[PATV] Monday, July 23, 2012 - CheckPoint Season 2, Ep. 12: Gamer Marketing
That gamer mode on the laptop does strangely remind me of a boob.
Also as a ESDF Player it is bad enough having to remap every game but yet another keybord that is lighting up/replacing the wrong keys.
Also for Checkpoint Gamer Mode it would be even better if you added the Transforming sound from Transformers and a high pitched electric guitar riff man!
If they removed the animations, lights, and general stupidity from the "gamer mode" and instead replaced it with a program that turned off as many background programs as possible, and overclocked your hardware while increasing fan speed. Then it'd still be meh
Using the female form to lure in us repressed geek-nerds is all well and good, but the developers of gamer-mode never stopped to think of how being forced to look at Graham's ideal, impossible physique would give us gamers feelings of inferiority.
WSAD is overrated anyway. Make the switch to EDSF. You will thank me.
Edit: Looks like WolvenSpectre beat me to the punch.
There's no good reason to leave the home row, as it makes in-game chat that much easier, while simultaneously adding four extra bindable keys to your arsenal.
Re: WASD vs ESDF ... I go one step further with RDFG, gives me all of zasxqw easily reachable with my little finger. Worked great for SWtOR and GW2 so far.
Oh, and FWIW, whatever stopped me playing the video two weeks ago on Chrome under Linux has been cleared up, I can even play the Asassin's wotsit video now.
If there was a boob museum, I think Kathleen's should be part of an exhibit. (When she's done with them, of course.)
Also, LRR: you totally set yourselves up for this, no complaining!
Well, I am both married, and not a sort to be a particularly high-in-demand singleton, so the best solace I can offer is that these other single desirables are apparently all boneheads.

Okay, I'm going to take a moment to sincerely address this.
Nobody is objecting to liking boobs. Go ahead, like boobs. From a biological standpoint, you probably don't have much of a choice in the matter anyway.
The problem is that this video isn't about boobs. Well, part of it sort of is... I guess that's not the right phrasing. The intent of the video isn't to show you boobs. LRR didn't set out to satisfy your desire to see boobs when they made this video. That's not the reason this video exists. This video exists because LRR set out to make something funny. And not just something funny, something funny in a specific way. Something that takes the peculiarities of the news show format and the video game industry, and leverages them into a professional, polished end result that you can't get anywhere else. That's where their efforts went. To researching the subjects they were addressing, writing the material, honing their delivery, recording, editing, and fitting it all together into one coherent whole. Hours of work, from several people, guided by years of experience.
And you see boobs. The one thing you apparently see fit to comment on is Kathleen's boobs. Kathleen's boobs are, apparently, more worthy of comment than anything anyone involved in this show actually worked on. The other people involved in making this video don't matter. Even Kathleen only matters insofar as she has boobs on the front part of her. The work she and everyone else did only matter to the extent that it caused boobs to show up on your monitor.
To the rest of us, it makes you look like a cretin. You see, we watched the video, too, but we saw a lot of things more worthy of comment than boobs. We saw the effort that went into every stage of production, because it comes out in the end result, in the jokes and the polish and the erudition of the commentary. We're aware that Kathleen's boobs aren't the most remarkable (as in worthy of remark) aspect of the video, and so we're left with no conclusion other than that you are unable to appreciate anything beyond what the reptilian centers of your brain tell you.
tl;dr:
No one cares that you like boobs.
Commenting on boobs adds nothing to the conversation.
Commenting on the boobs makes you look like a cretin.
Commenting on the boobs downplays all the work done by everyone involved in the production of the show.
you're = you are
your = belonging to you
their = belonging to them
there = not here
they're = they are
yeah ! actually this video isn't about boobs.I guess that's not the right phrasing. This video isn't to show you boobs. LRR didn't set out to satisfy your desire to see boobs when they made this video. That's not the reason this video existent ofts. its makes something funny.

Also, I like this coming out at 2:30am, fun to watch before bed

Betcha they also only anti-ghost the WASD keys on that thing, too. So fucking irritating.
Yay silly hats!
It's a thing that has a screen on it, and Samsung is making it
So it's gonna be great
It's blatant misandry is what it is.

*hangs head in shame*
I just need a keyboard that adminsters electric shocks for hitting a non game key three times in a row.
Everytime I switch from League to a shooter my hand takes forever to adjust back to WASD or QWER.
