This video is literally just seven minutes of him complaining about how people and things he doesn't like are popular on YouTube, and how that shouldn't be the case.

Also, I love how many fucking times he puts his name in the opening sequence.

Few things are most sadder than seeing Bob pretending what He actually cares for create a better enviroment on YouTube.

I like how he's treating T-Series like a regular youtuber.

Here’s Bob’s pitch for Highlander.

Bob is mental. Highlander fans would riot if the trailer for a reboot didn’t end with the line “There can be only one!” And everyone knows it.

Lootboxes negatively effect games even if you don't buy loot boxes. Games are rebalanced to be tedious grinds meant to frustrate instead of entertain. Unlockable rewards and extra content are gone in favour of putting that stuff behind loot boxes and DLC.

I’ve never understood this argument. What games are you playing that unlockables are hidden behind lootboxes or tough grinds? I play more than 30 new game releases a year including many of the big ones and I never see loot boxes. The last two times I saw micro transactions were Assassins Creed Odyssey and Addis dc Mankind Divided, both of which I didn’t even notice were in the game until I watched reviews after I had beaten them.
The only game I would say had aggressions microtransactions that I played(I didn’t touch battlefront 2) was MGSV. And again, those aren’t loot boxes.
The only games affected by loot boxes are the free to play games and multiplayer only shooters, genres that usually suck and have lower budgets anyway. I say let them be. They aren ruining gaming, because the best games don’t have them and likely won’t

 

[Flexo]

It comes from the same snide, I'm-better-than-the-fanboys place, though. This is deliberately calculated to be a reboot that would aggravate Highlander fans beyond belief, because that group is assuredly not part of the YA demographic. (It came out in 1986, for Kali's sake.) I can just see him sniggering to himself as he imagines the butthurt, licking his BBQ-sauce fingers as he belches McNugget breath into his already reeking underground dwelling.

I mean the original one almost was. The romance is a big part of the plot and there was Sean Connery. There was just plenty of sword fighting too to make it palatable for guys.

Not to mention the series could be pretty CW style at times too.

Sure, but the aesthetic was completely different. Brooding, scruffy loner with a trenchcoat and sword does not translate to Edward Cullen, and Almost Beheaded Clancy Motherfucking Brown would never, ever, ever, ever be accepted as a Kylo Ren emo pusbag.

While you SHOULD be right, I'd bet money right now I could go on fanfic.net or somewhere else for that interpretation of the Kurgan.

And that makes me sad.

It's really one of the many reasons to kill all humans.

 

[Pokemonquistador]

When I first saw Highlander, I thought "This is everything 12 year olds think is cool." I never thought "This shit should be set in a high school." I mean, the whole plot revolves around battles to the death and beheadings. When you put teenagers, trenchcoats, and battles to the death together, you think "high school massacre", not "vanilla YA romance."

The TV show of Highlander was the franchise in it's purest, distilled form.

"The Game" was treated as an afterthought and you basically had the show be about the life and times of Duncan and his friends. Immortals were introduced who were good and evil and had complex motives. Case in point, the relationships between Duncan and Amanda, or Duncan and Methos and so forth.

Duncan had a steady stream of villains, who ranged in motives and gimmicks and other sorts of stuff. Some survived multiple episodes and you had a lot of globe trotting and flashbacks, to let the show explore the different eras that Duncan lived in and how they had an impact on his life and how he lived.

You never watched the 90s Highlander series?

It was basically the show in it's pure distilled form and for a TON of people, the TV show was superior to the movies as far as the definitive version of the franchise.

 

[LaughingJoke]

What's really funny is as cheesy as the 90's Highlander series was they actually did episodes showing how being a kid or teen immortal would be shit. Gotta love how a cheesy 90's syndicate tv show even knew how bad Bob' idea were 25 years ago let alone today.

Here’s Bob’s pitch for Highlander.

For all of Bob's faults, I think he would have made a great sketch comedian, something like Robot Chicken. The sketch, while not that funny, would be somewhat in line with the rest of robot chicken's comedy, a goofy, one off, joke that would get stale if done over and over again, but might get a laugh if done well once or twice. And its not like Bob's other stuff is any good outside of a sketch comedy, Skynets actually the good guy? Paradise lost but its Carebears? What zany stuff guys! The problem is the joke would wear off quickly, much like the jokes in Robot Chicken, which is why its relegated to a few minutes at most. The problem is, Bob thinks his ideas are good enough to carry full length movies, which they aren't. His ideas are honestly meh even as sketches, but at least there they wouldn't overstay their welcome, as a full 2-3 hour film where people payed money to see, its hard to win them over on a wink and nod to the audience every few seconds on something that was at one point a serious idea. Heck, if Bob let go of his ego, he might be able to grow a sense of humor and turn out genuinely funny sketch ideas, but he can't, because he wants to be taken seriously, even though his ideas are ludicrous.

No I had seen some of it. I was a bit fan of almost all the 90s hour-long speculative fiction stuff, Highlander just wasn't on a channel I got regularly so I caught it in spurts.

Skynets actually the good guy?

Paradise lost but its Carebears? What zany stuff guys!

That's not very fair though... The ONLY good Highlander movie was the original, the others were godawful.... Spoony said it himself "There should have been only one."

The TV show was pretty good though, it and the original movie are just about the only good things to come out of the franchise unfortunately (The cartoon was bad, the Raven was bad, and the rest of the movies were REALLY bad)

 

[Judge Dredd]

I’ve never understood this argument. What games are you playing that unlockables are hidden behind lootboxes or tough grinds?

Off the top of my head, Destiny 2, Shadow of War, Battlefront 2, Battlefield V, Assassins Creed Odyssey, the newer Forza games, and recently Far Cry New Dawn. Though I didn't those games in part because they had a reputation as tedious grinds unless you spend money, so I can't confirm them personally. Destiny 2 and Shadow of War had to rebalance the gameplay after micro transactions were removed so there's clearly something to that argument.

Few things are most sadder than seeing Bob pretending what He actually cares for create a better enviroment on YouTube

I know I say "Bob is out of touch" a lot but that video really is like the modern version of "old man yells at cloud".

Sorry for the "mad on the internet", but I want to talk about autistic promotion of hbomberguy. Let's grant Bob's premise that PewDiePie, Markiplier, Game Grumps et al are just screaming at "hipster chucky cheese nighttrap" and raking in millions of views, and that people should watch retro gaming channels instead. Why promote hbomberguy? He's not a retro gamer outside of 1 stream. The only content he's known for is shilling No Mans Sky by screaming at the top of his lungs and asking anti-feminists about skulls in a forced attempt to make it a new meme.

If Bob wanted to promote retro gaming YouTubers, he could easily have promoted people like LGR and 8bitguy. But those guys mainly talk about old school PCs and home computers, and since home computers weren't part of Bob's childhood they are obsolete junk to be forgotten asap.

Okay, what about JonTron or AVGN/James Rofle? They talk about Nintendo all the time. Can't promote them. They don't preach woke opinions on Twitter and sometimes even expressed anti-woke opinions. What about SNESDrunk? Nope. He's willing to call a spade a spade, and as we all know farmed out low effort mascot platformers trying to cash in on the Mario and Sonic fad were all flawless masterpieces with no flaws. Plus he advocates piracy instead of buying your SNES collection every few years on the e-shop like a good corporate shill boy. Game Sack, Metal Jesus Rocks, and I'm sure many of the others use emulation, modded consoles, flash cards, and other after market parts to make retro gaming more convenient. Obsolete wasteland ghouls the lot of them.

So hbomberguy it is, the only person on the internet autistic enough to agree with Bob's ignorant opinions. I'll also go out on a limb and say that if the rumours that hbomberguy has plenty of skeletons in his closet are true, then they likely have a "I'll look the other way if you look the other way" type of agreement. But promoting him only damages Bob's argument by making it look like he doesn't understand retro gaming channels on top of not knowing what the sub2pewdiepie meme is about.

Could it be professional jealousy? Bob's career has effectively plateaued and most--if not all--those listed have achieved greater success than he as or ever will.

His Predator as alien-equivalent of dipshit weekend warrior pitch comes to mind as well.

His Predator as alien-equivalent of dipshit weekend warrior pitch comes to mind as well.

What's "funnier" is that's essentially the story of AvP:Requiem. After the rowdy "teenagers" cock things up in AvP, we see the pred equivalent of a bureaucrat having to come to earth to clean up the mess. If Bob was such a font of pop culture knowledge he should know this.

Spoiler: Nerd Sperging

I'll admit, part of why I love AvP:R so much is that I like to imagine Wolf just constantly sighing and bitching internally the whole movie.

'Fucking amateurs. We have contagion scanners on our ships for a reason, dumbasses. But no, we're all too drunk to bother with procedure after a hunt so now who's got to clean up the mess? Me! That's who.'

Really I could have fun just putting subtitles to that whole movie.

 

[LordofCringe7206]

That's likely part of it. It more likely has more to due with what we constantly see from Bob: "These people don't align completely with my worldview therefore they must be defeated."

If it was Anita or Lindsay Ellis who was at the top of the YouTube hill, Bob likely wouldn't give two shits about his own failed career.

So this is what Bob looked like in 2003-2004.

This is something about the retro gaming scene that really annoys me. A lot of the interest from people like Bob is just focused on the NES because that's the console that their parents bought for them when they were kids. If you got all of your knowledge of gaming from him you would think gaming in the 80s consisted solely of Mario, Zelda and Metroid. I wonder if he's even heard of King's Quest, for example.

There's also the irony in the fact that Moviebob hates his own country (America) but he views the world through an America-centric perspective. The NES was only really popular in the US, in Britain the ZX Spectrum was the dominant gaming machine and in a lot of other European countries it was the Commodore 64. You can also see this pig-ignorance of the rest of the world whenever he talks about other topics, such as with Brexit or the yellow vest movement in France.
