Can someone tell me if the Vice documentaries are worth watching or if they're just sensationalist garbage?

Both.

[injurai]

Old Vice was fantastic. Seriously dangerous stuff, fucking eye opening journalism.

Now... it's a mixed bag that seems to provide more narrative than they used to. They used to just drop a story in your lap and let you digest it all yourself.

I liked the North Korea one but it's no different than many of the other ones.

Smith Needed McEness. Sorry but Smith is near shit tier without him.

The salt surrounding Blake Shelton is hilarious. I also can't really tell if all the white mediocrity stuff on Reset era is for real or not. Only since the trump era has a white man been put on Peoples magazine sexiest man alive cover. It's just a paid advertisement, People's shitty rag isn't the actual arbiter of sexiness. These people turning it into some political statement around Trump's America or white supremacy are nutzo.

Also everyone is beautiful, expect Blake. He is a fat, ugly, racist, wife beating alcoholic like all other southern men. I see hotter people at my local Seattle or *insert approved location* gas station.

Disgusting that People Magazine would just suddenly throw away their journalistic credentials like that all to serve their political masters in the White House.

Klepeck and Walker always seemed like very opportunistic people that were merely climbing the ladder from job to job.  While I hated Klepeck on Giant Bomb (I have an admittedly totally irrational hatred for the dude) I actually enjoyed Austin's stint there.  I could tell it was nothing more than a stepping stone for him and Patrick as well, though.

I'm SUPER interested to see how they handle this news.  They are usually the first with hot takes on anything related to the social side of gaming - silence, or even a "we can't talk about this for legal reasons", is going to make them look hypocritical to the max. 

It's "interesting times" to be working at Waypoint right now.

Austin is way better than Patrick, I agree. But yeah, it was obvious that they cared more about getting better reputation than being true to their own ideals, compare stuff that Austin wrote pre Giant Bomb.

[Himu]

What stuff did Austin Walker write before Giant Bomb

He clearly made Vice what it was. But I don't think he'd return the same. He want from fuck everyone, to fuck particular people.

I quite enjoy the VICE UK stuff. the us stuff can be hit or miss.

They had a great one on Nigerian scammers, that really stuck with me.

Old Vice sucked too. The word 'hipster' has been thrown around for years to the point of total dilution, but when it was just a mag Vice was the epitome of the worst aspects of hipster culture. Apart from occasionally tripping over an interesting writer or article, they were more interested in fawning over the same bullshit everyone hated about Brooklyn a decade ago. I blame them for making shit like trucker hats and Death From Above 1979 acceptable

I was checking out GAF and their OT community sub still has threads on the front page that haven't had a post since the 6th. Gaming has some that go back to the 10th.

[nudemacusers]

Everyone: please stop posting about dogpiles, "embarrassing" posts, witch hunts, the old place, "we're supposed to be better", etc.

This is no less toxic than the knee-jerk reactions or other bad posts we've seen; in fact, it's worse. Why? Because a knee-jerk reaction is at least sincere and in good faith, though it is misguided and can be obnoxious. But misguided reactions can be corrected with facts. Whining about dogpiles, witch hunts, etc. is more about making yourself sound superior than actually contributing anything.

We're going to start cracking down on this kind of smug shitposingt a bit more in the future. For now, please stop it and get back on topic. You can agree or disagree with Cranston without insulting the rest of the community. Thank you.

lol @ the bolded. pls. good to see moderation does not care about literal fake clickbait 'news' being posted (the end quote originally provided was FALSE), and is ok with garbage hot takes and suspicious witch hunting (what else to call it when you have people suggesting bryan cranston has something to hide himself?), but no, it's the people pointing out how stupid/cancerous it is.

fiction in case you wander back in here, this continuation and tacit approval of behavior in that thread and similar, just like in the forum that shall not be named, is a major turn-off and why i've yet to sign up and probably never will. oh well. back to reddit.

[Rufus]

Yikes. Talk about bloated.

I only know about this guy from Metal Gear videos 3 or 4 years ago and the channel looks totally different now. It looks like he's pumping our several videos a day about the latest gaming controversies? Gotta get them views I guess.

Yeah. He leaned into Mass Effect Andromeda as well when that was still steaming. Can't fault the guy. If only he learned how to edit this stuff down.

[benjipwns]

It's incredible how people are suddenly so willing to talk about rehab and forgiveness for sex offenders... when it comes to their favourite celebrities.

Take any thread about an average (as in, non-celebrity) man who gets caught with kiddy porn but never touched anyone, and you'll get unanimous condemnation and hate and how he should be branded for life.

Kevin Spacey actually molests kids, and has shown this behaviour for decades and was never stopped until now. Oh it's Kevin Spacey, uhhh... Let's talk about forgiveness and rehab. And by rehab I mean expensive spas for super-rich people (with pool and fitness centre, of course).

Jarate wears off after a few seconds, it's not for life breh.

[benjipwns]

Having only recently really looked at some of these gaming channels out there I get the distinct impression that they just record a bunch and "edit it" after but since the recording wasn't organized or planned beforehand they can't edit it really. Seen it in some political channels too.

Contrast with dunkey, who apparently writes out a scriptment of sorts at minimum, then has a clear idea of what he wants to put forward. So he can edit it down to sometimes just two minutes or so.

Although some people do that and still produce unwatchable 30 minutes videos. (Not taking any content into account here, just the editing/structure.) I get recommended so many people at times and I look at one of their videos... My favorite example is Stefan Molyneux because he just stands in front of a wall and talks endlessly in near circles for half an hour or more. Or at least he used to, I haven't watched one of his videos in years because the first time scarred me forever. I'm looking at his video list and of the ones that aren't topic images (95% now) do indicate he still stands in front of a wall for 15+ minutes. On a content side note apparently he's gone from just barely understanding anarcho-capitalism yet claiming it as his ideological position to running some kind of pro-Trump cult about the need to protect nations from immigrants. I report, you should not ever watch to decide, this is just what wikipedia says.

And yet they closed down that thread suggesting that users should be allowed to display their (I assume confirmed) race on their posts.

I haven't kept an accurate tally but Era member count seems now stable at 29k for the last days. Don't know if it's open reg or pending approval GAF style but I guess that's the core of users who transitioned more or less. Given the ratio of posts on Gaf and Era, it seems somewhat reasonable to infer Gaf had 33k to 40k "active" posters before the exodus.

29k users, but the preferred mouthbreathing, reliable social studies warriors that advertisers approve of. It's rough times with Spacey and Fogle and all.

Speaking of which, when do the ads kick in?

Resetera just shot themselves in the foot.

I don't know how much the rest of you know about privilege culture (I'm an expert..I'm white bitches), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in America where you can become successful by being an asshole, like Tyler (he's bi). If you screw someone over in Resetera, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance. With coupous apologies and echo chambering.

What this means is the Resetera public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase "neoGAF II: The Showering" for either system, nor will they purchase any of Resetera's games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Resetera has alienated an entire market with this move.

Resetera, publicly apologize and cancel "Dude Brah 2: My Shit is Fucked Up so I got to Shoot/Slice you It's straight up DAWG Time" for neoGAF or you can kiss your business goodbye.
