The level of smugness is what makes it unwatchable for me. The producers are just so incredibly pleased with themselves.
Am I the only person who doesn't like ExtraCreditz?

So, anyway. Guys, lets talk about pancakes. Greasy, thick pancakes.
I like mine super-thin, but tell me more...
I don't know why I bothered. This forum is filled with nothing but BioDrone who are anticipated for the overrated Mass Effect franchise. A franchise tailor made for idiots, just like Skyrim and Halo.

Yepp, because everyone fall into those nicely defined groups that you made, with no room for diversity. Everyone likes the same things!
I for one have no interest in ME, or Halo. But I do love Skyrim, and Street fighter, and uncharted, and the god damn Batman.
I might even enjoy some "The longes Journey" on the side! I AM SO UNIQUE!

Oh wow. You're trying way, way too hard. It truly takes a special level of stupidity to post the things that you are posting.
Honestly, I can't even bring myself to laugh at you. I feel terrible for you, knowing that you're destined to live your life being angry and dismissive at the world for liking things that you do not.

So, anyway. Guys, lets talk about pancakes. Greasy, thick pancakes.It depends how thick you're talking here, I like them thinner so I can eat more of them, and lemon juice man, loooooots of lemon juice!
I mix pancake batter into my omelets, always makes 'em fluffy and slightly sweet.
Shut the fuck up! Nobody asked for your opinion you retard-strong cheesedog!I don't know why I bothered. This forum is filled with nothing but BioDrone who are anticipated for the overrated Mass Effect franchise. A franchise tailor made for idiots, just like Skyrim and Halo.

The only good thing to come of this thread is the desire it instilled in me to make some pancakes. Chopped some apples up, put some cinnamon and sugar in to the mix. Life is good.
You guys wanna play a game? Let's guess Jamian's age! I'll start: 15.

Its "The Longest Journey" God your spelling is awful. And you love Skyrim? LOL! Talk about the low standards and poor taste most faggots have these days.
Again with all that anger. Oh well I can rest knowing that the games I play, and personality I have doesn't offend anyone. And I'm really sorry for having 1 letter typos on an internet forum. also, It is "It's" or "it is", not Its. That's called a genitiv "s", used for ownership. such as "we had a fridge. Its door was white." And now you know, and knowing is half the battle.
But be careful who you offend, one day you might offend someone who isn't as tolerant as many people online are. Just some sound advice.
Let's do one better: what is Aunt Jemima's age?! You know, the lady on the syrup container! I'll start! She's like one-hundred and thirty-seven.@Napalm said:

On top of the Famous Amos
I feel like I've never had amazing pancakes, just okay ones from mix. As for this topic, what made you think you would get a positive response here? This is something I'd expect from the Gametrailers board, but I don't think I've ever seen anyone post like this on GB.
But your stupid 4chan-speak bullshit is even worse, so I'm not totally on your side either.

@jamian9210: Flagged, nothing you say from now on can have any value or relevance. Using the word faggot is like stamping the word idiot on your forehead.
It's just a word. Context is important though, and the context the OP used is, well, stupid.

While I get what you're saying, I feel like someone needs to observe that there's really only one context that faggot exists or is used in.

@jamian9210: Yeah, Extra Credits can be real fuckin preachy and pretentious and philosoph-lite. A lot of it does feel way too cute and "indie games are the future!! maybe we should all just hug it out and get along!" pretending to be super thought-provoking and an awesome bastion of hope. But your stupid 4chan-speak bullshit is even worse, so I'm not totally on your side either.
It weird how i don't get that wibe out of that at all... Every time I watch it I find myself enlightened. I don't see the issue in learning the next generation of game developers how to make more enganging stories and better games. Even if it's just by learning how to do leveling well in puzzle games. I don't know. \(o.O)/ I'm not a game developer.
LEMON? Really?American pancakes are weird, in Europe we have awesome thin pancakes that you put sugar and lemon on and roll up. Yum. I guess you guys call them crepes but s'just pancakes in Ireland.

I see where he's coming from. I agree with a lot of what the Extra Creditz guys say, but I personally find their tone to be very pretentious for the gross amount they oversimplify issues.

I could go for some pancakes right now.
good call. anyone else?
Same. Waffles >pancakes.
Not so much morals as philosophy. But yes, they do state pretty clearly they believe video games to be an art form in its infancy, so how you feel about their videos stems very directly from your reaction to that idea. I'm pretty fond of the whole thing personally.I never liked ExtraCreditz. Sounded too much like he was pushing his morals on people.

That's a general way to look at it, but the word itself has become less of a disparaging term for homosexuals and is used more to describe stupid, retarded, and/or foolish people like the OP. That's the modern context, anyhow. I am not dumb, and do recognise that there are many homophobic douchebags out there that still feel the need to disparage and berate homosexuals. My goal is to point out that the word's meaning has changed over the last few decades.
@Oldirtybearon: @iAmJohn:
On the one hand, I don't like thought crimes, or people telling you what you can't say. However, there are some words such as Nigger, and Faggot which have enormous potential to offend. If you want to use them, it had better be in a truly brilliant screenplay, or something else of artistic, or academic value. If you just throw these words out there, irregardless of their "new" meaning, you have shown yourself to be inarticulate, unintelligent, and inconsiderate of the feelings of others. This leads me to disregard any other thoughts you may have.
While I hate agreeing with the idiot in the room, I don't really care for it at all. The few times I listened to it I didn't really agree with anything they said, and the presentation of the videos don't do anything for me.
Well for example their last episode was supposed to be about how American RPGs grew up to be different from Japanese RPGs, but the only points they made were:@I_smell said:

- RPGs and JRPGs are two different genres.
- Did you notice they're two different genres?
- The games are different.
- JRPGs are made in Japan.
- These two genres are made in different countries. That's why they're different!
- I guess the term "RPG" doesn't really mean the same thing nowadays. If you think about it.
- This is an INTERESTING topic! Expand your mind! We're gonna need like 5 more episodes to cover this one.
Being pretentious means to make a topic seem more grandiose and flowery and amazing than it really is. The way they spell things out and book-end the episodes with this triumphant uplifting fanfare, you'd think they were talking about something amazing, but it's usually something the Bombcast would sum up in about 2 minutes of regular chat.
I liked the episode they made about producers, cos nobody really knows what a producer does. I like some episodes, but most of em are just way too much enthusiasm put into something that isn't really that interesting.
If you're interested in how games get made, DEFINATELY look up some GDC or DICE talks or something on Gamespot.
One time my mom said she made banana pancakes but when I took a bite there was no banana in there.
That ruined my day :(
@TobbRobb said:
This is hilarious in the dumbest way possible.
And for all you waffle loving douchebags, have you ever had a salami and cheese pancake? IT'S FUCKING AWESOME!
That sounds both terrifying and delicious. Where do they even sell those?
@jamian9210: There is a good chance that they are kind of pretentious. But on the other hand you come off as a raving jackass witch is way worst. Also I love the fact that you call them consolefags and now you come off as a BFfag or in your words a BF fanboy so someone has a diffient view that you get over it.
P.S.

I'm sorry... I really didn't think something ment to inspire you to read about it yourself and come up with your own oppinions. They lay out their oppinions in such a way that if you object to any of them it's easy to counter them for youself. They're not always right, but nobody are. FFS I'm currently studying physics and everything has to be done in a fairly pretentious manner or I'd expect everyone who attends the same lectures i do to just constantly fall asleep.
