Jeff...you didn't use any health for the Ninja Gaiden demo..

Oh well.

That was a fun demo derby.

I like Playstation Underground the best but I actually remember some of these Xbox demo disc fondly.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

it's hard to compete with Playstation Underground but the first DD with Jeff was an Xbox demo disc joint and it was pretty outstanding

 

[Hasney]

What's your excuse to accept EZA?

The ability to watch and enjoy 9 people without having to bitch about certain people or coasts.

 

[Liquid Shake]

I don't think we'll ever get anything as wild as OPM 85.

 

[Hasney]

They should do some Amiga disks if they can. Some of the demos on there were weird as shit.

 

[xuchu]

Man, watching Jeff play the Ninja Gaiden 04 demo was bit rough. The camera always sucked in the original version, which was corrected in Black not Sigma, but I was going a bit crazy when he couldn't get up the cliff in the beginning. Not roll jumping everywhere and the constant misinformation about things like ninja gaiden 2 being the latest one was triggering me a bit.

It's just a bit weird when GB plays a game you know intimately well. Guess I'm glad I haven't played yakuza 0 cos maybe this is how people feel when they see Dan fight and wrestle with the controls. BitE is bit more fun to me to see them goofily play than being experts at and I guess I should have the same attitude to them playing ninja gaiden.

Ah, it's okay though, enjoyed the demo derby and liked seeing the subtle differences between the demo and 2004 release.

BALLERS!

 

[Data West]

Also how can you not name one Hoobastank song?

The Reason used to be on MTV every, not kidding, every third video. Every third video on MTV was The Reason.

pretty easy to remember that song but forget it was Hoobastank

 

[pizzacat]

again its better to literally delete the 00s

 

[Data West]

the ot title should probably be renamed to BALLERS

 

[Piston Hyundai]

again its better to literally delete the 00s

but then you'd never be born

 

[pizzacat]

but then you'd never be born

I'd take that L for the world tbh

 

[Dangansona]

Oh man we have people born in the 2000's in this thread?

How you gonna make a 23 year old feel old?

 

[supermetfreud]

My Dead Cells run never stood a chance against the comedic force of nature that is Jeremiah.

 

[Meguro]

This hot new Youtube video on games writing is some ´06 gamefaqs level shit. Just had to get that out there.

Demo Derby was pretty fun. Sonic Heroes looks even worse than I remember it.

 

[Ashby]

Ben didn't know what controller he was holding in this Demo Derby

 

[ShaggsMagoo]

I used to think that a ban on using accents should have been put on Dan after his annoying voice during the Mario Maker streams. After the Beastcast and Demo Derby, that ban should now be expanded to everybody.

 

[Scizzy]

This shouldn't apply to Jeff and Vinny's Mario accent needs to be grandfathered in.

 

[The Technomancer]

Oh man this Sony Jackbox thing looks rough

I mean, making these games is hard, that's why every Jackbox has like 1-2 winners out of 5 games, but even still...

 

[kiguel182]

The new Demo Derby is cool but doesn't touch the old ones. It's still cool altought I wouldn't mind the East doing one too.

 

[Catvoca]

YouTubers trying to talk about traditional games journalism is almost always some embarrassing shit.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

The new Demo Derby is cool but doesn't touch the old ones. It's still cool altought I wouldn't mind the East doing one too.

I don't understand why they don't let them

Dan has more claim to the feature than anybody on the West does

 

[derFeef]

The new Demo Derby is cool but doesn't touch the old ones. It's still cool altought I wouldn't mind the East doing one too.

Nah that would not work as well. West is much more knowledgeable I feel.

 

[Ashby]

Nah that would not work as well. West is much more knowledgeable I feel.

You mean Jeff.

 

[LurkerPrime]

Old game coverage practically requires Jeff. He's just that good at it.

o7 Jeff

 

[kiguel182]

I don't understand why they don't let them

Dan has more claim to the feature than anybody on the West does

Yeah, he started it after all.

Nah that would not work as well. West is much more knowledgeable I feel.

Jeff is more knowledgeable but their reactions to it would be awesome. The riffing over some of these videos would be funny.

 

[derFeef]

I said it before I think, but I would love tosee their faces in some of those features. DD especially, maybe even quicklooks.

 

[robotrock]

Nah that would not work as well. West is much more knowledgeable I feel.

Alex knows early 2000 shit just as well

He contradicts himself several times in that video, which as I said in the thread is really just overall mean spirited. Feels like some real Fake News shit too.

This has been a rough year for YouTubers.

 

[kiguel182]

Yeah, I wouldn't mind a split with their faces in most videos.

 

[LurkerPrime]

I said it before I think, but I would love tosee their faces in some of those features. DD especially, maybe even quicklooks.

I think they reserve that for Premium-tier stuff, and not so much the free features? Aside from free live shows, I can't think of anything with duder cams.

 

[MassiveNights]

They could just do Demo Derby cross coast with Jeff AND Dan, shocking idea I know.

 

[robotrock]

Demo Derby separate coasts, but twice as often. So we'd get a Demo Derby from East in 75 days, then 75 days after that we get one from West

 

[BreezyLimbo]

The new Demo Derby is cool but doesn't touch the old ones. It's still cool altought I wouldn't mind the East doing one too.

Yeah

I feel East would just do better.

Althought GBW probably wants to keep it because otherwise their premium content becomes...UPF only.

 

[Death Metalist]

Oh man we have people born in the 2000's in this thread?

o7 Jeff

Yup, I loved DD even more when Jeff joined because he could always share interesting stories and experiences when it comes to a certain moment and time that concerns said game. I can't imagine DD without him, honestly.

 

[kiguel182]

I really wish they were all in the same coast. Oh well.

Four Sudeki previews!

 

[DanLongman]

After you guys talking about it I watched that YouTuber talk game criticism was so much hot garbage.


Also my daughter was born the early 00s.

 

[kiguel182]

Skipping most YouTubers "hot takes" is usually the way to go.

Skipping most hot takes also works.

 

[derFeef]

I kinda wish which video you all are talking about but also I don't...

 

[Karspankey]

I kinda wish which video you all are talking about but also I don't...

it's a video by videogamedunkey

Usually makes some pretty alright, humorous, videos. Recently, he's decided that he is an excellent games critic and made a video sort of bashing game critics in general

 

[oti]

I love how some Youtubers believe they actually know anything about the business itself and how they give companies free business advice. The bad thing is their followers even believe their nonsense.

Face-palm thumbnail WHY IS NINTENDO SO DUMB?!?!

 

[Data West]

This hot new Youtube video on games writing is some ´06 gamefaqs level shit. Just had to get that out there.

Demo Derby was pretty fun. Sonic Heroes looks even worse than I remember it.

Like his buddy HatesMinoritiesTron, the court jester is easily exposed as soon as he tries to do something other than making people laugh. He sounds completely out of his element. The video reads like a 14 year old gamergater wrote it and was reread over by a grown ass man. It even has the classic 'THEY CONTRADICT THEMSELVES!' hivemind theory while using voice samples of different people with different genders and different accents saying different things about different games in different genres.

His reviews are legitimately bad, he's awful at expression what he thinks and talks in circles and also uses the 'feels like' comment he tries to criticize in multiple reviews of his. Every time I've heard one of his reviews I have no idea what he's saying about the game other than 'it's bad' or 'it's good' but i dont know why he thinks that. He's worse than Jason about explaining himself but he's trying to criticize others now which makes it even more funny.

Even someone like TotalBiscuit, who has shitty views, is someone I might listen to on the subject because he can explain himself and explain why he likes something and does his research. Where as that dunkey video was basically a gamefaqs post.

oh and he says he engages in the comments to justify his bad reviews. IGN and Kotaku both engage in their comment section. I've seen it multiple times. I'm just going to assume every youtuber is a soft GGer going forth

 

[BreezyLimbo]

It's more of a video bashing the inconsistencies of reviews by the big sites and how they tend to only utilize 7-10 instead of the full scale.

 

[MassiveNights]

i mean video game criticism is kind of the worst, that's why jeff started giant bomb, i haven't seen the video

Oh, one of those 4 million views per video guys... nothanks.

why are you reading the comments of IGN reviews

 

[Hellsing321]

If he made the video back in 08 and just now got around to posting it I might understand.

 

[Data West]

Why else would I read IGN reviews?

 

[BreezyLimbo]

If he made the video back in 08 and just now got around to posting it I might understand.

I would reckon to say that reviewers only still mainly utilize 7-10.
