ugh.

Danny and Jason Schreier are going to be on Total Biscuit's podcast. https://twitter.com/Totalbiscuit/statuses/557934441574989824

ugh.

ugh.

I don't really see an issue with it. If TB says something dumb then Jason and Danny can bring it up. TB can be/is an ass but he has done some good stuff and his content can be good, I don't think he's all bad.

 

[mnz]

What's bad about a discussion?

 

[hammertomb]

Do people not like TB?

 

[Archaix]

Nothing's forcing me to listen to it, and I won't be. Don't much care who his guests are.

edit: Oh, it's Jason from Kotaku. There are at least three layers of I don't give a damn about this podcast.

Don't talk about Jason if you don't mean Jason.

It's like people talking about Greg meaning Greg!

I never had much of a problem with him. His coverage of PC games certainly is valuable. The GG stuff made me lose any respect for him though I might have had.

that's disappointing to see from both of them

dude managing to be an even bigger tool than normal during all the gamergate stuff and mostly seeming to totally get away with it is insane.

Do people not like TB?

he's said some tasteless and ignorant things not too long ago during the great GG debate of 2014 and it hasn't sat well with some people, including myself. not that i was ever a big fan of him or any of the youtube personalities that have arisen in the last few years but at least they didn't have poop come out of their mouths.

 

[hammertomb]

I see. I did not follow gamer gate at all.
I like his personality in the videos he does though.

His videos are great. He might have been the first person on Youtube creating professional quality first impression videos, and a lot of his earlier stuff was as good or better than some of Giant Bomb's quick looks at the time.

He's a total jackass any time he speaks his mind though, going back to the Xbox DRM stuff and before with his general snobbery.

 

[Stereogatari]

The sypnosis for the RE HD quicklook is brilliant haha.

 

[bigwinnerx]

TB can get bent.

Danny will hold his feet to the fire though if he tries any bullshit.

 

[MadLaughter]

TB makes good content, but has said some really shitty things, to his fans and about GG. Called individuals in his fanbase 'very small fish' and claimed they don't matter, from what I remember. Dude's kind of just a dick, and tries to justify it.

(There's no justification, since plenty of people do similar work without being pricks)

 

[sjack]

Every time I hear about TB and what he's like and does, the more I'm glad I never bothered with any of his content. I'm also glad that I managed to, for the most part, complete ignore all the GG bullshit.

Sometimes Dan's questionable lifestyle pays off.

 

[Kelas]

I changed my opinion on him when he went on bombin' a long while back, when he came across as a decent dude. Then he started being dumb with gamergate stuff and I went back to ignoring him.

 

[Volotaire]

Has anyone got a summary of TB's GG comments?

 

[FStop7]

Shaking my head at Dan's latest tweets, jeez.

The act is getting a little boring. It was cute for the first few months.

 

[Fjordson]

I've always really enjoyed TotalBicuit's content, dating all the way back to his WoW Radio days.

But that's just going by his YouTube. Heard he's an ass on Twitter (don't have a Twitter) and I don't fully know what the whole GamerGate thing is.

 

[Curufinwe]

This is what put me off TB.

Using the new controls makes the game not resident evil.

I'm having fun with them. I completed it on the GC with Type C controls, but these new ones make for an interesting a new experience.

The one I remember is "You can not say a death threat was serious if the victim is still alive"

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Yikes, that's not good. At least...I hope he said that before his diagnosis.

CVXFreak said the new controls break the game because it's even easier to just avoid enemies. I have no trouble believing that.

Basically he thinks the women receiving death/rape threats shouldn't make such a big deal about it because he's received threats before too. He also seems to hate women... like a lot.

 

[Archaix]

edit: Nevermind, it's not the TB is an ass discussion thread, wasn't necessary. People can look into the way he's acted if they want.

 

[nobodyshero]

Took the plunge on Puyo Puyo Tetris! First time iporting a game, looks too good to pass up. The GB folk mentioned that menu translations were floating around, has anyone seen these?

You're better off not. Just know that it was a mess of horribleness.

This might help.

You know, its entirely possible to criticize someone without just making shit up.

Whaat? Really? That quote is...lmao, damn.

That's a shame. Quite like his channel, but this kinda colors his videos in a weird way.

Someone in that Shawn Elliott thread was seemingly on point saying he's the inverse James Rolfe :lol his YouTube character is a relaxed and seemingly nice guy, but in day to day life he's an asshole.

 

[tchocky]

Is their a thread to post/discuss Patrick's solo youtube content, it seems weird to talk about it here since he's left and I don't think their is a general Kotaku thread. Anyway Spookin With Scoops is back with Wario

 

[nobodyshero]

This might help.

You're a dear! Thanks

Not everyone is a freak about the old RE games, though. I looking to have some fun, not pass a purity test.

 

[mattp]

If only Patrick had stayed a bit longer...

patrick wrote an article on kotaku about how the new controls fix the game
psh

he knows nothing of classic survival horror

 

[Curufinwe]

The RE HD quick look is fine, btw.

[justjim89]

If the tension in a game is completely hindered by having decent controls where your character runs where you tilt the stick, it probably wasn't a very well-designed game anyhow.

I love REmake, but if some folks think it's ruined by actually playing well then that's more indicative of the core game design being flawed.

it was only 18 minutes so not really

he says he used tumblr for a few years, but on the podcast he didn't seem to even know what it was

the intricate web of lies dan has weaved is starting to unravel

you say that like it's hard to imagine Dan using something he doesn't understand

I used it to archive my GI articles, but I didn't know what it was supposed to be in the wider sense.

 

[sjack]

I mean, I'm kind of with him on that it's impossible to care about every single individual in the world, but yeah, he seems like a dick.

 

[LegoArmo]

I agree with TB, to be honest. I don't need my video game personalities to love me.

I find he and Jeff to be very similarly cynical.

 

[AuthenticM]

Tank controls and inventory management are not "antiquated design". And if you want proof that the new controls break the game, look no further than Dan's zombie evasion spin-move at 11:50. Christ.

 

[Curufinwe]

That "breaking" of the game might be enough to get people like Dan to finish it with both characters. Meanwhile people who love the traditional controls can use them, instead.
