So I guess PreRec is ending today.

why is that?

 

[BubbleButt]

Because they hate doing it.

 

[Absolutego]

They hate doing it, it's stagnated in terms of revenue for a while now, it's a big time sink and they stream so often they never really have anything to talk about, Rich is a gigantic bad opinions factory and Jack got sensitive over being called aidsmoby.

The Canadians have been useful visitors to RLM, before them, my experience with Canadians was limited to this factual film, which I started thinking about while watching their review of Strange Brew starring :hint hint: SCTV alums Thomas and Moranis

Every Canadian I've ever talked to loves to talk about pot.

It's funny that Bob and Doug Mackenzie were created as filler yet became so surprisingly popular - they even parodied the phenomenon on SCTV with an episode where SCTV president Guy Cabellero decided to exploit their popularity by giving them a whole live prime time special complete with musical guest Tony Bennett. He takes away time slots from regular characters like Sammy Maudlin and Johnny LaRue for this special - which turns out to be way outside of the Brothers' comfort zone, and Cabellero pulls the plug on this disaster in the middle of a sketch when Doug and Bob awkwardly show up as the Festrunk Brothers ("We are like two wild and crazy guys, eh?")

They also produced the episode where the above parody of the 1970 film Goin' Down The Road appeared - inspired by NBC filling time slots by airing CFL games during the 1982 NFL strike, SCTV must make up for budget cuts by piping in CBC programming, like Canadian Fact PSAs (approved by the Ministry of Facts)

and the longest running Canadian game show Headline Challenge

So I guess PreRec is ending today.

Their reviews were okay but their streams THANKS HACKFRAUD69 FOR 6 MONTHS were OH MY GAAAAAAWD kinda PLINKETTFAN JUST DONATED $1 shit. To be fair that's pretty much every twitch streamer these days but that doesn't make them any more watchable.

 

[BrunoMattei]

The Pre-Rec streams were honestly pretty boring.

 

[Intelligent Calcium]

The siren, she calls to me...

The siren, she calls to me...

Very Family Guy but fucking funny.

I want every half in the bag to have them trying to figure out a toy they've taken from the Nerd Crew room.

 

[Orkeosaurus]

It's really disappointing that they never considered doing anything interesting in the vidya department. Maybe use the steam roulette site as a kind of wheel of the worst? Instead we get Rich and Jack sitting there half focused on a game, half focused on conversation for 2 hours straight.

 

[cypocryphy]

Good lord, everything is either capeshit or a reboot. How can anyone be excited for any of this at all? I'm a cynical prick, but how much superhero shit can anyone watch?

This much

 

[Sinner's Sandwich]

At least Marvel Movies make money since Marvel comics is a sinking ship

 

[Replicant Sasquatch]

DC Studios' marketing department is run by the kinds of people who would unironically call someone a moralfag.

There was one time they forgot to download Nier before a stream so while that was happening, they played a $1 horror unity asset flip game. For about an hour of the stream they walked through the same rooms before looking at a guide which didn’t help because the controls were also terrible. There are weird quirky games that would be fun to play but I don’t think games can be bad but fun the same way a movie can be. A terrible game is a slog.
Rip pre-rec, their “the order 1866” is my favorite review of anything ever.

If Pre-Rec had something like Wheel of the Worst where they have to play random shitty games, then people probably would've liked it way more.

There’s a bunch of vinesauce streams of shovelware or bootleg android phone games. It’s compelling in a different way but not fun like the wheel usually is.
