|  "Additional thoughts"
, posted Sat 3 Jan 13:13:
MTV just reaired the show so I rewatched it to better understand what the hell I was watching. I'm just updating this post with my thoughts since it's not important enough to warrent a new reply.
quote:
(And how do you feel Seanbaby did, really?)
He did horrible, but it's not really his fault.
He's not an actor and probably hasn't had any professional voice coaching, so his talking at one million words a second was probably him just being nervous and worried about getting the intros done in the allowed amount of time.
As for what he was saying, I assume he wasn't the writer because everything he said sounded like someone trying to emulate his style, and while that could be possible it never happens when they TRY to emulate his style, if they try to they just end up writing like a moron referencing his site. "So Aquaman LOVES Hostess fruit pies and his face was rocked by Mr.T who kicked his Brain's Ass!" see, not funny! The show's writers seemed more concerned with emulation then being funny (or were they not trying to be funny?)
Added Later: Actually I gave the writers too much credit, I don't think they were trying to emulate Sean so much as just writing like idiots... "the kung fu fighting Mayor of Rad City", "I don't trust magicans"? Why did they feel the need to change Metro to Rad? that really ruins the whole joke and turns it from a reference to silly idea behind Haggar to random stupidty... and does anyone understand the magican thing?
I like how the show also focused more on the sub-cultures around the games then the games themselves that was an interesting new direct for making a show about videogames extremely lame.
Added Later: For the record not all cosplayers care about each other as the crazy lady in the FF segment said... I dressed as Faust last year and will do it again too but let it stand for the record I HATE quite a few cosplayers(and I take it no one here is shocked by that)... anyone who actually tries to be "in character" is insane and needs to be hit by a bus or something (they don't need to die or anything, just maybe get a little common sense knocked into them)
Rest of Update:
I hadn't realized how bad the "talking to an unseen person" was until I really paid attention... Seanbaby rarely looks directly into the camera, again this could be because he's nervous or it could be the insane jump cutting made sure he never knew where to look.
I find it odd WWE Smackdown and Def Jam Vendeta tied... I just find it hard to believe that two wrestling games made into the countdown at the EXACT same place, I'm not saying MTV falsified the results of the 'voting' I'm just saying Zelda in number 1 certainly does imply you respect 'the classics' does it not?
The NESkimo's cover of the Zelda theme didn't sound like the Zelda theme at all (at least the parts MTV played maybe parts of it do!) and Hey you know what! I play DDR, Cosplay, AND my cell-phone plays a version of the Zelda theme... MTV do you realize how fucking uncool that makes you if I, the biggest dork ever created, share traits with people on your shows? Well just so we're clear: VERY VERY VERY
Was the guy talking about MGS2 a Konami employee? He was in front of a MGS wall painting and was talking like a representative would (going on about how revolutionary the game was and how it changed standards) Even if he wasn't he annoyed me.
MTV needs to learn not everything that isn't Osbornes or Real World is a "Documentary"... the special had the "MTV Docs" bumper before it started, as does their Urben Legend Show and True Life... True Life they could maybe get away with but the others is a strech.
This picture is unusally orange no?

Your post reminds me of possibly hundreds of other sites made by teenagers (I'm guessing) who- tried to copy seanbaby.com humor. I don't care about seanbaby.com, but when people copy it it's pretty bad.
Now that there is an MTV thread, there should be a new thread about something good to counteract the MTV thread's evil.
