Eh, this weeks poems just didn't do it for me. Yahtzee's seemed way too blunt and snarky to end the way it did (maybe if it ended with a "Yeah. It's for you. You know who you are." that might have made it work for me) and Jim's was quite similar but I'm not sure what could be done to it to make it work for me. Sort of unusual that both would miss my range in the same week - maybe I should go out and buy a lottery ticket? Hmm.

Eh. No Adblock for me, so at least when I watched the video the Escapist go paid.

Some men would prefer to not be told they're wrong. Some men want to watch the world burn.

o.o ...

I know not who this person is, but I have clear been missing nothing worthy of note if his 'act' (I assume its an act cause if its not I wonder how he's still alive) is rocking a style of humor that has pretty much killed my interest in big Hollywood comedy's.

IE: being as stupid as you can be to the point on not functioning.

I wonder if Yahtzee's poem has anything to do with the current debate in Australia and New Zealand around cyber bullying.

http://www.change.org/en-AU/petitions/the-australian-government-charlotte-s-law-tougher-cyber-bullying-legislation

Background: Charlotte Dawson was a TV presenter who suffered from depression and recently committed suicide. She was also the target of some fairly awful abuse on twitter.

As a result, some people feel there needs to be tougher laws on cyber-bullying, but there has also been a significant backlash against what other people feel is an unreasonable curtailment of freedom of speech.

Personally, while I feel bad for anyone dealing with the kind of harassment she experienced (and no, "she brought it on herself by being on twitter" is not a valid excuse), I think this kind of law is a gross over-reaction, and I wonder if Yahtzee feels the same.

I can't imagine who that would be. ¬___¬

Not only did Jim's American accent make me laugh, but the phrase "exploit buggy English" was particularly clever. :)

Man, if he's faking it, then he deserves a lot of applause for being the most dedicated actor on the planet.

It's like, if you watch a couple of his videos, you'll think "Well obviously he's faking it, it's too audacious and exactly like somebody would exaggerate it to make fun of this kind of person."

And then you realize that this is how he acts all of the time. Every single video, on all social media, every day, even when somebody's talking about what it's like meeting him in person.. I don't think anybody could put up such a charade with such dedication for so long.

I enjoyed Yahtzee's bit, it certainly wouldn't be that great to have no criticism, then we wouldn't have the chance to listen to these two nuts.

And Jim......I liked the poem, I really did, the accent was good, but I have no idea what that was...
Yahtzee's was dark. Jim's... I have no clue. Who was that supposed to be? Some Youtube personality that I haven't heard of?

Oh I see.

Yeah... gotta say... the old proverb still stands here. If you have to explain the joke... Sorry. :(

Jim won this round. I didn't even know he watched Dark Syde's Lets Play videos. In fact, I'm still trying to figure out how I managed to survive watching some of Dark Syde's LP videos.

I did not explain the joke. There was context some people did not have, because that is how parody works.

If you're gonna sling proverbs around, make sure you understand 'em first. :)

Has nobody watched Erik the Viking? No-one?! Good lord!


Hy Brazil has been cursed so that if anyone ever spills blood on it, it will sink into the ground. As a result, they're all "Tewwiby, tewwibwy" nice to each other, and they never say anything that might offend each other. Like, for instance, saying things about that singing...

Man, that was a great film.
