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

omg lol

I absolutely must play this game now.

this game seems like it is good

When you're doing the part of the game that isn't interrogating people it's pretty stale

But it's a great game world for the era. Really cool version of classic LA

He's streaming tokimemo rn on Twitch if anyone's interested:

Forgive the thread spam, but I wanted to note that Action Button is nominated in the 2020 ILX TV poll:

ILX's Best Television of 2020 Poll / VOTING AND CAMPAIGNING THREAD / Voting Ends After January 29, 2021

If you like this show and you'd like to see it have a good showing in the poll (running in February) all you need to do is submit a ballot including it and your other favorites (3 minimum, 25 maximum, ranked by your favorite to least favorite) to forksclovetofu at gmail. It'll take five minutes; get to it!

Looking forward to the review of baseball

baseball rules in part because every turn contains a massively dreadful opportunity for infinity. baked right into the design are questions whose answers involve "idk man somebody's arms'll fall off first". anyway please anticipate my review of BASEBALL, coming 2025-ish https://t.co/GE8LZxUKiY

honestly, this would be the ultimate tim rogers review for me

I have zero interest in baseball, but I'm sure he'd make it compelling. And then I might come away with *a little* interest in baseball.

i would like to make a 3 hour tim rogers-style parody video, raving about baseball. then convince some of you to join me to watch a game, only to watch that you absolutely hate it, still (my experience with yakuza)

Finally going through Pac Man a segment at a time, it's excellent.

Love to hear his disturbingly specific memories of his early '80s childhood renting NES games from the video store, very resonant for me

He has beyond photographic memory, he said something like "I remember everything that's ever happened to me and I hate it"

theres a vid where he describes the first hour or so of link's awakening screen by screen from memory

I assume everyone who's ever written a memoir has that strong of a memory, if I wrote a memoir it'd be all "I suppose I went to school…I had some birthday parties…"

latest updates have been wild

go through this thread if you like tim rogers

i made a massive patreon post about this, so here's the tiny twitter version: the cyberpunk video is REAL GOOD (and huge). it's gonna take another month. it's the best thing i've ever made, so please wait a little longer so i can finesse it! expect it week one of august. pic.twitter.com/RYUJc8VIqX

"i played 110 video games total for this review" lol

glad to hear the 'season 2' reviews are going to be shorter, i still much prefer his old 20-40 min kotaku videos to the new 3 hour format. 20 mins is still a lot of content!

Yeah, all of that seems like good news!

I'm stoked

about season 2 and that he has finally forced himself to only work 40 hour weeks but also for whatever the hell this cyberpunk review will be

ciderpress I hear u and you're right but also the tokimemo review was worth every stinking minute

also i'm sure shorter videos still means like an hour long at this point

yeah

Can't wait. Action Button was the best discovery from the 2020 "TV" poll!

New episode 10/10 at 10. So this is gonna be 10 hours, huh

next sunday is october tenth. i don't care if you're from the united states OR kingdom: that is the best possible day for me, a Video Game Critiquer, to release a hideously massive video review of @CyberpunkGame. i will take no further questions. sunday 10/10, 10am eastern. pic.twitter.com/UqxmtIEKGv

Delayed once more

Thematically appropriate (and for tech issues to boot)

per patreon - tomorrow, 6pm eastern, opening segment on twitch.tv/actionbutton and once that's done airing (including a twist?!), the entirety of it goes up on the YT. sounds like it's split into two vids due to processing issues. but i think it's really real this time!

i hope the twist is that he decided to review a different game

lol the stream didn’t even show up until almost 20 minutes in, and then there was a big STAND BY screen until almost 6:30, and now he’s… drinking a Coke

this is getting dark

be well, tim

are you fucking kidding me tim

i got worked

Trashcan Jerry!

This is already hilarious

Games are becoming every game

SEVEN REVIEWS

......

ok he actually just put it on YouTube. i was pretty sure the computer was going to blow up or something

chapter 1’s killing me

spoiler: he does talk about how keanu reeves is great, and should not be blamed for anything, for 28 minutes :)

any time the development team size is mentioned (“cyberpunk’s development team was 1/4th the size of rockstar games’ for red redemption 2’s development team”) it absolutely boggles my mind that they were planning on hitting all platforms on launch

jesus christ wtf

absolutely in awe of tim’s gaming rig. it’s the only system capable of capturing the cyberpunk footage we crave tbh

i'm gonna follow the instructions and watch parts 5 and 6

this has been worth the wait

lol got the bad ending

So the first hour is truly just the intro, huh

the bad ending turned into the true ending, now i have permission to watch the whole thing
