0:00 INTRO

3:05 ADULTS SHOULDN’T PLAY VIDEO GAMES
5:04 GAMING IS CONTRIBUTING TO THE MALE LONELINESS EPIDEMIC

holy shit its scott the woz
Scott the Woz was swapping between quality video yapping and high on the zaa
26:39 Also relating to this point. Coming back to, say, fortnite every now and then, ain't much different from millennial's who still buy the latest cod. Except one's update is free, and the other is 60 bucks.
C:
ive never seen scott be so chill
scott and spencer need a podcast or something
Holy shit GIRLFRIEND REVIEWS!?!?!?!
It's official! All of my Fave Youtubers Know each other!!
18:50 Scott is also missing a key point that a lot of people pushing for this stuff in games ALSO don't play these games. I mean, look at Concord. It was an HR Manager's wet dream and it completely flopped because NO ONE bought it, not even the people who were lauding it as a perfect example of Diversity and Inclusion. It's a power struggle between two groups who don't give a shit about games, but want gamers to agree with them. 90% of gamers do not give a shit if a character is or isn't lgbt/poc/whatever. They care if the game/story/characters are well written and well developed first and foremost.
I love Alpha in this video. He has such a down to earth outlook on channel creation and the gaming sphere that all of his sentences seem so quotable!
This panel is incredible
I think having a 5-minute segment about "wokeness" in video games was a mistake. It just invites the conversation and having it mainly be 5 minutes of strawman arguments just paints a picture of bad-faith. This is coming from someone who hates the anti-woke shit, btw.
Y's girl my beloved
Anything that unironically uses the word "woke" in its argument is the worst take. Just because of the word "woke" being there.
Scott the Wozzed out of his mind on the good stuff
24:40 also the big review companies like ign directly influencing salaries or bonuses of devs incentivises them to give 7/10 because 6/10 games the devs get 5k dollars withdrawn from their salaries…
3:20 adults have responsibilities, as long as those responsibilities are met and relationships are maintained – any hobby is free reign. There are games you can spend 45 minutes each evening playing.
Theres the new Zeldas spexificslly designed to be 5-10 minute puzzles in the shrines so you could literally play 15 minutes while your newborn naps and then be back on diaper duty…
16:51 HOLY SHIT thats a REALLY good point
Gaming did go woke
16:50 Some real shit was being said from Alpharad, scott, and Girlfriend Reviews.
Damn good selection of folks – they are gamers as a career, but they make content in different ways
I think another iconic glitch I would put at S tier would be SM64’s Backwards Long Jump, aka the BLJ. It’s got that funny energy, while being a huge cultural icon for speed running in general.
I CAN’T BELIEVE ALPHARAD AND SCOTT THE WOZ GOT THE WOKE MIND VIRUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (obvious sarcasm by the way)
the is the biggest crossover of my life
We need an episode of either ”I spent a day with…” or ”Assumptions” with @Caddicarus!! Or both, that’d be great!
“i played frogger man… it’s all i’m thinking about rn”, i thought yall were kidding but he’s flying highhh
I’m Scott
From?
Woz
Where is Anthony tho?
Goated collab between Alpharad, Girlfriend Revies and Scott the Woz is insane
Dream blunt rotation holy shit
I needed that introduction because I didn't recognized Scott without his character voice
I would love to see literally any of these guys guest on a tntl or anything else on Smosh, or even a "Spent a day with" here.
"Woke" in gaming is too ambiguous a term since too many people have different definitions and lines to draw. However, I would say it becomes a problem when stuff like forced diversity and movement messenging is put into already established games/ip's for little to no reason other than pandering.
It’s the guy who owns Sonic Jam
