Demand breeds supply.
If you want a piece of this pie make one yourself.
Otherwise ignore it.

Wait until you take college courses.

You can get by with doing surprisingly little if the judge or judges are idiots.

but its so baffling how these fucking videos have taken the gaming side of youtube by storm. The people who create these videos are spineless jews who fear straying from the path. Ill use Rainbow 6 Siege (what ever you think about the game just ignore that part for a section as an example when that gane launched these people called it "bland,microtransation trash,no single player,its a dead game" however suddenly its hottest shit around and these very same youtubbers are praising the game saying they loved it since day 1

There are some good ones, but most of them are bandwagoning retards who don't really have anything to say. Actually good shit like MatthewMatosis and Instig8iveJournalism will always be fewer in number than garbage like GameTheory, Extra Credits, and their ilk, because the later are extremely intellectually lazy, and are designed to farm clicks and push narratives, rather than actually examine elements of game design on any meaningful level.

Kids want it, kids watch it and youtube put commercials on it that you don't see because of adblock.
What do you not understand?
If there was no audience for it, it wouldn't have been made.
Now I don't know who started it, as I don't watch this shit, but maybe do a research, find who is to blame and murder them.

It's part of the video essay plague that's been brought on by people trying to copycat MatthewMatosis and Every Frame a Painting, where everyone uses the same formula to make themselves and their audience to feel smarter than they really are. In reality what these people are producing isn't intelligent video essays but the next evolution of the "guy rambles about current events over random gameplay" that was all the rage a few years ago. It's just more scripted now.

Who could have suspected


Matthew is probably the other unhealthy end of the spectrum. I think he's been working on that Devil Daggers review for like eight months.

This sort of video essay format got really popular on Holla Forums around 2011-2013, particularly with people like Instig8ive, Matosis, Vaati, ActionPts, and a few others who I'm not remembering at the moment. Egoraptor was also on Holla Forums around that time, and began using that format, either by coincidence, or as a direct result, and released the first two Sequelitis videos. They were very well-received, and accepted even on Holla Forums. The Mega Man X one was nearly perfectly correct, with the only major flaw in it being that his central argument is limited in scope. However, Egoraptor is an animator/comedian/entertainer first, and went for that angle for his tone and presentation. He made it funny enough and simple enough to be accessible to the more retarded members of his fanbase, who would be scared away by any in-depth discussion of mechanics. This includes people like MatPat.

tl;dr, I'm pretty sure the answer is Egoraptor, but I don't think it was intentional.

The only long in-depth reviewer I've watched is joseph anderson. People are just looking for alternatives to gaming review sites I think, since their credibility has taken huge hits finally

He's the worst one. DaS is a good game without the fucking stupid plot theories that are fucking everywhere now.

Sometimes you have someone that made a shit game that also brings up an brutally incorrect opinion about what makes a "hi-bit" game. The aspect ratio and determine the term based on specifications of only consoles.

he pretty much just narrated peoples posts from dark souls threads and tossed in some video clips. he even used the green text story pacing.

Matthewmatosis is still my guy
others need not apply

Just a shame it takes him a year per video nowadays.

Yeah
Would've thought living off Patreon would actually speed up the process, not the other way around
Can't wait for him to talk about Soulstorm once it's out

They are all the same shit, and you'll find that even people on Holla Forums these days eat this shit up. It's as you say: most of the time they've no real opinion and are just parroting points, but the worst is despite how little research they do, they always present their theory and conjecture as facts.

I really don't know how anyone can stomach watching this kind of trash, you have to be a really special kind of lonely to listen to a guy take 30 minutes to say something that can be summed up in a few sentences and still get everything wrong.

This board is dying, it gets closer to cuckhan week by week.

As someone who makes Analysis videos You are right but honestly "analysis" for most people means to spout your feelings on the matter.

I will say that things are getting worse, but this has as much to do with vidya as any other "journalism" thread

This is a thread about video essays on video games. There's literally nothing wrong with that.

post your vid

Let's see 'em then, faggot. I need another good channel in this vein to watch, as most of the good ones are either completely dead or update about once a year.

You may be right. He probably gets some of the blame for the explosion too, since he was the one who got the plot theory genre going strong, thanks in no small part to DaS's popularity, which was also largely Holla Forums's doing. I suppose, to some extent, much of Holla Forums is indirectly to blame for this too, similar to the rise of Minecraft.

Sure, but only in Webm form so people don't think I am shilling for views/clicks and because I think other people should know how Hirez ruined what could have been the best FPS of the decade.

I started posting here since October 2014, no Eceleb threads was already a rule by then.

I wonder how was the culture here before cuckchan flooded in due to the GG exodus.
I wonder if this board has at least a tiny bit of influence or veteran users from those pre September days.

holy fuck go away.

But that was half the Tribes Ascent community

Sure you have.

see
I'm still new at it. I wish Gather Your Party wasn't dead. I miss those guys and wish I could have joined them.

and?

Oh hi Charlie. Go back to playing DMC.

I remember a while ago we had a nice thread where we talked about how we would do analysis videos. In the end, I think my style is more weird insanity disguised as analysis if the first two scripts I've gotten mostly done are any indication. I think the only actual analysis I'll be doing is in my movie length Uncommon Time video. Of course, I don't think I can possibly beat the fucking 7 hour long "An Exaustive Loot at Pokemon Omega Ruby". I still promise to only shill my first video and said movie, I'm doing this because I'm a crazy person, not to make money. Do you think Youtube would let me use cropped porn as thumbnails?

People unironically use Shadman's "art" as thumbnails, so you'd probably be fine.

you need some buckshot to your cerebellum.

I kind of didn't want to but it is basically required since it was important for the history of the game. I even asked a few people in a thread a month ago if I should mention it and everyone mentioned how the history wouldn't really be complete without mentioning where all of the players came from.

Good to know


It's a fucking meme you dip. If you wanted to come to my house and shoot me I wouldn't mind.

meant for

I miss Crazybus and /cyber/
Thats all I'll say, shit, I'll even miss Rob


And they were even more than the core fanbase which Hirez pissed off pretty much killing the game, which considering the subject of the video, is to be mentioned as factoid for the viewer to understand the analysis.

it's a gundam

It gives them a way to make money off their liberal sharts degrees while also destroying culture and beauty for zog.

I'll be honest, I only skimmed the video, so the reddit and 4chan part is applicable. But still the memes are inexcusable.


let's make a suicide pact user.

You're alone in that regard.

No way man, I plan on living forever. I just know that's an unrealistic goal so I don't mind dying for any reason.

I'm going to post my video flowchart of madness because last time I got some good(?) reactions. I need a fucking name for the Crystal Chronicles video, though.

Well what's it about?

(checked)
I liked them despite being disgusted by the blatant Nintentoddler behaviour in some threads.
Plenty of OC was made as well

I have yet to understand why the reason for the shitposting outside newfags/goons.
Fucking thing was no worse than 4am/lol/Gachashit threads.

You're acting as if the people who complained - rightfully - about ROB threads didn't also complain about 4am/lol/gachashit/waifushit threads. Mark's treachery knows no bounds.

I didn't know you were a regular here. Big fan of your channel.
I wrote a long, autistic article for them in 2013 but they said it wasn't appropriate for first-time material. I was disappointed at the time but it was pretty awful so I think they saved me some embarrassment in the long run.


It was a good one. I archived it since it had a lot of good information.
archive.fo/OCac1

Yes. They don't care at all. I got away with worse in some of my videos. All that matters is if the people who watch your video decide to report it and most will not.

You know what I miss the most though?
No fucking limits on dubs

If you only knew how many people get scratch protection for their game disks.

Heiled.

I actually like lol threads though, plenty of OC also made there with some really nice discussions popping up sporadically
If you had the chance would you rather turn him into soap or a lampshade?

Why don't you consider ROB's "show" to be a valid form of OC? Sage for off topic.

That's also the problem. I know I want to talk about it because I really like the game, but I have no fucking idea why. I know the music is great but I don't know shit about music and only recently found out the soundtrack was made with mostly extinct medieval instruments. I already have a video planned about how I have no friends and am a giant loser (the Pokemon Platinum one), so I can't talk about that in relation to the multiplayer. Maybe I can talk about how I'm depressed the rest of the series is kinda shit or at least nothing like the first game. Maybe I need to play it again to remind me of what I even liked about it and why it's so important to me.


That's the one. I like reading old threads from time to time, I wish our archive wasn't fucking retarded. It is still working, right?


Nice unlimited dubs.

Ignoring the egregious double standard of allowing ROB threads because ROB is friends with Mark while disallowing other attention whoring, you must not have played Splatoon. ROB was a regular in those threads and an unabashed Nintendo apologist. I think the height of my interaction with him was getting into an argument that spanned three threads where he tried to bully us into getting a Switch for Splatoon 2 and all the amiibos we could buy.

Pics somewhat related. He told us at least half a dozen times he was "really ready to play, you guys" and pussied out every time. Fuck him and fuck his threads.

Me too. They've become really comfy as of late, but still haven't lost too much of their original purpose.

don't fucking remind me.

Ahah, no
Hasn't worked since the beginning of the year and Chodemonkey has yet to fix this site so Drybones can unfuck the archive.

Considering I have such a small number of subs I didn't think it was likely anyone would recognize it.
Before I make a video I generally make a thread about the subject here to get opinions. If you browse here often you could literally see which posts are mine because I pretty much just say what I will say in a video in my posts.
I feel this way about most of my non recent content. I think you basically have to keep making shit and each time the shit smells a bit less bad.

Didn't Drybones fuck off to endchan?

It's avatarfagging. Avatarfagging has been a bannable offense for as long as western imageboards were a thing.

Why is this muh old fag hug box now can you fags not discuss anything

I see where you're coming from, but I disagree, as the "avatar" is a character used to tell stories, and used at no other time. It's no different from a puppet show. If he was using ROB images to identify himself when it wasn't relevant, it'd be an avatar.
Absolutely bull-fucking-shit. Avatarfagging was a plague on halfchan's /a/, Holla Forums, Holla Forums, and /jp/, for years before anything was done about it.

Yeah, no. There used to be a lot more identityposting on chans. trips have practically vanished but used to be quite common.

This is every youtuber ever who does critical analysis. I've only ever seen two youtubers that actually research their subjects, and one of them is such an autist that his videos are boring because he has no fucking charisma, which is a shame because his content is amazing.

You have to remember that 90% of the population is dumb as shit. You can sell yourself as a purveyor of the arts by pointing out basic shit like, "Red is symbolic of danger, this is so deep" because people don't know better.
