I don't understand.

Is America stuck in some 1930's mentality?

Whats the point of a book?

Make a fucking website. Fill it with Videos, fill it with content, site sources, you can have links to gameplay and not just screenshots. Have an embedded video to him beating it, give live-price updating. Hell, make leaderboards for challenge runs or speed runs, highlight people who did really cool or interesting things in the game.

Make it an online compendium for all things NES.

A 500 page hardcover book is a novelty, good for a flip through once or twice.

>Make a fucking website

But Anon, if he makes a book douchebag hipsters will buy it. If he makes a website how will he make money? If he puts his website behind a paywall nobody will fucking give him money, he's gotta jew as hard as he can, because lets face it, he'll never get a real job so he's gotta pander to the hipster kiddies to make money.

If I gave two shits about him I'd know if he had a patreon or not, but I'd be surprised if he didn't. Getting funded to release a review a day/week/whatever and promising to do the entire NES catalogue would be a better idea than making a book, but he's a collectorfag, they automatically value physical pbjects more, hence the wanting a book with his name on it, because he's a diseased narcissist. And y'know, probably too dumb to realise that in 2015 a patreon can pay your rent so you don't have to produce more shit to clog up neckbeards basements.

I've never seen people gossip about Arino, they just laugh about the stuff he says, etc.

Meanwhile e-celeb threads are all "cuck? CUCK!" "did his wife got fucked?" etc.

The main difference between Arino and e-celeb threads, besides one being an actual TV show and the others amateur stuff, is that the fanbases are wildly different.

That's because, as I said, the fanbase is very different. They don't care about gossip shit, they will just talk about the show and help people find torrents to download the episodes.

Meanwhile you e-celeb fans will keep shitposting, making bait threads, and forcing the cuck meme everywhere you go.
Maybe if you were less teenagers, you wouldn't be so hated and e-celeb threads would be accepted.

Arino being a pedophile isn't gossip though.

To be honest, I haven't been reading the Arino thread, but at least it's just 1 single thread. You don't see Arino fans making bait threads all the time while youtubefags keep doing youtube threads over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over. Right now someone posted another youtube thread about kids react to game boy. This needs to stop, we need a Youtube board.

I'm gonna explain some shit to you niggers. Look, if we started having threads for every fuck that makes videos about video games what would this place be? Why is it so important that you all be able to gush about your favorite nerd? I watch CGR, AVGN, etc. but do I feel the need to tell /vr/ about them? No, so why do you?

And another thing, GCCX and Doom general are staples of this board and were around before you even got here. So before you pull that "how come i don't get to talk about who i like" stuff, just go get fucked

I think things about old game related entertainment should have their own general thread and be done with it. I have no problem with GCCX and I don't give a fuck if people sometimes want to talk about other things that the guy does on his show or talk about the guy himself. As long as the talk is predominantly about the their use of old games as a means of entertainment, I don't see a problem with them. Arino is just another guy who struggles at playing videogames to entertain people.

Booty Spankins new walk through series is more focused on actual gameplay than humor or making a show. I'm curious how people would react to a thread about that.
