It's been heavily implied, if not outright stated that he stopped gaming sometime around the release of GameCube, possibly as far back as the N64. When he came back it was around the launch of the Wii, and despite owning a Xbox 360 he never got into Call of Duty, Gears of War, Halo, or any other "dudebro" games. To Bob, anything that isn't a pastel coloured kid friendly mascot platformer is "dudebro". This would be acceptable but he still wanted to have opinions on contemporary games and be the smartest person in the room.

This resulted in some of his worst takes, like when he felt qualified to opine on Mass Effect 3s ending despite having never played any of the games, saying Call of Duty was about getting revenge for 9-11, and defended Metroid Other M despite being universally despised.

The weird thing is is that there was a time where Bob liked "dudebro" type games. As we saw with the old website he created back in the 90's, he admitted to liking Quake and had to have played some other FPS games from that time period.

I don't really understand where this hatred of FPS and similar type games emerged from. I have a theory that it maybe was specifically when these games started leaving the PC and emerging as big hits on console that Bob started to hate them.

I don't really know how else to explain why he hates these games with such vitriol when he at one point liked them.
Bob, seriously, Super Mario 64 was not a decade old yet. What kind of brainless kid would look at Mario and think he was invented for Smash in 2005 or whatever?

The even dumber thing about this is that the big Nintendo characters had plenty of stand alone titles on the Gamecube. Mario had Super Mario Sunshine, Metroid had the new Prime franchise. Zelda had The Wind Waker as well as a good rerelease of Ocarina of Time.

Bob is making it sound like Super Smash Bros. Melee was the only game released on the Gamecube to feature Nintendo owned properties in it.

I think it changed right around quake 3 when single player modes became little more than glorified tutorials and Bob had to interact with other people to keep current with the games. The more directly it became possible to get in direct contact with people who might think slightly differently than Bobby (voice chat, discord), the worse the games became
 
You're forgetting, Blob doesn't make "decent money". It's been a while since I last looked at his finances, but I seriously doubt he makes nearly enough to pay rent in any major city, even in a flooded basement. Not to mention his terrible spending habits.
Maybe he should try living out in the country where property values are lower. With that internet job of his it shouldn't matter where he lives as long as his internet is decent...
 
I think he'd cause some sort of smugness related black hole, screeching about the obsolete while actually being surrounded by them and thinking they're none the wiser
I think that if he went to Mexico and tried to lecture people on how blue collar jobs are obsolete and appear smug most people would beat his ass or treat him like the town's loony. Most definetly the second because they would think this mayo ghoul is a deranged escapee from the law.
 
I know that Robert has proudly shared pictures of his not at all white trash, but rather ironic and culturally relevant cooking before... but has he shared any evidence of his family's reactions at being presented with Mountain Dew Chicken, etc?

He claims they're a big hit, and considering both his niece's youth and his brother's girth, I imagine he's probably telling the truth.

I cannot help but suspect Bob's obvious autism and superiority fantasies are interpreting a very patronizing "that's great, thanks Bobby" with an unspoken "well, we're sure as shit not throwing out a whole fucking chicken" as "big hit"
 
Also people who hold on to the Nintendo TV Shows like Captain N or Zelda are generally kind of weird. They've pretty much been dismissed from nintendo's canon and not only that the legal rights are a mess on who exactly owns what because a ton of people and corporate entities who are not nintendo own large parts of Captain N, Zelda, and Super Mario bros. Super Show. You can't even get a proper broadcast DVD/Blu-Ray release due to the shows using short term music contracts because they used Popular Music from actual groups and singers from the 80's.

Nintendo is pretty much set on giving people the sterile souless modern mario and this was pretty much solidified after they killed Paper Mario after thousand year door and released umpteenth new Super Mario bros.

The old Nintendo that bob grew up with died after the n64. They've been gone for a very long time. Much like how Star Wars of old is dead and Disney then fucked it's corpse, or how Blizzard and Bioware fell from grace.

Nintendo Nostalgia in America is a very unique thing and it was not the same thing in Japan or even Europe(since the NES never took hold in Europe). Nintendo operates from a very Japanese Corporate direction and the west is barely even considered as a viable form of consumer input.

Huh. You just jostled loose a chunk of old memory.

Over a decade back, there was a MUSH called 'Videoland' which was loosely based off Captain N, with a slightly more serious take and more Game Master characters (each one based off a console).

Now I wonder if Bob ever played there. It closed in 2008, but I can't help but be curious.
 
I can already see Bob burning his remaining money just to go there. The question is: will he feel guilty for not throwing his shekels at Disney?
Unless Disney buys Nintendo, Bob will be forced to rush to Universal and lurk around the rides, unleashing his inner autism in the real world and creeping out the parents and little kids.

It's so weird the way his autism presents through Mario instead of Sonic. The DSM people need to study him

I'm sort of torn. If we make fun of Phil for moving to one of the most expensive places in North America for no good reason, can we mock Bob for staying with his brother?

I mean, sure, he's a failure, but at least he's spending like a failure, if you know what I mean.
