is anyone else here excited for dream daddy?

[catpun]

i'm mostly in it for the aspect of creating my own dadsona, to be totally honest, but i also want to see said dadsona find love in this cruel world.

[archdeco]

Considering the age range of the typical game grumps viewer I have to wonder how explicit they get.

[catpun]

that's a good point!  hopefully not too explicit; i think their goal is to be funny and wholesome.

[Dragonair]

Have they changed their tune in recent years?  From what I recall it used to be a grab bag whether any given episode would be 1) about current events, 2) relevant to the gameplay, or 3) a detailed discussion of how they honed their masturbatory techniques in adolescence.

[lftenjamin]

Gonna wait for the reviews to find out how gay it really is.

It probably doesn't have anything too explicit, but that's to be expected.

[Jordan]

I dream about my daddy most nights.

Don't forget the screaming, the laughing at nothing and the sadly-not-exaggerated anger.

[Tiniphen]

What I want to know is... Starbomb 3?

[archdeco]

Oh Tinister....I have something to tell you. Those songs are really bad. Except the castlevania one.

[Tiniphen]

Well, the second one at least.

[catpun]

what do you think your dadsona would wear to a barbecue tho

[~*~Zelda1~*~]

What video game youtubes do you think are better?

[dunkinbean]

What video game youtubes do you think are better?

none of them. every youtube videogame "personality" is objectively terrible. hth

[archdeco]

Depends how you want to define "personality". Dunkey, Ross Scott and Mark Brown are good.

none of them.

[Tiniphen]

Well I mean what about--

[~*~Zelda1~*~]

I've seen a few videos where people just play a game and don't talk. Those are the best. I used to watch Markiplier, now he is just full of himself and super annoying. Game Grumps isn't quite annoying me enough yet, but it's getting close.

[Tiniphen]

There's only one streamer personality I can really stomach (boogie2988) and he doesn't even play games really well.

I can get so tilted on how entitled some of these people can get about wanting a salary from showcasing games they didn't design, on a video-distribution platform they didn't build, via advertising contracts they didn't negotiate.

[dunkinbean]

mark perrier is a dipshit who defended pewdiepie for posting a video where he "joked" about exterminating the jews. the ppl in game grumps haven't defended antisemitism yet that im aware of tho ive heard them on the record having some less than great takes on stuff. also their piece where they played the manos game during the mst3k kickstarter marathon was so fucking bad, i almost skullfucked a moose

[archdeco]

I think Ross and co have to put up with Arin because he's the headliner but they'd be a lot better off without him.

I definitely get that. Their fans are so rabid and creepy though... very weird.

[catpun]

yyyeah youtubers are the worst tbh but more importantly why hasn't anyone shown me their dadsona

[loller]

Dunky is GOAT

[catpun]

anyway here's my dadsona

[Jordan]

imo we should make the distinction between Let's Players (who just play games and talk over it) and dunkey (who uploads well-edited comedy videos which mainly feature video game footage).

[archdeco]

I wouldn't even call someone like Pewdiepie a lets player, I think that's more for the academics that actually analyze the games they play.

[BANHAMMERED!]

i can't fathom watching someone play a game. pewdiepie seems half-retarded to me. let's all bow at the alter of brittany venti instead.

[archdeco]

Do you remember when you were a kid and you got maybe three shitty 30 minute games a year to play

[Jordan]

My mother was as shoplifter, I had a lot of games.

[BANHAMMERED!]

i am a shoplifter, i have all the games.

[catpun]

show me your dadsonas you cowards

[dunkinbean]

What video game youtubes do you think are better?

none of them. every youtube videogame "personality" is objectively terrible. hth

Well I mean what about--

nope. even the cool, "funny" ones you think are different actually arent

[~*~Zelda1~*~]

I have found two I like: MrKravin and CJUgames. Theyplay and talk a little, but it's not annoying. MrKravin also kind of points out annoying game bullshit.

[BANHAMMERED!]

no

[LTTP2]

Necro-ing this thread. Halfcoordinated and Tagg are pretty cool. Speedrunners, too. But anyone else that tries to skate by on their stand-up routine is probably a POS.

[~*~Zelda1~*~]

I watched a speed run of Darkest Dungeon the other day. That was fun.
