And here I was thinking that the popularity of heroes as dads--in other words, making video game heroes that feel like real people, as opposed to omnidisciplinary interstellar plumbers--was actually a pretty good sign of the gaming industry's progress. Silly me.

 

[Fulda's Gap]

Bob, real talk.

Every retard that gets a degree in game dev or any nerd that's experienced in it has half a dozen ideas. EVERYONE has ideas. Ideas are cheap. Know what isn't? The effort to bring them alive.

It really is interesting that someone who says the game industry needs to grow up praises a character with no real personality or backstory in the games themselves. Of course, that is why he is such a fan. He projects himself on Mario, a blank sheet of a character, much like girls project themselves on Bella from the Twilight series.

He probably wants it to grow like how Mario does when he gets 'Shrooms.

Remember that bob's forgot about the fact those cartoon platformers he jerks off over where just as cliche and oversaturated in the 90's as gritty 3rd person shit is now. And everyone fucking hated that too. Which is partly why doom and quake was such a hit. Of coarse bobs such a Nintendo fanboy he's completely out of touch with 5-6th gen developments and pc gaming is alien to him which means he has no understanding of how the current status quo evolved or the merits of fp.
On reflection he shouldn't be a game critic for the same reason a diabetic vegan shouldn't be a general food critic

I'm sure Bob would find some way to defend that saturation as opposed to the FPS one.

 

[Positron]

I think that might be a shitty joke about how many games recently have had fathers or father figures. I think it triggers him because of how dissappointed his father is of him.

If this is a joke, it is a failed one. There is nothing ridiculous about having a father figure as video-game protagonist.
Speaking of Bobby's "ideas", what happened to the 600-page book he was supposed to be editing a while back? Was that a joke as well?

 

[Emperor Julian]

Well he did think other m was better than metriod prime. Despite being kinda sexist. So he'll say anything against those nasty fps even if it contradicts everything else.

I legit would have considered Bob as the one who'd hate both games. I only figure he likes Other M solely because it's not one of those dirty FPSes like the Prime series was.

MovieBob uploaded his review of Finding Dory here if you're interested. Nothing too special and it's a positive review. Anyway...

 

[cypocryphy]

I would like to point out once again that if Bob reviewed "Finding Dory" it means that he goes to the movies and watches movies for little kids all by himself. It is just an odd thing to picture. (for me anyway...)

 

[Without A Gout]

Bob's apparently planning a game, and well, the tweet speaks for itself, really:
View attachment 105346 Who knows, maybe he'll team up with Quinn or Wu to do this.

The game is about him and his "dad-bod" engaged in the realistic cover of his living room couches as his dad throws job applications and incendiary verbal criticisms at him. Totally disruptive to his Mario fanboyism.

Depending on his work situation, he might have attended a press screening, so it would have been with other critics. Disney are VERY generous passing those out. WB and Fox are not.

 

[Fulda's Gap]

So, he reviewed a kids' movie?

Why do nerds do this? If you're going to review a movie, review a goddamn movie. Review something arthouse, review something avant garde, review something that has depth to it other than fucking Finding Dory. Find something WORTH reviewing. Find something that had effort put into it as a piece of art and not as a movie for mass marketing and merchandising.

Any adult will be able to predict what happens Finding Dory in real time as it isn't made for them. It is a kids' movie, Bob. I know you like your video games easy as possible, but strain your brain for once.

 

[Alberto Balsalm]

Let's be fair. Finding Nemo came out 13 years ago, which means the kids who grew up loving it are now all adults. There's a significant nostalgia market here, and some people are going to want to know in advance whether the sequel lives up to the hype.

But the thing is, when most movie critics review kids' movies, they typically just go off of whether it's a good product for kids and their parents, or other useful things like that. Talking at length about the plot holes and themes of kids' movies while painting adult movies in broad strokes does not make you a critic, it makes you an autist.

"As a film that can be described as 'arthouse' or 'avant garde,' this movie is pretentious to the point of unwatchability, but I will pretend to like it so I don't feel like a dummy."

There you go, a blanket review for those movies.

 

[Positron]

I thought he wouldn't give a good review to Finding Dory unless he could find a lesbian in the movie.

Had Bob delved into arthouse he could easily find pee o'seas, gays, trannies, fats, nuts, tards, gimps, or whatever mah representashoon quota that SJWs are screeching that Hollywood must fill.

Those movies don't have people in colorful outfits fighting eachother though.
