/vr/ - Retro Games

He's great.

My favorite Youtuber.

Watching his first videos is so horrible now. He got so much better with time,

I love you all

he's god awful
lazy yelling=funny humor
terrible editing (zooms in on fucking everything, zany misspellings, clips of his faggot bird or of him using a wacky voice, etc.)

>>1195487
Either total asshole or trollpost
Most likely asshole
Fuck you

He's pretty cool but I can get a headache watchin some, yes i'm a middle aged lady

So insightful and totally bearable, I swear.

>>1195506
A middle aged lady on 4chan. That is just odd. But no problems with it.

He's all right. He has enough uniqueness that it's entertaining to watch.
Sometimes he loses his point though, and it feels like rambling about...nothing specific. Focusing more intensely on the good and the bad of the game would do him good. Incidentally that's something I think AVGN's been pretty good at typically.

Don't like his content, therefore I don't watch any of it.

take this youtube cancer shit back to /v/.

He's fat and annoying
http://youtu.be/ahFdNB2X7H8?t=4m5s
some of the stupidest shit I have ever seen. I miss the first week of /vr/ before the underage emulator plebs when shit like jontron was instantly deleted.

He is my lord and saviour, and the only reason I watched GG.

>>1195536
Was he actually handling a game like that
Please tell me that was a blank CD-R

>>1195542
nah that's the game I'm sure it's scratched to shit and unplayable anyway you think that fat slob took care of his things? I don't really care that he is doing it with a rare game even if it was a CDR it would still not be funny. You have to be brain damaged to watch that guy.

>>1195536
Those were the days...
If you don't like Jon, then don't watch his stuff.
This kiddo just wants to see our reactions, of course we will react negatively.

>>1195542
>did what I saw in a video of fiction actually happen?
Oh yeah, and he totally played that 360 version of Final Fantasy XIII on his PS3.

His "loud annoying fat guy who talks funny" act doesn't do anything for me.

You're all real asshats.

>>1195438
Had no thought until I saw your post. Pic convinced me to have no further thoughts.

>>1195506

>>1195438
He is really bad and unfunny.

There's something very endearing about him. He's like a kid who just wants to impress you. He may fuck things up, but in the end you can't hold it against him. I want to ruffle his hair, and tell him bed time stories.

All of this and then some. He is the kind of cancer pewdiepie is. There is no talent or genuine comedy here. Just fat and loud and bad at everything and far too many people with more teeth than braincells seem to find that entertaining these days.

itt retards who think jon is fat and yells a lot

JonTron is for gaylords.

Jontron is pretty entertaining, but not exactly /vr/ material

I'd say he's more relevant to /v/

I actually find his videos very good.

He's got a very smooth editing style, his complaints with games are grounded in reason, (unlike Egoraptor, who blames "bad design" whenever he can't figure something out in a game) his reactions, while over the top, are also funny most of the time, and the live-action skits are interesting.

I think this whole thing is more based in a reviewing style preference. Most of you guys prefer more laid back reviewers, rather than the more active ones you find annoying.
Personally, I find Dendy Chronicles can put me to sleep.

>>1196001
>He's the kind of cancer pewdiepie is
confirmed for never having watched jontron

I was surprised I liked JonTron as much I did. I still watch Nightshade every now and then for some good laughs.

This doesn't belong on this board. Go back to /v/.

>>1196001
>All of this and then some. He is the kind of cancer pewdiepie is.
Yeah okay anon.

Not as good as peanut butter gamer.

>>1196087
>Stop having an opinion I don't like!

>>1195438
Game Grumps is watchable now this neckbeard has gone.

Ecelebs aren't video game or retro related.

>>>/v/

>>1196001
>He is the kind of cancer pewdiepie is

This

>>1196213
Dan is not funny.
I don't hate him or anything, I just think he's not funny. Or maybe it's that he's too similar to Egoraptor. Jon and Ego were at least two different people. Sometimes Danny goes on a tangent and after a while I think Egoraptor is talking.

>I think that he does great reviews
Nah dude, as reviews his videos are pretty terrible.

They're just mindless entertainment, and even then I have to be in the right mood for them, and I'm not often in the mood.
When I am though, it's the funniest shit.

>>1196194
dont even pull the "its my opinion!!1" card cause you expressed your view like a total asshole and called everyone who disagreed with you stupid.

>>1196213
lol a neckbeard got replaced by an arrogant kike how is that better

>>1196416
Sorry, I'm not even the same poster that you originally quoted.
I do agree with him though, I don't know why you retards idolize fat idiots on youtube who play video games.
p.s. Your a stupid (Because this statement hurts you so much, eat a dick nigga)

>>1196427
>Stop having an opinion I don't like!

wait he's not even fat though, last time i checked he doesnt even weigh 200 pounds. :l

I think meta threads like this one are what ruin otherwise good boards.

>>1196435

Just report threads like this, don't bother commenting on them. The janitor here is doing an excellent job.

I'd rather watch the Kacho play games than watch a bunch of screaming white apes play nintendo games

I watched a couple of his videos thinking I'll find something redeeming about him other than him being embarrassingly unfunny neckbeard.

>>1196435

If this is a meta thread, then so are game center threads.

I don't say this out of disrespect for those, because I like GCCX

He's great. Enjoyed his recent video about Goosebups

itt neckbeards projecting

>>1196009
you mad underage emulator kiddie?

>>1196175
they're equally fucking gay. I wish all the fucking underage would leave /vr/ when did this place become such a haven for emulator pleb le retro kiddies

>bitching about emulators for no reason

yeah itt neckbeards projecting for sure

>>1196558
the reason is you underage jontron fagets havent seen a retro game in physical form in your entire pathetic existance. The only reason you come here is to piss us oldfags off with this stupid bullshit.

I like his happy theme intro. Where can I find more music like that?

>mfw 30-somethings who bitch about emulators
Stay jaded plebs

>>1196572
oh no he maybe used an emulator once for a game review what a literal hitler

>>1196581
My only problem with emulation is you shithead jontron fans "DURRR THE SEGA GENESIS SUCKS BECAUSE JONTRON SAID SO"

>>1195438
HURRR
DURRR
ALL LP'S NOWADAYS SUCK.

I MISS THE GOOD OL DAYS IN SOMETHINGAWFUL

I've never played a retro game in my life just roms that I saw on game grumps xD

>>1196592
i didnt know he said that, nobody here is saying that and i dont agree with him anyway

>>1196592
What? When did he say that? That doesn't even have to do with what I said.

>>1196596
thats not even inherently a bad thing seriously what are you fags on about

The only thing that matters about a game is the game itself, not your disposable middle-school-saturday-morning-with-grandmas-cookies sentimental trash.
>muh physical copies, you gotta touch the aging plastic or else you're not allowed to enjoy it!

>>1196613
>muh geek culture
>muh sense of belonging
>muh retro community

The faggots who watch jontron are the type of "gamur nerds" that play CoD all day then play retro on their emulators to feel superior to their underage counterparts.

I'm pretty sure this is a viral thread. The amount of samefagging is enormous.

>>1196619
>muh non-existent argument strawman bullshit

The only reason people on /vr/ like him is because they're the same age/brand of retard that grew up watching family guy and other stupid random humor bullshit. Week 1 all fagtron threads were instantly baleeted

>>1196619
>steering the arguement off course

Your memories and expierence != The true exprience of playing a game

>>1196630
Yeah you gotta watch a retard scream at the top of his lungs to get the full experience

>>1196638
no yeah thats literally a jontron review good argument dude

>>1196627
the post above this one still applies

So is it okay to talk about vapid YT e-celebs on /vr/ now?

>>1196638
I'm talking about emulators jackass.
My argument is: Playing games on an emulator provides a just as valid expierence as playing the physical game, regardless of the sentiment the physical game carries.

I think his videos are well done, there's presentable quality to them and his voice is fun to listen to. He can get a little loud sometimes and some of his jokes leans a little too close to reddit-ish.

Overall, I really like him

I really thought /vr/ was better than /v/ for a moment there

>>1196710
I agree with this. It seems like he has a lot of fun with his videos, and I find that kind of endearing.

>>1196656

These discussions have been on /vr/ since week 1.

>>1196721
no they didn't they usually got deleted right away actually

>>1196839
why? jontron reviews for the most part retro games. he's relevant regardless of how you feel about him.

>>1196839

Then why have I seen several AVGN threads since this board started? And the civil youtube thread that's still here?

>>1196890
Actually he's not, I don't care if you guys like jontron but this isn't the place to be discussing him. Has anyone been talking about retro games in this thread? He just doesn't belong here I'm sure there is a subreddit where you can discuss fatso without causing any drama.

>>1195564
>DOS game
>CD-ROM
>talking about 360/PS3
>????

fat piece of annoying shit. needs to shave that bloatee off his face.

Video game reviewers that started past 1999 shouldn't be /vr/ related.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRrvCRGh5E0

>>1196904
this just in: /vr/ is literally only for discussing retro games themselves and nothing related (avgn threads dont count cause idk). also jontron sucks cause hes fat xD

So talking about some nerd who just happens to play retro games is ok here? Great, I needed a new blog.

>>1196953
oh my fucking god avgn and youtube threads exist here all the time and nobody gives a shit. so yes, regardless of your retarded jontron bias, he is relevant. and this is about his reviews, most of which include *gasp* retro games. its not like were talking about him as a person.

>>1196960
ITT jontrons 16 year old fans get super defensive.

>>1197014
itt another shitty strawman argument. 10/10 gj

>>1196960
Retro reviwers/Lp

Not retro
>jontron

>>1197043
That's not strawman. Do you just repeat things you see on here without knowing what they mean?

>>1197043
fatron plz go

>>1197053
what do you expect he's a 16 year old jontron fan, they aren't exactly the brightest bunch.

ZOMG THIS GAME IS SO HARD
did u laff JT kid?

>>1197053
uh yes it is. i know youre convinced that youre right but it is a strawman.

>>1197057
yeah jontron totally said that at one point you pwned him xDDD

>>1197059
Explain yourself then. Google it if you need.

>inb4 i dont have to.

>>1197081
"The Straw Man fallacy is committed when a person simply ignores a person's actual position and substitutes a distorted, exaggerated or misrepresented version of that position."
sounds fitting to me

>>1197073
he's always sperging out like a fucking retard over shit, the reason you idiots laugh at him is because he just starts shouting randomly

>>1197093
no he's actually just p funny. yeah he does get obnoxious every once in a while but so do a lot of other game reviewers and it seems only he gets shit on for it. 3/10 not so good

>>1197092
Explain that in the context of this thread because that is totally unapplicable, I'm so fucking sick of you first year collegefags that have to resort to crying fallacy, you were getting defensive if you don't think you were you need to stop being so defensive. JonTron is a fat piece of shit that doesn't belong here, go away.

>>1197093
Even if that were true, why does it bother you so much?

>>1197101
EVERY OTHER REVIEWER GETS SHIT ON BECAUSE THEY ALL ACT LIKE RETARDS. AVGN always gets ripped on people always try to rip mike more even though AVGN made that shitty ass munky cheez so he's no better than his buddy mike. This shit doesn't belong in /vr/ just because a couple of you little underaged faggots want to talk about it.

>>1197106
because that retarded excuse for a counter-argument doesnt deserve an actual refutation. and it is a distortion of a position, just because youre still convince that youre right for some reason doesnt mean its not a strawman. even if i'm stupid and its not a strawman its still not a legitimate counter-argument.

>>1197118
avgn doesnt really act like a retard so no. if anything hes actually bad at acting like a retard especially lately and just comes off as awkward.

>>1197043
>strawman
Ladies and gentlemen, the mentality of Jontron fanboys.

>>1197127
whether or not its a strawman doeesnt mean anything. its still a totally pointless post that adds nothing to the topic or argument.

>>1197101
>it seems only he gets shit on for it.
lol are you serious? Every reviewer gets shit on here.s

Take this YouTube video celeb shit to /v/

Is Jontron a Muslim?

>>1197136
his dad is i think.

Can the cancer please go start a retarded youtube whore general on /vg/?

>>1197130
>rekt
Fucking nailed it

>>1197130
the argument is jontron doesn't belong here, you're only counter argument is YEAH WELL HES REALLY POPULAR SO PEOPLE WANNA TALK ABOUT HIM

>>1197136

I don't know but you're obviously a viral marketer.

Always the same questions...

>Is Jontron a Muslim?
>Is Jontron thin now?
>How old is JonTron?
>Who is Jontron dating?
>Why is JonTron going to jail?
>Is Jontron a Nintendrone?

etc.

>>1197152
yay another simple strawman. i argued that he reviews mostly retro games so he is just as relevant as the other reviewers discussed here. i don't care if you dont like him but dont argue that he isnt allowed here cause the fact that the mods have left this topic up clearly means that youre wrong.

>>1195438
Don't bring this shit to /vr/.

>>1197159
Um... No? I'm just curious because "Jafari" is an unusual surname.

>>1197165
YAY ANOTHER MORON, THEY DON'T BELONG HERE EITHER. Strawman is completely irrelevent, youtube whore's don't belong on here period. Seriously how fucking stupid are you?

>>1197165
I don't think ANY reviewer should be allowed here. I don't care if Jontron is reviewing retro games, I don't know him and I don't watch his videos. What quality discussion comes with these threads?
>I like x's reviews.
>Me too.
>No, he's terrible.
It's the same shit over and over again. Go ahead and pull strawman again.

>>1197179
because a lot of his content is relevant. ugggh i'm sick of arguing about this

>>1197179
If it upsets you that much, why not just report and hide the thread?

>>1197175

Maybe he is, maybe he isn't.. It doesn't have any relevance to retro gaming. You are just asking these questions to keep the topic bumped.

>>1197159
Yes

No he will always be fat, who is the dumbass amerifat who said he wasn't fat on here?

Too young to actually know anything about the 16 bit era he claims to have gamed in when he was really just shitting himself. He's a retarded n64 kid so not that old.

His left hand

For being too gay

YES YES AND YES, FUCK THAT RETARDED ASS NINTENDRONE FAGGOT

>>1197187
No it's not, just go back to reddit already you little faggot. It says discussion of retro games, not discussion of faggets who sometimes play a retro game online for your enjoyment.

>>1197182
its not a strawman though. its fine that you think that way but dont talk so objectively as if the mods are listening to you. just ignore the thread if you hate it so much.

>>1197196
oh god back to the emulator thing. and jesus christ calm down.

>>1197182
Exactly why that shit does not belong.

>>1197203
nice strawman faggot

He's done a few retro videos but generally I wouldn't really say he's /vr/-related.

I do like him a lot, he's charming and funny.

>>1197213
1/10 stop

>>1197218
nobody was talking about emulators though you just strawmanned because you're an overly defensive bitch. That's not a point of argument that's an observation.

>>1197243
oh shit youre right i read that wrong. and you know what, i agree. these kinds of topics dont work here and weve made a really good example with this one. but seriously calm down it really does make you look like a troll.

>>1197190
>Too young to actually know anything about the 16 bit era he claims to have gamed in when he was really just shitting himself. He's a retarded n64 kid

Okay seriously, don't be "that guy."

>>1197282
Listen to him or his gay lover egoraptor talk about Sega, they don't know shit. Their knowledge in games only extends as far as the games in the videos they do. That is why I hate jontron, he puts no effort into research and all his effort into shitty comedy.

>>1196960
I have seen zero discussion about his reviews here.

I like him!

I'm so fucking sick of the entitled attitude of kids online today, "even though it's against the rules we can talk about jontron because a few people like him and he plays retro games xD"

>>1197182
>>1197206
Agreed.

>>1197304
which is why this thread is shit

>>1197304
see>>1195536. someone talking about his reviews. Looks like that shit isn't welcome

>>1197310

I get the feeling you're the same guy that's been shitposting this whole thread.

And really, I find it hilarious that you people aren't talking shit about Game Center threads or anything else. I don't even watch any of the Youtube guys and I'm no where as mad as you are.

>>1197310
its not against the rules. its a bad topic and it might as well should be against the rules but i dont think it has to do with entitlement.

>>1197312
Yes, that is definitely the level of discussion that we need more of here...

>>1197310
>"even though it's against the rules"
against the rules where?

>>1197319
Not him, but as much as I love GCCX, the threads need to go. Those threads are disasters lately with hundreds of deleted posts.

>>1197334

I don't think the threads need to go, but that drama needs to go. I rarely go into the threads, but whatever is going on in there, I doubt there needs to be this much drama over it. I mean, fuck, we're on a retro video game board on 4chan. Aren't we all here to enjoy retro video games? I've seen a ton of drama there and I don't know (or really care, for that matter--whatever it is, *can't* be that serious) why it continues.

DOOM threads seem to have had a bit of an issue there, too, but I think some of that might have been ZDF "raiding" so who knows.

Look, tl;dr--Cut all the fucking drama, everyone. They're just video games.

>>1197330
"This board is for the discussion of classic, or "retro" games. Retro gaming means consoles, computer games, arcade games (including pinball) and any other forms of video games on platforms launched in 1999 and earlier. Sixth generation and later consoles are not considered retro (including the Dreamcast)."

Where does it include fat retards playing games?

>>1197379
thx for contributing your shit to the pile

>>1197381
I'm just stating the rules you retarded asshole

>>1197379
>fat retards playing games
but that's like everyone here.

>>1197386
youre good at this shitting thing

>>1197379
I'm curious, do you have the same anger towards the GCCX threads, or do you just have some kind of vendetta against JonTron specifically? Because "Japanese guy playing games" isn't in the rules either, but those threads have been around consistently since pretty much day 1.

>>1197401
And then Kinaman and AVGN and Classic Game Room...

>>1197401
>Implying these people have any reasonable dislike for JonTron and aren't just hipster faggots

>>1196213
>Game Grumps is watchable now this neckbeard has gone.

Game Grumps still has Egoraptor and Danny is just as bad as Jon was.

It isn't watchable at all.

>>1196613

Emulators are fine to me as long as they're on a modded console or something that I can play on a TV. Don't really like playing on a small computer screen without a controller.

enough with the youtube celeb shit. this thread isnt even about vidya anymore.

>>1197514
thats why the wii is one of my fav consoles cause its really easy to emulate shit on it and the sideways wiimote makes a good wireless nes controller

>>1197514
You can use controllers on PCs, silly

>>1196470
Kacho and Mark from CGR are the only people I can stand to watch when it comes to video games. Everyone else just seems so forced. The infestation of neckbear reviewers/letsplay/xDrandumb youtubers just hurts. I thought I was done seeing this fat fucks face on my screen. Is this /v/? What is happening?

>>1197503
Finding his reviews boring and unfunny is hipster? What do you think a "reasonable" dislike?

>>1197620
he doesn't even do reviews he research extends as far as wikipedia, the rest is just him being a fat ass.

>>1197620
Not him, but I think people who don't find Jontron funny or enjoy his style of videos aren't being "hipsters". That's perfectly fine and understandable, and there are people in this thread who made completely acceptable posts saying that in a calm manner. It's the people in this thread throwing a fit that are the "hipsters". They come across as hating him because he's a popular guy on Youtube, not because they don't like his videos.

I don't understand why some people get so upset that people on the internet like things they don't.

>>1197648
>I don't understand why some people get so upset that people on the internet like things they don't.

On the inverse, I'm not sure why people care so much about what others do like.

>>1197667
those type of people need the validation of others to reaffirm their beliefs

I don't really find yelling funny, no.
