Congratulations

You deserve it.

You do deserve it.
I know why you won the MyVidsDontSuck contest though. Sure, the other videos were good, but they lacked, well, insight-- they were for entertainment purposes only, not something you generally agreed (or disagreed) with.

If someone finds something they agree with, they'll be more inclined to vote for that video, over something that just is meant to make them laugh.

I'll be looking forward to your videos, man. Especially the next one-- I don't know if I'll agree or disagree but if I disagree, I won't hate it, I'll just contradict it with my own views.

The Shades said...

Good insight Twinmill. I think that's why I voted for him as well. I guess more people agreed with Bob's opinion than those who disagreed. Glad you all enjoyed it.

Congratulations. Although you probably don't have the popularity of some of the bigger names out there, I think you bring far more valuable content than they do. Keep up the good work.

I thought it was actually pretty interesting to see you drift between your two accents... is that a conscious sort of thing or does it happen on its own in conversation?

Actually a very insightful interview. Nice to be able to see the 'real' Bob for once.

So, was the GO in the can episode 28 or episode 29?

The Shades said...

I did this interview after EP 28 came out, so it'll be EP 29. What it's going to be about, even i don't know. I'm looking forward to see what it is.

cogratulations, game over aka moviebob aka bob. by the for the twilight review take look at Harveyvile and Shonen Jump. twilight try to not follow the norm but it fails to do that greatly. Look at casper, him and Wendy the good witch relation the most edgy of love couples, they were the most sweetist couple to be sceen I had to do some research and long wait to get knowledge on them. Due to movie being a total bomb. I swear they need to put a little more thought with Casper , Wendy or any of the other characters when being in the big screen movies, Shame they were great role models with alot edge into them and done with subltily and syle for being misunderstood character fighting with thir belifs against their own kind and befriending people they fear with most out are failure makes them strong characters for trying unlike the other newbie mary sues and gary stues. You know what Im pointing at dont spare the rod with these bober they bring the most shame
this isn't time for giving sugestion. it time for cheer you are in the internet greaatist thing to be sceen and heard. You provide a very great amount of food for thought. three cheers to the game overthinker

Congratulations Overthinker.

YOu know, I bet you get this a lot but you should really consider doing panels at conventions.

People really are ready to think again, and your part of a movement that is puching for thought, and in a medium that isn't exactly known for thinking. It is for this you have my highest praise.

Keep'em thinking buddy

Speaking of the "public option" in games, I always imagined that the world of Grand Theft Auto has the absolute best universal health care imaginable. No matter how often you get shot, beaten or blown up, you always leave the hospital right as rain a few minutes later. Of course, the logic extends to everyone else in Liberty City, so you aren't really committing murder, just aggravated assault and reckless endangerment. (Given that there is no real lasting harm, maybe that is why you only ever get a slap on the wrist and small fine.)

Incidentally, I'm also convinced their mechanics have 8 years of college and are government subsidized as well. Flaming engine block to good as new in 30 seconds or your money back.
