Probably the best video relating to Gamergate, even though it barely talks about the scandal itself.
Guy did some research. Interviews and everything.
[QUOTE=Yogkog;45955297]Probably the best video relating to Gamergate, even though it barely talks about the scandal itself.[/QUOTE] He really doesn't need to talk about the scandal, because it's some semi-isolated incident that became a springboard for everything else.
It's amazing how many things have happened in only one month. From Zoe Quinn to GamerGate to ISIS beheading captives to Putin invading Ukraine to servers being DDoS to streamers being swatted on stream. [editline]11th September 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=BlackBirdNL;45955725]Guy did some research. Interviews and everything.[/QUOTE] Super Bunnyhop is actual journalist with a degree in journalism. He is what a gaming journalist should be.
Bunnyhop owns. He doesn't have some disgusting agenda like that Internet Aristocrat guy, and isn't a colossal dumbass like Kotaku writers. He's one of the closest things we've got to a completely unbiased games journalist.
Bunnyhop is pretty much the single best video game youtube channel and perhaps the best games journalist. I can think of no better ones (matthewmatosis is pretty equal in terms of his reviews but he's infrequent and only does reviews), although outside of youtube I don't look at games journalism because all the mainstream stuff is goddamn terrible and I don't know of any good smaller written vg journalists/bloggers(if anyone knows any good stuff though i would love to hear about them). His videos are as unbiased as he can be, he doesn't have an agenda as you said, he is very well spoken and in-depth. His game reviews and critiques are great (his series of MGS reviews are just incredible. His MGS2 one specifically is not just a game review but an extension of the themes that game deals with of memes, social conditioning, misleading media, etc etc its so good) and his opinion pieces are absolutely spot-on every time. He doesn't ride hype trains but will talk about things that are relevant and discusses the state of video games quite often, dealing with issues and coming up with potential solutions and he always goes up and beyond in terms of effort and content. For isntance his recent Playstation Now vid is a fantastic look at what is and what could be and it's quite terrifying. he doesn't just talk about how PSNow is a bit laggy or anything, he gets into the social and economic aspects of it and how companies can use it to manipulate and control the market, and that's the kind of thing I love about him. I think what I like about Bunnyhop is he analyses. On everything. On his reviews, opinion pieces, etc. He's not like pretty much all reviewers/critics/journalists who will just say "mgs2 is good cos its cool and snake owns and raiden is a bitch but like it makes sense if yu think about it.. prepare for mindfucks ghough!!" He looks into [I]why[/I] MGS2 was a great game but also where it fell, he looks at its context (he goes right back to the fucking origins of post-modernism as a concept and form of art and how it applied to our society when it came to be, in 2001 at the time of MGS2's release, and how it continues to apply now like damn that is NOT something you would find anywhere else in games journalism) and how important it is. he looks into the themes and meaning behind it all. And while SBH is doing that u have mainstream journalism doing this--- [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/QiGFZix.png[/IMG]
Apart from matthewmatosis, are there any other channels like bunnyhop?

Of that list, extra credits is incredibly pretentious very frequently. They look for issues and deep meaning in everything. It devalues the weight of any argument they raise when they literally will bitch about anything.
MrBTongue is the best and everything he says is the best. If only he released more videos.

My biggest problem with Extra Credits is the bad background art and the (at least I think it is) voice mod. His voice is so unnaturally high that it pierces my ears. It's not loud, it just doesn't sound right at all and I have no idea why he would change his voice to be higher.
this video. i agree with this video and what it stands for. strongly.

He explains what he's talking about well too As for extra credits I assume he's an industry professionalaand does it as a way to keep his identity hidden. He acknowledges himself as a designer and is always like "we as game designers"... Etc. The channel seems mostly about people wanting to make games but his discussions are still interesting either way.

oh i haven't checked his channel in a while and i guess he's apologized for it since. i guess hes alright wtf no automerge
What was the article about Totalbiscuit at the very beginning that we saw only a glimpse of?

He does the voice mod because he thinks his voice would be just, utterly boring and uninteresting to really listen to, and the art is simplistic for the sake of getting the point across quickly and efficiently.
DragonCon is no fun unless you've got people to see. It's 90% $20 Marvel t-shirts and not much else. v:v:v
