thread of tim rogers content (do not read if you hate tim rogers)

The sheer amount of video editing he must do for these is pretty intense

shooting zombies is the vegetarian version of murder

his story about jonathan blow (#4, braid) is interesting and kind of sad

this is one franchise I just solidly dng

yeah, i don't really like disney that much so i got really bored about 3 hours into the first game and never came back

lol, though, that video is great, one of his very best

he's pretty OTM there

lol after all that kotaku made him do their review of the game anyway

It’s good

i wish it was a video review, i much prefer him in video format

Those take him like seventy times as long is the thing. I still like his writing. I want his novel to come out.

ciderpress, you're in luck

thats not a scripted review its just bonus footage & ad-libbing

Tim Rogers ad libbing is more entertaining than most prepared material tbf

Another person who rules is Gita imo

I dig the whole Kotaku crew; Paul Tamayo seems like a very chill dude

However, Tim is the only one who I'll read a novella-length review of a game I have no interest in ever playing (e.g., Kingdom Hearts)

I truly don't even know what he's going on about this time but I love him all the same

this one gets away from me a bit too much but i like the part about god hand

lol, he references kael in the first fifteen seconds

"yet, if games is turds, these turds happen only after a community collaboration"
you gotta like this guy

i gotta get somethin off my chest: every single time i see the letters “PHD” i *immediately* say “Paul Homas Danderson” and “Philip Heemore Doffman” in my head simultaneously

silby makes a cameo in his e3 predictions vid

Star treatment really, I was flattered

lol congrats!

haha, just watched that and was wondering if that was ilx's silby

Accept no substitutes

is his face as punchable IRL?

he looks and acts the same irl as in his videos if that's what you're asking

<3

I'm love him

Maybe his best work yet

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wA7O6aNzLLw

sold me on it
i prefer not to watch him talk though, triggers some rough highschool flashbacks

oh dear

you went to hs with him? or just generally?

also, i guess related (ppl who went to school with tim) did anyone ever listen to the insert credit podcast way back when he talked about going to college with j*red f*gle? because holy fuck. i think it was a couple years before dude got caught being a creep and tim just talks for 15 minutes about how much of a creep dude was

hmm no i think i misremembered. episode apparently came out around the same time as the bust.

no i didn't actually go to school with TR, I just mean to say i and most of my friends were luminous cave newts in glasses who would expostulate nonstop with one another in eltingville-style logorrhea-offs about video games and seeing him free verse about kojima gives me the fear that there's a pop quiz in spanish

Happy to listen to him talk though! can just pass on including his face in the story. no offense!

i totally get that. there's nothing that throws me into a rage faster than someone who acts like me at some previous stage in my life. it's like FUCK OFF MAN

yep. i have no greater scorn for anything than what i used to be. Looking forward to hating current me in the future.

That was really enjoyable. "In other words, like all video games, Death Stranding is *exactly* like Dark Souls. It should be called 'Tark Souls.'" Extra amusing to me because I've never played any Metal Gear games and only know them from one or two iterations of Smash Brothers, where the guy always reminds me of Snake Eyes from GI Joe, and what few clips I've seen of this one seem the farthest from a sneaky ninja assassin game, so it's hard for me to make a connection between that concept and whatever the hell this game seems to be. So I guess I'm ... excited? Curious? Certainly entertained by the simmering hype.

More people should review games months before they play them.

incredible stuff

Watched that this morning; did not check the TRT before I started lol

that kingdom hearts "review" is a masterpiece

his video review of Death Stranding is another one

tim on pokemon:

excited to watch that tonight…

just tim timming all over the latest podcast, in post. use caution if you like tim rogers.

i will probably finish it. it's just so ludicrous. Frank's audio is missing, and so he fills in the spaces in the conversation from his famously great memory.

Loved that episode and all the credit in the world to editor esper for making it even slightly comprehensible

Yahueh!

This sounds amusing, looking forward to it.

Brandon's upcoming game "Demonschool" has a demo on Steam if the urge strikes you. Looks pretty neat... a retro tactics game with some Persona flavor

I played a little of the demo, it's cool. The combat system is neat, the art & music is beautiful. Every character seems to talk like Brandon, though.

I mean this without any disrespect, it’s great whatever way, but Frank’s podcast Video Game History Hour is fantastic to fall asleep to.
