the way you communicated. i go by bob/bobby. anyone who calls me "robert" i immediately consider to be cold because they don't know me well enough to know my preferred name. i'm not going to respond to a pep talk from someone who doesn't care enough to call me by my name.

Fact that people think I was condescending you… I don’t even want to bother. Yes it did make me uncomfortable when you were ranting on and on about “im stopping this” etc. I won’t have wrote to you if I only saw you “another content creator” and none of your friends seems to give you rather (2)
"meaningful message. They all just seems to give you pat on the back and passive heartfelt message. Now I’m heavily regretting writing that message because everyone seems to thinks I want you to be this “unemotional content producer” – which wasn’t my intention. (3)"
you told me i was a grown adult, insinuating being open about my emotions is childish. also, an emotional message wasn't what i was looking for - i was merely venting my frustrations and sadness. you vent to purge yourself of these strong emotions. sorry it made you uncomfortable.

You wrote: i was venting. People could read it if they wanted or not if they didn't. a lot of what i do involves taking what's in my head and putting it out there for people to see. Sometimes what's in my head is frustration and sadness.” Exactly! I was venting at your venting (4)
is this an overlong dead space joke

“let's just quit comparing people to other people, ok?” – are you kidding me… We’re humans, that’s what we do, it’s in our nature to always compare. Also you are contradicting yourself when you guys always compare people in your videos. (6)
i'm specifically asking you to not compare rachel to voidburger and vice versa is that really so god damn difficult

Anyway dude, I think I'm wasting my time and yours. I was looking forward to your future video, but now it'b weird for me to watch, knowing you think I'm "asshole", so probably for the best I unsubscribe. (9)
you're not an asshole, you're just acting like one. but yeah ok

TL DR, I really meant well with that message, it wasn’t trying to belittle you or anything, and it was encouragement message which clearly didn’t come across well. (10)
yeah, it's unfortunate. see you around

And to cap that saga off, he eventually reached a truly exceptional conclusion:

But it doesn't stop there, oh no:

Spoiler: Yes, he defended Alison Rapp

Not long after this, Alison Rapp got fired. It needn't be said that Bob, a proud SJW, was offended:

I think I'm running up against the image limit so here's some archives and summaries:

• A guy tells it like it is; Bob eventually links to a Kotaku article to shut him out
• Another guys explains exactly what happened (with screencaps); Bob sees nothing wrong with them, against all reason
• "
  
• Bob is proud of blocking people, the hallmark of a lolcow-ish SJW
  
• Check the replies for dissenters #3 and #4
  
• Bob's second reply to #4 above
• Funy joke

I have to emphasize that Bob Kamoc saw this:

& his first response was

Unbelievable.

Jesus H. What's the deal with the casual defense of pedophilia and these people. Maybe the LP Zone can add the help hotline of NAMBLA to their Mental Thread.

 

[BlueChan]

Maybe the LP Zone can add the help hotline of NAMBLA to their Mental Thread.

Funny that:

Also, there's an entire thread dedicated to reminding people to take their medication.

I'm not necessarily opposed to the idea, but honestly it seems sad that they have to be reminded in the first place.

 

[RJ MacReady]

The one and only good thing I'll say about Kamoc is that he created a "CYOA" LP of Silent Hill: Homecoming that was pretty damn funny and well put-together. You clicked on annotations to make "choices", essentially making it multiple playthroughs in one. Ironically (and despite being one of the worst games in the series) it's far more interesting than any LP of any Silent Hill game VB has ever done.

 

[AnOminous]

So I did a fair bit of looking into Bob Kamoc/Shesellssheshells/@tortoiseontour and holy hell, there's a fair bit to go through.

That's autistic as fuck. Now any future potential employer who looks him up will know that if they don't hire him, he'll publicly throw a mentally unbalanced tantrum. So imagine what he'd do if you took a chance on this loon and then had to fire him!

I'm sure that will put him at the top of the to-hire list.

And to cap that saga off, he eventually reached a truly exceptional conclusion:

If I were the Polygon interviewer, at the point I saw this, I'd let out a deep breath in relief at having dodged a bullet. "Whew! Suppose I'd hired this mongoloid!" But being Polygon it would be "pissbaby" or some other weaksauce insult.

If you're so unstable you actually forget to take your meds, you need more than a few internet backpats

 

[Intelligent Calcium]

Unbelievable.

And now he's a moderator on Voidburger's personal LP forum. Bitter failures will flock to small amounts of power like moths to a flame.

[TiggerNits]

Goons, Antifa and other socialist rejects hating Uber/Lyft is the greatest thing. here's a company making it possible for some college kids, under employed people, and young/single parents to make some quick, legal and reliable cash on their own time and they're screaming about it fucking over a few Somali/Paki/etc immigrants driving shitty Crown Vics that smell like curry and BO at 10 times the price of some one in their personal car that's clean, gets better mileage and far more comfortable.

Uber owns hard, when we went to Disney last year the wife and I got a hotel 8 miles away and just Uber'd there and back for 2 days and it cost us like $35 with tips, compared to her brother who paid $70 for parking and waited in the traffic jam that is Disney parking to get in and out for atleast an hour a day. Hell, when we went to leave our driver was waiting for us across from the exit and it took us less than a minute to get clear of the place. When we went to San Diego a few months back I just kept my car parked at the rental beach house and we just took Ubers everywhere that wasn't the beach or accessible by the trolley and all our drivers were super friendly and loved driving for Uber. I'm sure we paid more in tips than the actual fees.

God, these little babies with their fantasy of getting a "job" doing lets plays. This is what you get when daddy keeps paying the bills even as you hit 30 years old. Why not just ask someone to pay you a living wage so you can stay home and masturbate while watching daytime soap operas all day.

Also, she's been struggling with Japanese lessons on Rosetta Stone, which also demonstrates the "getting pissy at people trying to help" issue:

Since she thinks no-effort answers are the only ones she deserves to have, I bet she believes just studying Rosetta Stone a few hours a week total will make her a fluent speaker. I'm pretty sure English to Japanese is one of those cases where it's a fucking difficult language and you should take classes with live people and/or get a tutor if you actually want fluency.

you would think everyone who says "i want to do lets play as a job" would look at what happened to DSP and see that its a poor way to make money

People like Voidburger have not grown out of that natural inclination we all have as small children where we think we are special and perfect just because. She doesn't understand that the rules that limit all the mere mortals also apply to her.
