I went through it to read (I think) all of the descriptions and it's not too terribly specific, just the usual shots thrown at people liberals are unable to even mention in passing without some seething remark. Any mention of police or religious figures in tapes are chided, Surviving Edged Weapons is an example where it does the bog standard cliche "other profession are more dangerous than cops" thing. The most cringe is the 3d printed tape holder saying "some guy/gal/nb sent this in".

Basically just the minimum level of being unable to keep your smug self-righteousness out of your writing. No Communist Manifestos or rants about Trump... nothing to get mad over.

I long for the days when you'd see gay shit like that and just roll your eyes, mutter "what a faggot", and forget about it

Back in 2013, it lead to them being nominated for "Best Milwaukee Wedding" even though it was ancient history by then.

Wow, I knew about Red Letter Weddings and other deep lore, but I've never seen the sizzle reel before. Makes you wonder what the guys would be up to if their youtube never took off. Probably not shooting weddings, I can't imagine that being very fulfilling for them. Not enough shlock.

RE Prey: Haven't seen the movie and probably won't, but I feel like a lot of people assume RLM will be on their side when it comes to complaining about wokeness....even though I can't think of a single time they called something woke seriously as part of a complaint. It's like no one pays attention. The guys aren't really on a side. As Mike said, he's not pro or anti woke. Shitting on stuff does not equal being on the right. What exactly is woke about a native woman starring in a film about Predator vs primitve people? Like Jay said, people were getting mad about a black woman just existing on a poster. I agree that some things are clearly a woke cash grab and prioritize someone's race or disability over choosing the best person for the role, but this movie doesn't seem like that. Seems like it made sense with the story they wanted to tell.
 
It's a problem of the times, really. There is so much woke out there now that the mere presence of a woman/minority/gay character feels like it's part of an agenda.

One could make the argument that a woman was chosen to star in a Predator film simply because they hadn't done it yet. But because of the times it comes off as more of a pandering move to people sick of pandering moves.

The trailer gave off kinda a pandering vibe as well, tbh.
 
The game, only about 3 gig in size.
You can even play Plinketto. Having Nukie as the corner tape isn't cool, because the ball never lands there.

Couple of the sets.

3.png

The half in the bag set lagged my game due to all the bottles.
5.png

Each VHS also has a detailed jacket, the creator of this did his homework in getting it authentic. Kinda wish that the wheels had slots you can insert VHS back into cause I picked this up and couldn't place it exactly back again. The pattern for the white peel from the cover is all the same on the VHS covers though, noticed that.
4.png

Went to do what mike did, throwing his bottles around so I ran and threw at the same time and it freezes in the air.
6.png

I can then pick up the glass and cause that to float in the air as well. Does all that alcohol give Mike telekinetic powers?

Surviving Edged Weapons

Think I found the autism, the NB mention on the BOTW stands.

I spun the wheel too hard and all the tapes went flying off, except this one, Top Slots. Your lucky day finally came, Jimmy.

Big Hunks.

So there's Plinkett's TV, which has scenes from various movies that are bitcrushed to death. Shimmy slide, some Neil Breen acting and the like.
3.png

You can turn the TV on/off to change what it plays.
3.5.png

Going into the files at SuperVHS\SuperVHS\Content\Movies, there's a bunch of .mov files that play on the TV. Including a 24 minute episode of Nightcourt.
4.png

Don't ask me to upload that, because it's 440mb with static hiss deliberately thrown in. Here's Shimmy slide.

There is the Whopper Button but it only says "Future Force".
5.png

Here's Mike's flask and a few other things in the storage room.
6.png

One day.
Untitled.png

Find all the tapes for Space Cop.
Untitled2.png

The original wheel.
Untitled3.png

There's also enough Nukie tapes to do this.
Untitled4.png

Now they'll have to watch it.
Awww, fug. "Not watching Nukie" is a choice too.
Untitled5.png

Black spines.
Untitled6.png

Space cop.

Mike's Flask.
8.png

This... thing.
9.png

It's like a Tums festival.
10.png

SoS really is weird.
11.png

I keep trying to throw bottles at the "Star Wars Holiday Special" but they go through the TV.
PUT ON NIGHTCOURT, I WANT TO SEE NIGHTCOURT.

>Use before 9/11/01

RIP Leo Fong.

Back of the VHS door has all the posters.
15.png

The actual set, the desk is a little small.

Dick the Birthday boy.

This must have taken months to make.

Corkboard in the back.

This is on the desk, Federation Sovereign and Defiant classes and a Klingon Bird of Prey.
20.png

Cough.
21.png

Ghostbusters thing. Probably a few years out of date.
22.png

Wish Mike would stop trashing the sets.
26.png

Ah, No.50 was the Black Spine at the base of the stairs.
23.png

These are all the tapes I found, including stuff from the wheel.
24.png

>Space cops gun fires Star Wars blaster noises.
25.png

So the exit is... the cold Wisconsin weather. Stay and watch terrible VHS or freeze to death?
27.png

Death it is. But outside. What's that light, and what's under it?
28.png

We're finally able to watch Nightcourt.
29.png


As wallpapers go, these two work I think.

That's it. If there was a marriage tape I probably missed that but this is pretty good, trashing the place like Mike on a bender and finally able to watch Nightcourt.

Kiwis, post your thoughts on whether the parasocial weirdo that made this game, emboldened by being enabled by his internet friends, will cause some kind of drama that leads to them regretting making this video.

Imo it's just a matter of time.

Rich Evans skin suit is not out of the question, but who suffers more the Rich Evans or the person wearing his toxic flesh?

Whatever happens, it can't be worse than having your first Neil Breen episode be with Max Landis.
 
Should have had the gun's projectile explode on impact and throw physics objects around a bit. They were hyping it up in the video and it did basically fucking nothing. Rich shot the same bottle four times with no reaction at all.
 
So I stumbled across this article which is about CGI usage in movies, and thought it was interesting. I knew that digital artists worked in sweatshops just like game developers, but it was interesting to see that something so integral to a film was treated with such disdain and as an afterthought
 
You can trace the beginning of RLM being "controversial" directly to 2016 when they were the only high profile YouTube movie reviewers who didn't pull any punches about how much Ghostbusters 2016 sucked. Suddenly some people were like "Hey guys we all know the Star Wars prequels sucked ha ha, right? but it's important we're not mean about the new Female Ghostbusters because that's something only freakin' CHUDS would do." That and that episode from the Nerd Crew which featured the infamous "don't ask questions, just consume product and then get excited for next product" moment - swipes at "geek culture" and Collider-style shilling like that seemed to rile up a lot of people who suddenly were going "uh, they're bad, actually".

I see a lot of people trying to write them off as just a bunch of reactionary filmbros and then you have other people who also use words like chud and filmbro unironically but keep trying to claim "anyway they're actually based tolerant leftists and my friends".

The point is they're funny and that's what matters.

I was really hoping that the bald fuck would come out and it would allow you to pulverize him, ngl
 
I was wondering why they seemed to adore the game but everyone bashed that one dude who made detailed drawings of what he believed the studio layout to look like. Then I read the video description:

"Normally we don't give attention to weirdos that take this much effort making something so utterly creepy, but this game is just so impressive, Rich and Mike had to play it and see what all the fuss was about. "

So I guess they consider both creepy but because one has more effort it's less creepy.
 
This game is fun. I don't really think people making stuff like this are the parasocial freaks though. Autistic, sure, but it's clearly made with genuine love. It's the fans that think the guys will agree with them on everything because they once voiced a few opinions or observations that match their own that I find creepy. That's parasocial entitlement right there.
 
Looks like BanyaBat's big Army of Darkness commentary video got taken down, so it was reuploaded/edited into two parts.



Siskel and Ebert were hack frauds.

I know there was an argument here recently about what's the point of watching these commentary highlights rather than just listening to the commentaries. I mostly fall on the side of ignoring these highlight reels, largely because they're not made by RLM. But this BanyaBat guy's stuff is another matter. He cuts away a lot of the dead space and empty chatter, edits in bits of the movie so you can follow along, and often splices in ancillary material and RLM in-jokes. (In this one, for instance, he does a chunk of a 1977 student film Raimi and Campbell made where they do a bunch of Three Stooges gags.) Definitely worth a look.
 
I know the forums mocks such things; but I very much agree with what was mocked in the Prey review. That shit IS annoying, politics are annoying and this culture war shit is annoying most of all. You motherfuckers were there for 2016, and so much of that shit is just stuck in that era. Everyone acts like it's still hip to say Woke or Feminazi or Nazi or Chud when it's been almost SIX FUCKING YEARS. You have to be stupid to not find this shit overplayed and annoying at this point. Recognize when you're being played or something is being shallow, but don't treat EVERYTHING like it's some goddamn political manifesto. To quote Jay in that very same video:

"I hate...the world that we live in." - Jay Bauman, 2022.
