It seems that his petition has slowed down considerably, i expected that by now we would be past 400k but i feel like this month had like 10/20k signs only.

Face it, unless you are a mega billionaire (maybe a trillionaire); you aren't going to dent these companies.

YOU DO NOT MATTER!

Ah, it'd be fucking glorious though to be a trillionaire buying these IPs and setting shit straight by those who love the games and the original content creators (NO FUCKING WOKE). There's a fucking lot of talent out there and ideas for retro old through QOL restructuring. With that type of money relying sone on sales and maybe donations (i mean you won't be a trillionaire too long paying every fucking bill on all ips you can snag) maybe gaming could again go through something great and not sink to mediocre shit.

Meh! You can't solve this by petitions. Your wallet maybe.

Okay, that's a novel idea for a game, and it works well with Ross' style of commentary. Shame about that awful pseudo retro pixel look even if it's one of the better renditions I've seen.

Yuppie Psycho sounded interesting, but I'm surprised Ross didn't tear into it more for playing into all the sins of "run away from the monsters" brand of survival horror. Everything the game could do wrong, it did, and that's even discounting the awful change in the story near the end. I'd say the arbitrary hiding out of sight by effectively magic would make for some subtle commentary, but that's giving the game a bit too much credit considering how much it whiffs its satire anyway.

Okay video, but it felt like one of these phoned in Ross episodes. It lacked the Ross conspiracy ramblings about whatever.

I think was too long for what it was as well. I think he should have cut it down and covered more of G2 and G3.
Hell, maybe even give archolos a 15 minute section.

Not sure if he's had interesting history with the series except for that beginning bit he mentions with G1.
His best ones is where he has had interesting history with them in the past.

It's still amusing how his singlemindedness makes him overlook obvious things. Also, are crashes and freezes on modern hardware really frequent enough to be so noticeable?
Not sure what version he was playing, but last year I played through gothic 1 vanilla again and didn't have any of the bugs he was mentioning. No dead stare dialogue, or it bugging out in weird ways like that.
