What's it with British people and weird hats?
Please don't blame us for those people.
I find his criticisms to be the laziest stuff.
How is Deus Ex?... Jim: "it's alright"
Wow, thanks Jim. Real insight you gave there.
Is this a serious post

Both Jim Sterling and Yahtzee are the kind of guys who think saying words like cockwomble and jizztrumpet are the funniest things ever.
It seems to gain traction on the internet for some reason.
And what's with that outfit? Is it supposed to look like the Gestapo?

It's either that or the other option.
See, I never really liked Patrick so him becoming a Youtuber was a natural fit.I'll have you know that the instant Patrick left Giant Bomb and joined YouTube, I immediately realized how terrible he was and all his past work was declared to have no value whatsoever.

God you know what would be so funny is if there was a guy who reviewed games who was like really theatrically angry all the time. Could you even imagine?

Jim Sterling's pretty good, Yahtzee's a very intelligent and perceptive critic buried under piles of gimmick.
I think Jim's consumer advocacy videos and thinkpieces are incredibly valuable and far too rare in this industry, but his critiques and actual opinions on games do incredibly little for me- not in a Brad-style "I fundamentally disagree with this person, but his critique offers an interesting perspective to me", but in a "I don't really get any value out of this guy's opinion" kind of way.
Yahtzee's incision and critique is buried much too deep under his constant full-throated cynicism to be as effective as it can be. Few out there are remotely as good as tearing something apart that really needs it, but that's totally blunted by him treating every single game that he reviews in the same way. Unless he radically altered his style, he'd be utterly insufferable in an ongoing podcast.

Heart & Slash reminded me that CubeWorld was a thing. decided to check in on that only to find it hasn't been updated since 2013. early access is neat you guys!
Is this a serious post
Not really. But he does it a lot and it annoys me every time.
Why make a post if you aren't going to bother saying anything?
I actually find him to be a pretty good writer. And the things that bother me about him really bother me about a lot of youtuber sorts (i.e. Jim, Yahtzee, Angry Joe). I just don't have a lot of tolerance for people who get up in arms about every piece of drama. Or people who seem to think they are hilarious, and simply aren't.

I had ships follow me into atmosphere and keep attacking me. I even landed and got out of my ship and when I got back in they started attacking me again.
I stand corrected!

I have no idea what Yahtzee does because I haven't seen anything hes done in years. To be honest I thought the escapist died years ago.
And I'm not sure if the distinction is really that important anyways. He makes videos for the express purpose of putting them online, and they all end up on youtube.
Is patrick really a youtuber then? Or is he a twitch streamer who uploads stuff to youtube?
Or to be a youtuber does it have to be your own personal channel?
Is that the only income you have is from youtube?
I'm to old to know what people mean when they say it

The only YouTubers I keep up with is Giant Bomb. His Quick Looks are pretty good.
It's pretty cool to think that one person can come up with so many distinct personas, let alone integrate them into the video convincingly.

I'd say its the part I underlined (maybe not the only income but the main income). Yahtzee in the same place as Dan. Works for a website writing and talking about video game and that website also puts it on YouTube. They both have their own youtube channel which is basically Q&A with fans while playing games.
I think people associate the word YouTuber often with low quality from a production standpoint.

Speaking of Youtube, I usually watch this guy. He doesn't make videos often but when he does I always find him to be informative and well spoken. For my film needs I watch Zaranyzerak(I buy a ton of blurays so impressions/reviews/comparisons are always nice) and RLM for my general movie reviews. That's about it for me when it comes to Youtube.
In other news though, Rorie's stream so far has been going great.
e: How could I forget DOUBLE TOASTED as well.

He's doing his movie reviews for geek.com now in addition to still doing editorials on his own channel, he seems to be doing okay. His patreon is doing alright too.
Geek.com picked him up, so yes? I do fear that he has kind of fallen into the more "angry" side of reviewing as of late.Has Moviebob been doing well since he left the escapist?
