thread of tim rogers content (do not read if you hate tim rogers)

actually still quite depressing!

i stand corrected. i kinda wanna take that guy out for ice cream.

tim rogers, if you ego surf your way here by google, i live in brooklyn and will happily take you out for ice cream at ice and vice if you want. we can talk about not video games. Or Dark Souls!

tim has reviewed animal crossing new horizons, FF7 remake, and cyberpunk 2077:

All good, tho the Animal Crossing one is less tight and more depressed than most of his stuff. Dude is the most too-smart-for-his-own-good person I know of.

announcement: as many of you have decoded from my recent videos, i have decided to step away from full-time work at @Kotaku effective today, in order to focus on @ActionButton's #TRUCKHECK, other Exciting Endeavors, and my health. pic.twitter.com/FIDFtOuG5z

more in the thread if you click thru

Kind of a bummer, but he did seem pretty unhappy in that job. I'll look forward to whatever dude does next.

He seems cheerfully unburdened in that one

i enjoyed learning about the lore of the pink sonic shirt with japanese text that you can buy at target

Guess that's me unsubbing from Kotaku's youtube channel then. No loss really as their non-Rogers content is pretty much worthless.

Tim is on the mend from the ‘vid and the patreon is live

HELLO! i have a patreon: one huge, monthly, hour-long, meticulous, unconventional video review of a game i love. i have 37 videos in the planning stages already. https://t.co/JvTEJSALnx

sure why not

Daddy needs medicine!

i googled tim rogers patreon to grab the link, and saw this tweet, which confused me because i forgot we're in 2020 and jsut saw "current month, current year"

(hang on a second: no, i am NOT making a patreon. i get paid a salary, everybody. and no, i am not going to stream "on the weekend." weekends are for walking around manhattan, watching the @criterionchannl, eating pizza, and reading books)

omg and the patreon link is in the tweet you posted. i am just crushing it on the internet today. absolutely smashing it

once he gets this running, i am down to pay

same

He’s got nerve surgery to pay for! Also he’ll be steaming FF7R all day Friday.

I'm of course on board. Joined at the mysterious $5 tier.

he's up to $6000 a month, he deserves it all and more!

whoa, really? i'm not sure i've seen a patreon go that high, wow! he does deserve it. he was the last good thing remaining at kotaku, which he almost singlehandedly kept afloat the last year or so

WHY DID YOU LEAVE KOTAKU?

I found myself suddenly surrounded by numerous offers and opportunities to get paid more by doing less work to produce better content, while also reaching a wider audience. Ain't that the dream? Also, I want to be able to focus on our (Action Button Entertainment's) game TRUCK HECK more.

Also, the CEO was an idiot.

premiering at 4PM Pacific / 7PM Eastern / 23:00 UTC, the first Action Button review, of Final Fantasy VII Remake, over 3 hours

dope but i think i will wait until after i've played the game to watch 3 hours of tim rogers about it

gonna do the opposite

i don't think i'll ever play the real games. so i'm looking forward to experiencing the remake series through tim rogers

whew, that first hour is fun but exhausting

as someone who has never played ffvii and has no intention of playing ffvii or the remake this was amazing. only trouble is that i couldn't help reading everything in tim's voice for the rest of the day

"what a philosophical nightmare"

I've also never played FFVII outside of the demo, and probably never will play it, but I find it very fascinating as a pop-cultural relic, so this was worth watching for me. I'll probably avoid his video on TLoU until I've actually played that, though.

two hours into this it has mostly convinced me i shouldn't play it. Good review! Saved me a lot of time!

this was fine. i mean i watched three hours without being bored. but i wasn’t at any point wowed enough by anywhere he went with it that i felt, afterwards, it had been a sound investment of my time. which i suspect is how i would feel if i got the ffvii remake so i guess it fits

INSERT CREDIT PODCAST is happening again btw and i kind of prefer his snide persona to his earnest persona so I’ve been digging that a lot

only trouble is that i couldn't help reading everything in tim's voice for the rest of the day

my girlfriend accused me of doing this. i was totally unconscious of it.

well, here's three hours on the last of us

One of his best videos imo

his certainty is infectious

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9V8GPtvQEI

i found this entertaining and it offered a lot more info about the games he's worked on than i'd picked up from his videos

i ran out of my crohn's disease medication a couple weeks back. coincidentally, i now know what the symptoms of crohn's disease feel like. also, i am experiencing an outbreak of shingles. i spent all day on the phone today, and learned i can't get health insurance until 2021.

dude's really been going through it

THREE AND A HALF HOURS ABOUT DOOM!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38zduHkwGcc

this is very much my content of choice from him.

also this is how i feel about the nfl in 2020
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43a2H7LQ1Xs

Thank god

pretty stoked to dig into that doom video

alright, i just got through the first chapter of Doom and fuck, it's PROUSTIAN

i spent ten minutes explaining to my gf who this guy was before i hit play (there was a considerable digression about patreon) and got her to agree to try this video to see if she could see what I liked about him. she couldn't even make it past the list of releases.

Your GF is a champ for sticking it out that far, dude is definitely an acquired taste. I daresay this is the best thing he's done yet. I'm amazed at how many times he cuts away to that Romero/Carmack photo and it is equally hilarious every time. Also amazed at how he seems to be aging in reverse.
