Does a Let’s Play qualify as a web series?

My wife and I have been watching several Let’s Plays on Youtube by MasaeAnela. Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, and Tales of Symphonia so far I think.

watching someone else play a video game was considered a form of torture. 😉

Why is that? …Maybe if they have no idea what they’re doing.

But a Let’s Play’s enjoyment hinges more on the quality of the commentary than the skill of the gameplay.

I just remember other kids in the neighborhood or my older sisters and brothers would play video games and I would sit and watch and be really bored because I wanted to be the one playing it.

What about ghost sightings?

I saw a ghost when I was a kid.

There’s no way that Channel Awesome or That Guy with the Glasses, or whatever the hell they’re called, will be able to recover from this. They lost dozens of their contributors in this walkout. It looks like the CEO is facing the sex assault allegations, the Nostalgia Critic (Doug Walker) is facing negligence allegations, and the brother of the Nostalgia Critic is facing some really tough allegations of mismanagement and negligence. What a freak show.

I never watched him because I don’t watch YouTube videos.

Until quite recently, he was never on Youtube. He had his own site.

Regarding Malla; I’d love it if they brought that into the light and canonized it.

I mean, Lumpy has already turned up in a canon novel, so Malla’s canonicity is at least implied.

Not necessarily. Lumpy could’ve been from a previous marriage.

I’m elderly enough to remember when watching someone else play a video game was considered a form of torture. 😉

Still unemployed because every single available job in my town sucks.

Knife violence and gun violence are not comparable. Also, speaking of gun violence, it seems like conservatives really hate survivors of mass shootings:

Alex Jones and his crew went after the families of the Sandy Hook shooting and now everyone’s going after the kids that survived Parkland because they have the audacity to stand up for themselves.

I want to see a standalone movie where the imperial officers that survived the events of Return of the Jedi get tried and hung for war crimes.

At the very least, I’d like some kind of Disneyland attraction that revolves around that.

A Star Wars “Judgment at Nuremberg?” I’d be down for that.

Yeah, I think that’d be interesting. I’ve mentioned it on here in years past before.

It’s always a thrill when Criterion gets ahold of a movie you’ve been wanting to get a good blu-ray release. I just read that they’re releasing Bowling for Columbine this summer and I think Midnight Cowboy in a couple months too.

It’s almost like the law wasn’t needed at all, only an excuse for it.

Yep, this law is trash and shouldn’t have been passed. We’ll just have to add it to the long list of assaults on freedom made by the Trump administration.

Sounds like it’s all under control over there in the nanny state.

“You could be a mum or dad, big brother, big sister, a friend, a girlfriend, a boyfriend who knows somebody carrying a knife, leaving their home with a knife, involved in criminality - there’s no honour in keeping that a secret,” he said.

“You should try and prevent that person carrying a knife, leaving home with a knife.”

Insanity. “Just disarm yourselves, populace, and don’t worry: the government will keep you safe.”

Addendum:

Knives bought online will in future have to be collected in person, with retailers responsible for checking that all buyers are 18 or older. New powers are also proposed for the police to seize banned weapons such as zombie knives, knuckledusters and throwing stars if they are found in someone’s home, and to arrest those involved.

I can’t even wrap my head around the fact that we actually live in a world where things like this are going on. I carry a pocket knife every day because it’s useful in many situations at home or out and about or at work or really anywhere. It’s crazy to think that could be considered a criminal act in some places.

I can’t even wrap my head around the fact that you can’t even wrap your head around that fact.

I’m guessing that he’s saying that they’re obviously not dangerous enough to warrant this action since a butcher knife would be just as easy to get and just as deadly.

If Swiss Army type knives are allowed, I don’t see what the problem is. I can’t think of a single good reason to be carrying a knife besides those listed. Honestly I’m struggling to find what’s wrong with anything in that law.

The main problem I see is that there is no clear and universal definition for a “disguised knife.” What about a switch-blade? I own one of those.

You carry a switch-blade? What for? Are you auditioning for West Side Story?

I’m always afraid I’ll cut myself when opening or closing a normal pocket knife. And also, maybe I just want one.

I know, I just felt the need to say it.

I want to see a standalone movie where the imperial officers that survived the events of Return of the Jedi get tried and hung for war crimes.

I’m really excited that Criterion Collection is releasing Bowling for Columbine on blu-ray this year. I’ve been wanting to revisit that one for a long time. Tragically it’s arguably even more relevant now than it was when it first came out.

You can change it to dark blue in your settings.

Isn’t that interesting? I don’t hear any uproar from second-amendment activists over that.

That reminds me, I supposedly didn’t used to be as unpleasant as I am now. I’m not sure, though, the last few years are a blur.

I’m really glad that the emoticons on this forum are bigger on computer screens now because the bigger the emoticon, the more sincere the emotion behind its use.

George Carlin also pointed out you can use a the sharp edge of a sheet of paper as a weapon.

I love that man. By the way, this is actually the third time that I’ve quoted Carlin’s line on the New York Times and this is the third time you’ve reminded me that he pointed out that a sheet of paper could be a weapon. 😃

That’s not too bad. I don’t mind people having to be 18 (or 16) to buy knives, especially since you have to be seventeen to buy your own ticket to certain movies, but the others seem a little much to me.
