Am I the only one who can't stand this guy's videos? He can draw a good observation, and he's got good production quality, but the puppet gimmick makes it feel like he's talking down to me. It comes off to me as "I know things about games you couldn't possibly understand, so I'll have a Muppet explain it for your tiny brain." I have a hard time going through his videos without cringing at the puppet. Maybe it's just me though.

I always saw it as his own unique presentation.

[QUOTE=TheGoodDoctorF;51850557] Maybe it's just me though.[/QUOTE] It is.
