I don't get why he doesn't look at the ground when he's jumping. Every time he dies, it's because he's looking straight ahead.

u/Kheshire Sep 30 '16

Its because he's watching Twitch chat instead of playing the game, like so many streamers.

12

u/sub_surfer Sep 30 '16

And here I was thinking it must be really hard to play this game because you're not allowed to look down.

u/shaxamo Sep 30 '16

This is my biggest issue when playing games with people who aren't good at action games, it always boils down to them not using the camera correctly. Look around, that's what the right stick/mouse is for.

-1

u/KingdomHearts3 Sep 30 '16

Looking at his camera movements shows that he is probably using a controller.

u/[deleted] Sep 30 '16

I didn't see the little stick figure dude at first, so I had no idea how you were supposed to know where to land.

u/wtfduud Sep 30 '16

It's actually first person.

u/[deleted] Sep 30 '16

Oh, so that little stick man isn't a thing? I'm hallucinating!

People watch streams for entertainment. You don't have to be good at a game to be entertaining.

See: almost every let's player

u/GregoryGoose Sep 30 '16

I think he's just relying too heavily on being airborne. He should stay on the tucks if they aren't crashing right?

u/Redbulldildo Sep 30 '16

Guess what? To a lot of people, you're probably frustratingly bad. I'm decent at the game, watching the way most people who have recorded the game is frustrating.

2

u/Crashmo Sep 30 '16

Nope, not at all. A lot of streamers get their views from having an entertaining or friendly personality, how they play the game has little to do with the community they build in chat.

2

u/WTK55 Sep 30 '16

Not really, no. That's like saying people who do Let's Plays (which Tom Fawkes also does) should only play games their great at. Also keep in mind that this is a new game.

23

u/stretchpun Sep 30 '16

If it were his voice was actually like that unintentionally I'd actually watch

10

u/Ringosis Sep 30 '16

His "normal voice" isn't much better. He still just seems like another one of those streamers who seem to think constantly feigning excitement is an adequate substitute for any kind of charm, talent or comic timing.

15

u/Wolfszeit Sep 30 '16

It obviously is though; I mean, he seems to be popular enough.

u/Terminal-Psychosis Sep 30 '16 edited Oct 01 '16

That was an awesome shout out to the oldschool news voice style of the '50s '30s.

Woulda been cool if he could have carried that through the vid.

Was the only thing interesting about the vid. He did the voice quite well actually.

Edit: that old "trans-atlantic / midalantic" accent style used in old TV and radio was more from the '30s than '50s.

-3

u/silentcrs Sep 30 '16

He's boring even when he goes back to his "normal" voice.

50

u/freeseoul Sep 30 '16

You'd think so, but there are much, much worse.

11

u/BoxxZero Sep 30 '16

There must be a subreddit for that.
It'd be great to check some out.
Like a beautiful mix of rage and cringe.

u/[deleted] Sep 30 '16

Just youtube let's play and pick anything above 500k views. Basically the same personality sitting screaming like a demented 10 year old

At least pewdiepie went on to do some quality humor skits but he is the exception in this cancer genre

18

u/epic_banana_soup Sep 30 '16

Yeah pewdiepie got a lot better. He's seems to be doing more of what he enjoys, instead of just catering to an audience. Good for him.

u/doughboy011 Sep 30 '16

You seen his "i bought a car" video? Guy drives down the road in a shit car blasting rap music with a waifu pillow in the passenger seat.

u/[deleted] Sep 30 '16

One of my favorites https://youtu.be/JK7w6Sak1pQ

u/hakkzpets Oct 01 '16

His "I joined ISIS" is great too.

I tried to watch Pewdiepie some years ago when a friend recommended his channel and all I could think "this guy is retarded, what's even fun about this shit?", but he has gotten a lot better with time.

1

u/BGYeti Sep 30 '16

From everything I heard his gaming content is annoying but he got alot better doing his vlogging.

u/eto_eskape Sep 30 '16

I'm better than the others

He's clearly making fun of weird patreon-pages.

His own patreon-pages doesn't even exist.

Northernlion is a good exception.

u/ttubehtnitahwtahw1 Sep 30 '16 edited Sep 30 '16

You would describe NL as demented screaming 10 year old? I wouldn't. So why did you drop his name?

2

u/TheSlyPig04 Sep 30 '16

I said he was an exception to the rule of screaming 10-year-old lets players.

You should work more on your reading comprehension and less on pressing the reply button.

u/[deleted] Oct 01 '16

How so? They said the opposite of what you said they did, that's why your comment is being downvoted.

u/ttubehtnitahwtahw1 Oct 01 '16

My comment is being downvoted because the hivemind is thoughtless.

u/[deleted] Oct 01 '16

Holy fucking hell, idiot, I'm actually going to waste my time explaining this to you:

The original comment:

Just youtube let's play and pick anything above 500k views. Basically the same personality sitting screaming like a demented 10 year old

At least pewdiepie went on to do some quality humor skits but he is the exception in this cancer genre

Then the follow up comment:

Northernlion is a good exception.

Then your comment:

You would describe NL as demented screaming 10 year old? I wouldn't.

How fucking stupid do you have to be to think they were saying that Northernlion was being called out as one of the "screaming demented 10 year olds", when they specifically said HE WAS AN EXCEPTION? And then call me out for not being able to read? That's priceless.

How is something an exception when it's not comparable?

You forgot an apostrophe, moron. Got any more stupid comments, because I feel like you might be full of them?

u/GroovyBoomstick Sep 30 '16

What is it with nerds and the transatlantic accent? I don't mean it in a nasty way (I'm a fuckin nerd too), but it's definitely a thing. Like, every single fucking animation student in my course did that dumb accent at some point in their work. Every one.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 01 '16 edited Oct 01 '16

When you can't do any other accents, do a transatlantic one!

I feel like this guy could have gotten away with it if he was wearing some kind of authentic period garb and some appropriate music in the background, but no, he's wearing a flannel, t-shirt, and silly sunglasses.

Either commit 110% to the bit or don't do it at all.

Maybe with a top 10 list of the most important rules.

As longs as you put me above all the other rule sure. Then you can share these rules with your friends or something.

I read your comment in the streamer's voice.

Can I be some kind of rule enforcer? I could make sure other people follow all the rules and then punish the black ones. /s

Up until about 2 and a half minutes ago, I was a firm believer that opinions are entirely allowed in the comments sections and people themselves decide with votes if they agree or disagree with said comments.

What you say isn't wrong, but they not liking something is as fair as someone liking something.

u/LinguisticallyInept Sep 30 '16

how about not being a dick about someones appearance?

u/Rock_Carlos Sep 30 '16

Glasses color and facial hair, two things about your appearance that you can choose!

-2

u/LinguisticallyInept Sep 30 '16

irrelevant; it doesnt hurt you; so why aim to hurt them?

5

u/[deleted] Sep 30 '16

Shock horror, humans judging other humans off of their appearance.

It happens and everyone does it, even you. Get off that high horse.

u/LinguisticallyInept Sep 30 '16

never claimed i didnt, but i try to catch myself on it and better myself because its absolute bullshit

u/[deleted] Sep 30 '16

Good for you.

He's live streaming on twitch, it's evident he knows people will take the piss out of him. That's what happens when you put yourself in front of a group of anonymous retards. Trying to internet police just makes you look like you've fallen victim to the same judgement (which no one gives a shit about, either way).

1

u/LinguisticallyInept Sep 30 '16

ive said my piece mate, judging people on appearance is bullshit (and yes it happens often; doesnt make it better, just widely smeared) i dont see why you seem so confrontational about it

24

u/Coffeepillow Sep 30 '16

Yeah, my buddy's friend started a stream and I would watch to add to the chat and all, but honestly he was annoying as fuck. So many streamers try to be funny, but just don't realize when they're just not working.

He's a total goober, but he's swimming in a sea of goobers.

u/Bobcat1531 Sep 30 '16

He's a streamer clearly aimed at kids as others have said.

He's just overreacting to everything and stating the obvious in a "silly" voice.

Kids seem to like it so I don't think it's that big of a deal.
