the fact is I still hold EA and Bioware in the wrong because they promised one thing and never delivered on it

That's perhaps the worst part. Bob was defending EA when gamers raged about the broken promises both EA and Bioware made. EA. The same company who lied over and over again whilst releasing broken game after broken game. The same EA that keeps shoving drm and always online drm down the collective throats of consumers.

Bob didn't give a shit about consumer rights back then nor will he ever.

Bob's biggest lie IMO was when he tried to claim that nobody "back then" called themselves Gamers (aka his childhood, the 90s, as if that would fucking matter now even if he was right) and for some reason that matters in the here and now.

Bob's living in the past is megalithic in-scale.

People called themselves gamers as early back as the fucking '80s (I would guess even earlier). Of course, they often meant tabletop and pen and paper games.

Nah man, I think you mean "Players", that's how Bob remembers it apparently.

 

[UglyOldJafar]

I personally remember when he also made a video claiming that Microsoft and Sony would be better off if they left the game industry and only let glorious Nintendo take over.
Wasn't there once a time he said that monopolism is evil?

Is Bob really claiming that? If so, the man is full of shit. But we knew that already.

 

[A Random]

I usually just feel sad for people like Extra Credits and others that don't seem to realise that they're an anachronism, but with Bob it's just so much more painful and psuedo-intellectual and he himself so unlikable that I can't muster any-kind of sympathy.

How are they anachronistic?

Yeah. Think it's one of the last episodes but he basically says that nobody back then ex themselves "Gamers"

They've all done "build better gamer" episodes and all talk as if people who play games can just come together and have a "discussion" then we can solve "the toxic aspects of the community". Bob's worst for this. The way they talk about things is if gamers are an actual community rather than just a mainstream hobby that can really include anyone.

It's about as effective as telling people "to watch better movies" and I just feel kinda bad for extra Credits guys cos it's not going to change.

Fuck that noise. Because when they say that, they mean anyone who isn't in complete agreement with them about everything, and their solution is basically the Final Solution.

 

[Splendid]

How is this fat fuck so stupid?

"Do correct thing = reward"

That's not right-wing, that's basic sanity.

I guess Movieblob is just salty about all of the "do stupid-ass thing = get smacked" he's had in his life lately.

I think he means that people should do the right thing without expecting a reward?

 

[Enclave Supremacy]

I think he means that people shod do the right thing without expecting a reward?

Unless it's a donation on Patreon obviously.

 

[Girlfriend-free Boy]

I wonder how the people that tormented him in school would react to him now.

 

[Problematic Kawaii]

I bet the games Anita/ZQ pretend to like are okay if they have do correct thing=reward

I remember when I first starting watching Bob only being slightly irritating at being constantly called a "dude-bro" because I liked Halo, think he must have had about 30 episodes out then. But as I got older and the show got shitter I stopped watching and started actively disliking the constant Mario-sperging, rambling about Neo-Con conspiracies, crap plot and rampant SJW-ness.

I usually just feel sad for people like Extra Credits and others that don't seem to realise that they're an anachronism, but with Bob it's just so much more painful and psuedo-intellectual and he himself so unlikable that I can't muster any-kind of sympathy.

I don't feel too sorry for him or Extra Credits because both are pretty pretentious, but Moviebob's worse because of that damn book.

"Man, we were being pretty soft on him, huh?"

I find that MovieBob (like many cows) tends to produce content that caters exclusively to an audience of, well, himself. His recent "Really That Good" series is an example of this principle: all the movies he rates (The Avengers, Die Hard, etc) aren't really controversial in that regard - they're considered to be pretty decent. He hasn't done one yet that isn't "Really That Good," rendering the purpose of the series kind of moot. Also, those videos tend to be, like, half an hour long - which shows how attached he is to his content. He's an echo chamber of one.

Off topic, but his fellow fat fuck Jim Sterling has a series called Movie Defense Force where he finds good points about movies where most people deem as shit. He even called out Bob when he did a video on Transformers.
By call out, I mean he said getting angry at Bay for making big dumb movies is like getting angry at babies for shitting in their diapers.

A fat bastard calling out a fat bastard?

Both Jim and Bob are cringe-inducing assholes. Perhaps they were separated at birth?

I'm pretty sure positive re-enforcement is a basic tenet of behavioral conditioning. It's effective enough that it works on animals. Video games are just a more sophisticated and fun version of positive re-enforcement.

The fuck does that have to do with politics? Couldn't that same argument be used for internet SJ culture? Do correct thing by spouting the pre-approved beliefs, receive reward in form of positive re-enforcement from peers and sycophants. Bob perceives his reward as social capital among people way more popular than him, like Anita-senpai.

When you try to make vague associations between two very different things based on fuck all, it can kind of backfire on you.

It is official: Bobo hates South park

From the New York Post Editorial Board:

Fuck me, I can't believe I've gotten to the point where I'm thinking The New York Post and Brietbart have valid points. Strange bedfellows, indeed.

Nah man, I think you mean "Players", that's how Bob remembers it apparently.

I guess Bob don't wanna be a player no more.

Jim at least knows he's a smarmy bastard and he plays it up by looking like the dictator from V for Vendetta. The guy actually does put some thought into his videos and, unlike Bob, doesn't come across like a person of average intelligence who thinks he's a fucking genius. He comes across as a fairly smart man who likes to hear himself talk and I have some disagreements with him. And he's a smarmy bastard. But I'd rather be stuck in a conversation at a party with Jim than with Bob. Jim would probably be kind of interesting to talk to, even when he gets frustrating. Bob would just be a fucking drag.

Maybe it's the British accent making him sound smart, though, IDK.

The Jimquisitor guy is pretty much a character. He was a guest in an episode of Retsutalk and he sounds like an okay guy. But I don't know how nice he is compared to Bob, since I never heard the 'real' Bob Chipman.

I figured it was a character, but how much of it was him versus how much of it is fabricated always seems kind of hard to discern, especially when people start becoming their characters.

Like Spoony.
