TB talks about why he doesn't take requests - General

Thought this video was interesting [video=youtube;6zqSnlzXcGU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zqSnlzXcGU[/video]

He's right, but he does seem awfully conceited in his response "I don't need to prove how good of a person I am"

Isn't what he says about the viewer-creator relationship true for most everything else? It seems like the norm whenever I see anything with a large audience base; look at something like Minecraft, for example, and how there are droves of people requesting that the devs add this or that or whatever. I've never heard of this guy, but it sucks that it became that much of a problem for him that he had to address it in a video.

snippity snippity snierp

I think he's quite a bit of a cunt regardless of his opinions.

I feel bad for famous youtube/livestream people who have to play games they don't like in order to keep viewers.

[QUOTE=salmonmarine;39706092]He's right, but he does seem awfully conceited in his response "I don't need to prove how good of a person I am"[/QUOTE] Well, he doesn't really does he. These are [I]gaming[/I] videos.

I still can't believe people couldn't understand this and bitched about it SO MUCH that he needed to make a video explaining it.

[QUOTE=Killer900;39706456]People on Youtube are idiots, not really surprising.[/QUOTE] Its not just youtube people though, I hear people complaining about it everywhere.

[QUOTE=TheSporeGA;39706170]CYNICAL brit[/QUOTE] Before I heard about all the drama he apparently kicks up/looked at his twitter and had only watched his videos, I had thought he was actually really nice since he was usually really positive in his videos

reminded me how shitty it is to play dota on the lowest settings, it can be a pretty game at times

Isn't TB the idiot who got so mad for a youtube comment he went to the hospital?

I can't believe nobody mentioned how many times he said "huh yeah" I say 14 times. From what I gather, he got upset because someone wanted him to play a game then he replies to that comment on his video I guess, saying he doesn't do game requests and then his comment got rated as spammed? I don't understand why he has to be such a fucking old lady about it. just going on and on about it giving us different examples huh yeah? About how his videos shouldn't be ABOUT ONE PERSON THE VIERWER ARGH I DON'T WANT TO DO WHAT YOU TELL ME TO DO I HAVE THINGS ALREADY READY TO REVIEW BLUH BLUH PUZZLE INDIE GAMES. This is all balderdash. 25 minute video explaning why he doesn't do requests. He doesn't even sound like he enjoys doing what he does, like I though people doing the shit that he kind of does were happy to play new games and to show them off he's just like I give good games the thumbs up and bad games the thumbs down. So if it's not to his taste he's just going to call it shit then? Oh yeah great biased video game reviews from someone who has an annoying habbit of saying yeah a lot.

I much prefer Yahtzee over TB in terms of reviewing and being cynical/nitpicking at games.

[QUOTE=EnlightenDead;39707421]I much prefer Yahtzee over TB in terms of reviewing and being cynical/nitpicking at games.[/QUOTE] I really don't think they're comparable.

I haven't watched Yahtzee's stuff since 2008. I like TB because he starts intellectual discussions. I don't have to agree with him or take sides but just the fact that he talks about games critically is enough.

The person he's bitching about has a point though. When I used to watch TB he played every puzzle game every, sucked really really hard at them, and hated them. Why does he play them?

People just won't cut TB some slack, I would be upset too If I was vilified for the most trivial reasons.

I saw him blow up about this on twitter before he uploaded this. I think what really set him off was when he replied to the guy that he "didn't do requests" everybody flagged his reply as spam and hid it. His reply got flagged as spam on his own video :v: . If it were me I'd be raging a lot more.

He's creep blocking in radiant safe lane. This makes me legitimately angry.

[QUOTE=Zephyrs;39707785]He's creep blocking in radiant safe lane. This makes me legitimately angry.[/QUOTE] Take it to the dota 2 sub-forum :v: But yeah that's pretty shitty, especially when it's double carry bot, bot with really good harass.

AFAIK Facepunch is based on SA.

I like to think the Facepunch web interface is elegant.

He may be the worst puzzle game player I've ever seen but he doesn't hate on the games for his own shortcomings (and if he does, it is very easy to tell when). The point is for the viewers to judge the games by what he shows of the game and it's mechanics.
