RockCock64 along with what could be salvaged from the Best Gamers are making videos again, with a focus on more straight-talk reviews and abandoning a lot of their shtick.

That sounds awesome. RockCock64 was the only tolerable one amidst all of the belching and farting and slurred speech that a lot of the rest of them had.

Oh great, RockCock64. The nasally one-trick-pony. Hopefully this time he'll stop speaking through his nose into a shitty microphone about annoying, unfunny bullshit. I've seen less obnoxious videos of Family Guy.

That Sleeping Dogs review was pretty great. The Diablo 3 one was alright too. A few gripes here and there but since they make me laugh either way, I don't mind.

In his most recent review, Borderlands 2, he talks about how horrible the writing is and points out a lot of the meme references and easter eggs without talking about how a good amount of them are easter eggs, i. e. something you have to search for. He also resorts to a bit of ad-hominem by calling Anthony Birch a "stupid asshole" for releasing the game with said bad writing rather than going into more detail as to why his writing is bad.

And apparently the next Loudhouse review is not going to be by RockCock. Hopefully there will be less slurred speech and farting.

Easter eggs are the same thing. You don't ever really read a sign that says; "this way if you like really bad jokes that you've heard a million times before!" If you're going to spend time developing an easter egg, it should be at least a little bit interesting and rewarding, and maybe even impact the gameplay experience. I'm not sure if this was the case in that random Minecraft thing but I know they made a reference to Dark Souls that you had to waste some of your gameplay resources on.
At that point, I don't feel like the easter egg is being used right. You're essentially performing an obscure, backwards task in-game just so you can see what amounts to a 15-second youtube video in content. It becomes sort of disengaging and pointless.

But yeah, that review was kind of garbage. He went through his "memes are bad" point for way too long without really being funny or saying anything constructive. Don't think he even mentioned the game's plot once other than "post-apocalyptic", and from what I've already seen, it looks pretty bad and has more than a few holes in it. He definitely could have done a better job at that instead of throwing a shit-fit about so little a point in the game.

e: Well not the game, the people who made the game. Digging around the developer's twitter looking for whatever dumb thing he said isn't funny or related.

You actually do get rewards from the Minecraft Easter Egg. There are two weapons that you can get, two skins you can get, and sometimes there is a purple Minecraft ore block or blocks that contain chunks of Eridium. The loot from killing the Creepers is randomly generated, so you may have to come back to get the guns or the skins and such. The Double Rainbow Easter Egg gives you an achievement/trophy.

But the Dark Souls Easter Egg is more of a traditional Easter egg in that it's just there for people to discover, like the name of the dude who made the game Adventure for the Atari. Easter eggs aren't always there to give you something. A good amount of them are like "Oh hey you went through all of this effort to get here, why don't you see this cool thing we made."

The plot actually does make sense once you play through the game.

I don't think there's a point where the plot stops or begins making sense? It's pretty straightforward. There's not a point where you go "oh yeah okay that makes no sense" because it's about as clear cut as a story can get.

New video with KARNISAURUS reviewing Binding of Isaac. He discusses how the game has good concepts, but the art, the controls, and lackluster attempts at humor detract greatly from it.

I think the score was pretty harsh but the rest of the review is spot on

That was pretty great. Was getting sick of RockCock64's voice anyway.
