TB released his arbitrary video game awards video, which is quite a lenghty stuff, but interesting. And as the title suggests, PoE is the best crowdfunded game for him this year.

Most striking aesthetic: Bloodborne
Worst company: Konami (what a surprise FucKonami)

I guess it is time to switch to bread rolls then. Or maybe focaccia?

The "real" video game awards shows are longer and at least this is watchable.

 

[Night Goat]

Why would someone with that little time left to live waste any of it playing PoE?

TWO fucking hours long???? Who watches that?

You put it on as background noise. After all, it's just gameplay footage running.

 

[pippin]

What's the tl;dw version?

Bloke certainly does like sound o his own voice, ought to write a script and get to point if you ask me, too much waffle. Keeps on mentioning how he enjoys short games an all an can't get into long ones cos o his busy grown up lifestyle, yet he's always fucking about wi that Hearthstone shit for hours at a time. Still better than most game awards, though his taste int exactly monocled is it?

He likes PoE, you can't be more monocled than that.

I'm glad to see Pillars of Eternity is picking up awards. It deserves them.

The Witcher 3 had a better story, and better quests, but Pillars was definitely the best 'mainstream' RPG of this year in terms of systems (I'm not forgetting AoD).

 

[Kjaska]

He shat on Fallout 4, saying it's not really an RPG and didn't deserve the universal acclaim it got at launch.

RIP Total Biscuit.

Why wouldn't he? He has an audience of millions. What else does he have to do? Most dying people just end up doing what they love, anyway.

 

[Excidium II]

????

What has DICE LA actually done?

 

[Blowhard]

I don't even have the willpower to play two hours of this trash, let alone watch some youtube oldguard hack whose main claim to fame is a strong British accent bloviate on them

Biscuit was part of the downfall of the AAA industry birthing the generation of shitty YouTube/Twitch personalities acting as the barometer of what 'the public' wants. In the end they are little more than marketing tools paid for by the gullible customers who donate/like/subscribe/comment/whatever. All the major publishers are thankful they have to pay that much less for marketing.

He rode WoW's popularity to the top and then shit on it when he had enough of a following. I certainly won't miss him.

Stop ragging on TB, he has terminal cancer.

 

[Metro]

Doesn't mean he wasn't a blight on gaming.

Take no prisoners, take no shit.

So, you're nonchalant about TB's likely impending death because of your opinions of his work. We can argue about how wrong your opinions are (TB and many other Youtubers explicitly announce when they're paid off), or we can focus on exactly how you sound right now, which I don't need to spell out for you.

Even if I loved this guy I wouldn't watch this, 2h, seriously? Some of the best films in history don't have this length. I'd even use the word arrogance to classify this, it's what you really need (and large doses of it while we're at it) to think that people will sit down and listen to your opinions for such amount of time.

Envy is one of my most favorite sins.
