Bob, stop it with the pyro-thinker and anti-thinker. I subscribed to listen to what you have to say about gaming, not watch poor acting and trivial plots.

@BabbitPenguin

You bring up a good point.

I think I commented a while back when I had just started watching your show about the "New" direction. I was saying I felt like continuing it was sort of a slap to the fans who make your show a profitable and rewarding hobby with their time and, occasionally, money.

I'd like to apologize if I voiced it accusingly. I think doing what you want and enjoy is much better for the show and makes it what it is to begin with.

Some will like it, some will not.

Have fun, Bob.

Don't let popular opinion dissuade you. Ninjas are awesome. Oversaturation and exposure damages fondness and image.

Ninjas done right is always a treat.

A good episode of Walker Texas Ranger with a cheesy finishing move is always better than an onslaught of overused jokes would lead you to expect.

@Norvolo I think he was referring to the massive amount of CGI involved in the Transformers/Aliens/Threat to Humanity in those movies, which are honestly the only selling point to begin with.

N-n-n-no...I NEED MY JAPANESE GAMES. YOU CAN'T TAKE THEM FROM ME! I shall return with an army of glompy fangirls....Oh damn it all to hell, I just can't go on with no Japanese games..I wont be able to...BE.

I really wish Capcom of Japan's execs and devs could see this video. There is a prevailing mentality in Japan that their stuff just can't be popular here (this is pretty ridiculous considering how many Shonen Jump icons dominate Saturday morning cartoons these days), which I had taken notice of in the Mega Man Legends 3 Devroom blog even well before the game was cancelled. Those who haven't traveled internationally always seem surprised to find out that they actually do have fans over here.

3:00 - Listen Bob, I hate the glut of "REELISTIK SHOOTURS" still flooding the market to this day just as much as you do, but when people say a movie "looks like a videogame,' they're talking about an over-abundance of unconvincing CG special effects - IE, that everything on screen looks like it's been made on computers, just like the worlds and characters of all videogames. See Red Letter Media's reviews of the Star Wars prequels for an example of this term being used.
