Oh man. If you want to see good example for what Jeff&Gang were talking about when they talked about the whole Bethesda/"Influencer" thing, you should watch this video. I think that's the dude the briefly mentioned (after Kessler)?

Since it's rather old it might have been posted here already? Haven't seen it though

You can literally hear him struggling to re-word Bethesda's talking points while also sounding natural.

But don't worry, it's okay because "they're not critics".

I just checked what other videos this guy makes and it's 99% Bethesda stuff. No joke. There are like 8000 videos about different Fallout 4 weapons.
 
I wish I could be a famous YouTuber. It must be great to get paid to get games early, gush about them, then get extra money with ad revenue.

I can't be mad about it, they're living the goddamn dream.

"I don't know what they've done here but it's quite easy to just stand and watch them silkily caress the distant white peaks"

"I found that the snow felt softer to look at somehow"

Man, if Jeff wrote reviews like this I bet they would have gotten a preview copy of Skyrim Legendary Special Remaster Edition. Get on it Gerstmann. I need that preview coverage.

I'd do almost everything bathroom related except poop in my shower if my girlfriend didn't find it disgusting.

it's pretty evenly split between people who think monsanto is the devil incarnate and people who think it's a company making a profit like many of the gmo companies out there. the only difference being that people actually know the name monsanto.

I'm all for GMOs but it's a company that has patents on things that could save millions of lives, now and in the future.

Fuck 'em.

Rip out your
conscience
and live the dream. At the same time though, don't be a critic pls.
 
It's kinda hard to feel like they're being too misleading when it's that obvious.

If you're that oblivious to the fact they're not impartial, then you're probably sold by the marketing campaigns long before you watch these videos.

But yes, I'll sell my soul for the right price, regardless!

It's never too late to start. Just follow your dreams and maybe YOU can be the one attacking people for giving Bethesda games low scores while wearing their merchandise at some point. Shoot for the stars!

What do you mean? Golden Rice? That's going to be donated, or have exchange programs.

The Farming Simulator is cringy as fuck. Not knowing between fertilized and unfertilized eggs, "sprinkly bread"

. CRISPR/Cas 9 is going to make modifications so much easier and quicker.
Right now it's really expensive and takes a lot of field testing.

That Farm Simulator quick look is Dan at his 'I intentionally ask dumb questions in the moment as my gimmick rather than looking it up because I really don't actually care' worst.

I mean. It's probably like being a famous App. You could be Pewdiepie or it could all be gone in an instant. Then you have none of the safety nets that game journalists get like connections or job history. If you reported at a major website, that looks good. If you had a popular youtube for 6 months, that means nothing.

Is it really though? They're living the dream from the perspective of a homeless person who isn't clever enough to pan handle. Shamelessly doing bullshit for hours on end with no job security is not a dream.
 
Has anyone in here kept up on Battlefront? See the relaunched ultimate is in a few weeks and I haven't played any of the shouldve-been-in-the-base-game-cough-cough DLC.

Can understand if not, but, I liked my first 20 hours but haven't played anything since. Kinda want to try the stuff like the Death Star.

OK I bought Titanfall 2 TF2

If I hate it because I get mercilessly slaughtered over and over again in multiplayer (very likely scenario) I'm suing Brett Gerstmann and all of you

Obviously I mean one of the successful ones who make enough money to never worry about money again.

They're living the dream from the perspective of someone who sits at a desk for 40 hours a week.

It's a shame this game didn't come out in January. I want a QL that descends into Vinny frantically explaining the DBZ history while Dan gets confused and scared, responding the only way he knows how by comparing it all to wrestling angles.

no worries, i'm sure there will be a Xenoverse 3 QL for Dan

The line between wrestling and DBZ is thin enough that this would work astonishingly well.

After they mentioned it on the bombcast I noticed there were doritos in the vending machine at work with Titanfall 2 codes on them. I am currently now eating doritos. What have I become?

You've become the monster you always fought against.

Hmm, I should check my machines. I don't even own the game (yet) and don't really like doritos.
