Just watched some of his new videos, man guy really has done downhill.

Jokes are pretty weak... I guess he's probably making some good revenue on the videos so he keeps doing it but man.

dont watch it if u dont like it

This was probably his worst video yet. He didn't even make a serious attempt to finish the game.

I guess he's a hostage now of the image he made of himself before.
Wish he continued board series, though.

>> No.4872513

he peaked many years ago, but his recent Earthbound video is imo one of his best (even if it isn't his usual style)

>> No.4872515

he's still more watchable than Doug and his obnoxious skits

>> No.4872516

Dirty Hairy was kinda lame but he's always had weak videos now and then. Earthbound was pretty cool.

>> No.4872519

I find it hard to believe he makes revenue, I imagine his videos get demonetized. Saying "shit" a lot isn't exactly PG-rated.

Pretty sure his main audience is mostly boomers around his age that can relate.

>> No.4872525

He certainly put a lot of effort and thought into it. It actually inspired me to go back and finish Earthbound. I even watched the whole 40 minutes, which is longer than I'll usually watch a review for.

>> No.4872527

>>4872501
He's pretty much outgrown video games and always preferred movies and he's running out of material to make videos with and his interest is diminished.

That was shit - I got like 10 minutes in and i'm like wtf when's it get funny whens he gonna shit on the game? then I look at the time and that video is fucking 40 minutes long.

He played it on a emulator too - playing on the original deal is supposed to be his thing. I mean the least he could have done is bought one of those Chinese carts for $10 and played it on the original hardware.

Boomers are like 1940-1960 dude I think
you mean gen x and Millennials.

He's actually left retro video games more recently and has entered the sixth and even seventh generation of games for review. I guess that since he's been doing this for ten years that it's basically the equivalent of him reviewing N64 games despite them not even being ten years old at the time.

>> No.4872539

>>4872532
lmao oh yeah he used an emulator
for a guy who showcased nwc on his channel he's sure tight on budget motherfucker mikes fault

He's about to be 38 and his hair is fading fast, cut him some slack.

This is because his newer stuff is forced. His older videos seemed to have more authentic reactions, and less CG animated garbage.

his passion is movies. shitty movies if you mind me saying. videogames were just a mean to that passion: the nerd character. he already managed to make a movie of it and I bet on his spare time the least thing he wants to do is play.

every game he plays with mike he always find a way to talk about movies. it's been like this for a long time but money is money, who doesn't like it?

There are no shortage of shitty dos, amiga, win95 era pc games, etc. Might not be his thing though.
