Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.

The kind of people who refer to themselves as "gamers" all the time tend to do inflict far more damage on themselves than any outside force ever could. And seemingly being represented by the likes of pewpewdie and Fatal1ty is significantly more damning than any shitstorm Jack Thompson ever tried to stir up.
The stuff people do in the gaming community is usually localized and rarely escapes it. What outside forces do stay there and encompass the media sometimes if the shitstorm gets rolling. Hard to say what's more damaging, but I'd venture to say the latter considering that's headline bait material and ticker scrolling bait.

I blame it mostly on Spongebob Squarepants. That's when cartoons died and when Youtube was becoming popular.

Its might be a good show (especially compared to the garbage I've seen now days. What happen to Doug and Angry Beavers? Or Bill Nye The Science Guy?) but it's what started this downward dive to stupidity where we have crap for Kids shows.

It is literally "lawl randum" and it is the worst.
and regular show, and phineus and ferb and young justice(well that did exist). we could go on but there's a western animation thread over in D&D for that.
I'm not familiar with pewdiepie, why does everyone hate him?
you'd have to searching through the early pages of the thread, but there was a video posted of him and people's reactions to him. its... its not pretty. not by any means.
Not all the kids shows today are crap. I find myself watching Kick Buttowski more than I'd like to admit. Never got into Adventure Time because I'm lost as to who is who but it doesn't look too bad.
That would be this one.
I'm sorry.

Like my happiness died and I want Samurai Jack back!
I get a lot of enjoyment from Game Grumps and Giant Bomb and Two Best Friends, what I've seen of Yogscast and Continue stuff has been alright.

If this rerelease was going to be on the PS3 and 360 as well sure, but it's PS4 and XB1 specifically for the graphical updates.
**edit** video blocked already. It was a montage of some of the more awkward moments.
You poor bastards who actually watched this thing.

Do you think rape jokes and screaming like a child are the height of comedy? If so, you just might have a career as a Youtube superstar.
Trick question: if you didn't yourself watch it, how do you know it was utter garbage
I'm going to guess he read some of the posts in this thread that make that very point.
At least it had the trainwreck mentality behind it, which is way more than past VGAs could claim
The Nintendo segment was painful to watch in the best way
I glanced at it when I heard it was on. I managed around 10 minutes.
So there you have it.
One can hope.
Speaking of which, just a few opinions about the shit show itself (the horribleness of it all really stuck with me):
I understand why a company would want to hire a popular, witty celebrity as a co-host. But they would have been better served letting McHale use his improvisational talent in smaller bites. They should have had him out by the stage, quickly bantering with who had just finished their segments as a sort of followup. He could have worked off of what was just shown and discussed, and his intros and outros still could have been written jokes. Those guys screaming about cheese or whatever would have never been a part of the show.
The actual co-host should have been someone else recognizable from the industry. There are plenty of people to choose from. They could have gone with a pretty face like Belmont or Hardwick, someone who tends to be a more insightful observer (Gertsmann would be ideal but I doubt he would have done it even for top dollar), or just gone the easy route and just hired Adam Sessler.
Its always the titanic falls that we weren't expecting or hyped about that hurt us the most.

I can't even bother with him anymore after he shat all over TLoU. Goes against his love of HL2 and Silent Hill 2 in almost every way.
What?
Man I can't wait for them to show up at my house with a rebooted table.
