How dare you accuse your audience of being childlike morons for disagreeing with your OPINION, let alone a clearly personal opinion backed up by no evidence other than Hollywood examples which is a totally different thing on a totally different medium that has no purpose being in this debate and only makes you sound more like you have no idea what you're actually talking about. Youre having to resort to your knowledge in a totally different subject because you don't actually know anything about the subject at hand! Why is this guy still making videos on Screwattack? What sane person would ever insult their own audience in that way? And when did this become a discussion about video games as art? I can't be the only one who feels the actual Overthinking in this episode felt even more disorganized and nonsensical than the god awful worthless story always does! I'm sorry Moviebob, but I cannot stand your videos here anymore. I'm done, and I don't think I'm the only one.

you are definitely not "the only one who feels the actual Overthinking in this episode felt even more disorganized and nonsensical" than his story skits
though there are some things to rethink here
i don't think the entire fanbase of mass effect watches his show , and he only said like twice that what he's saying isn't a blanket statement to all gamers
i do however feel that name calling the parts of the fanbase he is addressing for having a differencing opinion as you said is a little weak from him
and while i agree that the movie comparisons are also a little weak especially when talking about a narrative driven game that play's out differently depending on choices you make (since movies don't offer different narratives than the one they already have) you'd be hard pressed to find any blogger in the gaming community with more insightful knowledge on this medium than movie bob......

I do like the commentary about sad ends and how they aren't BAD endings, didn't know the alt end to I Am Legend was supposed to be the real end, sounds better saw another video about the end of mass effect 3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4H_A7SeawU4&feature=related thought it was interesting, though there are spoilers for anyone

I'm going to repeat myself....your actual commentary is pretty good, even if I don't always agree. But your "story line" stuff is on the same level as the Irate Gamer.

Skip it.

God dammit, I've been on arguments all week, and I got a headache from watching this video. So many points, yet I don't think I can address them all, or even stand firm on a particular belief...

Ok... Now I’m pissed, dood... But I’ll try to contain myself my imagining Bob being murdered in hilariously graphics ways within my own head to stop me from doing it in real life and I’ll say this: I extremely disagree, dood... Kinda... Let me elaborate... I agree that “Retake Mass Effect” was fucking retarded... But I have come down and say this: The endings were shit... Being a (trainee) storywriter myself I can get the feeling they’d be better for sequel baiting, not the end of a franchise... So I have to say I’m glad its getting a BETTER ending... A crap tonne of people within Retake Mass Effect were just asking for something just a little better to sign of a beloved series. And yes, its over, dood... It was always meant to be a trilogy and now the licences for it with EA are dead. It had a huge fanbase and was a great series... it deserved at least a slightly better send off than it got... And lastly, the whole “Don’t compare Games to movies argument”... Not valid? Please excuse me as I kick Bob’s face in through the internet for his ignorance to the medium, dood... Video games aren’t even with the same media format, dood... Video games are an “Interactive Media”, while movies are not... allow me to explain why... You can watch a movie a million times and it will always pan out the exact same way... you don’t need to even watch it for it to tell its story... Videos Games require input to tell their story and each play through will always be different from another... be it from something as basic as dying a different number of times to walking down a completely different path, like making a supposedly nice character be evil, dood... This alternating storyline... a storyline that is impossible for a developer to ever complete by the simple fact it must allow someone to mess around within the world and play it their way... oh & comparing it to a “Pick your own adventure” book is more retarded than half the stuff you hear over Xbox live... Maybe its the fact its a story type impossible for a movie to create, dood...

wait how are multiple story choice video games different narrative wise from choose your own adventure books?......

Bob why don't you edit your episodes so there can be a version WITHOUT THE STUPID FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT STORY, seriously man you are like 40, obese and ugly stop playing around with 2D sprites and just do the OVERTHINKING part.
