Fake Newspaper Publications In Video Games – Bobdunga

A wacky picture of Donald Trump in the thumbnail.  Oh yeah.  I’m hoping for some hardcore anti-Trump goodness from our Canadian friend Bobdunga.

I haven’t lived in the US for 20 years, something like this.  I don’t give a fuck about Trump.  I don’t know how good or bad a job he’s doing and I don’t care in the slightest.  Why would I?  It has no effect on me.

Even when I lived in the US, I didn’t give a fuck about this shit.  Would the world be a better place with fucking…Al Gore as the president rather than George W Bush?  Or John Kerry?  Or John McCain instead of Barack Obama?  Or Hilary Clinton instead of Donald Trump?  There’d be no fucking change.

Which of these candidates represents Youtubers making $50/month?  Tell me.  What do these candidates know about the struggles of trying to live off of fifty Youtube bucks a month?  These people won’t even scratch their ass for $50.

But you have people like Bobdunga forever holding these people out like saviours for the working class.  Or the peasant class, in her case.  When has it happened?  When has there ever been a US presidential candidate who had the interests of working people at heart?

Oh, this guy’s going to be different!  He’s different from all of the other rich, corrupt millionaires who disappointed me in the past!  Barrack Obama is really going to change things!  Did he?  No fucking change.  Business as usual.  More wealth removed from the poorest people to be funnelled to the richest people.  More wars for oil.  And you’re still making fifty bucks a month.

But Bobdunga REALLY seems to have it out for Donald Trump.  And as a Canadian, how does it possibly affect her anyway?  Does she think Trump is going to invade Canada?

It’s idiots like this who allow the system to continue.

Now let’s watch this no doubt fabulous video.

Well, this is embarrassing.  It starts with Bobdunga, dressed as a man, pretending to do a news report.  Something about Tom Nook, that raccoon shop owner/banker from Animal Crossing.

Why is she dressed like a man, though?  Why not be a female news reader?

Then she cuts to herself, in a different guise, this time as an on the scene reporter.  She’s wearing a dress which is basically open.  If she had breasts, her breasts would be on full display right now.

I mean, no exaggeration, this thing is cut down almost to her naval.  It’s not something that most women could wear because most women have breasts.

Then she interviews a character from Animal Crossing, over some scandal that I didn’t even understand, to be honest, and the character just replies in the Animal Crossing type gibberish.

Then there’s the intro.  So that was just like a “comedy” teaser, if you will.  Something to get the viewer hooked.  Ummm…I’ll just move on.

I mean, I guess that I appreciate the attempts at comedy.  It’s not really something that the other gamer grrls do.  And there was definitely a joke here.  I got it.  She can’t understand what the Animal Crossing characters are saying.  But I don’t know.  It just went on too long.  And that whole back story about Tom Nook and turnips…I didn’t even get it.

0:45 – Now Bobdunga is wearing a little crop top Batman shirt.  Just put some clothes on, Bobdunga.  Come on.  I’m not excited by this.  You’re a slim woman, you’re attractive, but I’m not jerking off to this.  I’m sorry.  It doesn’t work for me.  Just talk about video games.  The “sex appeal” doesn’t add anything.  It only detracts.  If I want to look at porn, I’ll look at porn.

Then she gives a brief history of newspapers and their eventual decline.  It’s done in a “comical” fashion and she tells a weird story about she used to read the newspaper before coming to school and tell the kids about the news.

Then it’s on to how newspapers still exist in video games.  Paperboy had newspapers.  Some Spider-Man game had newspapers.  Dead Rising had newspapers.

Is this really all this is going to be?  I mean, what can really be said?  Is she going to uncover any interesting easter eggs?  Some wacky shit that was on a newspaper in a video game?  That’s the only way I can see this being remotely worth my time.

8:00 – She goes on about newspapers in the Grand Theft Auto series.  I never even heard of these examples and I’ve played every game.

I kept waiting for her to mention the newspapers that were scattered all over the streets in the first 3-d Grand Theft Auto.  What the fuck was that all about?  Why are there newspapers all over the street?

And that piece of shit lagged so hard.  I remember there being a third party hack that removed the newspapers, in a futile attempt to get this buggy piece of shit working on computers of the day.

To this day, that game lags on my computer.  It was totally unplayable on the computer I had when the game was current, even though my computer at the time comfortably exceeded the minimum game specifications.  It really soured me on the franchise and I really enjoyed the 2-d Grand Theft Auto games.  I had all of them, even fucking Grand Theft Auto: London or whatever it was.

It turns out that the 3-d Grand Theft Auto was just a half-assed port of the PS2 or whatever game.  It still had Playstation code in it.  This would be a problem for many Rockstar games.  Fucking Bully for the PC instructs you to press the triangle button and shit.  I DON’T HAVE A TRIANGLE BUTTON!  I’m playing on a fucking keyboard here, like most PC users.  The game is totally unplayable as a result, and also incredibly laggy.

No issues with Grand Theft Auto 5, though.  They finally got their shit together.

Then she ends the video by discussing why games use newspapers instead of the internet.  Like…why don’t the characters just use the internet to find their news?  And she gives some weird philosophical explanation.

Finally, all of the Patreons get their little shoutout.  Thank you so much, The Autistic Gamer 89 (actual name).  Your $1/month really meant a lot to Bobdunga.

So what was the point of this video?  There wasn’t any.  But it was something different, at least.  I’ll give her that.

– “Wow… strange how Papers Please just isn’t here or even the Republia times, in the two you can see how the big ones manipulate the reality and try to use the ink press as his favor, even in Papers please going more away and show you the people what are accused of crime.Ah yeah and there is Postal 2 too what uses the newspaper as a joke and reflect your how stupid are your actions from the day before, but that one will be… a little risky to show here”

Yeah, it’s true.  She missed loads.  What about Railroad Tycoon?  Or SimCity?  Weren’t there also newspapers in Civilization?  

You can’t really make an exhaustive list because newspapers are in loads of games.  I mean…what the fuck?  What’s the point of this?  

What about a video exploring toilets in video games?  That would be a bit more focused because toilets don’t often appear in video games.

The Journeyman Project is probably the first time that I saw a toilet in a video game.  Obviously, there’s Toilet Kids.  Leisure Suit Larry.  A lot of those Sierra adventure games had bathrooms but I’m trying to remember if you could actually see the toilet in any of them.  I think Police Quest 2, at least.  There was the bathroom in the station, the bathroom in the airport, and the bathroom on the plane.  I’m sure you could see the toilet in at least one of these places.  I think it was even part of the puzzle in the airplane.

The Sims, probably?  I’ve never played it.  Oh, Duke Nukem 3-d.  I think the toilets are even destructible there.  Fallout 3 and New Vegas.  You can drink out of those.  I can’t remember if the earlier games had toilets and I haven’t played Fallout 4.

Are there any in the Grand Theft Auto games?  Not that I can think of.  That’s weird, if true.  Surely, one of these houses has a bathroom you can enter.

Anyway, maybe a topic better suited for James Rolfe.  Top Ten Video Game Toilets.
