I like him fine, and I really enjoyed the games he made (the trilby series).

It's sad that his health is failing.

He actually hasn't done a critic on any game in years since he was diagnosed with cancer, he's just been hosting a podcast once a week.

He's made some wonky decisions after he found out he had cancer but he was a good force for gamers overall.

What do you mean wonky decisions? I don't expect much from someone undergoing chemotherapy..

I mean stuff like publicly calling his wife Hitler for not voting for Hillary, writing a long post about how everyone in America is evil for letting Trump win, and using is influence to tell his fans to hunt down, detain, and punish someone at a convention who made a "are traps gay" joke while giving a play by play about it on twitter.

And yes, he's dying, and his wife said she understands the cancer is a lot of stress for him, but he still did those things.

Interesting. I'd have to actually hear these comments myself to have much of an opinion on it, but I wonder if the cancer affected his thought at all. I had a family member with cancer, and they said things they never would. Even at the times where they were at their most "normal", some behavior was still slightly off, some perceptions totally warped.

But maybe TB has no such issue. Maybe a bunch of internet trolls just pissed him off. I wouldn't blame him at all, given the things I've seen.

The video has considerably more likes than dislikes, so I imagine the viewers agreed with him.

You're also some tiny amount of living proof that he made the right choice in disabling comments, because people would absolutely go out of their way to troll about this guy's likely imminent death. That kind of shit pisses people off and stresses them out, so why leave the option there? Additional commentary really isn't necessary. TB passing through would otherwise just raise his blood pressure I imagine, as trolls are very persistent, and very vocal.

edit: not going to remove what I said, but I may have misinterpreted your tone. My mistake if so.

This may come as a surprise, but you don't actually set the universal standard for what qualifies as big news.

After researching this incident for the last little bit, I suppose I'm inclined to agree. What he did at that convention was a bit nutty.

As far as I'm aware, he never publicly apologized for publicly calling his wife Hitler, he did sort of write an apology for calling everyone in America evil for letting Trump win, it was more kind of saying he overreacted and jumped to conclusions and should restrain himself mixing politics with his job, he never apologized for telling his fans to hunt down someone for him, after the incident he and his associates just never spoke about it again and they tried to sweep it under the rug. He put out a statement saying he was going to see a therapist not too long after that incident but he didn't say why (although if you knew about the incident you knew why).

Gaming personalities on youtube are cancer

Not that I don't watch some stuff, because I don't watch cable anymore... but a lot of youtube videos about games are mostly just plagiarism
I can't even watch certain channels because they just run through the game as fast as they can to upload it and make a dumb video
Same with fake video game journalism sites, I'd be much happier not seeing future bits and pieces of a game I just spent 60 dollars on.

the people who voted for Trump are bane and ignorant. Had they not voted at all no one would have said anything. They were actively voting to make the poor poorer and the environment worse, there is no denying that. I could give two shits about Trumps scandals btw

FYI TotalBiscuit's wife didn't vote for Trump, she voted for an independent party, that's what he publicly called her Hitler for, for not voting for Hillary.

And besides, while a bit off topic, not voting for Trump is basically a vote for Hillary and vise versa, and you know that, you even imply it yourself, either vote for my side or get out of my way.

Basically nothing like what you described has happened because Trump is President, all he's done is prevent the rest of the government from doing whatever they want because he won't help other politicians do what they want so they spend all their time trying to get rid of him. That's all most people who voted for Trump really expected or wanted, to give the middle finger to the establishment that so badly wanted Hillary to win.

Was their electoral college a Trump or Hilary?
If Hilary won her not vote for Hilary didnt matter
If Trump won by a sizeable margin, voting third party doesnt make a difference.
