Super Eyepatch Wolf (anime youtuber)

I mean, all of anime youtubers are easy to dislike for different reasons, so I'm not surprised if they do hate each other. The thing I'm annoying about is public feuds

I can kind of see where you’re coming from but I’ve yet to find reasons to dislike SEW or Gigguk.

Gikkuk's sense of humor offends my puritan values?

(on sidenote, I probably should check on what puritan actually means before making more of similar jokes)

Gigguk only annoys you if you're expecting calm, straight, no-nonsense, logical descriptions.

It was a joke, btw. SEW made a comment in the description saying he and Geoff have been friends for years.

Ah, thought so. I'm pretty sure I've seen Geoff cite SEW as his favorite anituber at least once…

Also, MB posted too.

…I've also just learned that Wolf is Irish. I was pretty sure he was Canadian for some reason.

I found out Wolf was Irish in the video he discussed Yu Yu Hakusho's dub and had a small breakdown over one character's atrocious Irish accent (his accent getting progressively thicker the more enraged he got).

I found this guy on my dash covering a subject that’s been in the gaming news - Shenmue.

He really goes into why Shenmue was important when today a lot of people are going “Yeah, but we have Yakuza” like even Jim Sterling was when covering the backlash over the Epic Game store debacle.

…I must say it really is the most beautiful 2004 game ever made in 1999.

I recall Jim saying mostly that Yakuza had aged very poorly and was not very fun to actually play now, not necessarily that it always bad or not an interesting game for when it was released. SEW himself admits as much, saying there were multiple times in his replay that he was bored and frustrated with the game's barebones content (by today's standard), lack of direction and horrible voice acting.

You mean Shenmue, right? Yakuza 1 did age kind of poorly, that’s why we got Kiwami and Kiwami 2.

He appeared in an anime distributor's youtube channel recently. for the first time i got to see what he looks like.

.... :O he is HANDSOME!

That's the quite the history, going from the Ur-Example of Wide-Open Sandbox games to a Cult Classic riding on nostalgia to this day. Tragic is the right word here, and unfortunately it seems like the tragedy has yet to end.

Yeah I meant Shenmue, got my wires crossed.

Its amazing how back then a game can be considered a technical leap in the industry, then only for a couple years later time and improvements since then has made it unplayable.

I don't find them, especially II unplayable. I don't even think GTA III, which many bring up, is a good comparison. I think Shenmue is closer to narrative driven games like What Remains of Edith Finch, especially at the beginning, where zooming on certain objects at Hazuki residence triggers flashback cutscenes.

I've played some Yakuza 0 and even though it improves and streamlines on some aspects, it also has a little bit too much "random" fights, whereas in Shenmue I all fights except for one are mandated by the story and even in II many are easily avoidable.

Patch gives us the stuff that enthralled him this season, including Mob Psycho, Kimetsu no Yaiba, Burning Effects, Atrocity Guide, Firefly Fun House and AEW Wrestling.

This might be becoming my favorite part of his content honestly. So much weird and interesting stuff to discover.

This month, Patch explores the memes, fanfics and various reimaginings of the Simpsons brought by the Internet.

I'm really curious about Bartkira… This seems like such a nonsensical idea on paper…

Little Q&A.

…and man he sounds like a different person. ò.Ô

"I think being an adult and having a shelf full of cute girls and waifus is pretty pathetic, and you need to grow up from it at some point.

So here's my waifu shelf."

He's back!

And it is a Doozy.

Is it me or has Patch become… funnier lately? I don't remember him cracking the occiasional joke like that in his old videos…

He went through a rough time recently, which is why it took longer to come out. I bet he's adding more humor as a result of recovering from his rough spot.

Here’s a topic from Mr. Wolf that isn’t anime related, but is near and dear to my heart - Fake martial artists. Fake being techniques that either don’t work or are completely reliant upon a belief in methods proven not to work, like the infamous "no touch KO" artists.

The highlight of the video is the story he tells about Xu Xiaodong, a chinese MMA fighter who criticized the ineffectiveness of traditional chinese martial arts in real combat and the mysticism applied to them by various people, and the government using and promoting these practices to control and manipulate the populace. In order to prove his point he's accepted challenges by various tai chi masters and defeated them all relatively effortlessly and quickly, but because of that he's been completely socially ostracized and oppressed and humiliated by the government. It probably doesn't help that Xu has also come out in favor of Hong Kong, which just paints an even bigger target on his back. Hard to imagine that anyone could go through that and still keep fighting.

…We're gonna have to remove the "anime youtuber" from this thread's title at this rate. But I really don't mind actually.

It's crazy how two human brains can connect to create a shared illusion… like that old guy who really thought he could use Blood Bending and his "victim" who truly thought he was being bloodbent…
