Got it.

What an odd way to spend your free time, constructing a 1h 20m review of a thread the internet doesn't care about, on a forum that's tucked in a rather niche corner of a vast ocean. I don't know what drives these people.

See, this is a youtube video I'd watch

How did you find this?

So, in summary, he spends an hour and a half ranting about a thread going really off topic in the Off Topic forum - and he spends a lot of this time...off topic himself?

OK.

I know I'll only be satisfied when this guy posts another video about this thread about his video about another thread on which the pressing issue of the TV show "The Slap" is discussed at length by tabletop wargamers. The struggle is real folks!

This guy could have cured cancer by now if he put an equal amount of effort into it.

I found it and posted about it in the Super Secret Mod Board told Ketara about it. I came across it because I was watching a vid on YT of someone complaining about BoardGameGeek and I thought, i wonder if there are any vids about Dakka Dakka. And there was one.

Guys, I think I found my new calling in life! See ya!

Ah, so it's your alt account!

No no, all my vid reviews of Dakka Dakka threads are much more concise.

His vid reviews of the posters though.... well they get a bit ranty and ravy.

I like the part at 7:20 where he figures out what exaggeration is.

Also, after 5 minutes of listening, I realized that HotManSauce better watch the feth out. This guy wants to child discipline you.

As soon as I saw my Tag I was like.
Ohhhhhhhh FETH
If I remember, It was me arguing against disciplning a child with slapping.
Oh Yeah, and I got confused with the OP and thought it was actually about slapping a child.

So does my girlfriend, but I dont let her do that.

Very possibly the worst video I've ever watched...and I only made it through a minute and a half.

I guess some people have A LOT of free time on their hands.

I wonder if this thread about the video review of a Dakka thread will in turn generate another video reviewing the thread discussing the video review of a thread.

Wait...is that right?

WE MUST GO DEEPER.

I definitely vote for a series of video review of Kitchen Remodelers or India Magic Skin Creams.

Still a better use of time than the entire "US politics" thread.

Maybe he'll come back to do a 2 hour trilogy on the US politics thread.

While I am upset that I am not e-famous. (Am I? I didn't watch any of that, have I posted in that thread? I WANT MY 15-30 MINUTES OF YOUTUBE SENSATION FAME!) I have to say, I am not shocked at all that it is a thread started by Asterios.

Heh, I remember reading that thread and deciding it was better to walk away than post in it.

Meanwhile, is this the only way this guy could think of to make a comment on that thread. Did he get to the end of that hour long piece and think "gak, I just realised that if I really want to say my piece I could have just posted it in the thread... I've just wasted an hour of my life. Oh well, let's upload to youtube."

Plot twist: It is Asterios, but he is banned and cannot post in it anymore.

who is Asterios?

Someone who is not banned from the forums. Whether or not he's banned from OT, he's not posting in this thread but is still an active member so maybe not drag him into this for laughs mayhaps?

I was legitmatly asking, I have not be active on the OT for awhile. So I was curious about why people brought him/her up.

That wasn't directed at you. DJones linked the original thread this video is about on page one. You can refresh yourself there (he was the OP).

I just don't think we should be making jokes about him here, especially if he is banned from OT and unable to respond to it. I might push up against the forum rules on courtesy, but I do try to restrict myself to people actually posting in a thread.

Here's a link to my analysis of Gandair's youtube comments section for that video....
Actually let's not do that.

I hope it's 3 hours long.

Honestly, I could think of better things to do than dissect a forum thread for an hour & a half...
