omg I already watched it 

 

Also, an episode every week? Smells like a big fat lie. 

[Keyser_Soze]

I won't be posting his episodes every week like I used to

 

(OK maybe I will)

Feels like Final Bosman again, awesome.

[Brian]

So he is back doing what he said he didn’t want to do?

 

[Pikachu]

Just needed a sabbatical.

[XxEvil AshxX]

He got tired of streaming online in his onesies.

[GameDadGrant]

Well then like all good over-the-top JRPG final bosses, there's yet another form just when you think you're on the last one!

We're making a video game, it's not political *wink*

[legend]

I think he's back, at least for a while

 

Enjoyed all the shows so far.

 

I'm curious to see if he does actually make Shrek references a continuing joke through them all

Hobbies have become a bit ridiculous with the techniques they use to milk customers.

 

I play warhammer (more AoS than 40k these days), and GW has done some terrible, anti-consumer bs. Of course it's not random like cards, but they put great units in a set that is mostly trash (ie New Heavy Intercessors in the Pariah Nexus boxed sets).

Those Heavy Intercessors have become a holy grail for holding home side objectives, a 5 man unit has 15 wounds (in non 40k player speak, they are damage sponges compared to most troop choices) and can shoot almost completely across the table. So, Pariah Nexus sells out because people desperately want that one unit. A 45$ unit is suddenly almost triple because you can only buy it in a box.

 

Pokémon has done the same thing, except you don't even know whats in the pack. Using artificial rarity to drive up sales. But it seems more nefarious when Pokémon does it, because they are marketed for children (Obviously, millions of adults play too, but the target audience are kids like my wifes nephew, who's life, at 10, revolves around Pokémon and Pokémon CCG). When I spend 120$ on a set of plastic crack for a single unit of Intercessors, im able to understand whats happening and why im spending. But with kids and Pokémon, its compulsive, they will spend everything on it without question. The game was banned in his school because older kids were reselling packs to young children at marked up prices, taking their lunch money.

 

Of course, I complain, but later today im going to my local game store to see what stock they've gotten in the month ive been gone, and silently hoping theres a Pariah Nexus box set left on the shelves. And that my Bel'Akor came in, Maybe an Arkanaut Ironclad too....

 

But like I said, it feels like its more nefarious when its children being exploited. I know what im doing, and im not going to forego my lunch to buy this stuff. Kids like the nephew don't care about rarity, they just want the best cards for the games meta. Whether its rare or not never factors in.

 

Tldr: artificial rarity is exploitative of the most vulnerable hobbyists, children.

No Shrek reference this week. 

 

Also that "I was gonna say" joke was solid. His stand up roots coming through. 

[Fizzzzle]

Last week I think the only shrek reference was a reference to shrek references.

[Mr.Vic20]

Loving this new show! I don't enjoy many internet personalities, but he definitely has the skills to hold his audience's attention.

I like his comparison of valve and epic. It'll probably be even more stark when epic inevitably goes public.

Valve literally just doesn't give a damn and they have that luxury because they're private.

Is Gabe the one good billionaire?

There is no such thing as a "good" billionaire.

There is no good billionaire because I am not a billionaire.

This week was less about video games and more about a workout program. I'm not disappointed. 

 

Glad we got the Shrek reference in this episode.

I'm not sure that personal trainer is really all that well trained himself; everything I've seen says that for muscular hypertrophy (getting the muscles bigger) you need to rest 3 minutes between sets. Mind you Kyle doesn't exactly have all the proper equipment, and this is a comedy video, but still.
