Pushing Up Roses Semi-Official Circlejerk

[Maxie]

Pushing Up Roses is the sweetest girl you've ever seen on YouTube, wasting her life with recording long-ish and informative videos mainly on adventure games, along with reviews, analyses, and retrospectives

Her channel is here:
https://www.youtube.com/user/pushinguproses

To gauge whether you'll be any interested in her views on adventure games, have a look-see at her Top 11 (consciously free of LucasArts and Sierra productions coz everyone and their mum played them):

11. Black Dahlia
10. Toonstruck
9. Eric the Unready
8. The Last Express
7. Return of the Phantom
6. Titanic: Adventure out of Time
5. Beavis & Butthead in Virtual Stupidity
4. Clock Tower
3. Discworld
2. Callahan's Crosstime Saloon
1. Sanitarium

Spoiler

She's a bit of a weeb and has way too many tattoos to be considered legally sane but whatever girl knows her shit

Spoiler

kinda cute too

Best adventure games channel on youtube.

 

[taxalot]

You should see her in the morning.

These are the only types of video worth a damn in the endless flood of Vlogs and Let's Plays brought forth by the ominous Youtube algorithm that has casually wiped out entire genres & formats with a sweep of its robotic claw as surely as this sentence needed a comma. Roses is very knowledgeable in the point & click adventure genre, and I always considered the word 'sassy' to be a meaningless generic term until I started watching her channel.

The list is a bizarre mishmash of truly great (Callahan's, Eric, Last Express), truly awful (Harvester in the runnerups) and "so meh I don't understand what they're doing on any list" (Titanic, B&B). It's also weird because she includes Eric, which means IF is ok, but then never mentions any Infocom game. I think the most interesting thing about the list is that it's pretty eclectic, which is cool I guess.

 

[Tom Selleck]

still would unless she also got dickoplasty and is a mtf

even then still would, i guess EVEN IF SHE DOES SEVERELY OVERRATE CLOCK TOWER (THAT SHIT AIN'T GOOD)

i'm very lonely

 

[taxalot]

You guys are only into her because she's a girl and she plays video games you like.

You are desperate, pieces of trash, with low self-esteem.

The best girls do not even play video games.

 

[Tom Selleck]

and fat

This is the only intelligent thing cuxalot has ever or will ever say in his entire life.

 

[newtmonkey]

She's alright. Her jokes fall flat, but she covers a good range of adventures, including classics and some obscure stuff. She's also got some great content together with LGR (their playthrough of Detective Barbie game was entertaining mostly cuz of her, with LGR playing a supporting role). She's one of the best on youtube when it comes to covering classic adventure games.

Eric is a graphical IF though, with a pretty advanced interface.

She's not even that funny you cucks.

 

[Alienman]

Trap?

 

[JarlFrank]

She's not even that funny you cucks.

She's knowledgable about adventure games though, which is why I watch her show.

Too bad she'll be shifting her focus more towards movies and TV shows though. Guess she ran out of adventure games to cover, it's not exactly a genre with infinite supply.

 

[taxalot]

I guess you'll all be back to watching regular porn.

 

[Boleskine]

PUR mentions in this Q&A (mainly at the end) that the audience or demand for retro gaming content on youtube has declined in recent years, so it's onto retro television.



Should we rebrand this thread into a general "random adventure game related youtube videos" that don't fit into news or specific game threads?

 

[grimace]

Should we rebrand this thread

No, changing thread titles makes it harder to return to the thread.

 

[Viata]

that the audience or demand for retro gaming content on youtube has declined in recent years, so it's onto retro television

Just like any attention whore. Only does this because she wants cucks watching her.

 

[taxalot]

She doesn't like you. She just wants the money you can bring her. Like any human being.
