      +knight gaurd jimmy kimmel made great jokes about the videogamers, only little boys and fanboys are getting angry for that stuff he said, and he made also good points about it, so much that 2 famous youtubers explained to him the meaning of all.
      We should stop pretending that the community is based on adults, the most players around the world are kids pretending to be adults thought a keyboard/controller.
      That's why people cannot accepts comedy and criticism, which points out how much ignorant we are and how dangerous a community like this can be.

      it's true, I was more angry at the people having fits in the comments, wishing cancer & death on his family, helping cement that stereotype of the angry, sad and lonely, developmentally stunted guy playing video games in his room.
      I still thought the interview he conducted with Markiplier and Missesmae was reaaaaly cringe and neither side came out of it looking very good

      I immediately remap any stupid buttons as soon as I can in any game I play.
      Sometimes the tutorial is so long I kind of get used to it, but it's torture going back and forth between games, so I just remap it and the game just suddenly feels right.

      I saw this live on tour and it will stick with me forever, my best mate and I were literally in stitches sliding out of our chairs, crying with laughter and this old lady next to us just did not have a clue she was just staring at us in horror like we were cases for the asylum and like the whole world no longer made any sense, which just made it all the funnier as it reinforced the wonder at a joke which hit home so much for us but that was so alien to others you'd never expect in a mainstream standup routine.

      @darrenmcroy5881 10 лет назад +45

      Eleglas No, no, it's simple! You just have to equip a non-disguise camo and a CQC weapon, then grab someone by just barely pressing the circle button while right behind them, while being sure not to move at all, and hold it down but not very firmly, then simultaneously release that button and press down and hold the left thumbstick, then release the thumbstick and hold circle again (lightly, mind), then repeat for repeat interrogations. What's so hard about that?

      Matt Allen DSP deserves some of the hate he gets. He's an illogical gamer. He complains about a game not helping him and, as soon as the guy in the game is about to give him advice, he tells him to shut up and skips the dialogue. He's a frustratingly stupid moron.

    haha ,never heard a stand up comic talk so in depth about a game, that is awesome. I love how even when he starts talking about games, he makes the first reference (besides mentioning the Wii lol) about MGS's controls. I hated them when I started, but got used to them, never will like them though. I prefer MGS3:Subsistence (controls basicaly same, but the new camera view helps with it so much) and onwards (in the series) controls.

      Have you played 3rd one? To aim, you have to gently press square, to shoot you have to firmly press it, except it never works due to dualshock buttons not being responsive enough. Also you can potentially aim from cover, but i never succeeded in it.
