On the note of Minecraft being so popular because of what you can build and being a demonstration of progress and comradery... It also gives you achievements, things to stab, things to set on fire, ways to blow things up, fear, villagers to manipulate and no one to punish you for ravishing the landscape in your desperate bid to strip mine and deforest every square inch in the effort to build that bigger better base of which you are so proud... so... yea.
well that was added in afterwards once the novelty of building wore off now we can build remakes of pre-existing video games with killing and stabbing and explodifying
lol I must be weird then. I only cut down a few natural trees, then the use the saplings to make my own tree farms. I like to spare the villagers and co-exist with them, protecting them from the beasts of the night. I don't strip mine unless I really have to make room for a large structure, and usually I mine everything underground in branch mines. And I also only build a small house for myself, and build a village around it.
I landed on an extremely hilly and densely forested biome then proceeded to mow down all of the trees, mushrooms and hills to turn it into flat terrain. Expanded a nearby village, made a farm and replanted the forest (just less densely) before I dug out massive 8 block tall caverns til I hit bedrock and used the cobblestone to build a castle around my city! I'm currently working on tower 6 of 8.
@@dawn_morningstar well all cods that take place in real life wars tend to tweak and maybe romanticize to an extent some aspects of history, like movies and tv shows, dan being a history buff would obviously hate all the inaccuracies and liberties taken
I have to say that Katie is an exceptionally talented actress. All four people at that table are uncommonly gifted, each in their own way, of course, but I often find that she stands out - mostly for her ability to land punchlines with aplomb. Excellent work, Ms. Willert!
Denmark made a live scale model of their country in Minecraft and opened it to the public - it got dynamited within a week. So much for that suppressed desire to destroy.
The Denmark model was actually destroyed by Americans, if you see the pictures, one of the main things that they did was put U.S.A. flags all over the place.
Weirdly, although "After Hours" was my favorite Cracked series, (followed by "Escort Mission"), I didn't find this particular video until November 3rd, 2019. I guess this one somehow slipped under my radar. I really miss what Cracked used to be. :(
I'm pretty glad they're pacing it.. for a little while there was a huge risk of burn out and cancellation. Then they switched the timing and the length around a bit. Its a great show. I'm hoping they never stop.. Just 30 years from now, Older versions of them all playing themselves complaining about current kids and their weird media.
mmm, I would say they just changed the scope. THey still have good banter, they just switched from multi topic to single topic ones. As its far more streamlined and easier
They definitely could do more with this tho like they have done shows and movies for a while should maybe shift there focus to games and other cool junk . A few drug episodes would prop be pretty funny .
"So you've taken a hobby that millions of people enjoy everyday and turned it into a stressful exercise" LITERALLY what being a Let's Player is like xD
General Townes my boyfriend literally does it as a hobby because it's something he enjoys. He can't even monetize stuff anymore due to the new UA-cam rules. So yeah it is still very much a hobby for some people.
@@ldragon8480 Well just because something can be done for a hobby doesn't mean its usually considered a hobby Taxidermists make money for what they do, and most would consider taxidermy a job, however, some still do it as a hobby. The same can be said for lets playing
Minecraft is less of a game and more of a canvass. It's like Legos in video game form. There isn't a purpose, except for goals that you yourself set up. I could never get into it. That being said, I become OBSESSED with settlement building in Fallout 4. This tells me that I need structure in order to thrive. Even in its most baseline forms. "We need food, we need water, we need some defense turrets, we need beds, etc.". This is what enables me to be creative. The drive to help those who need it. Also, does Minecraft actually count as highest SELLING if a lot of their copies were downloaded for free?
I'm disappointed they never mentioned The Sims. Now that is a sandbox game that doesn't have any rival. There is nothing like it. I do think The Sims actually outsell minecraft. At least they are always in the top. But The Sims always gets left out when people are talking about games...
You know what I love about Los Feliz Cafe? The special attention they give their customers. The waitress spends at least three minutes taking that one customer's order (beginning at 2:55.) Sure, some customers may get neglected (2:10) but they'll explain each of their 15 nightly specials to you in delightfully delicious detail. (Just look at that customer's unwavering smile.)
@@eddardstark5034 Skyrim doesn't have an ending either. Sure, you can win the civil war, you can destroy the bad dragon, but then the game just continues. There are countless smaller tasks and assignments you can spend your time doing before, during, after, or instead of the main mission. The dragons don't stop coming, insurrectionists like the Foresworn never die out no matter how many of them you kill singlehandedly, it's just a world of continuous violence and survival of the fittest. So in a way, Skyrim is a halfway point between Fallout and GTA. You're the hero of your world, the Dragonborn, favoured by the literal gods of that world to save it, but even then, your impact on your world is limited to individuals' lives, and you're just one of who knows how many Dragonborn in that world's history.
Yeah basically anything the after hours crew works on. I used to like the list guy, but he basically said that anybody who believed in aliens or ghosts was stupid or crazy and he ruined it for me. Also I just really dislike the New Guy, I can't remember what he did or said that made me hate him I think it was his Catan video, but I just can't watch something he's in.
Knowing that maybe you have an achievement because you are favored hurt their ego so they try to make it go away with saying it dont exist. Its kind of like winning a race against someone with crutches and one leg. Is that really a accomplishment
Why can't a Multiplayer RPG be a sandbox but Singleplayer RPG can be? Also, a themepark in this definition just means that there are clusters of mass activity, but that doesn't mean you can't spend your time in the emptier spots if you wish, especially for profession leveling, archaeology, fishing, exploration, and achievement hunting. Anyhow, sandbox is in itself a range of ideas, the ability to tear down and build anything in Minecraft is faaaar more sandboxy than what you can do in GTA, a themepark MMORPG would just be on the more structured end of sandbox while still remaining within that range.
It Can be... but WoW isn't. Something like EVE is. WoW is very on rails, almost by definition if there's an achievement or level for something, it's not a sandbox.
After seeing that video where Todd Howard awkwardly describes how he wanted to grow up to make games people loved (the chess club video) it totally makes sense why fallout and elder scrolls are structured the way they are with the main character becoming beloved de facto president of every faction they come across
To the people whining about "privilege in GTA5": they don't mean racial/gender privilege, they mean the privilege of doing whatever the fuck you want with no consequences. Chill the fuck out.
you should do one about how Gilmore Girls is like a day dream gone haywire. People's importance is pretty much declared by how good they look. Everybody seems super eager to drop what they're doing for the sake of the protagonists at the drop of a hat. And they all seem to have simple one dimensional personalities that can be summed up in a sentence.
The bit where Dan says "video games are weird" was actually funny, along with the nuke bit from Mike. I like the Prototype, Overlord, God of War and Infamous series. Those are games where you are top of the food chain, you pretty much take on all challengers and become the biggest and baddest dude on the block. Infamous and Overlord even give you choice on how good, bad or variable of bad you can be! And then there's Black and White, where you are GOD!
She also specifically said best selling game of all time period at 5:35. And given that it's actively being compared to the likes of Grand Theft Auto and Fall Out, the implication is all video games in general.
Also, doesn't Tetris only win if you're counting the dozens upon dozens of different versions of it made by completely different companies over the years? Does that really count as a single game?
floooooooooooooooood Except if you're going to include different games for Tetris, doesn't that mean for Minecraft you'd also have to count all the Minecraft clone games?
If Daniel loves Fallout 4 just imagine how he’d react to Fallout New Vegas. There you still get to make decisions with consequences but with much more of the philosophy and politics of every faction not to mention that fact that every character feels like a real person. Plus the fact it’s set in Vegas would be pretty appealing to Michael I guess
Crom Cthulhuson I actually meant to say "you didn't figure etc.". I figured that Most people that don't even play video games had heard of/seen minecraft before. I suppose you don't hang around kids that much then.
Think of it as the real world made of one meter square blocks of everything you see, dirt, sand, stone etc and you can move those squares around. Very similar to lego in a way, but gravity only affects a tiny few objects. The first tantrum any minecraft player has is when they chop down the base of a tree and it stays in the air, defying your logic.
Is there are particular reason, why Swaim said "(GTA V is) kind of like my life, with fewer strippers, but more dead strippers." 2:38 With "more" isn't he indicating there are dead strippers in his life. That's not a healthy lifestyle, not for swaim and definitely not for the strippers.
I never really thought about what the different types of video games say about people, but this was pretty cool. (Also, Starline's/Katie's hair looks great!)
Privileged is such a dirty word these days. I'm a tall person. I always got picked first for sports and I immediately get people's attention when I walk in a room. A lot of people think I'm more confident then I actually am as a result. I did literally nothing to deserve better treatment. I'm privileged in that way. I would be a dick if i told a short guy "I'm not privileged, you are just a hater. Are you saying that my life is easier and I did not deserve it?" What's if tall people conquered shorties a long time ago. it would sound even worse. What if the highest levels of society was all tall people except a token few. #perspective
Yes, in those respects you are advantaged. On the other hand, you probably have to mind your head more for low ceilings and you will have less leg room on planes and public transport. It would be useful if we generally distinguished between advantaged and privileged.
Ray Chadwick Good point. Fair enough. I just googled the definitions of both words and advantage works better for my scenario. The key difference seems to be whether society gives you special "privileges" or if you are in a better position to do something by having an 'advantage'. I think the two are often in conjunction with each other. Especially if there is a perceived "advantage" with a type of person. I actually suck at sports. Most really tall people have underdeveloped hand eye coordination when they are young. But people who didnt know me believed (stereotyping) Height=talent. Thus they chose me first. Advantage and privilege at work. The short person (who had talent) had to start at the bottom and work his way up to something that was just given to me. Even if I sucked the first time. They assumed I was having a off day. The short guy would be picked sooner but usually still behind me. At least until everyone "illusion" wore off and things became fair based on skill. Im a much better athlete now becuase I had ample chances to fail. That shorter person may have given up trying to compete with ridiculous standards.
+AfroSlacker But when they realized you suck at sports they stopped picking you first right? A perceived advantage isn't going to lead to privilege if you don't live up to your advantage, is it?
An interesting tid bit is that while Heightism is not one of the popular isms, it is still very much a thing for men. Tall men are more likely to be viewed as leaders, good romantic partners and athletes than shorter men. Which is why we are actually naturally selecting as a species for taller people.
You've people have obviously never played Minecraft. Sure you could build some really cools stuff, but you cold also blow up other player hard work, kill new player, build murder machines and lets not talk about the mooks who build phallic symbols around your base.
Magus Marquillin I don't hate India, but I DO enjoy seeing a man who preaches about peace totally kick everyone's ass and dominate. And then go back to aligning his chakras. But then again, Game of Thrones is my biggest TV addiction, so maybe I'M the sociopath...
Don’t hate me, but I prefer linear games, I have anxiety so a straight path is preferable. But my favourite sandbox game is Skyrim because it’s awesome
eh, not really something to be hated for, don't worry about it. hell, sometimes structure is good - i game a lot, and i don't tend to get 'far' in minecraft because a) i'm not that creative, and b) outside of some stuff, there's no overarching goal, so i just kinda dick around for a few hours, rinse repeat on new maps. i mean, i dunno how many sandbar island bases i've made that fell apart after i got enough iron for some iron tools and an iron armor set, just because i was like 'welp, what the fuck now' and sort of gave up and restarted a new map later. on the flipside, as an example of a game with a little more structure being good, i present the dragon quest builders titles - essentially minecraft concept with a DQ skin and some story and missions outlining what the fuck you're supposed to be doing. put hundreds of hours into these games, built various village styles and done a ton of work, just because it has a stronger base of what you're supposed to b doing than minecraft's 'here's a bunch of randomly generated shit, make your own fun'
what is she talking there are no consequences in GTA. if you kill or cause any trouble the cops will kill you. just because you don't stay dead doesn't mean you don't pay for what you've done. also if you're online and you die you lose money for your hospital bill. money that you worked hard for to buy a new car or place.
The actual consequences are astronomically much lower than in real life. The amount of just outright crazy shit you can do in GTAV isn't anywhere near the actual punishment you get for being "caught". That's the point. In GTAV, you can 'accidently' run over a handful of bystanders to do point of making sure they're dead and either very easily evade the cops, or pay a few thousand dollars almost instantly. And the do it again the moment you live the station.
They were talking about the outcome of your actions having an effect on the WORLD of the game, not consequences to the player. The comparison was: In Fallout, the things you do change the world persistently, If you kill a guy he stays dead, If you steal from someone they'll stay mad until you pay off your debt or kill them. In GTA the WORLD isn't effected by you at all in a PERSISTENT way, you steal something, drive until the victim de-spawns and the game forgets about it. No ones saying one game is worse or better than the other, it's just a comparison in the execution of games in the sand box genre. See, they discuss a singular topic on this show with multiple subjects, not a series of unrelated things that exist separate from each other in a vacuum.... In conclusion: "Comprehension skills, what're those?" - OP
***** "That's the appeal of the game. The first mission of the game is showing Michael getting a get-out-of-jail free card" And that's the point I was making, thank you. That's the whole appeal about GTA to begin with, and the game wasn't attempting to do anything but use it as a comparison to FO4, where there's a ton of different ways that your actions have direct influence over the environment. Even if it's also somewhat hallow.
Ok i realised why i like After Hours so much... I just got diagnosed with adult adhd and my head is just like this when thinking about an issue. Pace, intensity and over analysis of "small" things. :) love you peeps
SO HERE FOR ANOTHER EPISODE OF AFTER HOURS also “So you’ve taken a hobby that millions of people enjoy casually every day and turned it into a stressful academic exercise.” thanks Soren for summing up my sTRUGGLE
I just realized that Escort Mission probably takes place in the same universe as this one. It makes me want to see Michael's roomate interact with the others... then again I don't ever get the impression that Escort Mission Michael ever leaves his house so maybe I am wrong.
I think it's similar to WOW. You start off dying A LOT, but once you grow and you slaughter the things the USED to kill you instantly, begins it feel like you're accomplished something.
I was under the impression you could romance all of the human companions and when you do so anytime you sleep with them nearby you both wake up in the same bed. Is this not the case?
ABurntMuffin Didn't know that. I usually don't sleep in the game. I wait, or sometimes i find a single mans bed in the wild i use to regain heath. So it's the same thing as with Nova in Fallout 3? You know, that hooker you can pay to sleep with in Megaton in FO3.
It's not dialogue, just romance a companion, have them nearby, and then sleep in a bed. They'll wake up next to you and you get a buff called (if I remember correctly) Lover's Embrace. I don't know about you but "Lover" is a pretty clear indicator of their intentions to me.
minecraft is riddled with animal neglect and abuse, kidnapping/slavery, and the slaughter of creatures. Yes, it's a beautiful sandbox game which allows for miraculous feats of creativity and perseverance, but the only way to save villagers is to kidnap them, farms are often made specifically to mass murder creatures for profit, and if you possess animals they're inbred and generally in poor living conditions, like pits, because the actual cost for building them proper housing is way more expensive than the cost of pushing them into a hole in the ground without food or water (not that they'd need any)
I always knew that sentences are just words strung together, even if they lack cohesive meaning! Thank you for helping me with an argument in my philosophy of language class.
Weird how you're just building a wall, holy Tetris is a Trump simulator, you don't really have as much money as you'd like and you get to repeatedly attempt and fail to build a wall.
What a contrast! This is pure gold comedy, then you go back one video and you see the previous one (non-After Hours video of course) they made and you think: "What the fuck went wrong?!"
On the note of Minecraft being so popular because of what you can build and being a demonstration of progress and comradery... It also gives you achievements, things to stab, things to set on fire, ways to blow things up, fear, villagers to manipulate and no one to punish you for ravishing the landscape in your desperate bid to strip mine and deforest every square inch in the effort to build that bigger better base of which you are so proud... so... yea.

well, at least you are aware of it!
haha.. kinda puts the whole "first" commenters into perspective, no?
"my comment has a bibliography" is the FUNNIEST THING I'VE EVER HEARD
To the people whining about "privilege in GTA5": they don't mean racial/gender privilege, they mean the privilege of doing whatever the fuck you want with no consequences.
Chill the fuck out.
you should do one about how Gilmore Girls is like a day dream gone haywire.
People's importance is pretty much declared by how good they look. Everybody seems super eager to drop what they're doing for the sake of the protagonists at the drop of a hat. And they all seem to have simple one dimensional personalities that can be summed up in a sentence.
The bit where Dan says "video games are weird" was actually funny, along with the nuke bit from Mike.
I like the Prototype, Overlord, God of War and Infamous series. Those are games where you are top of the food chain, you pretty much take on all challengers and become the biggest and baddest dude on the block. Infamous and Overlord even give you choice on how good, bad or variable of bad you can be!
And then there's Black and White, where you are GOD!
i would have shit myself laughing if Micheal yelled "GLORY TO ARSTOTSZKA!" at the end
Actually Tetris is the highest selling game of all time.
They said Computer Game, specifically.
She also specifically said best selling game of all time period at 5:35. And given that it's actively being compared to the likes of Grand Theft Auto and Fall Out, the implication is all video games in general.
Also, doesn't Tetris only win if you're counting the dozens upon dozens of different versions of it made by completely different companies over the years? Does that really count as a single game?
The core gameplay that people enjoy and are drawn to is the same throughout all versions. That's what really matters when it comes down to it.
floooooooooooooooood Except if you're going to include different games for Tetris, doesn't that mean for Minecraft you'd also have to count all the Minecraft clone games?
This was a good video. Props.
Ahhh, I see what you did there.
+Raul Diaz use a single word with dual meanings and mean both? That's nothing to dignify... It's just grammar
Dreaded Daisy
But it's clever...
No, no it was not.
J K well opinions are legion i guess.
This video quoted one of the co-founders and heroes of my org, the DSA. This is now my favorite youtube series!
Is it bad that I tear up a bit when Daniel asks Michael to play video games with him? CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT!!!!
If Daniel loves Fallout 4 just imagine how he’d react to Fallout New Vegas. There you still get to make decisions with consequences but with much more of the philosophy and politics of every faction not to mention that fact that every character feels like a real person. Plus the fact it’s set in Vegas would be pretty appealing to Michael I guess
So, Pokémon is really a eugenics simulator then?
ha "large scale cock"
animal cruelty simulator.
dont like a pokemons stats, breed it, store it in a box for the rest of its life.
+F0r3v3rT0m0rr0w And real life hoarders. Gotta catch em all
+Diego Villatoro I'm actually trying to complete the national dex at the moment xD I was just being sarcastic.
A major problem in Minecraft is the people who do nothing but destroy others' creations...
Not true, I just last week built a giant penis that shoots creeper face shaped jizz
It's not really a major problem since you can have a private game sessions with just friends.
That's not a problem. That's just a different way of playing the game...
I was really hoping someone would bring that up as a counterpoint haha
That's like calling kicking over sandcastles a legitimate beach activity because it's "just a different way to play on the beach".
5:18
Me whenever my professor blazes past a complicated topic at 5 billion miles an hour to cram material before tomorrow's exam.
They really need to do more video game related stuff, I have been waiting so long for them to do this.
What... what if I just like Overwatch porn?
You like Tracer's butt. That's all.
Adhi Wicaksono Don't call Mei shit. That's inappropriate. Mei is a wonderful person who doesn't live up to Tracer's bottom.
Many Dog Show me a man who doesn't like Tracer's butt, and I'll show you a liar.
Gay men. Boob men. There are a lot of men in the world, I'm sure we could find at least one.
Well they should just be honest with themselves. Deep down they will find the truth.
So Minecraft is the video game equivalent of Lego?
Yeah, you figure that out like 6 years ago when it first got popular? Damn dude you're slow.
*****
I'm even slower, I figured it out now while watching this video.
I don't play video games.
Crom Cthulhuson I actually meant to say "you didn't figure etc.". I figured that Most people that don't even play video games had heard of/seen minecraft before. I suppose you don't hang around kids that much then.
*****
I've seen images and I've had people try and explain it to me but it just hasn't clicked until now.
Think of it as the real world made of one meter square blocks of everything you see, dirt, sand, stone etc and you can move those squares around.
Very similar to lego in a way, but gravity only affects a tiny few objects. The first tantrum any minecraft player has is when they chop down the base of a tree and it stays in the air, defying your logic.
“Highest selling game of all time!” Except Tetris.
Is there are particular reason, why Swaim said "(GTA V is) kind of like my life, with fewer strippers, but more dead strippers." 2:38
With "more" isn't he indicating there are dead strippers in his life. That's not a healthy lifestyle, not for swaim and definitely not for the strippers.
I never really thought about what the different types of video games say about people, but this was pretty cool. (Also, Starline's/Katie's hair looks great!)
Minecraft is a world to create things? LOL
*sets up TnT and lava to destroy everything*
Ikr. I'm obviously doing it wrong.
weird, i usually tnt the heck out of a place to make a beautifull planned river or lake..
YAY CONTROLLED CHAOS!!
so you created destruction
***** no, i created a big hole, and filled it with water, to build a city ON a lake
Some men just want to see the virtual world burn.
I'm surprised that they didnt touch on The Sims franchise becaus I just like to create families with background stories and stuff
Don't get me started on World of Warcraft culture. I broke the addiction after being a 1% gold seller for 3 years. I had a complex...
"From now until the end of time"
Aged like milk
I like Katie's new hair style. Also Michael's got a good thing going with his facial hair. Also, cracked is bae.
Privileged is such a dirty word these days. I'm a tall person. I always got picked first for sports and I immediately get people's attention when I walk in a room. A lot of people think I'm more confident then I actually am as a result. I did literally nothing to deserve better treatment. I'm privileged in that way. I would be a dick if i told a short guy "I'm not privileged, you are just a hater. Are you saying that my life is easier and I did not deserve it?" What's if tall people conquered shorties a long time ago. it would sound even worse. What if the highest levels of society was all tall people except a token few. #perspective
Yes, in those respects you are advantaged. On the other hand, you probably have to mind your head more for low ceilings and you will have less leg room on planes and public transport. It would be useful if we generally distinguished between advantaged and privileged.
Ray Chadwick Good point. Fair enough. I just googled the definitions of both words and advantage works better for my scenario. The key difference seems to be whether society gives you special "privileges" or if you are in a better position to do something by having an 'advantage'. I think the two are often in conjunction with each other. Especially if there is a perceived "advantage" with a type of person. I actually suck at sports. Most really tall people have underdeveloped hand eye coordination when they are young. But people who didnt know me believed (stereotyping) Height=talent. Thus they chose me first. Advantage and privilege at work. The short person (who had talent) had to start at the bottom and work his way up to something that was just given to me. Even if I sucked the first time. They assumed I was having a off day. The short guy would be picked sooner but usually still behind me. At least until everyone "illusion" wore off and things became fair based on skill. Im a much better athlete now becuase I had ample chances to fail. That shorter person may have given up trying to compete with ridiculous standards.
+AfroSlacker But when they realized you suck at sports they stopped picking you first right? A perceived advantage isn't going to lead to privilege if you don't live up to your advantage, is it?
An interesting tid bit is that while Heightism is not one of the popular isms, it is still very much a thing for men. Tall men are more likely to be viewed as leaders, good romantic partners and athletes than shorter men. Which is why we are actually naturally selecting as a species for taller people.
After Hours - Escort Mission crossover please!
You've people have obviously never played Minecraft. Sure you could build some really cools stuff, but you cold also blow up other player hard work, kill new player, build murder machines and lets not talk about the mooks who build phallic symbols around your base.
Honestly I'm just ecstatic to see a new After Hours. They're my favorite thing Cracked does, period
glad to see you brought back the animations!
comparing WoW to a skinner box? This was ripped right off of an old Cracked article-
Oh.
i dunno why but this actually made me laugh through my nose a bit, so congrats.
What does Civilization say about me?
Well?
WELL?
You are the type who likes to sit and wait. He who laughs last, laughs the loudest.
You have a power complex and Gandhi hates you
You want Gandhi to murder everyone because he's secretly a sociopath? Oh wait...no, that's just me
It says you probably hate India. But maybe you're the better one to answer that.
Magus Marquillin I don't hate India, but I DO enjoy seeing a man who preaches about peace totally kick everyone's ass and dominate. And then go back to aligning his chakras. But then again, Game of Thrones is my biggest TV addiction, so maybe I'M the sociopath...
Katie has always been so beautiful
What's wrong with animal fat? And to be honest, it's the hair that get's me. Love that look and she's got the face for it, not all girls do.
+Diego Villatoro Ha
In this episode Katie has decided to become a lesbian from the late 1980's
I hate her hair now. She looks like my aunt >:
Not really a fan of the "girl mistaken for Ferris Bueller" look though.
Such a great episode Damn I need more after hours
And the script for "Free Guy" was born....
Why does Alex have to sit outside? Poor Alex.
Don’t hate me, but I prefer linear games, I have anxiety so a straight path is preferable. But my favourite sandbox game is Skyrim because it’s awesome
eh, not really something to be hated for, don't worry about it.
hell, sometimes structure is good - i game a lot, and i don't tend to get 'far' in minecraft because a) i'm not that creative, and b) outside of some stuff, there's no overarching goal, so i just kinda dick around for a few hours, rinse repeat on new maps.
i mean, i dunno how many sandbar island bases i've made that fell apart after i got enough iron for some iron tools and an iron armor set, just because i was like 'welp, what the fuck now' and sort of gave up and restarted a new map later.
on the flipside, as an example of a game with a little more structure being good, i present the dragon quest builders titles - essentially minecraft concept with a DQ skin and some story and missions outlining what the fuck you're supposed to be doing. put hundreds of hours into these games, built various village styles and done a ton of work, just because it has a stronger base of what you're supposed to b doing than minecraft's 'here's a bunch of randomly generated shit, make your own fun'
what is she talking there are no consequences in GTA. if you kill or cause any trouble the cops will kill you. just because you don't stay dead doesn't mean you don't pay for what you've done. also if you're online and you die you lose money for your hospital bill. money that you worked hard for to buy a new car or place.
i never had to pay when I die
The actual consequences are astronomically much lower than in real life. The amount of just outright crazy shit you can do in GTAV isn't anywhere near the actual punishment you get for being "caught".
That's the point. In GTAV, you can 'accidently' run over a handful of bystanders to do point of making sure they're dead and either very easily evade the cops, or pay a few thousand dollars almost instantly. And the do it again the moment you live the station.
+Greyghostvol1 no fucking shit sherlock, if the consequences were equal to real life then you'd never play again after your first kill
They were talking about the outcome of your actions having an effect on the WORLD of the game, not consequences to the player.
The comparison was: In Fallout, the things you do change the world persistently, If you kill a guy he stays dead, If you steal from someone they'll stay mad until you pay off your debt or kill them. In GTA the WORLD isn't effected by you at all in a PERSISTENT way, you steal something, drive until the victim de-spawns and the game forgets about it. No ones saying one game is worse or better than the other, it's just a comparison in the execution of games in the sand box genre.
See, they discuss a singular topic on this show with multiple subjects, not a series of unrelated things that exist separate from each other in a vacuum....
In conclusion: "Comprehension skills, what're those?" - OP
***** "That's the appeal of the game. The first mission of the game is showing Michael getting a get-out-of-jail free card"
And that's the point I was making, thank you.
That's the whole appeal about GTA to begin with, and the game wasn't attempting to do anything but use it as a comparison to FO4, where there's a ton of different ways that your actions have direct influence over the environment. Even if it's also somewhat hallow.
Ok i realised why i like After Hours so much... I just got diagnosed with adult adhd and my head is just like this when thinking about an issue. Pace, intensity and over analysis of "small" things. :) love you peeps
SO HERE FOR ANOTHER EPISODE OF AFTER HOURS also “So you’ve taken a hobby that millions of people enjoy casually every day and turned it into a stressful academic exercise.” thanks Soren for summing up my sTRUGGLE
"Uploading six videos a week from now until the end of time-"
...now, I'm sad.
jesus christ katie is getting really hot.
Getting? Is!
She had more make up, and was overdressed for a diner chat. Just saying.Looked good, though.
okay
+The Solmanian I mean - same with Swaim?! Look at that painted mug... 😘
daniel will always be my senpai
New Vegas is best Fallout. Just putting that out there so we can set the record straight.
50/50 between 3 and NV
2 and New Vegas are the best.
The order goes: 2>NV>1>4>3
Fallout will always revolve around the west coast, Bethesda's universe doesn't feel like Fallout to me.
and fallout 4 is really no-ware near as good as people seem to think
I'm partial to 3.
I just realized that Escort Mission probably takes place in the same universe as this one. It makes me want to see Michael's roomate interact with the others... then again I don't ever get the impression that Escort Mission Michael ever leaves his house so maybe I am wrong.
Would have been nice to see them analyze over weird and terrifying things people do in sims lol
So what does dark souls say about me?
comically wise your a masochist
OOOHH!! OOOOH!!! I've got this.
It says you are...
a dark soul.
sorry not sorry
Masochist
That even tho u got gud u must always strive 2 GIT GUDDER!
I think it's similar to WOW.
You start off dying A LOT, but once you grow and you slaughter the things the USED to kill you instantly, begins it feel like you're accomplished something.
1:15
You can't have sex with Cait from fallout... Can you?
I was under the impression you could romance all of the human companions and when you do so anytime you sleep with them nearby you both wake up in the same bed. Is this not the case?
ABurntMuffin Didn't know that. I usually don't sleep in the game. I wait, or sometimes i find a single mans bed in the wild i use to regain heath.
So it's the same thing as with Nova in Fallout 3?
You know, that hooker you can pay to sleep with in Megaton in FO3.
ToddB didn't know that... Weird. she is my favorite companion.
How does she imply that you have had sex with her?
It's not dialogue, just romance a companion, have them nearby, and then sleep in a bed. They'll wake up next to you and you get a buff called (if I remember correctly) Lover's Embrace.
I don't know about you but "Lover" is a pretty clear indicator of their intentions to me.
Yeah i agree....
So you can give Cait the D.
Alright. I have to try that. :D
What's Skyrim then?
Matt Cyr lame
A mix between gta and fallout
"Every week from now until the end of time...."
:(
"That's right. My comment has a bibliography." I can't. I can't. So good, O'Brien!
My favorite is fallout *continues to talk about the worst fps installment in the fallout series without ever talking about the great ones*
Lord Pennysworth Von Higglesby that makes sense
I find it funny how they talk about power and freedom and proceed to talk about the least free Fallout game
What are you talking about XD?
Lord Pennysworth Von Higglesby i wouldn’t say that, but yeah, fallout 3 is one of the weaker and more linear nufallouts
@Fake Gmale It's obviously 4 they're talking about. It's shitastic.
New Vegas is best, followed by the first 2, then 3, then 4.
If you're favorite game is Portal 2, that means you're a pervert. Trust me, I have a lot of evidence supporting this and little to the contrary.
Ok, I'll bite. Why is that?
Yeah I'm confused what he means too. He has a portal related channel picture so... he is also a pervert?
I'll take the clickbait too... Why is this?
But your comment doesn't have a bibliography.
***** I'm a girl.
omg... really? gta is about checking your privilege?
No they explicitly say it's about the joys of NOT "checking your privilege" with basically unlimited resources
SO glad you guys are back!! I adore these vids
Love your new style Willard!
Tetris is bigger than Minecraft. Just sayin'
Because it has been bundled with various operating systems, that's not real sales.
+Stormwern tetris has probably influenced the world way more then minecraft although minecraft have also had a effect
*than
water has probably influenced the world even more than tetris
I'm not so sure tho
they said computer game
minecraft is riddled with animal neglect and abuse, kidnapping/slavery, and the slaughter of creatures. Yes, it's a beautiful sandbox game which allows for miraculous feats of creativity and perseverance, but the only way to save villagers is to kidnap them, farms are often made specifically to mass murder creatures for profit, and if you possess animals they're inbred and generally in poor living conditions, like pits, because the actual cost for building them proper housing is way more expensive than the cost of pushing them into a hole in the ground without food or water (not that they'd need any)
Katie is getting more beautiful every year, good for her
Jim Heeren I’m sure she’ll sleep with you know
End of Cracked Utube Universe
thanks for the original Cracked hoodie plug. Nice to see a mention of from whence you came.
Please stop with the privilege talk. You are better than Buzzfeed, you dont need that lowest common denominator vote. Good video otherwise.
shut up
They aren't talking about white or male privilege, just the privilege of your actions not having serious consequences in GTA, which they really don't
+Sam Baggaley Being so dismissive without an argument, looks really privileged.
You're way too easy to trigger if someone just has to use the word "privilege" to make you flip out like that.
I always knew that sentences are just words strung together, even if they lack cohesive meaning! Thank you for helping me with an argument in my philosophy of language class.
But Tetris has outsold Minecraft
Weird how you're just building a wall, holy Tetris is a Trump simulator, you don't really have as much money as you'd like and you get to repeatedly attempt and fail to build a wall.
unless your actually good at tetris.
+the gaming the better you are at Tetris the less wall you have at any one time.
***** yeah I think you're all missing the point.
Tetris has also been on about a dozen different systems with more than 20 years on Minecraft.
2:47 period on a highway and launch a jetliner through the center
grossssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Pyramid
What a contrast! This is pure gold comedy, then you go back one video and you see the previous one (non-After Hours video of course) they made and you think: "What the fuck went wrong?!"
I've NEVER seen this episode!? I've watched since the show inception and this is the FIRST TIME I'VE SEEN THIS EPISODE!!
What a wonderful treat.
