Tim Rogers - Part 1

[ClappingMao]

some real angry redditors on this vid

[TheENweb]

I read somewhere online that: people who have idolized about a country and thought that that was the "best country on Earth" will comeback to their homeland and be disappointed; while people who had to go to that country due to (for example) work will come back pleased with that country and generally be happy about that country.

[SinkingStarship]

Occasionally he writes some interesting articles (like the Dragon Quest V review) but most of his writing comes across as pretentious bullshit that's more about self-aggrandizing writing than the game itself. He's basically a hipster game reviewer, and Action Button is what you get when you make Pitchfork Media a review site for games. Generally not a good thing.

[liradeorfeu]

This video made me want to visit Japan, as far as making me listen to that guy with glasses...not so much.

[DOBBSA87]

You know why you keep getting fired and kicked out of places? YOU'RE A DICK, TIM ROGERS.

[spectrex]

Oh god I want to punch this guy in the face and dick with someone else's legs. He's a pompous, no-nothing douche and every phrase coming from his mouth is retardedly vague, circuitous and riddled with smugness and fabrications.

[djesse19]

This was utter shit.

[ThatGuy0008]

I think you guys take Tim a bit too seriously. He has a great sense of humour and writes fantastic articles. Haters stop hating.

[Druffmaul]

Good lord, he's even more self serving and pretentious in person than he is in his "articles". I don't know who I hate more- Tim himself, or the people who fawn over him.

[FukuzawaY]

Holy crap this guy is boring. He talks with the absolute conviction that what he is saying is interesting but it's just ... nothing.

[weatherjp]

Massive faggot.

[ThatGuyWithTheHat]

"Famous" is a pretty generous label, Tim. "Well-known to a fraction of people who use the internet to talk about video games and mocked by half of those people" is fame sliced to the width of about one electron.

I'm sure, if pressed, it'd turn out to have been meant ironically all along.

And I still read his boring, self-indulgent blog. When he actually talks about video games, and not how proud he is to be a vegan non-smoker and patron saint of semi-colons, he's actually really worthwhile.

[Eivindtehax]

Hope you realize this is all lies and bullshit. Hope this faggot burns in hell, fuckin leech on the industry and nothing more.

[Genjinai]

What a wuss...

Tremendous Faggot - Part 1

GET OUT OF JAPAN

This is the first time I've seem him in person; he sounds very self important, which I can forgive, but I still love his articles. When you have the time to read them, he also makes intelligent and original commentary on videogames. They're a joy to read.

[lloydthedestroyer]

Anyone able to tell me who made the music on this vid?

[grumblekin]

Tim Rogers is the coolest guy he's ever met and he won't let anyone forget it.

He does many things, but none seemingly well. There are hundreds of edgy, self-inflated 20-somethings out there that live overseas and do 100 things a day, but I guess only Tim has the balls to tell you how awesome his version of it is.

I have nothing against him, but his annoying, scrambled verbosity is popping up too often on the web for my tastes.

[hachisan]

You know, his articles are really GOOD and all, but he's not nearly as famous as he sometimes implies he is.

Not to be a real bitch or anything.

[InsomniumX]

Well, he is sort of famous--famous by the standards of game journalism, at least. I mean, he was the supertstar of Insertcredit: anybody who knew it knew Tim (even though some of them didn´t even know Sheffield!)

[Marumasa]

that's not exactly "fame" in the objective sense.

[hachisan]

Exactly. It's a "big fish, little pond" thing, and that would be completely fine if Rogers didn't continuously remind us of how famous he is and how much we all want to be him.

[Dre2Dee2]

He's looks like he's 12 years old... LOL

[internetmale]

Just as the eternally iron-pumping black man I sometimes call my "inner monologue" shouted "Hell Yeah Mother Fucker!"

[cthulhoo]

Tim Rogers owns lol

[kygu7gg787g]

"Yeah I'm pretty popular on the internet. It's no big deal or anything. I just wrote about 50 paragraphs about some video games's, and sent them to some people who might be interested.

"Are you impressed? But, anyway, like I said, whatever. It's not like I was trying to achieve anything- I'm what you'd call a 'mild-mannered' long-winded douche. B)"

"hey it's me again the douche from the cold opening,"

"THEY EAT A LOT OF CARROTS IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN" *rubs hands*

[frackle]

I lived with a manga artist, in my native tongue it's called manga.

[mydogyoshi]

hey look subways

[spywez]

The opening was more profound than the entire Lost in Translation/.

[badfex]

Insert credit is by far one of my favourite games sites, I never joined it's community but Tim's articles are so interesting because he's such a good writer. Great vid!

104 posts to go.

[digi7]

Sweet. A post by a 108 flamer and a 108 lover.

[assimilate]

what a dickhead.

[GilbertSmith]

"They eat a lot of carrots... if you know what I mean!" Brilliant.
