they havent played division 1, theyre just hopping into it in this video without ever playing the game (is this a stream vod? like im not being a dick)
also it opens up with HA HA GAMERS AM I RITE THEY SUCK LOL
id just like people who ARENT ASSHOLES playing games like NORMAL HUMANS
i want things from a marxist perspective but that doesnt mean i want constant 101 marxist analysis (which there hasnt been any so far, just character creation and cops suck i guess)
okay now they’re describing the plot of the division 2, you know the obvious stuff ‘kill all looters to keep peace’
ah yes more cops are bad, very good analysis
four and a half minutes in and they’re figuring out if you can crouch or pet the dog (memes!)
okay im stopping there has been infinitely more said about this game in the piss baby arguements on this forum
yeah like the reason its such a waste of energy to do any analysis of the game from a marxist perspective or whatever is that ultimately it really doesnt have that much to say and most of your analysis is going to be “death squads are bad! i dont like cops.” like go play fucking far cry 2 or something or literally anything else
for the life of me I don’t understand why the impulse to do “a marxist reading of X” always entails restating the most obvious points possible in eight million identical-by-this-lens contexts
Does anybody actually know what’s the story behind Means TV? The channel is where the Nyan Cat meme video was originally uploaded and had a couple of other shitpost videos to it but gained a pretty sizeable subscriber count as a result. Sometime around 2011 it deleted a bunch of them (always leaving Nyan Cat around though) and relaunched as a sketch comedy channel that lasted for a year or so (I think the only one the sort of went viral was the fake infomercial one where they poured acid on a guy’s balls?). 2 months ago I got the first Means TV video in my feed and they’ve again completely changed relaunched as this general leftist thing with the only evidence that it was ever anything else being Nyan Cat still remaining.
Okay, so it’s obviously just one of two possibilities and neither being very interesting except for if the original channel owner is still involved or just sold it off. I just wanted to write this down somewhere to have it leave my head.
Oh I see what you mean. People who play more simmy games in fun ways.
I forget the dude’s name but there’s @VastleCania’s boy with the giant shit volcano
donoteat is actually a politics youtuber and not really a videogame youtuber but he talks about urban leftism using Cities Skylines and has an absolutely great voice
ddrjake and florryworry are like 5% casual gamergaters (just two or three occasional snide comments in like hours and hours of an LP) but they are REALLY good and play hilariously awesome games of EU4. ddrjake in particular has a non-annoying voice and commentary style, florry is a little more “up” and abrasive but not bad imo
I don’t watch this guy constantly but he covers classic sega and I find him (and his voice) very charming.
He trys to be philosophical but comes off a little like Lawrence from office space.
