TitanSparrow The pesticide Atrazine is a major pollutant in most drinking water. It causes male frogs to develop functioning female reproductive organs. Frogs can do that naturally, but it’s significantly more common when they live in Atrazine-polluted water (even when the level of Atrazine in the frogs’ water is only a fraction of the legally permissible level of Atrazine in our drinking water). Atrazine interferes with the hormonal activity of both humans and animals at extremely low doses.

Joe, I'm actually embarrassed to admit this, but it's literally just dawned on me that I haven't played online on my PS4 for like 3 years and I STILL pay for ps+. I'm a dickhead and that's the end of it. Ps+ cancelled today.
What I love about these end-of-year videos is Joe's passion for the industry, especially when he is talking about microtransactions/lootboxes. Plus in the midst of all the swearing, he's quite well-spoken as well, which I like, haha.
Another great moment happened shortly after that too.. When Other Joe actually "played" that mini-game he managed to cheese it _perfectly._ He held the Joy-con _just right_ and then rotated in his chair multiple times 'till he got _over 3,000 degrees_ of rotation.

the reason why i would always back expansions and good value dlc over microtransactions: + it adds additional gameplay, enlarging the overall game experience + having absolutely no negative impact to others even getting more quality content in the future + doesn't screw over the balance of the game and is completely OPTIONAL + customers feel a sense of value with their purchase even years later + a single game doesn't get overstuffed with content and doesn't give customers the feeling of catching up + social pressure has less effect with dlc than microtransactions skins and items like in fortnite + games with dlc as a business model has normally a cap not higher or less than 30/60 bucks microtransactions: - risk of impacting the game even further with grind tactics in future or current games if you buy some - looking good or getting rewarded with skins and other items is practically behind a paywall now - overstuffed ingame stores with skins and boosters - developers need to put in longer (crunch) hours on the same game under the name 'game as a service' because of microtransactions, causing burn outs. - less innovation in future games because they already make milions on the same gameplay loop because of microtransactions - complexity turns into simplicity in games so that publishers reach a wider audience meaning more cash - games as a service - corrupting gamers with the "it's necessary because games are to expensive" speech while ignoring that publishers still make more revenue selling dlc or the game itself. - workers not seeing a penny of this ridiculous wealth and publishers not paying a single penny of that microtransaction money in tax. - money goes to innovations in gambling mechanics, RPG mechanical tricks for children and adults to spend more money instead of going to new features and innovation. love or hate my opinion, even call me a millennial but i remember a time not so long ago when i bought my game. I got something bursting with creativity, innovation, value, quality over quantity with good dlc and at least a finished product with some less hard drive intensive patch updates. that for only 60 bucks or less with an OPTIONAL season pass of around 30 or 40 bucks. fight for good gaming people.
I appreciate the feature my friend, and I'm glad you found my content insightful enough to help with this video! It's awesome to see the issues with the Pokémon franchise being recognized on some larger platforms such as yours. Keep up the great work!

I love how Joe went on local news about the whole violent video game controversy. That shows so much dedication towards this entertainment medium and it makes me so happy to see him representing it. Love you, Joe; keep rocking 🤘
Did he actually specify _he_ went to them, not the other way around? Joe's easily one of the biggest names in gaming-related YT, someone at the station was probably well aware he's from the area and suggested they go to him for an interview.
Obviously... You're JUST realizing that video games are a passion to him?? And that he works harder than most UA-camrs out there? Get the fuck out lmfao. You're garbage.

Hate the end product but realise no artist purposely creates something to tank an entire movie. People worked hard. They worked LONG hours for this and then they were shut down.

@@wingman6541 How about adressing bullying in school? a lot of the damage that drives teenagers going into killing sprees is resentment started by bullying. You could start by that.
Garrett Naugher I think saying that it's the video games is something of an easy out for the blame on that shooting when mass media in general like movies and music do the same. That way they can say they did something to address the issue (specifically that shooting) without looking much further. For what it's worth, I think cracking down on Games wouldn't be completely pointless, but it wouldn't do much to fix what's wrong with us, when we need to look into societal/work/mental problems that drive a lot of people to that point.
@@dragonfir21 it's tragic. I remember in 2011 when I first played Skyrim I was completely mesmerized. Me and my best friend had times on that game we'll never forget. Having said that, Fallout 76 is one of the worst games we've ever played.
I like that angry joe, jim sterling and dunkey sprinkle bits of each other’s videos in their own. It’s good to see a group of critics who actually have the balls to criticize bigger games and the industry as a whole without care of being blacklisted
To quote yhatzee: "one thing that warms my heart, is that one day, every human being that was forty when I was born, will be dead. And then games will at last be seen as a legitimate source of entertainment. With the same prestige of books, movies, or theatre" Only then, the "games cause violence" bullshit will die. It will be glorious.
Naw they still blame violence on Music, Movies, Comics, Theater, Magic the Gathering, and books, because as long as there is a shitty set of parents that exist that blame everyone but themselves and accept responsibility they will always scapegoat to something, same for Politicians.
Joe for real gaming is not just a hobbie or job for you its your passion! Seeing you on your local news defending video games and gamers in general is just awesome ❤️ Much love from Switzerland :)
Its pretty dope seeing Joe go on his local news station to inform people that videogames aren't to blame for violent behavior. I know it's obvious for those of us who are in the community, but a lot of people are more than happy to use videogames as a scapegoat and need to be educated on the topic.
as a psychology student I've actually looked into the video game violence thing and to my own surprise many studies have indeed found significant differences in studies comparing attitudes of aggression when individuals are exposed to video games, particularly those containing violence, hen compared to other forms of media.
@@Sasquatch0601 Yes and alcohol causes accidents and is not good for your body. Did the gov banned it? Nope. They regulate it and make sure young people can't access to it easily They should do the same for videogames
No they shouldn't. Video games are just on the list of common scapegoats along with Guns. Instead of looking at these fringe cases in depth and finding out what extraneous factors lead up to a individual choosing to do what they did, all the politicians want to choose the lazy way and scapegoat the fuck out of inanimate objects never just saying yeah this individual is crazy and these factors in his life lead up to him choosing to go nuts.

@@Karrigsturn Ya, I've spent perhaps $100 on games in the last 3 years. So many excellent old games to play again, no reason to buy any of this new garbage.
I agree. That’s why I refuse to buy games directly from shameful developers. If I want a game from a bad studio I never buy it new, even if it’s on sale. I buy it from another person months and months after release. That way they never get my money, I get a discount, and all the shitty release day glitches and bugs are patched. Still waiting on Borderlands 3 and Doom Eternal. It will be awhile but worth the wait. Fuck Gearbox, and fuck Bethesda.

You are "debating" with people whose ancestors used to kill innocent women for "witchcraft". It doesn't surprise me AT ALL that they are blaming video games for "possessing" their homicidal maniacs that they've bred with gun and Bible.
Ghola Tleilaxu Kinda hypocritical to blame guns and biblical references for mass shootings. A manic is born from neglect or from a traumatic experience. A gun is simply means to an end. If a killer wanted someone dead, they’d find something to kill with. Quit blaming guns and religion. Fighting fire with fire never works out.
It's pretty awesome seeing Joe advocating and defending the gaming community to his local news station in regards to video games being the source cause of violence. The facts are that blaming video games distracts from the broader issues at hand as a means to give the typical non-gamer a reason to why certain events are happening. It really does frustrate me on how so many individuals are not educated in this manner and for someone like Joe, who is passionate and really dedicates himself to video games, like the rest of us, he has truly earned my respect and I commend him for speaking up!
Absolutely Awesome We play exactly the same violent games in my country, which has also fought terrorism for decades. Even so, for example, the amount of mass shootings we’ve had in the more than a hundred years since the state was founded? None. Nil. Zero. Whatever the issues are over violence in America, gaming isn’t part of it. Otherwise, all of the rest of us would be similarly violent countries and people - but we’re not.
Absolutely Awesome: Blaming THINGS and not people seems to be a favorite of politicians. Oh, mass gun violence is now commonplace? Blame ownership of firearms and violent video games! They pulled the same crap in the 90’s with Mortal Kombat. Nothing new under the sun. People don’t want to look at the real problems, like how depression and suicide are at an all time high in the USA. But yeah, just blame THINGS when it’s a people problem.
Man, I still remember when it was the Top Gaming Controversies in 2014. I feel like that video actually opened my eyes to the issues within the gaming community, since that year was the start of Gamergate and swatting. Unfortunately it seems the effects of both can be felt to this day.
Trust me, punch cards is where it's at. It takes about a bookshelf of them to store a single low-quality image, but if something is worth doing it's worth doing right.
Total respect for number 9, Joe. Here in brazil we had the same, stupid media and politicians saying that videogames causes violence. And always are a bunch of ignorant people saying that with no knowledge about the theme.
Personally, I don't think it was that bad. I think it was just a quiet point in the industry because the current consoles were nearing their end, but not much for the next generation was ready yet.
not like they were good developer/publisher to begin with, their games always ship with issues, only reason it got pass is that at lease story or game play were good, but personally people should of been saying things from day one, other companies get flak shipping buggy game, but not Bethesda? its same bullshit with Nintendo and Pokemon, stop letting this shit slide fuck
I have stopped playing WoW after this controversy and that lame corporate speech made at Blizzcon, Blizzard is a Corporate Commander asset now. Goodbye old friend.

Joe this was one of the best lists you've ever crafted! So much content! Thank you so much for providing the goodness! It is sometimes easy to forget how much shit went down last year, it was packed from the start to the end of the year with various bullshit left, right and center. The "Surprise Mechanics" will always be my highlight of last year. The audacity of EA to try and pull that shit off in a government hearing was hilarious and awkward. XD
About politicians and their broken record- - game violence: I am 500 and 50 years old, and I am only mildly senile; so I can tell you wholeheartedly that back in my days we had 0 violence movies and games, and so there was absolutely NO violence back in the middle ages, and even if (hypothetically) we wanted to rough up, we had no guns, and so there was nothing left to do, but to listen to Beatles albums and drink Chai tea . So ya! Trump is right, he is 100 percent right, eliminate violent games, and we will have a perfectly hippie utopian life. Also put more slot machines in our games; that will keep the kids off the streets. Rated E for everyone.

the reason why i would always back expansions and good value dlc over microtransactions:
+ it adds additional gameplay, enlarging the overall game experience
+ having absolutely no negative impact to others even getting more quality content in the future
+ doesn't screw over the balance of the game and is completely OPTIONAL
+ customers feel a sense of value with their purchase even years later
+ a single game doesn't get overstuffed with content and doesn't give customers the feeling of catching up
+ social pressure has less effect with dlc than microtransactions skins and items like in fortnite
+ games with dlc as a business model has normally a cap not higher or less than 30/60 bucks
microtransactions:
- risk of impacting the game even further with grind tactics in future or current games if you buy some
- looking good or getting rewarded with skins and other items is practically behind a paywall now
- overstuffed ingame stores with skins and boosters
- developers need to put in longer (crunch) hours on the same game under the name 'game as a service' because of microtransactions, causing burn outs.
- less innovation in future games because they already make milions on the same gameplay loop because of microtransactions
- complexity turns into simplicity in games so that publishers reach a wider audience meaning more cash
- games as a service
- corrupting gamers with the "it's necessary because games are to expensive" speech while ignoring that publishers still make more revenue selling dlc or the game itself.
- workers not seeing a penny of this ridiculous wealth and publishers not paying a single penny of that microtransaction money in tax.
- money goes to innovations in gambling mechanics, RPG mechanical tricks for children and adults to spend more money instead of going to new features and innovation.
love or hate my opinion, even call me a millennial but i remember a time not so long ago when i bought my game. I got something bursting with creativity, innovation, value, quality over quantity with good dlc and at least a finished product with some less hard drive intensive patch updates. that for only 60 bucks or less with an OPTIONAL season pass of around 30 or 40 bucks. fight for good gaming people.

I think saying that it's the video games is something of an easy out for the blame on that shooting when mass media in general like movies and music do the same. That way they can say they did something to address the issue (specifically that shooting) without looking much further.
For what it's worth, I think cracking down on Games wouldn't be completely pointless, but it wouldn't do much to fix what's wrong with us, when we need to look into societal/work/mental problems that drive a lot of people to that point.

If a killer wanted someone dead, they’d find something to kill with. Quit blaming guns and religion. Fighting fire with fire never works out.
It's pretty awesome seeing Joe advocating and defending the gaming community to his local news station in regards to video games being the source cause of violence. The facts are that blaming video games distracts from the broader issues at hand as a means to give the typical non-gamer a reason to why certain events are happening. It really does frustrate me on how so many individuals are not educated in this manner and for someone like Joe, who is passionate and really dedicates himself to video games, like the rest of us, he has truly earned my respect and I commend him for speaking up!
Absolutely Awesome We play exactly the same violent games in my country, which has also fought terrorism for decades. Even so, for example, the amount of mass shootings we’ve had in the more than a hundred years since the state was founded? None. Nil. Zero. Whatever the issues are over violence in America, gaming isn’t part of it. Otherwise, all of the rest of us would be similarly violent countries and people - but we’re not.
Absolutely Awesome: Blaming THINGS and not people seems to be a favorite of politicians. Oh, mass gun violence is now commonplace? Blame ownership of firearms and violent video games! They pulled the same crap in the 90’s with Mortal Kombat. Nothing new under the sun. People don’t want to look at the real problems, like how depression and suicide are at an all time high in the USA. But yeah, just blame THINGS when it’s a people problem.

Man, I still remember when it was the Top Gaming Controversies in 2014. I feel like that video actually opened my eyes to the issues within the gaming community, since that year was the start of Gamergate and swatting. Unfortunately it seems the effects of both can be felt to this day.
"Who the f puts porn in USBs these days?" I dunno, but I save my porn on Vinyl records and VHS casettes. Top quality :D
How do you save porn on vinyl? Asking for a friend.
TheSimpleGamer nah, it’s all about floppy disks, I don’t trust anything else
I use stone tablets, personally, might not be the easiest way, but the quality Is amazing
@@ernestb556 that I get pictures can be saved like that, but vinyl? That's just audio. Maybe it's a turn on for some freeks 😕
Trust me, punch cards is where it's at. It takes about a bookshelf of them to store a single low-quality image, but if something is worth doing it's worth doing right.
Haha, when Joe walked up I was like..ok..it's coming..it's coming
"You done f.."
Yeap, there he go..
u don't have to see his face to know he was going to say it, just watching him walk screamed that he would say it
ssssssaaaaaammmmeeeeee
That never gets old lmao
Total respect for number 9, Joe. Here in brazil we had the same, stupid media and politicians saying that videogames causes violence. And always are a bunch of ignorant people saying that with no knowledge about the theme.
Predictions: Bethesda and Bioware present all of those
We don't deserve that we love our fans
Bethesda yes but hopefully not Bioware. I'm hopeful that Bioware will be able to eventually turn things around in time for Dragon Age 4.
And ea.
bi bioware you mean ea
@@DragonHeart613 Bioware rn is just merely a shadow of its former self
"You done f**ked it up!"

E3 2019 was so bad and boring, everyone just remembers Keanu Reeves
Ikumi nakamura was the headline of e3 2019
Well he was breathtaking
I liked the halo trailer though
Personally, I don't think it was that bad.
I think it was just a quiet point in the industry because the current consoles were nearing their end, but not much for the next generation was ready yet.
@@waled7rocky no weeb
He said 2020 would be a lot better... HAHA oh Joe
Son, calm down.
Alternative Title: The Bethesda Memorial awards
Lmaoooo
not like they were good developer/publisher to begin with, their games always ship with issues, only reason it got pass is that at lease story or game play were good, but personally people should of been saying things from day one, other companies get flak shipping buggy game, but not Bethesda? its same bullshit with Nintendo and Pokemon, stop letting this shit slide fuck
I have stopped playing WoW after this controversy and that lame corporate speech made at Blizzcon, Blizzard is a Corporate Commander asset now. Goodbye old friend.
Berkay me too I stop playing the old wow as well since this happen
I stopped playing Overwatch after the controversy and refused to buy the Switch version. Hell if this crap isn't fixed, I won't be buying the sequel.
I'm surprised anyone even bought Warcraft 3 Reforged even knowing Blizzard is such a shitty company. It ended up being a disaster, anyway. I hope most people have gotten a refund on it.
"you either die a hero or live long enough to become the villian"
Joe this was one of the best lists you've ever crafted! So much content! Thank you so much for providing the goodness!
It is sometimes easy to forget how much shit went down last year, it was packed from the start to the end of the year with various bullshit left, right and center. The "Surprise Mechanics" will always be my highlight of last year. The audacity of EA to try and pull that shit off in a government hearing was hilarious and awkward. XD
About politicians and their broken record- - game violence:
I am 500 and 50 years old, and I am only mildly senile; so I can tell you wholeheartedly that back in my days we had 0 violence movies and games, and so there was absolutely NO violence back in the middle ages, and even if (hypothetically) we wanted to rough up, we had no guns, and so there was nothing left to do, but to listen to Beatles albums and drink Chai tea . So ya! Trump is right, he is 100 percent right, eliminate violent games, and we will have a perfectly hippie utopian life. Also put more slot machines in our games; that will keep the kids off the streets. Rated E for everyone.
I laughed so hard at the Star Trek bit that my daughter came in to check on me. This video is a riot.
MelMars500 yeah I was really pleased to see him use several of Layman Gaming clips. I follow them also and not only do they have the best memes but are also informative.
Joe, I enjoy your content, but more importantly, THANK YOU for advocating gamers and their rights
So glad to see the Controversies list back!
Honorable mention: the animation studio of the Sonic Movie shut down after the movie and some of the animators there revealed they were working in heavy crunch
