>Never devolves into sketchshit
his literal show is sketchshit
>or drama
clearly you haven't watched Lets Drown Out
>Invented Slenderman
Literally what?
Sketchshit isn't making jokes, it having "hilarious" autistic pretend fistfights with a friend in costume of the game you reviewed.
And bickering with your friend occasionally isn't what I'd call drama, compare that with what shit other ecelebs get up to.
He isn't exactly funny despite him constantly acting as some sort of a comedy expert in his Let's Drown Out videos.
All his reviews consist of nothing but sex allegories. Got tired of that shit ages ago.
it becomes very clear to me that he never actually plays the games he reviews when its a game that ive played also
the point might be "OH BUT HES A CRITIC HES NOT SUPPOSED TO LIKE IT" but he fuckng acts like hes some sort of respectable reviewer and people take his opinion seriously
He litterally only invented cancer.
Good on him?
>invented slenderman
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
It took me like three videos to get tired of his shtick and he doesn't have much insight or any substance to any of his reviews.
He's not funny at all, but I think he's a decent guy.
Also I doubt he created slenderman. His games were sort of decent but he said himself he took the design from somewhere else, maybe a shooter.
In any case he's alright, I don't think his zero punctuation is that good but the let's play videos are the only ones I watch, and they're all usually relaxing. He's much better speaking slow than speaking fast.
>shits and snarks on everything nonstop
Sounds great if you're a teenager I guess.
He usually doesn't even know about the games he shits on
He said magic was weak in fable for Christ's sake
He's the alpha of all the betas
He is Sup Forums as a person.
>Bar closed
>Book deal dried up
>Everything he tried outside of ZP (game damage) failed horribly
He's an arrogant cunt but still shy and autistic irl. He makes half decent videos and he's not an obese neckbeard though so he's still better than most that """work""" in that industry.
>The alpha male of internet critics
Yes, with an ego to match.
I do like his stuff though.
uh
it was
no he didn't you goddamn retard
watch the review again
he literally says all you need is 1 spell and you instawin any fight
At least he's not Jim Sterling. You gotta give him credit for that.
It's true, all you needed was that big damage AoE spell. Just stand, spam it and kill everything without any danger.
He's not Anthony Burch either.
Yeah. He doesn't pander to fagwaffles.
Big time
bar?
did he put too much stock in the "gamer bandwagon"?
at this point the whole about "gamers" seems manufactured like it was supposed to open up new markets to exploit or something
one of the few relevant game critics out there. I digg him
His bar was run like horseshit and smelt even worse.
The joke worn off a good a 6 year ago but he still better then most Internet personalities.
He doesn't see a fucking penny from lets drown out. It's just a hobby he has with his friend and they've argued like 3 times in over 100 videos. Go back to Keemstar fucking pleb.
The reviews are unreliable and biased but I find them entertaining,glad he's stayed so consistent after so long
>Australian
just another shit posting drunk
but by god does he throw a good barr bee
He's a britbong
Don't give a shit about his opinions but he's amusing. Better than most personalities, though I can't say I go out of my way to watch him.
The only good Britbong is Nerdcubed. They should collaborate on a project.
>Nerdcubed
>Good
Pick one
I thought Slenderman came from YTMND and got more popular on /x/
He may have never beaten a souls game but his videos are comfy. I also like TheRadBrad
Him and some other nerds opened a shitty bar in Australia where you played video games in there. There were mixed drinks named after game terms like "mana potion" and"elixir". It fell through after a year or two. He tried a shitty tv pilot before that that was so shitty even G4 wouldn't touch it, and for the past decade or so he's tried to break through as an author but has hadn't any notable success. He also makes point and click adventure games and not one of them has taken off either.
Croshaw hasn't moved on from ZP because otherwise he's not very successful. He also unironically wore a fedora with long greasy hair for years, complete with the same pale malnourished appearance and scrawny build that so many of these people have.
Basically, if you actually consider Croshaw "alpha", you're so low on the totem pole that you can't be helped. He also used to brag about not being a virgin despite being in his late 20s to his fans.
someone sure is still butthurt about BRexit
>caring about an autistic manchild when this alpha overshadows him in literally everything
He's even made a series of p&c games with an intertwined story. They're pretty cool too.

are you retarded?

>ytmnd
it was SA
>OP firmly believes this is the reach of an alpha male.
I watch him only because he is the only video game critic left who actually criticizes.
This.
He constantly references it in his recent videos. Can't believe how asspained one person can be.
Because he's the only one who actually enjoys playing video games as a hobby compared to others who do it for money.
Isn't he in Australia? If he didn't fly back to Britain to vote Remain then he can't say shit.
Him and Jim Sterling are the only ones I bother to listen to anymore
He said there was an overpowered bullshit spell that murdered everything around him and he didn't need to look at anything else.
Which is 100% true.
>it becomes very clear to me that he never actually plays the games he reviews when its a game that ive played also
I'm going to go ahead and say that's nonsense.
He's very hit or miss, sometimes he makes good points, sometimes he'll say dumb shit, like complaining about first person platforming being hard, hey retard you're supposed to know where you're at by prediction since your moving speed is constant.
I'm not even mad about his jokes. Its just the shitty redditor that sit there saying
>"hurr durr eating le popcorn for brexiter salt"
and then get assmad when you say they havent made any relevant points at all.
> Snarky British internet critic
Yahtzee's repeatedly mentioned Charlie Brooker as his inspiration for this.
youtube.com
Well done for discussion bait though, OP. Now go suck a dick.
His drown outs were the best thing to listen to while wandering aimlessly through assassin's creed IV to get away from the madness I would hear from one of my marxist teachers
yahtzee is not far from your teachers
>complains about gender diversity in one video
>makes tons of asspained comments about brexit
Yeah, thunderf00t was also pretty salty about brexit. Doesn't mean shit.
Also I heard him several times shitting on PC culture and such.
Didn't he die from cancer or someshit?
Yahtzee is pretty based, go listen to his appearance in Retsucast.
>marxist teachers
Cringe
When he started going on about white privilege before it became popular, I dumped him and never looked back.
Plus he's fucking garbage at video games. He couldn't even get by the dogs after the first boss in Demon's Souls.
>I would hear from one of my marxist teachers
do you go to communist school or something?
No, it's just a product of how fucked our country is
The Art of Theft was a pretty good game.
I can't believe all the children here who enjoy "ridiculous crude analogy to describe minor personal issues with vidya" autist
>invented Slenderman
Slenderman was invented on SomethingAwful you retard
As opposed to being invented by something awful like Zero Punctuation
...
>white privelege isnt real
He's a little bit shit at video games, but I think he's okay.
>Book deal dried up
>BusterFromArthurtInternetLies.jpeg
Hes writing another one, faggot
Not just content to be casual he expects game developers to cater to him in this regard constantly, and refuses to actually put effort into playing the games he reviews. There's no reason to take his opinion seriously.
I watch his videos for entertainment. They're not hugely funny but I find them kind of interesting.
i just feel sorry that he has to live here in aus with our internet
hope he at least moved somewhere with NBN, but i doubt it
Do you mean Asian privilege?
>> Keep producing the same quality of work weekly for 8 years
You're mentally damaged
>> Never devolves into sketchshit or drama
Sure, it's not like he threw a majestic hissy fit after his incredibly retarded MHTri video, and then made a video about what people had been mailing him.
You can do it by post you pleb.
I like him, but I'm not a fan. He's a good time killer.
It's obvious he's pretty mediocre in terms of playing games and he's admitted to quitting a couple of times if the situation became too difficult and he probably couldn't finish the game for the next weekly deadline.
I don't take his reviews seriously, because I feel that someone can never be sure whether or not they will enjoy a game until they themselves play it or it's proven fact the game in question is unplayable because of errors and bugs.
Jim can be an annoying cunt but i love his podcasts and would kill to have a beer with him
Ugh. Just imagine Jim Sterling, half drunk, struggling to breathe while eating nachos.
Disgusting.
Its hard to imagine someone doing the same weekly formula for 6+ years and it not getting stale
>>clearly you haven't watched Lets Drown Out
were he gets drunk and shittalks every single thing
never watch it
In one of his horror adventure games he included a similar character called the tall man, either before slenderman was invented or before it got popular. He mentions it in his ego review for Trilby's Notes.
You would kill to hang out with an annoying cunt who is also a cuck and a know it all?
You're a fucking faggot.
B-but it's 2016 man, you gotta let someone else fuck your wife on a regular basis
It's the cool thing to do
>it becomes very clear to me that he never actually plays the games he reviews when its a game that ive played also
Monster hunter fans are still butthurt
>uhhh it's a joke review guys!! XD it's not because i am bad at games and don't know anything about them !!!
One or two videos and you already know what type of retards he is.
>yahtzee thread
>no one's posted this
youtube.com
I understand he's a fat cuck. But we have the same sense of humor. I think he's hilarious. And at least you could have a conversation with him. He's a sensible guy who will listen unlike other e celeb trash
A lot of teachers are borderline Marxist in their teaching
I took a class over colonial america for my history degree.
It was nothing but whites killed Indians and we had slaves.
Nothing else.
My focus is antiquity and there's only 3 classes over Europe alone and 1 over ancient period.
While there's several over women history
US vs X. Nazis and imperialism
>He's a sensible guy who will listen unlike other e celeb trash
Jim, please leave
>fedora
It's a trilby
My teacher hated the US and Catholicism with a passion.
He went on and on about Russians being superior to everyone else and how Islam was truly a religion of peace, too. But he claimed he was an atheist. Pfft.
Slenderman was originally from /x/ from fucking years ago.
people dont know the diference
You realize friends tend to bicker on trivial shit right? They even mention this in Sims 3.
Oh wait, you have not seen a single video nor have you experienced any social contact besides stammering at the neighbor next door.
Sterling is left wing, 'please take all of my political freedom in exchange for letting me fuck whatever I want', socially destructive, self absorbed, waste of time.
Not an Anerican, are you? Only place that you can really hope to find uncorrupted schools and colleges are the South.
can't remember when any of his jokes actually made me laugh out loud. every 3 episodes he'll get a chuckle out of me.
>Keep producing the same quality of work for 8 years
you realize that's not always a good thing right? in this case it means his mediocre quality hasn't gone up or down. his sense of humour also hasn't changed at all which means he'll never get new fans which means escapist fanbase numbers will stagnate.
>Not just content to be casual he expects game developers to cater to him in this regard constantly
Isn't that like, 99% of Sup Forums?
I was the one that posted about a marxist teacher, I'm yuropean. It's close to be just as fucked here.
