It does demonstrate my ability to recognize successful critics that work on YouTube. Yes.Revolutionary said:

Anita and youtube success should be used carefully since her success doesnt stem from her viewership but more from her notority that she achieved through other media outlets... she is in no way or form comparable with angry joe or total biscuit. She neither has the audience, nor the viewers... and sure as hell is not as productive as either of those two.
Heck spoony one has still more of an audience then she has and reaches more people.
If you argue that she has a bigger presence in traditional media then those two however, you would be correct indeed.
But to claim that people actually listen to her or think her critic and commentary holds any value? Yah no... people like to put her on a pedestal or use her as a shield.. her message however is routinely ignored or prettied up to justify her pedestal positioning.
For example total biscuits currator lists on Steam do have a real impact... Sarkesians however? Yeah you can hear the crickets on her lists.
A recommendation from angry joe or TB can boost sales of a game, a recomendation from anita does nothing.
On the topic of the strip itselfe.... yeah... i noticed that too.
First one i followed that did it was Spoony one and some others that had an arrangement with channel awesome (phelous for example)... but he pretty much allways had "geeky" or "nerdy" stuff in his shelfs around him.. so you cant really blame him. But more and more people on youtube think that this is a good way to proof that they are knowledgable just because they have a ton of plastic crap in the background.

I'm not sure which is worse - the idea he has multiple toy skulls just set up around his house, or he just has the one and moves it from location to location for each segment.maninahat said:
Agreed. The lag crashes my game.vallorn said:
OT: Maybe it would make more of a statement if the shelf of old games behind some start-up are all MVS cartridges. You'd probably only fit 5 or 6 in a shot, but that builds credit with hipsters and actual people!
I remember that Kane lookin' ************. I always felt like I needed a wash after seeing any of his videos.maninahat said:
OT: I wonder how much some youtubers spend on background clutter.
