Just a reminder for people, this is the guy who legitimately had a dream (that he actually described in one of his videos) where he was able to as an adult return to his childhood home, and inside was Miyamoto who handed him a sword and told him it was his duty to protect the purity of gaming from the dudebros. Not kidding.
I love how he sees that consoles are moving towards being more like PCs, and thinks that PCs are going to be the one that becomes obsolete, when it's far more likely that 'consoles' will eventually become pre-packaged budget PCs with a focus on gaming.
I think if you showed people the Steam Deck from the 80’s or 90’s they would be fascinated with a device from the future than whatever MovieBob’s take was on PC’s and PC gaming.
I used to be a fan of his circa 2010 - 2012, before he went fully insane. His SMB3 book honestly sounded like it would be an insightful analysis of 2D level design using SMB3 as a lens or something. The reality is that it was weaponized cringe. He really needs to get laid, but I'm not sure that's possible without money exchanging hands.
Obligatory clarity comment... Bob didn't skip his granma's wedding to play SMB3. It just happened that, while playing for his inane self-congratulatory biography disguised as a SMB3 playthrough that fails as an analysis compared to the following [th-cam.com/video/x3y7CIfCI7E/w-d-xo.html ], he decided to skip the latter part of his granma's funeral to buy an AC unit. THEN he went back to play SMB3 badly.
He needs a Geno Samuel style documentary because he really had Chris Chan delusions. If you ever watched his horrible skits in the “Game Overthinker Adventures” which was his self insert fanfic where used a Zapper and a sword and his multiple personas to save the world from enemies that were all him in costumes.
I can see how someone who never owned a pc would think this 14 years ago. Bob, as always, was behind the times. But not by that muuuuch. People only really started building gaming rigs in what? 2010?
Oh my god you did a vid on Cinema Roberto, that makes me very happy. From central/east europe I wanna say we have a super strong and old PC culture as well. Tbh it's interesting to compare how much of a hallmark consoles are in the west in comparison. Love your commentary bro, it's cool how varied you keep your content but still deliver.
Well, well, well, you covered the video that finally made me consider Bob a lost cause. For what it's worth, I always tried to be a PC Gamer that was more focused on welcoming new people into the fold and showing them the joys as opposed to slagging on console users.
1. Moviebob is the poster boy of what a console peasant, given that he's Strawmaning PCs every other second. 2. Pretty sure that Moviebob doesn't even know what Steam is, let alone that steam allows pc gamers to play more games than console gamers.
Brazil have all the modern consoles available. We had a toy and electronics company called "TecToy" that was authorized by Sega to produce, publish and distribute Sega consoles and video games in Brazil since 1987. Capcom also authorized the country to produce arcades due to the popularity of games such as Street Fighter 2 on arcades. And yes, it's true that consoles were also very expensive, but there were ways around it (cough piracy cough). But nowadays there are people who save their hard earned money to buy a legit PS5.
I used to be a Moviebob fan waaaay back in the 2000s but he’s been in decline forever and yet somehow he sticks around and has a small, Rabbid fan base that Stans for him. Hell in late 2020 he went into a meltdown because he liked “Cuties” then tried to get Memology’s channel taken down for making fun of him, the found out he was stalking Lindsay Ellis on Twitter. But he’s been posting more old Escapist vids on his channel recently so more content for you.
MB doesn't understand that the open nature of the software (and partially the hardware) is ultimately what makes a PC a PC, it's the idea of open-standards allowing third party developers and manufacturers to create for the platform giving flexibility to the end user to do as they want with it. Pretty much all that limits a PC user to do what they want with their hardware is their own expertise. That's why we have emulators and virtual machines on our PCs which require nothing but a double click to install (or ticking a box when using a Linux package manager UI) that allow players to play games from older generation consoles whereas nintendo fanboys will have to pay for the same game every other time they buy a new console from this corporation. Nintendo controls the software, it is not a PC in any way.
I don't play PC games that much as I'm mainly console but I still like to play every few months on my old ass busted PC so coming from a console person he is not with us
I like to imagine Moviebob lumbering around Twitter like a drunken Kejdovec from HROT. Except that he is wearing Captain N cosplay instead of CBN/riot gear and wielding a Nintendo Light gun and a plastic sword instead of a truncheon and a grenade pistol.

MovieBob: the only guy who blocked me for winning an argument
Honestly surprised it got that far. I thought he'd block you for daring to have a different opinion then him.
I belive Bob skipped his grandma's funeral to play 'Super Mario Bros.3'. Not her wedding.
I love how he sees that consoles are moving towards being more like PCs, and thinks that PCs are going to be the one that becomes obsolete, when it's far more likely that 'consoles' will eventually become pre-packaged budget PCs with a focus on gaming.
He supported cuties.
this make me want to go back in time and show people a steam deck
I think if you showed people the Steam Deck from the 80’s or 90’s they would be fascinated with a device from the future than whatever MovieBob’s take was on PC’s and PC gaming.
Ah yes Robert, of the Moving Pictures.
Cinema Robert. Eugenics Bob.

He's not from Jersey...
HE'S FROM BAAAAAAAAASTEN
The fact that people are slowly not knowing who he is as the years go by saddens me.

I consider that a blessing. Let him be forgotten. Let his name fall away.
The idea of him screaming into the void with no one listening is funny to me.
I can see how someone who never owned a pc would think this 14 years ago. Bob, as always, was behind the times. But not by that muuuuch.

I built mine in 2011, and am still using it. Just had to replace the video card after the old one passed on after 12 years of loyal service.

2011: gaming is dead
2022: God of war is on PC
Jeez this Moviebob dude radiates a weird kind of Nintendo fanboy energy
Star Craft is freaking awesome, I should play it again
Update, I reinstalled the game

He still has not learned how to edit a video that does not like an informercial
@@Smiggly2574 does not like what to an infomercial? This is a family channel sir

React to more vids by him, or react to his Twitter.
Or read his awful book about SMB3
Damn I haven't seen movieblob in a while. What an embarrassing human being.
He’s still around reposting old videos on his channel and posting an occasional movie review. I heard he was writing for “Film Theory.”
straight up worst take I ever herd from bob and that's saying something
God damn I play civ on my phone 😭
No idea how this ended up in my recommended feed, but no regrets here, seeing moviebob take another fat L is always fun. :P
