Blobert looks like some mutant beast belched forth from David Cronenberg's darkest nightmares.

Old Call of Cthulhu books are great sources of inspiration for artists' renderings of Bob. (Well, he is from Massachusetts.)

Remember when Bob said Metroid Prime sucked because it was a FPS?

cancer kid finally reached 1M. something that bobbo retardo will never manage to do

The people in this thread are so much funnier, wittier, more creative and more fun to talk to than MovieBob ever will be, and that's beautiful.

I don't. I also didn't think I could have even less respect for the guy but everyday is full of surprises.

Late, I know, but...


I've seen this assumption from both (extreme) ends of the political spectrum, and the rationale is basically that unlike Iraq, Vietnam, etc, the US military would not play by Geneva-Convention-ish rules with easily gamable weaknesses when suppressing the red states. Waco would basically by the SOP, and be cheered on and propagandized as "...and here's why that's a good thing" by the media every step of the way. I'm not sure if this is true or would even work in practice- America is a big fucking place and so on- but this notion requires believing that the US took a dive in basically every war since Korea (note that the far right believes this explicitly.) IOW, the American ruling class would go scorched earth against their own uppity peasants in a way they never would against foreigners.

Something to bear in mind is that in every war the US has fought, the US was trying to take and hold territory, which isn't something you can do without boots on the ground. The elites would want a war of extermination. Their world starts and stops at the East and West Coasts, so they'd think nothing of nuking the red states into oblivion, using UAVs and drones, chemical and biological weapons, and so on. Why worry? After all, it's just the obsolete red states.

Is Bob saying he wouldn't want to be King, he would just want to be the architect of the final solution to the miracle whip problem or run the secret police?
Jesus Bob.

It's something we already knew. Bob isn't out for political power. Only the power to hurt anyone whom he believes hurt him in some way, shape, or form.

Fortunately for us obsolete Kiwis, the one thing standing in Bob's way to that power is himself.

 

[Doctor of Autism]

I don't. I also didn't think I could have even less respect for the guy but everyday is full of surprises.

I mean it really isn't surprising since Bob hates FPS games since Dudebros love them and some more autistic reasons like:

- Believing FPS games were made to mentally train gamers to kill "brown people"
- Believing FPS gamers and the games are evil set to destroy the industry based on a dream he had where Shigeru Miyamoto designated him as the chosen one.

 

[Captain Marvelous]

And then tell you how "terrifying and dangerous" the capitol riots were.

And not saying a thing about the black dude who tried to attack the Capitol himself.

 

[EnemyStand]

Pfft. All I needed to teach me that in Minecraft was way too much time on my hands and a history on Muhammed. These dudebros need to up their game if they need to be brainwashed to do that in Minecraft.

- Believing FPS gamers and the games are evil set to destroy the industry based on a dream he had where Shigeru Miyamoto designated him as the chosen one.

Well, they normified the industry so as much as it hurts to admit it, Bob's not totally wrong. But hey, as long as you focus on the games you like and have fun with them and ignore the true obsoletes (games journalists) you can still have fun with them. Also, Chris-chan was obviously Miyamoto's chosen one. Alas, the dang dirty trolls cut the tapestry, and so destiny itself was destroyed...

Is it just me or does this remind you of the spergs in the 1990's that insisted vidya caused Columbine?

I mean considering Bob compared the Console Wars to Vietnam, that boy was never right.

A dying kid with brain cancer will reach more people than movieblob in his 10 years as a worthless reviewer of useless bullshit. Poor kid, life isnt fair. This retard and his piece of shit brother should be the ones that are dying.

Ayy, fortunately the kid doesn't have terminal brain cancer, but still has a nasty condition. Namely, a microbe installed on his brain that compromised his nervous system.

Just to clarify. This kid is sweet and deserves nothing but the best. As for Bob, may he get that microbe on his brain. And brain cancer too.

 

[Quixotic Man]

I don't. I also didn't think I could have even less respect for the guy but everyday is full of surprises.

The actual reason is even worse. Bob doesn't like Prime because "FPSes are the most creatively bankrupt genre." He has never given more detail, just that it was bad because you were in first person.

Bob wanted the game industry to be normified but not in the way it has but more that everyone would play the games he likes and make him feel like an elite the same way how he feels with how Marvel is vastly popular in the movie industry.

 

[Kyria the Great]

Is Bob even aware of more story driven shooters like the Metro series of games?

And since everything Bob pathologically dislikes has some trace back to his youth, he associates FPS games to the jocks that supposedly tormented his life. They all necessarily are associated with the GOP (more like GQP amirite?), are practicing Christians, live in backwater crapholes like West Virginia and Nebraska, and watch dredge like Christopher Nolan movies.

He's aware of if as much as he is aware of everything else: Not at all.

RE: Star Trek Autism

Most people in the Star Trek universe would reject someone with Bob's attitudes. They give you a lot of chances if you want to be a better person. That's...literally the entire ethos TNG+: we can't make ourselves rich, so let's make ourselves into better people. This is not through shitty transhumanist nonsense, something that is rejected by Star Trek aggressively (the borg, various villians who wanted to live forever, the augments), but rather through trying new things, developing new skills, experiencing new cultures if possible. You're given a hell of a lot more respect as a person if you try your hand at acting and become alright at it than anything else. A true Starfleet officer would reject an "immortal robot body" concept and any Trek episode keeping in line with how the shows are written would point out how insane and fucked up wanting that would be.

If you were not to make any attempts at being a better person, you're promptly forgotten. And I mean this, Bashir's dad was a loser who had "big plans" and basically did nothing his entire life but think about how he was going to be an architect - he never actually ended up doing fuck all with his life because he was lazy and unskilled. He didn't end up homeless by being shit at his life but he was simply ignored. Someone like bob would certainly be allowed to be a fat dipshit and have a pretty good life(long, too, as medical advancements in those time periods were insane).

Should be noted that a lot of Star Trek's worldbuilding was just people throwing shit in there as a gag and forgetting it. No money? Comedic effect in Star Trek IV, later revised as The Canon even though McCoy talks about money in Star Trek VI, and there's three different references to "earning your pay" in the TOS show. Vulcans spurred change in humanity? Go to enterprise and meeting the vulcans instantly turned every human being into a communist and they radically globalized (after a devastating series of nuclear and racial wars, with absolutely no hard feelings) within 30 years.

Star Trek is not written very well as a setting. It's a great vehicle for stories of varying qualities. If you step back and focus on the big picture it's fucking nonsense. But boy oh boy, there's some great stories in that franchise.

Reflecting on faux intellectualism as @Therealhomor pointed out to us.... real smart people have the ability to get points across without having to use $5 words.

Outside of academic situations where large words are actually called for for definition's sake, scientists don't talk like the kid from Dexter's Lab in casual conversation, they don't have to, and like most people, smart or not, don't "want" to either... (and even then, research papers have abstracts and conclusions for a reason, so you can get the point BEFORE you get lost in table after table of otherwise useless data)

Seriously, I had an electronics engineer for a father who could build the guidance system for a Tomahawk cruise missile on the kitchen table if you gave him the parts, but, he also could tell a mean knock-knock joke.... and cussed at the football game on TV in plain English, like everyone else.... the idea that "Smart" people only use "smart" words is a Hollywoodism, which is why Bob tries so hard to emulate it. He thinks that's how the world works because he doesn't believe his Holy Grail of media would LIE to him.

Even a genius level intellect wouldn't ask for "refrigerated pasteurized bovine lactations" at the breakfast table, they'd say "hey, pass the milk, would ya?" like everyone else..... because getting your point across as clearly and quickly as possible is the whole POINT of language.

and if they're employed outside of academia, anyone in a technical job needs to be able to communicate effectively, i.e. be able to produce reasonably concise reports that summarise your recent work and are more than just a load of windy bollocks
if you can't do that, you'll either go nowhere at all or be promoted to middle management, depending how big the company is and how well-spoken you are

if he found out the populist-left leader of the political opposition in Britbongland has vocally criticised vaccine passports as un-British, he'd legitimately shit a brick

What I love pointing out is that vaccine passports are such a shit idea that Jeremy Corbyn, Keir Starmer and Iain Duncan Smith can all agree that they're a bad thing.

Nope, he couldn't even tell the difference between Skyrim and Dark Souls. And then when he was called out of that stupidity, he insisted that it was okay because he'd only done three paid game reviews in the past. So I guess we're supposed to ignore (at the time) 100 episodes of Game Overthinker, plus all those Big Picture videos, a series which began with him commenting on Halo by saying it was racist.
