"Maybe I should just go watch Ghost In The Shell?"
Maybe you SHOULD...Damn it, Austin, you fucked up by not replying to him.

Wasn't planning on it, I've been too busy with holiday stuff to notice how close we were to 400. If someone wants to volunteer that would be great, otherwise I can throw something together tonight.
In hindsight it was a bad title.
What are you talking about? It's a great title. The mods didn't even have to intervene to change it!

I've retroactively come around to something Reduced Fat related. It felt wrong in the moment!
You made the right choice.

Everything's always reduced fat on some level.
Goddamnit stump.
If you really want to commit, you should read the books first. That said, I skipped the first two games and went right to Witcher 3. It's pretty good.
Witcher 3 has plenty of GOTYs this year already. It doesn't need one from a bunch of guys who barely played it.
I agree. I think it's a great title. Real pathos.
Unless anyone disagrees, I'll go ahead and take it. I have some free time now. If this thread runs down to fast, it might be a ghetto OT for a couple hours.

I point to my post a couple weeks ago:
Congratulations, Patrick is officially a YouTuber. Wahoo! Welcome to the family.

I've been curious to know his his end goal is with this streaming stuff. Is he looking to become a full-time streamer? I realize he's been streaming independently since at least his time at Giant Bomb, but he didn't have the Twitch subscriber stuff previously.
I think it's cute.
When he was talking about becoming a Twitch partner to begin with, he didn't seem super hot on the subscriber stuff. He mainly just wanted the quality setting so people on bad connections can watch too. He got into doing subscriber stuff when people in the audience pushed him to let them give him money.
Seems like he sees it as just a small bonus right now to help justify him putting time into doing the Twitch stuff. Doubt he's looking to stream fun time.
Go for it.

We needed a new faction at the Pax Rumble now that Team GFB seems to have disintegrated.
The #ScoopsSquad seems about right.

He needs a overly complex and flashy intro video before he can be called a "real" youtuber.
I haven't watched him a couple weeks, but I watched the archive of this morning's stream and it didn't seem bad at all. Maybe I just watch too much twitch, but he still isn't nearly as bad as most of the streamers I've seen.

I didn't see you there! I was jacking off into oblivion waiting for the red light of salvation to command me to game for the computer gods again.

I don't actually recommend watching this video but I accidentally stumbled across it today (related video) and I think it has the worst example of "pro youtuber theme song" I've seen to date

GOTS, as an anime, is what, one really good movie, an okay TV series, and then a bunch of turdnime?
He should just watch the movie with the boobies, that's the only good one and that's in spite of the needless boobies

Youtube has gotten real weird. How did we get to this point?
Stand Alone Complex is pretty incredible IMO and does a good job of exploring some cool ideas the movie never gets to. It has some filler episodes, but even those are pretty good on average. The original movie is a classic, of course, and the manga it's based on is good too.
GitS 2 is weird in a way that doesn't really work and Arise has been mediocre from what I've heard. Not garbage tier, but not really worth watching either.

I can't be the only one intensely creeped out by vloggers.
It's like documenting your life to the umpteenth degree, and it's all public. Seeing vloggers get into relationships and then break up and having to explain the break up to millions of subscribers and aaaah like that's way too much to share.

I hope so. He did that weird experimenting with headlines thing months before he left for Kotaku though.

That was just him auditioning for Kotaku, right? That change always struck me as really weird, and doubly so when he announced where he was going post-GB.
I used to watch a couple of vloggers called nick lachey and jessica simpson on a show called newlyweds: nick and jessica
one time jessica said she loved the scent of this candle she bought, only to discover upon further inspection that it was in fact unscented
another time she spent a lot of money on some egyptian cotton sheets and nick got real mad

That's mostly why I'm curious about the streaming stuff. It seems like a strange move for him. No matter what he does, I'll enjoy his work.

Patrick isn't really a cut above most other games journalists. Who can name a notable bit of journalism he's done? People like Schreier or however it is spelled do some excellent work over at Kotaku, but he really doesn't. Despite his scoops nickname he doesn't deliver any hot scoops. It makes sense that post-GB he'd utilise some of the livestream skills he's accumulated, but honestly the shoe doesn't fit that great. He's in a weird place, imo.
That sounds harsher than I meant it to be, because he is a nice guy and I enjoy his Mario mornings and a good amount of his GB content. It would be great to see him over at GBeast.
FUCK NICK

Not really much of a scoop, but this is a great article he did recently.
Didn't he break the Infinity Ward thing and the Xbox One DRM removal?
The Xbox DRM removal. But some tech site published it a little earlier. It shut down the site, though.

He broke the infinity ward story no?
