It baffles me that that the Metro is reporting on a grown man swearing on youtube about a film when we're fighting a war in Iraq.
They also had a news bit today about a cat discovering that his balls are gone after waking up from neutering. HuffPo took it even further and did a video segment on it.
 
Actually just going to an Adam Sandler film is too. They're junk, but they're inoffensive junk. The only person to be mad at is yourself for deciding to watch an Adam Sandler film in the first place.

I forgive Adam Sandler every shitty movie he has ever made or ever will make because of this one line in Happy Gilmore.

I mean those comparatively good older ones weren't Adam Sandler movies, those were movies starring Adam Sandler. The problem happened when he became in charge of everything and got extraordinarily lazy, but that's neither here nor there.
 

Really? Really.

Most brutal film review my ass. Im seriously surprised anyone from any form news site bothers to watch manBoob's reviews. Also its less brutality and more manbaby rage because he watched an Adam Sandler movie.

What's next? Kotaku decides that he should be part of their hated journalist team? Thats site would sink faster than a paper boat in a storm, and no Im not just referring to his weight.
 
I thought the site was already sinking after Gamer Gate started up.
My understanding is that they've gone into full-damage control but have been haemorrhaging money at an unrecoverable rate since GamerGate helped the sponsors do the right thing. Kotaku is afloat but dead in the water and won't be going anywhere but down.

Someone should point them to the 70 minute dissection of Star Wars The Phantom Menace by RedLetterMedia. That's a news-worthy review.

They might be able to spin off some of the assets that weren't really involved in that whole mess. But Kotaku isn't one of those. I agree it's going down.

I still don't understand how people find his raging entertaining and insightful.
Aren't reviews supposed to be inform the audience about the strengths and flaws of the piece, then make a judgement call on quality of the piece so the audience knows whether to consume it or not?
Because I thought they were, as opposed to a bunch of swearing, screaming and general tardery.

Technically speaking there was a news article about it... but it was more about a written 100 something paged essay counter arguements by some idiot who loved the prequel trilogy way too much. No, i am not joking. Someone actually did do an essay countering every argument Mr Plinkett had said, thou most of the early pages are insults at him.

Bob is a by-product of the AVGN syndrome in that any review he says is filled with Khorne level rage against anything he dislikes. He's also the kind of guy who applies the 'Listen and believe' doctrine Anita has been spewing out of her ass.

Also his audience tend to be the dumbshits who believe that rage = funny and will hyuck it all up as information flows in one ear and flys out from the other without absording anything.

As funny as that particular one was, I think it helped start a horrible trend of narcissistic "reviewers" making "reviews" of movies about half as long as the movie itself. The whole point of a review is I want to find out if something is worth watching, not watch half the fucking movie with some guy yakking over it.

The vast majority of people doing this are not fucking funny, they're not right about most things, and they're autistic as Rain Man and Chris-Chan's love child.

Chronologically speaking the trend of reviewers being angry at old stuff began with, again, AVGN. This in turn caused people like the Nostalgia Critic and co, Irate Gamer etc to rise up in YouTube. RedLetterMedia, whilst being culprits of the long ass reviews, actually use the time well. People like Nostalgia Critic use that amount of time to be 'funny', i.e. scream and tardrage.

The difference being dave plinkett plays a fat nitpicking sad basement dwelling anti social twat, Bob is one.
 
I've decided to do something stupid. I have decided to Overthink myself about the characters Bob plays in his Game Overthinker series. Please note that not all characters that he played in the series will appear and some will be based on the few times I bothered to watch the idiotic story.

The Game Overthinker - the hero of the series. He's an average man in a world where video games and reality are colliding and its his job that neither destroys the other. In the series he's shown to be the ideal man to talk about gaming. He stands up for what is right and advocates for reason and good games. He's brave, smart and is surrounded by loyal friends.
This, of course, is not the real Bob Chipman.

The Omega Thinker - the 'female' embodiment of girl gamers. She/he (don't know if its supposed to be a trans or a woman, and frankly don't care) symbolizes the 'new' generation of gamers, a generation where man and woman can enjoy playing the same games (despite the fact that actual girl gamers play the same games as boy gamers). She is the representation of games where player characters are not the same stereotype, i.e. the cis white male, and are diverse.
This character would definitely not survive a meeting with a marketing meeting in which fantasy is pooped on by the realities of consumer bases and monetary logic. Oh and is most likely based on Zoe Quinn.

The Retro/Necro Thinker - hooo boy, this character. This was the time where I pretty much stopped watching the series as a whole. The Retro Thinker is the embodiment of classic era gaming in which 2D platformers were more common than bread and, to the nausia of everyone reading this, Mario and Sonic are the biggest rivalry of the time. In the debut episode of the Retro, the Retro dumbass decided to cryogenicly put himself on stasis so that he can see what the future holds for gaming. Naturally (in Bob's mind) The Retro finds that modern games are terrifying and bad. Eventually he is 'saved' by Blob and goes on a journey. After doing a lame parody of the original Planet of the Apes iconic twist moment (in which the statue of Liberty is replaced with Sonic) the Retro stinker becomes the Necro thinker. Using the powers of sprite-necromancery (insert trademark), the Necro idiot decides that the best way to destroy modern games is to resurrect old video game sprites. He is defeated by the Game Overthinker because the latter is the main character of the show who demonstrates that indie games like Minecraft and Angry Birds (yes, Angry Birds) are a sign that old school gaming still exists.

But the best character in the series is perhaps the most realistic one:

The Anti-Thinker - the embodiment of modern age gamers, dudebros, Call of Duty fans and lovers of things harder than hardcore. Oh and hater of indie and old school stuff. The anti represents everything wrong with the game's industry and current gamers. He believes that games that make you think are the worst kind of games and that playing CoD for hundreds of hours is the ultimate embodiment of manhood in gaming. He is the character that we, the (most probably already annoyed) audience are supposed to despise with a gamer's hate passion.
So why is this character the best character? Easy. This is the Real Bob Chipman. This is what Moviebob is in the eyes of those who criticize him and who have been harassed by him. Razorfist, a guy who in his review of GTA 5 criticized Trevor as being obnoxiously, was parodied by Bob in his Anti-thinker persona as him saying that Trevor is the best character in GTA 5 (with Sargon hilariously making a joke that it was the best Jim Sterling impression). Bob has ironically created his true persona in the Anti-thinker. He doesn't overthink, he underthinks at best and ignores at worst. He refuses to even allow the thought that the gamers who have been declared dead by the members of a colluding game press have the right to protest, and was one of those who stood up for the gamejournos. Despite the damning evidence that the group exist(ed), Bob was along those who called the evidence as conspiracy theories by right-wing political minds. To this day, he feverishly defends every comment people like Anita and Wu have made, something the Anti-thinker would do to his corrupt AAA companies.

Thus I bring to you, my dear reader, the harsh reality of who Bob is. Not a man of balanced opinions in gaming, nor a man who willingly listens to both sides of a debate. Bob is the man with biased opinions and will angrily try to shut down anyone who is against those opinions, more often than not ending up getting rekt by said person (See Totalbiscuit).
