I'm really surprised I'm the first person to post this.

One can only wonder if Link would make a response. Really, what did he complain about specifically with the next smash bros. game? Did it have to do with GamerGate?

 

[Rogowski]

It had nothing to do with Super Smash Brothers whatsoever, he was referring to the threats that the two were receiving during the early days of gamergate and how he believed that the characters from SSB would be disgusted with their treatment of Zoe and Anita.

One would ask him this: would fictional characters even care?

I know Bowser wouldn't give a shit.

Nah Mario is real to him.

Bowser would care more about doing his job, which is kidnapping Peach or go-karting with Mario (if he still any of that).

Nah Mario is real to him.

And with that, he'd be disappointed if Mario didn't have matching opinions that Movie Bob has.

Iirc Bob was heartbroken when Nintendo made it official canon that the Mario brothers were from the mushroom kingdom and not Brooklyn. He does everything he can to make Mario human.

Spoiler: GYMBADGE OF HATE

So I know this post, and this thread, are a bit old and I may be necroing, but I saw this post a while back, and have been thinking on it. Meant to post this earlier, but I didn't bother, so here we are today.

*Ahem*

I'm no big fan of GamerGate, but...

Not everybody is a fucking Nintendo fanatic, Bob, but you have exactly the "I piqued in the 80s/90s" aesthetic

Spoiler: Rant explaining what I mean

This isn't a fat joke. When I say "Aesthetic" my meaning is a bit more complex than mere looks. It's... I can't explain it well but it's a fucking thing. I've seen it in musicians, I've seen it in webcomics, I've seen it all over. These people all over the place. Some point in the past, typically the rear end of the last century, was the high point of their life and everything they do is rooted in a fixation upon that point in history. In MovieBob's case.... Everything about him has this vibe of fanatical love for "Well excuuuuuusee me Princess!" "That's Momma Luigi to you, Mario!" era of Nintendo to him. Would not surprise me a bit to see him sporting a fucking power glove.

I expect of Nintendo fanatics.

Honestly, I really really don't give a shit about what Mario and Link think, independently of the fact that they are fucking fictional characters. Nor would "Nintendo doesn't approve of this shit" Super Smash bros bother me one bit. I haven't played a Nintendo game since I was 13, your attempt to shame me (Even though I'm pretty far from Pro-GG so I'm not really the target of your remark, I think, but that's beside the point) falls completely flat.

I don't want to sound like a cunt, but I feel pretty confident saying that I am sure there are plenty of other people out there who don't give a shit about Nintendo or it's games, who are also completely unimpressed by your attempted shaming. There is a wide world of gaming outside of Nintendo.

TL;DR - "We were supposed to be better than this. ALL of this." Why? Because you like Nintendo games?

WHO PAYS THIS MAN

seriously this guy makes 3k a month on hipster welfare

who reads a 300lb middle aged man unironically tweeting "WHAT WOULD MARIO AND LINK THINK OF US, I WENT TOE TO TOE WITH JACK THOMPSON AND FOUGHT AGAINST THE GENESIS MENACE FOR THIS?!?!" and decides that this is something they want to fund.

i'm legitimately mad. there are people fucking starving in my town.

Has he actually been doing anything since he left The Escapist or is he just mooching off of Patreon?

 

[tehpope]

He did a review of Fiddy Shades of Grey.

Spoiler: Weaboo bullshit

Why am I not surprised that he holds this attitude.

P.S. Video Games as THE art form of the 21rst century? No. Not by a fucking long shot.

And it has nothing to do with Westernization and Bro-ification.

Westernization and Bro-ification? Vidya originated in the west if I recall correctly, when some guy made a game on a game called "Tennis for Two". As for Bro-ification, wouldn't that at least existed before the the 360 came? Also, as a gamer, I think Bob is going to far with this.

I suspect that in Bobs eyes, video games began with Mario.

Not that it matters much, because he's still overstating their significance.

I mean... I can't imagine his ideal world with Video Games as THE Art form of the 21rst century.

Traditional art... Writting, painting, film, music, etc. These things were all constantly evolving, challenging past forms of the medium, rebelling against the zeitgeist, reshaping it, etc. All that jazz that makes the history of the arts fucking spectacular.

My guess at MovieBobs ideal "THE art form of the 21rst century" world?

A gigantic, century long, 80s/90s kid circle jerker talking about how great the original Super Nintendo was with a bit of Dobbsonesque "Girl power! Am I right, ladies? No? I'm not? A thousand pardons. (Tips fedora.)" thrown in, and "Well excuuuuuuuse me Princess!" played on endless loop. The Power Glove as the height of human artistic expression? The only product being repetitive Nostalgia-Fuel "Remember _____? It was a good game!" fluff.

Stagnant. Just like MovieBob (See - Spoilered rant in previous post about MovieBob being the sort whose life peaked in the 80s/90s.) .

In regards to art form, I can see how video games can have that possibility, just like with literature, music, painting, and film. Even then, those mediums can be done not for artistic reasons but rather for entertainment (game/movie made to just have fun, painting drawn because why not, book written just to make some story). Really though, your guess at MovieBob's ideal world rather accurate. It would just be stagnant. One would ask him if he can list any video games that literally rebelled against the zeitgeist and such.
