That exact "attitude" is exactly what made the Huniepop vid so hilarious. I haven't been so truly entertained in a long time. TB is an example of perfect British humor.

I like TB's vlogs, not so much his WTFs.

He's a little too articulate, stern and proper to be very funny or entertaining.

The few times I like him is when he drops that attitude and looses it (like in WTF is Day One Garry's Incident).

But, that attitude makes him an excellent orator when it comes to serious issues.

Or presenting something or experiences something new, for that matter, like when he eats things.

TotalBiscuit is a hard cunt.

Let me just put that out there. He's unbelievably not funny. Like I don't think I've ever met somebody who tries so hard to be funny, but isn't funny yet acts like they are. He is one hard cunt. I've tried really hard to be entertained by some of his videos, some of his collabs with the yogscast. Not even those guys could save the videos.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh the salt is real

Though i dont watch his videos to be entertained, it is a bonus for me as i kind of get his humour, and his videos with his wife are fricking hilarious imo as she makes him play some downright horrible games, but to each his/her own.

I don't think TB tries to be funny in most videos tbh. Content with his wife, yes, the co-optional podcast, yes, but most of his WTF videos? Nah. It's only really where the game is so unbelievably bad it's difficult to not be funny.

For most of his stuff no not really, but there are some.... things, that he plays that you just cant help but laugh at and that just feeds you ammunition to rip it to pieces.

Even when he is funny, he usually isn't trying to me. I mean there was nothing inherently joke-ish about him screaming "Helps to have a map!" at the end of his GOTW video, but after sitting through twenty minutes of GOTW gameplay that moment was fucking hilarious.

I don't watch gameplay videos for memes, I watch them for gameplay, and TB offers that without impeding on that. Even when he goes on rants, he often goes on rants while playing the game so you can just mute him to see how the game plays out.

Well yeah, especially when the developer "hit back" at Jim and just... oh the hole he dug himself with that was just utterly ridiculous.

Yeah man, he even started demanding and interview with Jim on twitter.. and this happened http://www.thejimquisition.com/2015/07/ ... sh-it-out/

edit: in other news this kickstarter is amusing , choice quotes include "The elvis of modern games criticism is John Bain"

Okay i watched a few minutes of the interview, well... listened to, as i dont have the time for the entire thing but it just sounds so awkward and just... bad. And from the comments below the developer was an utter asshole it seems during it.

At one point he tries to catch Jim out by asking if he's related to this other games journalist, as if trying to suggest collusion, it was an entertaining breakfast listen.

Let me just put that out there. He's unbelievably not funny. Like I don't think I've ever met somebody who tries so hard to be funny, but isn't funny yet acts like they are. He is one hard cunt. I've tried really hard to be entertained by some of his videos, some of his collabs with the yogscast. Not even those guys could save the videos.

Well, until you meet yourself and all your salt.

I do actually find some of them entertaining, their Civ games are always a decent watch, mainly to just see them all plan to go after lewis then just fuck one another over non stop, and those panicked moments where one of them knows they are doomed and they just struggle over who to fuck up before they go down.

Oh and Hannah is always a good watch with episodic games like game of thrones, walking dead what not. And sips is quite fucking bonkers which helps make his videos entertaining as well.
