I find it funny Bob is defending Activision when he blamed them for the twin towers falling.

Putting out a shitty mobile Diablo game is pretty close to a monstrous terrorist atrocity.

Reading old comments from this year old video. They're hilariously ironic considering Bob came crawling back.

Superior taste, everyone. (And him liking That's My Boy explains a lot about his defense of James Gunn.)

That's My Boy was the only Adam Sandler movie to make me legitimately uncomfortable. It's beyond being a shitty Sandler flick (although it is that); the "hey it's funny when a hot teacher molests a little boy" shtick isn't funny, isn't cute, and was already mercilessly lampooned by South Park years before this movie came out.

What strikes me as really odd about this is Sandler is a known Republican, to the point John Nolte over on Breitbart would thickheadedly defend him as a great entertainer. I'm shocked Bob would have anything good to say about him.

I dunno. That "landed on his feet" comment makes me think it might have come from right here at the Farms.

Peterson's an odd duck (or frog, as the case may be): A FUCKING LEAF with fairly milquetoast views, but he seems to have an almost Trumpian super-power for driving Bob and his ilk up the wall. I know that this is a cliche analysis, but I'm throwing it out here anyway: I think a lot of it is jealousy. Peterson is a pop culture critic (of sorts) who has a bestselling book, gets on TV, charges fanbois ten bux to take a personality test, and has generally "made it" in the sphere of being a public intellectual. His kind of prominence is the sort of thing Bob would kill to have, and it must eat him up inside to watch all this attention get paid instead to a verbose snow wop with "wrong" opinions.

If I recall correctly, another Kiwi said it best: Peterson's not telling people anything over the top. He's saying, 'Clean up your room, put on your pants, get a job, and you'll find you're a lot happier.'

Which of course triggers Bob.

Also, didn't Bob endlessly sperg about Sandler being horrible during the Pixels shit? Or was he approaching that sperging solely from the video game standpoint?

As for That's My Boy, the thing that makes me feel so uncomfortable about the entire premise is the fact that there was no need for it in the first place. Why did a "father-son have an estranged relationship" story need the "teacher molests student" angle thrown into it? Especially when they don't really do anything with it.

It would be one thing if they were cleverly lampooning the concept like South Park did. Or if they were even going the more serious route of talking about not only how an under age relationship effects the victim's mentality but also how it effects the offspring of that relationship. But they didn't do either. The entire film is nothing more than cheap and poor laughs that have the minimum amount of thought put into them.

So why did this premise have to exist in the first place? If they were looking for the "young inexperienced father" angle, they could of just bumped Sandler's characters age up to 18 and have his partner be someone his age as well. You would still have the plot line of a deadbeat father trying to get back into good grace with his estranged son without the disturbing premise of child molestation.

The glib answer is that Adam Sandler must be a classless piece of shit who either thinks this stuff is legitimately hilarious, is one of those guys who checks out how hot the teacher is whenever one of those stories breaks in the media, or both.

More seriously, I think it was vanity: with this ridiculously contrived scenario, it allows Sandler to play a character who is only old enough to have a grown son because he fathered him when he was 12.

This is likely the most irritating Bob has been in a while, and I don't have any investment in Diablo.

But I do wonder how much of this ignorance is an act. As dumb as Bob can be, he knows that China and Japan are different cultures, right? And this isn't games filled with Japanese cultural iconography like Pocky and Rocky. This is stuff like Bungie being busy making a new IP for the Chinese market while their current project (Destiny) is still on fire.

And look at that. There's NetEase again...

I think it takes slightly more than "having consumed a lot" to be a passable critic. At the very least you also have to talk with other people who consumed a lot, in order that you learn to fashion your idea in such a way as to be convincing, appreciate other people's ideas, and have a chance to re-examine your opinion. Things like theories and histories are good to know but are only essential for long-standing and serious art forms (which films, but not capeshit, qualify).

I can agree with that. Though given there's no real formal education when it comes to games (or at least none worth a damn) you can still get good game critics.

Most game critics have little to no experience with programming or software development and it shows.

A lot of them, even the good ones, will critique a game for technical shortcomings that would be next to impossible to fix due to hardware limitations or time constraints, or they will make completely asinine suggestions for improvement without understanding just how much work and man hours would go into their "simple fix".

 

[BScCollateral]

It's kind of a spectrum. Some people can make useful comments even though they are not particularly good players, and other people are more like a restaurant critic who pours the soup into his ears and complains it doesn't taste good.

Knowing more stuff will probably help, but even that's situational. Scott Manley's knowledge of space science adds a lot to his comments on Kerbal Space Program. It wouldn't help much with Alien Isolation.

New video on Diablo:
https://www.escapistmagazine.com/v2/2018/11/05/diablolique/

Says the guy who looks like if Brian Posehn died inside.

It's called "viewcount" you moron.

I love how hating Trump makes up for decades of being an utter dick in Bob's eyes.

Tactics, targets.

 

[Doctor of Autism]

"HAHAHAHA IT'S FUNNY HOW WE SCAMMED PEOPLE USING THEIR SENSE OF EMPATHY BY PRETENDING TO BE LIKE THEM!"

This is the pinnacle of comedy to Bob.

 

[The Fatriarchy]

But I thought they didn't have empathy and were obsolete trash people that want to kill and subjugate all women and minorities...

Sure Nostradumbass, sure.

I feel like this is what happens when you run out of shit to complain about.

You really wanna judge Pete Davidson for his looks?

In English, please?

I'm pretty sure you can do all of those things. There's a bathing system in the game where you can have a woman wash your character and the implication seems to be they'll bump uglies, and I'm sure you can throw a stick of dynamite at Jack Marston tho you'll fail whatever mission you're on. This is just me judging from clips though.

 

[Mola Ram]

*snerk* "Nostradumbass." I'm keepin' that one.

This is literally what Bob would like to make a video game out of:

You really wanna judge Pete Davidson for his looks?

I'm feeling a terrible sensation of cognitive dissonance and nausea in that ... I ... urk ... sorta agree with Bob. Pete Davidson is a classless piece of shit and he looks absurd.

However, I would like to point out that, even looking like that, he tapped Ariana Grande, which Bob will only ever do if he somehow runs her over with a car.

In English, please?

Forgot his insulin, maybe?

Rockstar didn't "deliberately" choose to include this in the game. Much like GTA, you can just kill whoever you want in the game. Since suffragette's were apart of this time period, they were included in the game and thus fall into that category of those who can be harmed.

Also, I'd safely bet a year's worth of rent that if the developers hadn't included this "feature" in the game, Bob and his ilk would still be complaining:

"These suffragette's suffered terrible violence and oppression during their fight for women's rights. How dare Rockstar try to sugarcoat this ugly topic by not allowing violence to occur against them!"

Just don't bother pleasing them. That's how RDR2 got $725m in a weekend after all. Also, Bob would never play RDR2 because he doesn't own an Xbox One or a PS4.

why does he point towards Gamergate as to why racism suddenly started appearing? Online gaming has been almost completely unfiltered from back when online gaming has been getting started, and it hit it's peak when CoD was also the biggest thing in online gaming, how has Bob forgot this? I would accept the fact that he maybe only plays Mario 3 every few years, but he referenced the "CoD dudebro" thing when he made his Razorfist "parody" video.

Bob hasn't played a video game since 2013 maybe.

If it were made by Nintendo, Bob would sprint out of his basement and pick one up. I mean, I imagine he bought Breath of the Wind given that like RDR2, its open road is huge as fuck.
