There's something kind of fucked about ranking systems where everybody who is used to school grades see anything 7 or less as garbage.
she's such a fake gamer she played the whole game, unlike a real gamer like the quartering who didn't play it
gamer to the maximum
He still pumps out like 30 videos a week cause he's basically a content farm for geek outrage, its unlikely he has much time to play any games or be informed about anything, his whole career is pushing his own agenda on any topic, takes advantage of every facet of geek culture (games, movies, comic books) without having any passion for it but goes around claiming and shaming others for doing exactly what he's doing
I'm a bit late, but:
There's no chance that those videos take more than twice their runtime to post. It looks like he opens up OBS, records a rant in one take, and then plops an endscreen on it. Assuming an average of 10 minutes per video, each taking 20 minutes to record/render/upload, that's about 10 hours of work in a week for 30, which is *extremely* generous. I'm sure he spends three times that on social media and considers it brand work or research, so I guess we can say he 'works' for 40 hours a week if we really stretch the definition.
With his utter lack of production value, it would be genuinely insulting for him to claim that he "doesn't have the time" to play games. Hopefully that statement stays a semi-joke in your comment, else he's probably convinced thousands of people that he works hard on that garbage, which is a scary thought.
so here's the thing, i've been aware of his content since 2018, but i'm not convinced he's something such as, "far-right". i believe he's an idiot, but i want to argue that being anti-sjw =/= nazi. i'm not an anti-sjw myself; i've been very critical of the "community" for awhile now, in that they do the same stuff as sjws, but there's nuance in every argument. that's my mindset.
on an unrelated note, bobvids said, "there's no such thing as an objective review", but he contradicted himself by broadly stating, "all reviews are subjective" < this is an [objective] claim.
i'm a subscriber, so this comment isn't from a place of negativity.
@@Kirobsi 30 is an exaggeration. it's more like 1-2 per day, 3 on occasion. roughly 7-14. it's more than i can fathom, but it's not 30.
@@Redditaurus I was just using the joke metric that OP gave, "He still pumps out like 30 videos a week," and yeah, that is an exaggeration - hence me calling the calculated amount of 'work' he does in a week extremely generous. Whether or not it's accurate was irrelevant. That he (probably?) does much less than that strengthens my point anyway, as there's even *less* room to claim he's doing a lot of work, thus he absolutely has tons of time to play games. Unless he works another job...? But I'll go out on a limb and say he almost certainly runs a Patreon and gets loads of money from it.
As an aside, bob saying "all reviews are subjective" doesn't contradict anything, as he isn't reviewing reviews. Besides, it's important to remember that what one presents in a review adds to this subjectivity. Even if the review is solely substanceless, objective claims, the decision to review a particular work isn't also objective, they still had to choose it and decide it was worth talking about. This extends to what the reviewer goes on to mention in their review, because given aspects have to be deemed important enough to include. Point is, even regardless of the contents of their statements, it's already built to be subjective. Stating as such, then, isn't a stretch, and it's a fairly easy conclusion to come to with some thought.
Making the claim that all reviews are subjective is leagues different from stating that a given game mechanic or narrative idea is objectively good/bad anyway - they aren't comparable. One is about the nature of critique, the other is about what makes people like a piece of art. The latter varies wildly, but the former is, at its *least* concrete, a philosophical discussion about which parts of a review come from one's subjective experience. It's a little silly to conflate the two and accuse bob of somehow being a hypocrite when they are fundamentally different.
@@Kirobsi know what? you're right - in some sense. english isn't my home language so it's sometimes difficult for me to discern a joke from a serious point. on that note i digress.
as an aside, i think there _can_ be objective reviews. i'm not sure how to thoroughly phrase my thoughts, but i'll try.
on bobvids' take, "this game runs at 30 fps", then "30 fps should be 60", if one makes a strong enough position, then "30 should be 60" could be turned into an objective statement. suppose it's a button-mashing game, one could argue that the lower fps makes actions slower/more difficult, which in turn, is detrimental to the gameplay. in the events that it's a combat game, players must be on higher alert than if the game were to run at 60 fps, as their character's movements aren't as smooth and fluid as most games in its genre.
this is my hypothetical, objective take; i could better explain my hypothesis, but again, i'm not a native anglo so my words aren't the best conveyor of thoughts.
on the subject of "all reviews are subjective", i can't remember whether or not i called bobvids hypocritical, thanks to my short memory. if i came off that way, i did not intend as such. the way i saw it, is, this can be interpreted as an objective assessment, unless stated otherwise. if this his message is [subjective], then this creates a loophole wherein [some] reviews CAN be objective. get me?
I love how most of his criticisms of her review outside of the score are "well it's a zombie apocalypse" as if part of the reason we tell those kinds of stories isn't to analyze the lengths people are willing to go to survive and that somehow morality ceases to exist as a human concept the instant society collapses lmao.
Literally the most common theme of a zombie apocalypse anything is "are humans the real monsters?"

@@DoctorUber Same thing with Uzaki Chan.
Idk it was a pretty fun game and I still play it. I hate the quarterings "content" but I think Days Gone had very solid gameplay.
Days Gone is one of those games I would describe as having a "cult following" in that a certain subset of people have latched on to it. Some may think it's mediocre and that would be as valid an opinion as would people saying they loved it. It's most likely never going to get a sequel, which I'm sure will further cement its cult status among those that love it.
@@peterang78 oh god, no
The Quartering isn't even a gamer, he's just an anti-sjw outrage grifter. Jump on what ever bandwagon will give him most clicks. Every video of his is the same boring mess, he'll even swap sides on the issue depending on which one ends up being pro-woke a given week. Watch his videos criticizing gamefreak about Pokemon, then flip flopping next week to attack the fans over them not liking "insert vague woke topic"
I would go as far as to say that he's not an anti sjw grifter, he's just a grifter. Fucking hate his content.
I had someone jump my ass in a thread a few months ago for making this point about Jeremy, and they had to tell me that he has renounced his anti-SJW ways. I *still* can't get my old Twitter account back from 2014, these assholes got me and dozens of other people doxxed and harassed and I know I have never gotten any kind of apology from any of them. Him not being as open with his misogynistic hate train is not the same thing as having actually reformed.

Everyone knows TRUE gamers don’t actually play games and just complain about SJWs in gaming
Love how he calls it a "woke review" when, after reading it, the only "woke" things I can identify are 1) it was written by a woman who 2) gave the game a lower score than he felt it deserved. Can't say I'm surprised tho. The Quartering and all the ~GaMeRs~ like him genuinely cannot fathom how someone could give a low score to a game they themselves like. The only possible explanation to them is that it's some nefarious "SJW" plot. It's just ironic how the people most vocally obsessed with objectivity and keeping emotions/politics out of games are often themselves the most subjective and ruled by their emotions/politics.
Womans existing and doing things is woke culture for these assholes. In other words: "sJwS tUrK er viDyA gAeMz"
I'm a fan of his an sub to him and most of your points are right, however it's usually good to not make generalizations about groups of people
@@Ayyem93 the quartering does the same thing. I dont hate him I just kinda dont care to see him on my feed. He might not have content for me but the magnificent beard can stay lol
I'm sick of 'woke' reviews and lazy 'it's got a white male protagonist therefore bad' conclusions, and there is plenty of nefarious 'SJW' bullshit to be found on numerous review sites but, just like how those reviews are shoddy and boring criticisms, these videos are simply the inverse opposite of that. The criticism shouldn't be 'leave your feminism at the door!' or 'politics has no place in video games!,' it should be a clear demonstration that the review fails to meet its mark on its own terms; 'saying that saying that "white male = bad" is bad' is just more of the same shit from another dull and thoughtless angle.
I don't care if someone is an 'SJW' or an 'Anti-SJW,' I care if they can make a coherent point and justify it.
@@iamjurell Which reviews say the game is bad explicitly because the character is white and male? I am very curious.
What politics is thequartering accusing Kallie of injecting into her review, or is the mere thought of woman playing videogames political to him
Latter option most definitely.

I still come back to this vid every now and then for a watch. Seriously, it's like a refreshing dose of sanity in the sea of stupidity that is the capital G gamer crowd.

He actually never said the review should be higher. And his criticism was was she didnt even beat the game or bother engaging with the game's functions.

@@yourpal4l you mean like your messiah Bob here? i suppose if you didnt have double standards, you wouldnt have any standards at all.
I also like how, in his critique of her review, he bashes it for "just talking about the story," when the last 2 bullet points of her summary are about the gameplay being bland and poorly paced.
So, no, she ALSO said the gameplay itself was bad, but he just stopped reading before addressing it.
I haven't played Days Gone so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the game heavily story based anyway?
Yeah, they split up reviews by sections and he's literally complaining that all the text he's highlighted in the "story" section of the review...is just talking about the story...
My brain hurts.
The gameplay wasn’t bad but the pacing absolutely is the weakest part of the game.
For those wondering, The Quartering(formerly Magic: The Quartering) is the guy who got totally removed from the MTG community after being aggressively sexist and shitty to women within the community. So this is all on brand for him.
Sadly many people still within the MTG community see him as a good person and it's baffling. He's responsible for bullying a cosplayer out of MTG and it's sad to see him still somehow be popular enough to influence the likes on another channel's videos.
Wow. I did not know this. He comes off as a reasonable yet create great points in arguments kind of guy... I'm disappointed to know this about him.

@@aniforprez What's your problem? Yes I did. Im just saying how I viewed him in general. BEFORE this video
I always knew he was a douche. The way he comes off is so snobby and thinks he's always superior in every argument and argues that SJWs has tapped into every facet of life.
@@aniforprez Read his comment again. You're quoting him as if he's dumb but you can't even read his comment to understand what he meant.
This guy got super mad that a woman gave the game an average review because 1) she's a woman, 2) she said the story's male protagonist wasn't super compelling and the story gives him a little too much moral leeway and 3) she doesn't do that thing other game reviews do where mediocre games sit at around a 7. All of this based on a game he hasn't even played. Delightful
When he’s talking about looking out only for yourself during an apocalypse the quartering sounds like that generic walking dead villain who betrays the group and leaves one of its members to be eaten by zombies
It's such a strange thing to claim, too. There's no such thing as a typical reaction to an apocalypse in real life. There's only how people like to write characters in an apocalypse.
It's so weird to see a character in fiction act a certain way in a fictional scenario and take it as a statistic that applies to real life instead of storytelling.
Someone who actually cares about the story would see this and think "this cutthroat outlook and selfishness probably says something about Deacon's character".
Sort of like how the Quartering claiming that acting like a generic walking dead traitor villain is normal probably says something about him as a person..
Or those doomsday peppers that horde gold or just plan on having some resource to barter with so they can become the post-apocolypse king.
@@Kth77That actually sounds like a decent idea.
The sad thing is that he still manages to be successful, so there's no incentive to change and be a better human (least of all that whole "being a decent person" thing). He doubles down because it's a legitimately profitable option. This dude is one of the many personifications of the tragedy of the commons.
Unsubbed to The Quartering long ago, he is not a real journalist, he just reads from websites and call that a video.
I can't remember who said it, but I heard once (or more) - "The Quartering doesn't actually watch, read, play or engage with any of the media he talks about and has already admitted so. He simply rides any waves on anything that is either popupar ou that his fans tell him to talk about."
It's all clickbait material. Ragebait. Proof and evidence doesn't matter. His followers don't care if he didn't play the game. If you look on his Twitter feed, they're well aware of it and even crack jokes about it. This isn't about video game reviews, it's about getting angry at the "woke" people who have the WRONG OPINIONS. UA-cam feeds on anger:

The Quartering - One of those people who make me feel like I have to say "I enjoy video games, but I'm not an asshole about it" when talking about my hobbies.
I was yelled at a couple of weeks ago on a non video gaming site, but a board game site about asking if the cons are LGBT friendly. The video game world is pretty hard of people like The Quartering. A lot of people said the Boardgame world was not like that until I was yelled at about making it a thing...when it wasn't a thing, but made sure to tell me he didn't like I was gay.

Burning a tattoo does not make it go away, it makes it sink into the skin deeper and makes it more permanent, this is a fact.
After public fires - ie. nightclubs - where people are burned, tattoos are used as a way to identity corpses due to them being easily viewed.
Tattoos are removed via laser not because it burns but because it superheats the metal in the ink and explodes it. I know this for truth because I am currently undergoing the tattoo removal process.
Really? You were you able to write this comment in the middle of a tatto removal? Impressve!
@@golden_2196 not really, you've got to do something whilst you're sitting there.
I even videoed it to show my mates because they're all covered and were curious.
Wait, so if you have tattoos and get horribly burned, rather than the skin becoming disfigured obscuring the image, you’re tattoos remain just as clear and visible as the day you got them? The only change in the superficial view of the tattoo is they sink into the skin deeper” making something that’s permanent “more permanent”? I ask because I think you mistake the purpose of “burning off a tattoo.” It’s not to remove it as in it no longer exists, it’s to obscure the image so the image no longer exists in an extremely painful way to teach a lesson. It’s why in your tv show example, the tattoo was “removed” by a gang and not a doctor.
@@allnightfright619 that's exactly what I'm saying, yes. There was a nightclub fire in America a few years ago in which every body was so badly burned, immediate physical identification was impossible.
What the coroners had to do was look at the tattoos of victims and pair them up with local tattoo artists to speed up the identification process. Your skin doesn't grow outward when it burns pal, it's not fryer fat.
It recedes due to the loss of liquid and drying out of the skin making the tattoo *more* visible.
@@allnightfright619 also the burning would not obscure *OR* remove the image in any way.
The reason they do it is because the gang own the "patch" and former members are not allowed to wear or use it. However television rarely gets medical issues right and often go on the same sort of assumptions you are going of.
Ie. It sounds right therefore it must be right, it is, however wrong. Burning a tattoo does not obscure it. Yes it will be a punishment but it will not remove the patch.
Also the more permanent thing I said might not be very eloquent but it's true, tattoo ink can "fall" and be broken down by the immune system and fade very easily due to UV rays if too close to the skin, pushing it deeper into the skin protects the ink and makes it more secure.

Even the OBJECTIVE Review you do at 9:10 contains some subjective stuff. Calling the protagonist "Caucasian" means using a socially constructed and not-universally accepted view of ethnicity.
Honestly I'm not sure that "protagonist" is non-subjective.
So basically: "Days Gone is a video game in which there are characters". There we go. Perfect review.
I mean 'Characters' implies that you're subscribed to the idea of media tropes so 'invented individuals' is a more apt term.
I don't think I'd go that far regarding subjectivity : both caucasian and protagonist have definitions you can refer to without relying on feelings to define them.
Taking Caucasian, one of its definitions is "A person having light-colored skin; a white person.", so it would definitely apply in that case, no matter what one's views on ethnicity are.
As for protagonist, wouldn't it be possible to demonstrate that said character is the main one ? As he's the main focus of the story, the player plays as him , etc. It wouldn't rely on feelings either but on objective elements. Though I may have missed something.
@@SouvSan But if a word has multiple definitions, it can't be used objectively. Caucasian really means "from the Caucuses Mountains", and even when it means "white", it is open to debate, and the answers have changed over time. Are Italians white? Are Irish people? The answer used to be no. So the question "Does Little Orphan Annie have a white protagonist?", does not have an objective answer because when it was written, the Irish weren't "white". What about Jews? Most European Jews are Ashkenazi, which means they have middle eastern ancestry....what does it mean to call them "Caucasian"?
If a Swedish person has one black grandparent, are they Caucasian? What about one great-grandparent? The answer is not objective.
I'm REALLY not trying to give you a hard time here, I'm just showing how even something so apparently obvious is subjective.
What about "Protagonist"? Well even that is iffy. Who is the Protagonist of "The Princess Bride"? Who is the protagonist of "The Phantom Menace" or of "Fury Road"? I've seen it argued that the protagonist of Infinity War is Thanos, even though little of the narrative takes place from his point of view.
You can even apply this to games - the one that gets cited most often is "Bioshock: Infinite", where the story is most definitely "about" someone other than the player character.
Hugh James-Berry Sure, but “white person” isn’t any less of a social construct than “Caucasian.”
@@pavarottiaardvark3431 I don't see how a word having multiple definitions makes it impossible to be used objectively, as long as one clarifies what definition they're using. Going back to the "Caucasian" example, and defining one by "A person with light-colored skin", an Italian could either be Caucasian or not, as the only thing that would classify them as one or not would be said skin color. Same thing no matter the nationality or ancestry, despite how silly it might sound. That definition might however become outdated in one, ten, or a thousand years from now on. Should the case happen, my statement "Deacon is Caucasian" wouldn't be objectively true anymore.
However now that I think about it : even with that definition, the case could be made over what classifies as "light-colored" : where do we set the limit to 'how light must said skin be to classify as light-colored', and how ? And going by the definition of 'light-colored', it'd still be "having a >relatively small< amount of coloring agent". I'd be objective by saying that someone has a lighter-colored skin than someone else (either objectively right or wrong), but saying "they have light-colored skin" would rely on a value judgment (light-dark, heavy-light, tall-small) so it'd still fall under subjectivity.
... So scratch my first paragraph except for the multiple definition aspect, because the definition I used of "Caucasian" relies on subjective elements anyway.
Regarding the use of the word 'Protagonist', I was gonna argue that the game leaves little doubt as to who would classify as one in comparison to the works you've mentionned, but then again that'd still leave the question open to "how 'main' does a character have to be to become the 'main' one". I think the case could be made that no one else in the game suits that definition as much as Deacon, therefore making him the protagonist 'by default', but I'm not convinced.
Btw, thanks for the food for thought, and sorry for the rambly nature of my comment.
As someone who follows the Magic the Gathering scene, this is only slightly worse than Quartering's usual fare, and only because he literally contradicts the very thing he is looking at at 3:10
Beyond that this is exactly the level of reasoning that one should expect from him.

So Magic is kind of ok right now, the latest set has as three signature Planeswalkers and only one of them is male and the other two are women of colour. They are also reprinting MtG's first trans character (from 2015). In some fandoms this would cause a major tantrum, but not here.

You do realize that "admitting to being a grifter" is a common way that alt right dudes can defend themselves, right? They're not actually grifters, they just say that so they can pretend they're not racist/sexist/transphobic/etc
@ArtemisCroc It is not actually common for anyone to admit they are con men. You are thinking of the "it's just a joke" excuse, but a joke and a con are not the same thing. Or to put it another way, the joke excuse is part of the con.
@@TheSkyfolk Being a grifter doesn't come by accident. The people who're doing it know they're doing it. Whether they admit to it is another issue. But it certainly doesn't absolve them of being racist, sexist, transphobic etc. if they do. No one who isn't a racist or a sexist is going to constantly pander to that audience. People like TheQuartering know their audience and agree with them. He doesn't like women just like they don't. Which is why he frequently refers to them as "whaman".
@@LadyDeSelby Yeah, but he also recently dogwhistled to the alt right on twitter, a nazi twitter user responded saying they noticed and appreciated the nod and the quartering liked the response. So he is actually covertly far-right
@@LadyDeSelby Being a con man is way less damning than being a white supremacist or a woman-hating chauvinist. You don't get blasted nearly as hard for just saying "Oh I just pretend to think this way for money." If you think otherwise you're naive.
"People like The Quartering push for any personal preference or beliefs to be taken out of the review."
Close, but not quite. People like The Quartering push for any personal preference or beliefs to be taken out of the review unless they match their own.
I read this comment at the exact same time as it was said in the video. Spoopy
@Reckless Ted thats sounds like 99% of the internet these days! *Looks to UA-cam and channels such as Geeks+Gamers, No Bullshit, TheQuartering, much as I love his content - Jim Stirling*
Let's not forget the time when he praised Doom Eternal for having a political immigration joke.
@@Peasham Don't think I saw that one... But the whole Doom Eternal debacle - Yeah, I think I had already had my fill of that form other channels. Let alone Activision / Blizzard
Ah yes, SJWs and and anti-SJWs, two sides of the same hatecoin
Aaaah yes. The Quartering, the most literal example of the stereotype of "shitty chud anti-SJW 'gamer' dude". This guy's been working the grift for a while now, but I'm pretty sure he's just floating on due to inertia by this point. What with him having getting dunked on for so long.
ALL OF THIS!
Ever since I heard of Quartering, I immediately have this type of description to describe his content.
Paling with Sargon of Akkad certainly helped him. Not sure how long that will be sustained though.
@omniscient xt what are you talking about?
@omniscient xt What ideas? Did Brie Larson wipe her ass again, and therefore he had to put out his 40th 10+ minute video about her?
"Don't bring sjw politics into your reviews/media" is a form of politics.
Apparantly, it's only when other people do it. Not when they do it.
Real world politics shouldn't be in fictional works of media. That kinda destroys the whole "escapism" thing, ya know.
@@FifinatorKlon yeah but escapism for one person can include real world politics. It can give something more depth. Their is so much media out their that has real world politics in its DNA. I think the issue many people are having is that their version of politics is being challenged and it makes them uncomfortable. Politics are in all media. I saw a really interesting GDC talk where the speaker was working with Bungie on the original Halo series and was talking about how Bungie initially called the Arbiter the dervish (basically analogizing the Covenant with Muslims and the UNSC with Christians or the west) Bungie to their credit changed the name but you have to wonder how much of the war on terror influenced the story of the Covenant in Halo 2. Not to mention the entire Battlefield and COD franchises etc etc. Hell politics are a huge reason why people played Wolfenstien. I think the "escapism" argument is convenient way for people with differing ideology to tell the other side to shut up. Btw im not sure if you were being sarcastic so dont take this personally.
@@alirohani2687 This is false IMHO. Yes, politics are part of many a game. But it used to be all fictional politics, not agenda pushing of real world politics and forced insertions of things which do not fit a games universe just to make sure you included X.
Look at the ratings of games which are toxic levels of agenda pushing of real movements and politics and you will see how gamers hate it.
Yes, nobody cares if the Russians in CoD or Battlefield invade the country because there is next to no reasoning behind it painting anyone as bad beyond saying one side is the aggressor, the other the defender and one side having named characters and the other just NPCs.
Also, something seems kinda wrong about having certain population groups as tokens in order to make them sell better. But that's just a side effect.
Feeling under the weather today so I hope it's coherent enough lol
@@FifinatorKlon Uh...... if we thought like that a game like Destroy all Humans wouldn't exist. Also Hideo Kojima would be out of a job. What I'm thinking is peopel who say, "Get politics out of games," are really saying, "Get politics I disargee with out of games!" So please stop it with, "Real world politics shouldn't be in fictional works of media." It is clear you and others have made any of form of media and just consume it.
I couldn't handle the quartering's negativity. Its just exhausting to have so much angst and hate for shit that doesnt matter.
And barely exists at all anymore
The only picture of a SJW they got is that red haired chick from 2016, because that’s where they’re stuck. Everyone else moved on with their lives and anyone who unsubscribes from this anti-sjw nonsense rejoins the present as well
The way the American's School System is structured has PERMANENTLY ruined people's perspective of a 1-10 ranking system.
1 is the Worst.
5 is Mediocre/Average.
10 is the Best.
But now people think 7 is Mediocre, 8 is Good, 9 is Great, and 10 is the Best.
It's almost like the Quartering just doesn't play many games and really only engages in gaming media when there's drama and stories that he can overblow to the moon and back, showing that he's just some card game imbecile that realized he could grift gamers after they came to his defense after he was basically made persona non grata in the MTG community for being just a bad person to be around.
It's almost quaint to see someone like Quartering. He's a shitty person who was booted from his primary media social group (Magic the Gathering) so he's basically trying his best to scrape up some kind of new foundation.
I say almost quaint because ultimately even his pathetic attempts at being a Crowder or Sargon have likely made him stupid wealthy and that's just annoying.
He used to play Magic? I wonder if got booted because he complained about the amount of female Legendary Creatures.
@@MachiriReviews He was booted for sexual assault so yeah.
In fact, there's a lot of questionable things that Days Gone doesn't think is that big of a deal to talk about, throws it up and you're just supposed to accept. Nay, even just do it because you're rewarded for it. Like Deacon finding desperate people and selling them like Cattle to be forced labor for all of the settlements including - a crazed survivalist who is essentially LaVoy Finicium of the Malheur occupation who spouts about how he knew the government conspiracy was always there about anything and everything and how much he enjoys murdering his ideological enemies, a former prison warden running everyone else but her like dogs to farm possibly the worst land in Oregon and Deek's been selling people to her for a while because she keeps working them to death; and one more settlement that descends more viciously into madness as soon as Deek arrives. The only camp that doesn't want slaves and instead settlers, is Lost Lake - the camp Deacon and Boozer was kicked out of - because they sold people to Tucker and Copeland for camp credits. Rarely does this game touch upon how many people you can "rescue" only to sell them for credits for guns, gas and bike parks. And that only exception is a single young girl Deacon grows a conscious for enslaving her to Tucker, having her run away, refusing to really help her and just drop her off at Lost Lake, watch her once again escape to The Rippers and only survive to brutally murder the Marader Gang Deacon created because she decides to get him out of his chains.
Deacon spends more time whispering and muttering to himself about how much he's going to enjoy killing every random fight he stumbles into, either with Freakers or with random violent people who are somehow worse than he, than ever thinking "Wow, maybe I did something bad". Boozer does at certain points. But then, Boozer merely exists to be a character we protect and show empathy towards amid the human suffering we casually enact because Its a Zombie Apocalypse and I guess we can't have narrative standards to even Romero level introspection and criticism of human nature.
6:41 and you don't really need the rest of the video, just this little bit right here. "Um, *sniffs and Adjusts Glasses* AHctually, its the Zombie Apocalypse!"
To add to this Deacon basically no self awareness, especially regarding Skizzo. I get that he is kinda slimey, but when Skizzo betrays him and Boozer to save the Lost Lake camp (Which is a perfectly understandable motivation) he burns with unending fury and desires his painful death. I'm not saying betrayal and sacrificing people is a good thing, but Skizzo was doing it for noble reasons (whether or not that's a reasonable excuse is debatable, but its something as opposed to Deacons nothing).
However. because Deacon can never be challenged, Skizzo does a 180 and turns out to be an evil bad man working for the Militia (Who may also have been unnecessarily reduced to simple villain's because Deacons say they are like that with no good reason. However, its been a while since I last played my memory is foggy) that will kill everyone he ever knew for his benefit.
Plus, Deacon treats O'brian like garbage and can't get it through his thick head that things aren't all champagne and luxury at NERO bases.
Point is that the game will simplify factions and even characters to ensure Deacon is never questioned in his morals or actions, despite being in need some desperate questioning.
Honestly, I rather enjoyed the game. The story may have been lacking but I did enjoy the various types of gameplay and Hordes were just a treat, so it clearly didn't affect my experience too much, but still worth mentioning.
@@Slick-Salamander Its just strange to think about how Days Gone is possibly one of the only big budget games where to get the Good and Best Ending, you need to sell people to Copeland, Tucker and the Militia. To get the best gear, player rewards from the game and the most out of the ending, you are REQUIRED and expected to engage in slavery.
Ok to be fair to Copeland he never enslaves people as it would be fundamentally against his philosophy of maximized personal agency and he did turn out to be right about the government conspiracies. Also he was totally onboard with backing up Lost Lake’s play against the DCM which is more than I can say for the prison warden whose name escapes me.
How fitting that this man who is essentially the living embodiment of everything wrong with nerd culture is getting called out on his bullshit more and more as we are a month away from She-Ra getting its final season after becoming one of the most praised reboots in recent years. You know, the show which had a less sexualized design for its either underrage or barely of age main hero which Quartering here said was "The fall of beauty" and thought girls of this generation had "nothing to look up to". Lol, having the power this creep did not...
Love ya, Bob! I thought I was dreaming when I saw you uploaded again!
You know, a pretty common complaint regarding modern cartoons is that there aren't many action cartoons nowadays.
And I love every second of them ignoring She Ra.
@@Peasham They love ignoring Rise of the TMNT too, because it dared to change things so the story could be fresh. Oh, and all the racist shitheads who were angry that April was black, and a nonsexualized teen. Of course
@@mitkitty The best part is, April was black in the original TMNT comics.
@@Peasham she wasn't, you've abviously never read the original comics.
@@icenine135 The Mirage comics? It's pretty ambiguous given that they were black and white but... she certainly looks like she was supposed to be black in issue #4.
Oh dear, the quartering? I remember him from when he got Banned for Life from Magic: the Gathering events.
I want to ask how someone manages that but also I think I don't want to know the answer.
@@RoamingAdhocrat I won't go too deeply into it, but the short of it is that he was inciting harassment against a popular cosplayer (like, professional-tier, gets hired out to conventions and MTG tournaments). Said cosplayer quit and blamed TheQuartering, and the DCI (official Magic the Gathering organisation) issued a lifetime ban to him in the aftermath.
Some people say his punishment was severe for being outside the actual game, but either way it was directly damaging the hobby and people's enjoyment of it.
@@Braybray93 Why did I know ahead of time it would be harassing a woman at a convention.
@@DragonNexus Online actually. Just saying mean things like "she doesn't belong in our hobby" and trying to get folks to make petitions/facebook groups to advocate her removal.
@@Braybray93 It's god damn beautiful that in the end he got himself removed instead. I bet he utterly lost his shit when that happened. Perfection.
I like how he's like "keep your politics out of it", while in the review there is nothing political about it. He's literally a SJW about SJWs.
It's super funny seeing Quartering appearing in different corners of UA-cam and being shown for the clown he is. He doesn't seem to get anything right...about anything.
This guy was terrible at Magic videos, finally crossed the line and got pushed out, so now he's this weird GRU incel. Great.
All these #GAMERS becoming (or maybe always were?) like this and there clearly being a market for this type of content is really worrying honestly.
Doesn't he have a wive tho?
I must admit, his videos and inflammatory titles got annoying, so I unsubscribed, but the guy ain't an incel, just a part of that particular breed of bearded youtubers who keep ranting on idiotic articles and making them look like norm.
@@MizantropMan "incel" is less an actual state of celibacy these days and more of a reference to a state of mind. in that way what we call incels are usually misogynistic trash that make videos like this where you bash the "sexy fake gamer lady" for not writing a review that you agree with
@@MizantropMan Saying "incel" paints a clearer picture faster than me saying "someone who relies on people hating him for a living and to fill the deficit of attention he gets".
I guess just "shithead" works too.
He's a grifter. He doesn't believe any of the things he's saying. That doesn't make it better, but that's where he's coming from.
"Just like Mom used to make. That b*tch!"
I couldn't help but laugh. Very good set up and punchline.
"Fake Gamer flees after be- wait, it's in all-caps. FAKE GAMER FLEES AFTER BEING CAUGHT!!!"
God, this part made me laugh so hard I almost fell from my chair.
Also, thanks for mentioning that reviews at their core are subjective. You can do whatever to make it objective, but there will always be part of your own experience in the review that isn't compatible with everyone else.
Only if like hundreds of people would actually review the subject under the same conditions (i.e. rating the exact same points a specific score) would it become more Objective as it would now reflect the views of multiple. That's why sites such as rotten tomatoes show a total rating based on all current ratings. It gives a more general, objective view of what the majority is feeling about.
He reminds me of that guy who got mad about 'Parasite' winning best picture and best foreign film at the Oscars. Guess what? He didn't see the movie either. Funny enough, they both look pretty similar.
He deleted that video though because it was causing his channel to tank.
the most hilarious part to me is that he really wanted joker to win because it had social issues without realizing that *so did parasite*
I’ve never seen someone break down gamer gate without using the words “gamer” and “gate”.
Zero Punctuation also hated Days Gone. Weird how the Quatering didn't have an issue with Yahtzee's review of the game. What possible difference between Kallie and Yahtzee could there be... I just can't figure it out.
I've never liked The Quartering. His reviews and critiques of games and game news are trash. He seems like a caricature of that small subset of gamers who hate women because "they're not REAL gamers." Thank you for calling him out on his bullshit and the fact that he stirs up drama where there is none. I hope we'll be seeing more from you! You've been missed!
I do find it amusing that he likes to throw around the "REAL GAMER" tag because he really doesn't seem to be all that knowledgeable about gaming in the first place. After the New Zealand shooting Tim Schafer was hosting the GDC awards and said "Fuck white supremacists" in response to it. This upset TheQuartering, you know like saying "Fuck white supremacists" would upset any normal person. Of course TheQuartering also made sure to mention that he didn't know who Tim was, despite him being a legendary adventure game creator. Similarly last year Cory Barlog made a joke about TheQuartering to Alanah Pearce on Twitter and he caught wind of that and once again made sure to mention that he had no idea who Cory. This despite Cory having recently directed God of War 2018, a game that won countless Game of the Year awards.
I can only imagine the endless stream of videos that he and other right-wing gamerbros on UA-cam would be making if some female gamer UA-camr talked about not knowing well known game creators. She'd get harassed for months for not being a "REAL GAMER".
Fake gamer spotted.
Opinions are one thing but when he starts all that nazi talk... Eyeah that's enough. I just put the dick head stamp on his forehead and never go back to see that fat incel loser...
They must be 1. White 2. Male. 3. Straight. If it's anything that goes against that...it's attacking them and it will fail. That is his entire premise. When thing doesn't fail, it is because the (reviewed item) bought reviews.

I actually loathe the idea of "buying _____ out of spite", especially out of the mouths of those who believe in capitalism as if it were a religion.
When you live under socialism you won't get to buy games or comment your views on UA-cam. No one believes capitalism is a religion except for socialists, communists and Marxists...

@@smjaiteh I said when living under socialism so your point is invalid. 🤣🤣🤣
What the fuck does capitalism have to do with this?
@@DopeteK Actually, what you will find today is that most of our wonderful online services like social media and video platforms are actually unsustainable under capitalism. VC money, which specifically dumps money into money sinks, has made these platforms thrive when they shouldn't exist in the way they have been for 2 decades.
Ah yes, Jeremy "The Quartering" Hambly. The guy who first got famous among competitive MtG until he sexually harassed cosplayers and got banned from the game, who then became a bargain bin Sargon/Crowder since he personal growth is too hard
Sargon and Crowder are already bargain bin "rationalists", so I'm not sure what that says of The Quartering tbh
@@Grogeous_Maximus Maybe we can classify him as a dumpster "rationalist". That seems like a good next step after the bargain bin.
When he got banned from Magic, I laughed at his idea of suing Wizards over his mtgo collection. The terms and conditions you agree to every time you log in buried any hope of that.
Oh boy. Did not know about the cosplay harrassment until now.
Imagine being banned from a card game for being a sex pest. Quartering doesn't have to imagine.
Quartering is hypocrisy at its finest. This guy gets triggered whenever a gay person is in a game even they it’s barely noticeable.
dude is just triggered generally, his whole personality is about being outraged at something
And then also triggered if a white male isn't an option to play as the main character, while also saying women shouldn't need female main characters.
Of course, for him to know whether a character is even notable would require actually playing the game, which he doesn't have time to do because he's too busy being angry in front of a camera about it.
Sean Visick yep for the views
@@vys369 Whats worse is his INSUFFERABLE fanbase. Seriously, if you criticized the dude just once, it triggers the hell out of his fanbase

@Axl Hunter butthurt much fanboy?

So in conclusion of your butthurt fix it as that’s a you problem but if what they said wasn’t true in some capacity you wouldn’t have cared as it wouldn’t have mattered 🤣😂
More like because you'll be begging to be drawn and quartered two minutes into any of his videos...
What kind of people actually listen to the Quartering and uncritically agree with what he says? How much do you have to hate yourself to do that?
Well...looks like he was wrong this time.
But hey! Even a fully functioning clock can be wrong the farther it is from a gravity well🤨🤔
It's chuds/angry edgy teenagers who need to find someone who agrees with their narrow viewpoint. Quartering falls into it. So do countless other hate spewing youtubers and personality figures.
A lot of neckbeards in denial.
Mostly incels.
There's these paranoid as shit conspiracy theorists who genuinely believe there's a behind the scenes "sjw" plot to force "wokeness" into videogames, movies and so on.
They come from meme websites who since like 2013 have genuinely believed feminists and leftists now want to ruin everything they've ever loved online, it started because of gamergate and people like antita sarkeesian's internet series, they saw it as "feminists are invading our videogames for money and attention" and have been hyper sensitive to it ever since, shining a magnifying glass of "wokeness" onto everything, I know this because I used to go to those spaces when I was younger and they used to just poke fun at other websites and make jokes, I stopped identifying with them and left after they went absolutely batshit insane with this stuff, most annoying thing is some of them would join in because it's "just memes" but they just use jokes as a cover for their horrible opinions, then far right weirdos saw this as a recruitment opportunity to radicalize a bunch of angry nerds and it worked scarily well in a lot of cases, a website I frequented as a kid has turned from a teen hangout into a far right political circlejerk and they even have a handful of nazis there, the weirdest part is a lot of them seem to think "wokeness" is some how going to cause the fall of western civilization, yeah, they're insane.
EDIT: Point is, no matter how much they claim to be arguing for reason they are not reasonable people, they're almost like a cult, it's an internet war of ideology to them, they follow the quartering not because they think his opinions are well reasoned, simply because he's on their side, he gives them validation.
I remember when that Alyssa Wong thing happened (female comic book writer was falsely accused of tweeting “fuck Stan Lee” on the day he died), Quartering used a tweet from a year prior to when the supposed tweet was published as evidence that the tweet actually existed.
At least he apologized, but needless to say, I don’t think I’d trust him as far as I can throw him.
We are like 5+ years removed from the height of the gamergate nonsense and the fact that almost ANY grievance these troglodytes still screech about can literally be boiled down to "Reviews Are Subjective" is equal parts hilarious and sad. And yet guys like this still churn out multiple videos A DAY that consist of just unresearched, uninformed ranting based on nothing more than a difference of opinion.
And when he didn't even play the game he's arguing about, well, then at that point anyone who still watches and supports him is just showing themselves to be ridiculous gatekeepers who don't actually give a shit about the "discussion" being had.
I did an actual spit-take when I heard "keep your politics out if our games"
What, did this guy _also_ fall into a stupidity-induced coma ca. 2017?
Literally this is his entire shtick. Putting his politics into games.
This guy seems like he’s one of those who puts money on the table at a restaurant as a tip and then takes a $1 off for every time there’s “poor service”
Quartering's next video: "Bob wasn't objective enough in reviewing my review of a review because of XBKVLDHSLCJBCJFUEGSJC"

"Did I make such a mid game?
No, it's the Wokes who are wrong."
Ah yes, The "it's bad to have LGBT characters in video games, think of the children" Quartering
They could be indoctrinated into the gay. Oh no...
Which video does he say LGBT characters shouldn't be in video games?

ua-cam.com/video/aTw0jUECUxA/v-deo.html
From 1:02 to 1:20
"I think a children's cartoon that focuses on the themes that come up in this show (...) is not appropriate." He is most definitely talking about the gay subtext in the show, as he addresses a bunch of twitter posts praising it.
Granted, this a TV show and not a video game but I don't think that's a substantial inaccuracy on OCs part.
Edit; turns out it wasn't just subtext.
YEP!
@Mikhail G What's doubly fucked and stupid is his claim of his "2 gay black dads" in a relationship with his real dad as a defense for his homophobic beliefs. Spoilers: it was a lie.
Guy who was banned from organized MtG play for constantly harassing women harasses a woman. Big shock.
What is it with Jeremies?
Anyway, great to see you back! Hope you’ve got a little more in the tank.
I love how the Quartering wants to equate his opinion with an objective review.
I still deal with people who don't like Freddy Got Fingered, The 'Burbs, the Doors' first album, Trout Mask Replica, Steven Universe, Code: Lyoko, Bioshock: Infinite, and Heavy Rain.
And I deal with people who'll defend stuff I passionately dislike or don't like as much as the consensus - stuff like the Swans discography, the movie Paprika, and the 2018 movie Green Book.
That does not mean I have to make myself the only authority out there when it comes to media criticism. I like things that appeal to me - weirdo murder mystery dramas made by a very crazy and creepy French man who thinks video games are movies, I love those. Bioshock in the sky? I dug it. Joe Dante's also-ran that gets sandwiched between all the Gremlins movies? In my top 20. The Doors' entire discography? I think Jim Morrison was one of the best lyricists we've ever had.
But that doesn't mean that I am the authority on David Cage, Ken Levine, Joe Dante, and Doors discourse. As passionately as I will champion for L.A. Woman and Waiting for the Sun as being shining examples of best-of-all-time rock, there will be, for example, podcast hosts that'll make a pithy comment about how the '90s tried to make us really love the Doors by having Robby Krieger turn "Roadhouse Blues" into a beer commercial song with the help of Creed - in essence, making us "think the Doors were good." But so what? I still love that podcast, Break Stuff - one of the best podcasts in the business (about what exactly went wrong at Woodstock '99 and why giving blame only to Fred Durst being a doofus is missing the point), even though the host and I would not agree on whether or not the Doors are good. How he thinks about the Doors is besides the point.
But I will not ruin this podcast host's life because he made a pithy comment about how the Doors suck. That opinion's as old as the Doors themselves. As far back as even reviews of their residency at the Whisky a Go Go, there have been people who thought the Doors were all bark and no bite, that Jim was a meaningless writer who strung together random words just to sound poetic, that their music isn't as weird as they want you to think it is, that they're mindless shock-jocks for rock, etc. And guess what? I disagree. But I respect your right to disagree. As long as you're not, you know, trying to threaten every single fan of the Doors off the Internet and making them actually fear for their life with death threats, pizzabombs, doxing, championing for ultra-right-wing causes, and trying to blackball fans out of their jobs, then I will respect your opinion.
I cannot respect a movement like Gamergate or Comicsgate or even all the QAnon discourse because I cannot respect people who'll stop at nothing for people to acknowledge that they're the ONLY AUTHORITIES on something, even if it takes terrorism and outing somebody as trans and jeopardizing their own living conditions. And Quartering has aligned himself with all these "concern movements." I dunno about QAnon though.
Mr. Quartering, you can disagree with a review, but you don't have to insinuate that the reviewer only hated it because white guy does white guy hero things, something something feminist agenda. I'm sure you really like Days Gone. You'll fight passionately for it. But you're not the lone authority on Days Gone.
Just as I am not the lone authority on the Doors.
If I can take criticisms of Jim Morrison's lyrics, you can take criticism of the narrative of a post-apoc zombie survival game you moderately like.
Grow up, Quartering.

It's so silly that he doesn't see the story relevant to a review when the games have stories and Days Gone is advertised as a narrative game. A lot of people will drop a game when they don't like the story unless it has fun gameplay. Considering he found all of her criticism fair and he hasn't even played it, seems like he's mad at her because he wanted it to be a higher score and that she's a woman. I'm sure there's a negative review out there somewhere that's worse than hers that he could have made a video on.
I bet he also complains about reviewers being bribed to give games positive scores when it's a game he personally doesn't like too lol.
hilariously, "its a zombie apocolyse, his only priority would be himself" isn't really much of a defense. Deacon, for all his shit, is still part of a community, he *is* a biker gang member after all. He's not 'looking out for only himself'. He's getting supplies for his friends and fellow survivors, he tries to save the life of a woman he thought was dead. It's all still selfishly motivated, but Quartering cant really dismiss it as "well he's a lone wolf", not correctly anyway.
Also like, isnt that always the thing in zombie settings too? Like, the guys who are lone-wolfing it are usually the bad guys, and the heroes who stay alive work together?
Oh my lord, is that the same guy that went on a crusade against half the women who ever publicly enjoyed magic the gathering? Of course this would be what he does nowadays.
No, he never did that. At lest not outside your head. Hes the guy whos making cash by laughing at weirdos.
Only if sending a Pepe tweet is a crusade.
The quartering feels like he stuck in the year 2016 and try to speak on the behalf of fans even though him and every single anti-sjw Channel don't really give a shit about the stuff they're talking about and only talk about for the views.
"only a hardcore fan would give it an 8" and "giving it a 5 is unreasonably low" is hilarious because that means the only two reasonable options in his mind are a 6 or a 7, which is kinda defeats the whole point of having ten whole numbers to choose from to decide how much you like it. May as well just limit it to a "do you like: yes or no" question.
Seems like the only metric he'd understand at this rate.
People in general weren't that big fans of Days Gone (though I liked it), so to single her out is "strange". It's almost as if he's... no, that'd be ridiculous.
(Also, he doesn't know how a 1-10/0-10 scale works if he thinks 7 would be mediocre)
Do people seriously still buy into the whole "keep politics out of gaming" tirade, as they themselves attack female reviewers/youtubers for no reason? Weak
Unfortunately yes.
It's especially stupid, because politics are in practically everything. They just hate it when it's something they disagree with.
Perhaps. But that's not the Quartering. Unless you have some evidence. Good luck with that, lol.
@Jay Ocq "Criticism."
If calling someone a "fake gamer" for apparently giving the "awful score" for a game you have never even played can be labeled as criticism then DSPGaming should be called the best Let's Player on the internet. You might as well with that reasoning.
@@pumajlr he ain't gonna read this bro
"people are just doing what they need to do to survive"
pretty sure blowtorching a dude in the back because you kicked him out of your super special boy gang is *probably not* necessary for survival by any kind of metric
This would require him to play the game.
I'm not a fan of the mainstream games media, but The Quartering is just as bad: for a time I used to be able to put up with his content, but the shift to purely reactionary content and constant clout-chasing immediately put me off ever watching his stuff again. His attempt to make his own games media outlet failed and now he's just floundering for clout in the wake of the failure. The obtuse style of presentation also doesn't help me to be convinced to tune in. I'd normally agree with his stances on things, but his presentation and delivery is so self-defeating.
And somehow he's making enough money to give away in this times of crisis. Guys, you're living in dreamland.
As far as 'no moral rules' during a Zombie Apocalypse, that's absolute Horse droppings. The vast majority of these type of stories are underpinned by the very struggle of those who attempt to stay moral and those who give in to their darkness.
Ngl, I always grouped Robert Storms and The Quartering as the same person because of their takes. Now I have learned that they are in fact, one separate person in two bodies.
Please tell me Robert storms is a pseudonym I refuse to believe there’s a anti sjw grifter who’s actual name is Robert fucking Storms.
@@thedude4840 hold on, let me get ahold of his birth certificate
Does Quartering purposefully mispronounce certain words like "days" and "journalist"? Is this apart of his shtick or am I just imagining things...
*Urinal-ist!* So funny!
yes, its from back in gamergate days. They called journalists Urinalists, because they are clever like that.
Sura Ventri so clever, how mental
@@suraventri2544 Well if the name fits
@Seanna of Astora Mispronouncing Days - No idea, Mispronouncing Journalist - OH ABSOLUTELY!
Hambley has a very dim view of Main Stream Media, If I am honest - So do I... Here in the UK, there are some very popular newspapers that have VERY CLEAR AND DEFINED BIASED towards a set way of thinking... So its is kind of understandable, but also wrong as its tarring every journalist as a Biased Reporter without knowing them!
A Great Example and Explanation comes from a TV Series here in the UK and Very Popular Novel, "Yes Minister" - You can change the names and it would apply to ANY COUNTRY (CNN and Fox News for instance...)
But Hambley and his Broad Strokes approach is fundamentally flawed - Funny, but flawed!
Sadly the best clip i could find cuts off before the best joke - But here is the Quote from www.comedy.co.uk/tv/yes_prime_minister/quotes/
Hacker: Don't tell me about the press. I know exactly who reads the papers. The Daily Mirror is read by people who think they run the country; The Guardian is read by people who think they ought to run the country; The Times is read by the people who actually do run the country; the Daily Mail is read by the wives of the people who run the country; the Financial Times is read by people who own the country; the Morning Star is read by people who think the country ought to be run by another country, and the Daily Telegraph is read by people who think it is.
Sir Humphrey: Prime Minister, what about the people who read The Sun?
Bernard: Sun readers don't care who runs the country, as long as she's got big tits.
Say you hate women without saying you hate women
I've said it before but it bears repeating. If there were a true, "objective" standard for what make a game a 10/10, every game would do those things and be a 10. There would be no need for any human decision making or creativity. The entire creation process would be strictly mathematical and formulaic. And there would be no need for any reviews, because the 10/10 quality of the game is strictly factual.
The overwhelming disgust that I felt from the backlash from Days Gone's middling reception from the cesspit that is the gaming 'community' turned me off from ever picking up the game.
I never played GTA5 or RDR2 because of this.
Jekadu
SJW Cuck here, GTAV and RD2 are both really good... if you like Rockstar games, they are so painfully slow for me I was only able to play them once BUT they are worth trying
@@bishop6881 Oh boy. I just found out that on Gamespot, Carolyn Petit gave GTA V a 9 and Kallie Plagge gave RDR 2 a 9 as well. I wasn't an active Gamespot user at the time RDR 2 came out but boy do I remember the tidal wave of spite that arose out of the GTA V review. Petit was Gamespot's first trans reviewer by the way so you KNOW it got ugly.
Pumpactionmusket
everyone knows trans people aren’t allowed opinions /s
@@bishop6881 Lol it was funny as hell in 2018. RD2 was adopted as the alt rights game sadly... They really wanted it to win game of the year. Some of em even braggingly told me I was stupid for thinking it might lose. Even saw some of these incels praising it as game of the year... Despite complaints that it was very slow and boring in many parts.
Anyways... God of war 4 won it and they raged while I laughed. Good times lolz.
The only thing worst about the quarterings video are the comments. Absolutely disgusting, makes my stomach churn.
All hateful MGTOWs. I dont think a single woman likes his channel.
The worst part... This guy is one of two Jeremy’s on this platform that I outright HATE with a passion. Bob actually covered the other Jeremy; can you guess who I’m talking about everyone.
Ding
God I can't believe these types of people got to where they are after 2016.
Stupidity is eternal.
Oh my god, HE DIDN’T EVEN PLAY THE GAME?????? How can he say he thought it was a 7/10 when he didn’t even fucking play it??? That, right there, is absolute proof he only dislikes the review because a woman wrote it. Why else would he care if he, ya know, never played the goddamn game in the first place
A few years ago, I found his channel and was on board with his righteous anger at the videogame industry, but one thing stood out to me that made me dodge the bullet that is him and his channel. In every one of the videos I watched of his, he started ranting about perceived slights of imaginary SJWs and liberals that were hurting the industry.
And then later I found out he's just generally a douchebag on top of needlessly injecting politics into everything.
Edit: I made this comment before getting to the part where he starts ranting about SJWs, but man if that isn't just a great example of what I said. I don't understand why this dude has such a big following when he is just bitter and blames everything on SJWs and liberals.
I genuinely don't remember what it was, but there was something from Lord of The Rings about obsessing over destructive douchebags to the point of becoming one or some shit that I would think of whenever I heard about TheQuartering. Currently trying to jog my memory.
He tells other people what they want to hear. He's leaning into the anti-SJW anti-woke culture.
People like Quater have no personality. their not real humans they don’t have real human experiences they are not people, And they deserve to be looked down on. Also bet he’s never played a pathfinder or crpg game because that requires more processing power than his shooter addled 3 brain cells can handle.
Careful there buddy his fans catch wind of this and they’ll be all over this and send it to him and then he’ll make a video about it saying in the video “I don’t want to or make videos like this but it needs to be done” and somewhere along in that video sub counts will come into play with some nonsense about small channels not being credible for their size when he’s contradicted himself with larger channels (than his) numbers not meaning anything and people shouldn’t care about them, then a twitter rant which he will delete later, then possibly call Ralph to get on the kill stream or Ralph retort with you then back out last minute cause he “really didn’t want to do it”, possibly threaten legal action by (this is his own words) “calling his Asian lawyer and seeing what can be done” just to back out of that too. 🤣😂
Edit: By the way he’s made the video and brushed it off that this guy here didn’t like how Jeremy called out she said the zombies are too white and then goes to say about not purchasing the game he CAN review a reviewers review without buying the game cause the game has nothing to do with that at that point and said and I quote “if I had said I give it a 7 where she gives it a 5 you would have an argument but that’s not what happened”
nobody take this kind of trash seriously. You are just a bunch of lolcows. And this is coming from someone who doesn't like The Quartering that much.
Lol done
@Tha Pume it was a joke off of his shitty personality and actions as a human being, neither do I he’s manipulative and contradicts himself from video to video. Lootboxes started with let’s boycott them to eh if you do it go for it. Couldn’t stick to his guns cause he couldn’t swing his fanbase hard enough. Canceled pre orders based off of breast size of characters but then claims anyone getting off and worrying about stuff like that is weird and doesn’t care about video game culture. He’s manipulating his audience for views and $$$. Call me out all you like but you got it twisted as he’s done that to people he doesn’t like same thing happened with tommy C about them laughing that he was intoxicated in his truck.... they made a joke and were laughing about it and didn’t even throw shade at him and he came at them for laughing nothing more and he found out cause someone who follows him fucking ratted like a cunt. He soured his words and it was hilarious. I watch a lot of channels to cross reference information I gather on things I like and don’t like and I actually enjoy channels I don’t like comparing them to channels I like. I will admit I have bought some stuff and have skipped some stuff. Loved rage 2 though quartering when on about some stupid shit that didn’t pertain to me about it being bad still loved the game. I got Youngblood’s as well and while I wouldn’t agree that it was “woke” with the characters being twin sisters I will admit the banter back and forth was funny the first go around but got old quick and the story could have been a DLC expansion. The game was alright but it didn’t go above and beyond and it didn’t completely fail like he said as it set some pretty cool stuff up to go into motion.
Ah... This kind of stupidity seems to never die, doesn't it. I had people who don't play the game tell me I'm wrong about the game too once. Had a review code, published the review the day it was out, before anyone could play it, had people tell me I'm wrong because some other reviewer somewhere had other thoughts about the game. Because apparently that's how it works :D
The Quartering talking about how hate clicks are bad is about as hypocritical and phony as the actor behind Ronald McDonald going to schools and promoting healthy living and exercise. Probably more so.
Clickbait for me but not for thee.
Ah, the Quartering. He threw a big fit years ago when that new She-Ra series was released because the main character wasn't feminine/ sexy enough. She's a teenager, creepy much?
It's honestly kind of hard to believe that he exists. People say stereotypes are bad, and yet he literally is the stereotype neckbeard incel.
You can be a female teen without looking like a boy. There's a difference between sexy and "not garbage character design"
@@DexDexter0 A) She-Ra doesn't look like a boy lol B) even if she did, it's not a bad character design, it has a nice colour scheme, looks suitably intimidating and radiant at the same time.
"Not garbage character design" for Jeremy just means "suitably conforming to what I think femininity means" which means fuckable, as he talks about little girls not presenting in ways appealing to men, when they grow up, because of cartoons.
@@DexDexter0 You do know there's teen girls out there who have square jaws, broad shoulders, and muscles, right? God forbid they exist in media.
@@DexDexter0 Oh shut the fuck up.
I am only just now playing Days Gone. A 5/10 is technically a neutral to positive review. I'd probably give it a 6 or 7 too but I can totally see a 5 based on opinions.
Still not as bad as the day he complained about the new Dune movie before it was even released because of the gender swapped Liet-Kynes, but then admited he never even read the book the movie is based upon. (Let alone watch the movie cuz again, IT WAS NOT OUT YET!)
I remember an old old Jimquisition episode that was riffing on the "objective game review." The idea of objectivity in a review is so ludicrous.
I love any video dunking on Jeremy
That was 12 years ago and Gamers™ still don't understand what a review is.
You take Jim seriously?
Ah, yes, the subset of UA-camrs whose entire schtick is ReAdInG aRtiClEs oUt LouD foR 1o MinUteS
conveniently always 10 minutes are slightly more. im sure they're not just doing it for the money oh no
And specifically not reading the parts that disagree with him.
Why read for yourself when you can have some unshowered Neckbeard to think for you
He recently called out a sponsor who dropped him because he thinks they didn't like his politics. But totally told his viewers to not go after them. And told his current subscribers that he wouldn't do this to them. Fucking idiot. He also worried about being de-monetized and asked at least 2000 people to subscribe to his patreon like area. When I last read it was only 364 people. His fan base may not be all that wealthy.
@@Peasham I just realized that. He will skip paragraphs so I will stop the video and read them.
It's insane that this man made a career off of being a professionally angry gamer.
That's a funny term; "Professionally Angry Gamer." I might use it regularly now when talking about these kinds of people.
@@whattheegad It's my favourite way to describe them because it's 100% accurate. Their careers are built off of being mad, and without something to be mad about they're worthless.
A more accurate description would be "Professional Dickhead"
It is so pathetic that "gamer" is an identity
Fuck, still better than a Catholic.
@The Dolphin Police Pope Reggie is way better idiot
