Serious question. What makes you like a retro eceleb?

I don't actually like most of them. I think first for me is camera/sound/editing quality. Second is their character/persona. Third is their content and consistency.

I honestly hate overly annoying AMPED UP! people. But I also don't like negative wet sacks of potatoes either. A good editing and camera/sound setup does a ton for me. I only watch 5-10 videos a month but I try and go for those with ultra high quality and consistency

AWWWWWWWWWW YEAH E-CELEB THREAD
I LIKE WHEN THEY get MAD and scream about hte video games (haha LOUD!!!!)
or when they confirm my biases that emulation is just cheating (incidentally, isn't it great how they link to their ebay page so that you can give them money for their games?)
I also like to learn interesting facts from them! For example, did you know that Super Mario Bros. 2 is ACTUALLY a reskin of Doki Doki Panic on NES? It's true!
the best part, though, is that these guys play all these boring old video games for me so that I don't have to! that way, i can join conversations and sound like i have an informed opinion, even though all i did was watch a 5 minute video on why some cool guy thinks it's shit! now i know better than to play ocarina of time! dodged a bullet on that one!

>> No.4664818

I would love to see a fairly dry, but extremely well-researched, youtube show that focused on history and context of retro games and gaming as a whole. It would only involve the host talking to the camera at the start/end of the episode, or not at all.

I am sick to fucking death of YT randos playing old games and intentionally misunderstanding them just so they can say some dumb edgy shit and crack jokes. It was old after Seanbaby did it.

A professional is someone who gets paid as their main occupation. And I guarantee you pewdiepie has a far bigger audience than arino so that instantly makes him a bigger celebrity if you want to say people from YouTube aren't really celebs.

As far as actual retro related ones go in sure a lot of them put in tons of research and actually go a lot more in depth than some jap youre only obsessed with because you're a faggot weaboo. Matt Barton is one i don't really watch his videos unless he's got someone I like on but he always has guests that actually made games and worked in the industry a little more professional and informative than visiting a jap arcade.

I don't get why e-celeb people get so irritated by the fact that Arino started on TV and theatres in Japan (and way before Game Center CX).

Quit trying to pretend it's the same thing. One is autistics screeching at a camera about how the game is shit because they couldn't beat the second level, the other is a professional TV comedian being forced to play until he beats it or hits midnight. A) makes money through views on their youtube videos people keep advertising here(shilling for free), B) makes money through the sponsors of the broadcast, we watch an ad-free version. You have to be functionally retarded to think they are the same thing.

Metal Jesus aside, 200.00 is a pretty decent price for a Windows 98, PIII 500 machine with a Voodoo 3 3000.

I know the ideal situation is to find something like that for 20.00 at a Garage sale, flea market, craigslister, get it free from grandma, etc, etc, but that period of PC is becoming increasingly harder to find in the wild. It's nothing but pre-built P4 Dells out there now.
