[QUOTE=RayvenQ;48613914]As mentioned earlier in the thread, Markiplier lives in LA, TB and boogie don't as far as i recall.[/QUOTE] Yea but it's not like they can't afford him a plane ticket to get him to the studio, yes? If they're gonna introduce Let's Players, at least they should bring in someone who knows his stuff a lot better than that clown.

Those things are largely different. And I doubt TB would have time for it or faith he'd do it justice, regardless.

Oh I merely meant to bring in someone seemingly more [I]mature[/I] on the matter, that's all. Pretty sure Markiplier knows the ins and outs of the "business", but I can't help but think he's been brought also to make Kimmel look like "he gets down with the kids".
TB is too cynical to make a fun mainstream talk show. Mark is perfect for it.

Also Boogie and TB aren't strictly what you'd call lets players. They're more gaming commentarists, with their own niche. TB generally gives his opinions on games (not particularly doing elts play on them) port reports, and stuff like that rather than mostly lets play.

Jimmy Kimmel is less funny than Jay Leno. And Jay Leno is pretty fucking unfunny
[QUOTE=benbb;48612332][video=youtube;GtZgpEqfoaI]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GtZgpEqfoaI[/video][/QUOTE] This was terrible. No attempt was made.
I don't care about whatever anyone says about his Let's Plays or Scare Cam Commentary, Mark is a pretty cool guy regardless. Hell, he even makes fun of it at certain points in his videos.
[QUOTE=Pretiacruento;48613810]My question is, why this dude and not Boogie2988 or TB? Jesus fucking christ.[/QUOTE] TB doesn't Let's Play, though.
markiplier is an interesting dude. his videos would be pretty good if he didn't just pander half the time, but it's what gets him money. sometimes I just kinda want him to stop fucking around and get to the point, but he actually tries in his gameplay at the very least, and shuts the hell up during important cutscenes
Markiplier is kind of a guilty pleasure for me because although I don't watch him that often and I don't enjoy his shouty videos, there are some videos of him playing games that I do find genuinely entertaining. In games where he's taking it seriously like The Last Of Us, besides the occasional silly voice that I don't really appreciate, he's quite a lot more competent and invested than a lot of big-time Twitch people I see going around. I don't think he's a "discount pewdiepie" at all.
[QUOTE=Coyoteze;48613124]Mark is doing his best to explain the whole thing and Kimmel just keeps pulling cheap jokes out his ass. He's talking about how great it is to meet his fans and all Kimmel can think of is "And then you have sex with these people?". The fuck? [editline]4th September 2015[/editline] She's showing her mother using the oculus rift and he cracks a "is your mother having an orgasm" Is all he can do very bad sex jokes?[/QUOTE] of course he keeps pulling jokes outta his ass, he's a fucking comedian the quality of the jokes is up for debate, if they're bad it's probably because he's only got one angle and doesn't deviate from it, but blame him for that not for trying to find opportunities for jokes in a comedy show [editline]4th September 2015[/editline] it sounds like you expected him to act all passive and interested when being sarcastic and a bit of an ass has always been his thing, that's what gets more views

Jimmy kimmel blows
Like anyone was gonna have an actual conversation on late night talk show television about games.
Vinesauce best Let's player

It was all i could do to finish the video instead of clicking away from Kimmels poor sex jokes. [QUOTE=Zukriuchen;48615757]it sounds like you expected him to act all passive and interested when being sarcastic and a bit of an ass has always been his thing, that's what gets more views[/QUOTE] I expected sass and the occasional burn because, yeah, that's his thing. What i got was a grown man channeling 12 year old YT commenters and legitimately asking someone if their mother was having an orgasm on live television while they're trying to help you understand their point of view.
[QUOTE=benbb;48612332][video=youtube;GtZgpEqfoaI]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GtZgpEqfoaI[/video][/QUOTE] My favorite part is how socially maladjusted Jimmy made himself look compared to them. Like what the fuck was even up with the "are you dating" question.
[QUOTE=Pretiacruento;48613810]Aaaand the whole thing turned out to be a PR stunt. Bravo. My question is, why this dude and not Boogie2988 or TB? Jesus fucking christ. I can't fucking stand JonTron anyway. I just don't like "Let's Players" in general. :[/QUOTE] By Game Grumps, I mean Arin, Danny, Suzy, Ross and Barry. I'm fine with Jontron at least he's genuinely funny unlike the current GG

[QUOTE=Baboo00;48621398]My favorite part is how socially maladjusted Jimmy made himself look compared to them. Like what the fuck was even up with the "are you dating" question.[/QUOTE] I felt a asian joke coming from a mile away at that moment. I was so glad it didn't happen.
[QUOTE=Ninja Gnome;48621634]yes i agree totalbiscuit would have been a far better choice than jimmy kimmel[/QUOTE] "You know what I hate the most? Ubisoft, and the damn 30 fps cabal behind thr videogaming world!" Jokes aside, it would indeed be a good pick.
I see TB not taking kindly to Jimmys type of humor. Kinda felt that Mark really didn't.
[QUOTE=Rangergxi;48637483]I see TB not taking kindly to Jimmys type of humor. Kinda felt that Mark really didn't.[/QUOTE] His humor seems more suited to a comedy central show than a late night talk show.
[QUOTE=Anderan;48637522]His humor seems more suited to a comedy central show than a late night talk show.[/QUOTE] Well he did have a pretty popular show on Comedy Central with Adam Carolla for awhile thanks to their success with radio... I used to kinda like Kimmel and not like Carolla, but now I don't really like Kimmel and enjoy listening to Carolla's podcast.
