History Buffs.

Not a rant, but a fact: the guy is a fucking scam who PRETENDS to be a History Buff but really isn't, and yet people buy his shit.
Reminds me of Extra Credits, they have a history show that gets them a ton of shekels (almost 15k a month) on Patreon despite them getting shit wrong as well.

I could never understand the appeal of those animated figures instead of real people - that's what shows for kids do after all. If you're shy, autistic, afraid of being doxxed or all that combined (I Hate Everything), just don't show your face, but don't make a childish substitute for yourself. Or do make that, because apparently that's a recepy to becoming widely accepted and respected figure. At least his production values are a bit better than ExtraCredits, plus he doesn't distort his voice, but it's still pointless distraction.

Speaking of Extra Credits: Extra Credits. They get absolutely everything in every video about everything wrong. It's like intentional misinformation, only I don't think the main faggot is aware of it and actually believes his crap. I'd say EC have the shittest opinions about games by far.
I would say that if it wasn't for Errant Signal, who also has shit taste and dumb opinions about everything.

There's some other faggot with a complicated and pompous-sounding name that I can't stand. He'd be the one I'd point to if somebody would ask me to define shit taste. Made a long video about the Bioshock games and arrived at the conclusion that Infinite was by far the best and System Shock by far the worst of the "series". Did the same for Fallout and actually excluded 1&2 entirely because he didn't play them and didn't care for them anyway.
I can't, and don't think I have to, put into words how retarded that is.

Remember when we ran out of wireless internet a few years ago? That sucked, man.

It was just a theory. A game theory!
Actually, it wasn't even a proper hypothesis but who cares in "soft sciences", right?

Yeah, I'd definitely count EC in channels I hate. They're wrong about everything all the time. I had some big rant I posted about one of their videos back on 2.0 or 3.0, but I forgot which video of theirs made me so pissed off. They love everything that's shitty about modern gaming and are pretentious to a fault.

It's always "Here's a super shit thing I suggest for vidya!" or "Here's why this thing everyone fucking hates is actually good!" or "Know this really shit trend in gaems? Here's how we'd make it even more shit!" and finally "See how I have the shittest possible opinion ever and are more poisonous than the EA executive board? I'm a teacher at a game university so pay me to learn how to be worse than r/gaming!".

It's almost unfathomable how shit his opinions are.

Oh and I almost forgot the holy trinity of shit opinions that he doesn't only hold true but teaches:
>gaems r art
>vidya needs 2 grow up
>muh cinematic experience

All served with a side of gameplay being supposedly unimportant.

Yeah, they're the kind of people who idolize the recent trend of pushing storylines hardcore in vidya gaems with shit like Last of Us the corridor zambie shoot-stealther with big-name hollywood actors. Because that's the future of current year +2 video games.

They just know what gaymurs want. I hate getting stuck in a glitch and having to reload the last save, find out it's corrupted and reinstall the entire game and start all over as much as the next guy. But five stars because Gary Busey had a two minute bit in it! Already got the season pass and everything!
