It really is. I've found they also get really angry if you make a joke that's clever or insightful in any way.

The only Pewdiepie video worth submitting is the one where the Retsupurae people call him out on being shit.

0:38 is all I lasted to

I tried, it seemed to be mostly him screeching "I'M BEING RAPED" while playing one a' them video games. The new low hanging fruit, trying to become a Youtube-famous person.

Caminante, that's the only Pewdiepie video I've ever seen. It was enough.

I don't know why I replied to this

I made it through but it was really hard.

I always wondered that about the let's play games. A lot of us can remeber how fucking bored out of our skull we were, going to a friend's house, and having to watch them play something like Final Fantasy __ for 20 minutes+ until they got to a save point. I find it hard to believe people actually seek out the experience.

>Beyond the jokes, why would anyone want to watch someone else play a video game?

Because Shinya Arino (the Kachou) is awesome.

Counterpoint: these guys.

Because Robbaz.

I used to hang out with some comp sci guys whose ideas of fun included:

- Spending an entire Friday night programming a couple of April Fools jokes into someone's copy of Nethack.

- Watching one person play Demon Souls all night.

- The absolute low point: watching one person GRIND their way through Final Fantasy 3 and 10. This was in 2010. Watching someone else grind through an rpg video game that everyone had already beaten 17 years ago.


So yes there are people like this and yes they are terrible. The worst part was they had copies of Mario Kart and Smash Brothers right there but they thought getting 4 dudes together to watch a 5th dude play an old Final Fantasy game was a better time.

I'll also add that the latest E3 hijinks and "reveals" has me turning slowly bitter towards the "gaming community" of late. Maybe I'm getting old but all of it is turning into more and more of a sham carnival ride of pointlessness.

That's not exactly something to brag about.

Exactly.

Nintendo is the Apple of videogames.

These people strike me as playing more games with nothing but guns in front of them than anything else, you don't learn humor like that playing games where you eat mushrooms to get big.

Brand loyalty is a pretty sad trait in general, unless it's some tiny company that actually deserves and benefits from your support.

What's the difference?

only idiots think there is "gamer humor", is the key difference comes to mind

that was my point, dum dum

no, your point is that you believe gamer humor is a real thing, as if it's some subculture that actually exists. this is what makes you dumb.

I was going to say that these are kids and that their humor might develop over the years,

but then I saw theamazingatheist's reply to the new Sarkeesian video.

kill all gamers.

kill yourselves first

Anyone who unironically uses the term "jam" to describe improvising in ANY medium is almost guaranteed to be horrible at improvising. Music, comedy, whatever. They're probably going to be wanking. Experience has reconfirmed his for me time and time again for the the past 22 or 23 years, with virtually no exceptions.
