The Ever-Amusing Youtube Subscriber Count

It's always interesting to watch my subscriber count change after I upload a video or series of videos. Lately the number always seems to drop by 2 within an hour after uploading. I'll lose a few, then slowly the number creeps back up to around whatever it was before I posted my last video. Usually if I don't post many videos, I'll start gaining subbers.

Here's an example, yesterday morning when I checked my Youtube, I had 1110 subscribers. This morning when I looked, I had 1107. I posted 2 videos today and within an hour after posting, I'm down to 1105. Tomorrow morning I'll probably have 1108 or something like that... It's like a god-damn mini rollercoaster or something.

My theory on this is that I do so many different kinds of videos, that I get fans of one kind of vid, who then see another kind of vid, and think "What the fuck is this shit that I subscribed to?" Then they fuck off. If I do a game video I might bring in some new subbers, but then they see my sketches and unsubscribe. Or vice-versa.

Maybe I should have done just one type of video and stuck with it, like Fred or SMOSH. Obviously I wouldn't get the numbers those guys get, but it probably would have lessened the rollercoaster effect.

Anyway it all comes down to the old saying "You can't please everyone". Which is very true. So I continue to do my thing, and if people watch, fantastic. If not, meh.

Tecmo Bowl Kickoff NDS Review

Tecmo Bowl Kickoff - Nintendo DS Review

The original Tecmo Bowl and Tecmo Super Bowl for the NES were 2 of my favorite games ever. Especially Tecmo Super Bowl. When Tecmo Bowl Kickoff came out for the DS, naturally I had to play it. Here's my review:

The Good:
1. Same fun Tecmo Bowl gameplay.

2. It has a player and team editor. (which is nice since there is no NFL license)

3. Fun old-school style cutscenes.


The Bad:
1. No NFL license. This really SUCKS. I would have loved seeing all those classic NFL players again. Instead we get generic players who often have really weird names.

2. The passing cursor is hard to distinguish when choosing receivers. The cursor is white, and when you switch receivers, it changes to a different white. Whoever designed it can blow me.

3. Dodgy AI and game logic. Players will sometimes run AWAY from the ball carrier before making the tackle etc... The AI seems to call random plays.

4. The game is just way too easy. I win nearly every game by a huge margin, and have never LOST a game.

5. Really questionable catches, interceptions, incomplete passes, and cheap feeling special moves.

Yay: Big Nostalgia trip. +1

FINAL BADASSIAN SCALE RATING: -1 NOT SO GOOD


CONCLUSION:
It's fun to play for a season or two, just long enough for the nostalgia to wear off. It's probably one of my favorite games on the DS, but that's not hard to do considering how much shit gets shoveled onto the DS. (and the Wii for that matter) Ultimately though, I ended up feeling diasppointed. Perhaps it has more to do with that old saying "you can never go back" than any fault with the game.
