* Tropers/{{MachineMan1992}} Episode 68 of the GameOverthinker, Crass Effect, has done the impossible and actually [[BeyondTheImpossible Topped]] "Heavens to Metroid" in terms of wrong headed douchbaggery. The episodes deal with the controversy surrounding the ending of {{Mass Effect 3}}. Bob does no research, even openly admitting he has no interest in playing the games himself, and yet feels qualified enough to offer his opinion on what, again he himself admits, he has no first hand knowledge of. He uses ridiculous strawmen, caricaturing the entirety of the Retake Mass Effect movement as crybabies. He also displays a stunning lack of comprehension of the situation and his dismissal of "player driven narrative" shows that on a fundamental level, he doesn't understand how video games work, much less Mass Effect.

** Tropers/{{DBAce9Aura}} Crass Effect, albeit for a different reason. His statement that branching plots via decision making will make the storyline "less engaging" and "deprive any intended meaning" from it just seems like another "let's make games the same way everybody makes TV shows and movies" statement.

* Tropers/{{DBAce9Aura}} The beginning part of #26 of TGO, where he basically states that he might attempt to bring forth TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIT if he isn't given anything to do, as a result of being an InsufferableGenius. That kind of statement just feels out of place in an otherwise legitimate attempt at making a point about control schemes in modern gaming.

[[ItGotWorse AND THEN]] the next episode he has the gall to try and back pedal from his bullshit by having his [[ItMakesSenseInContext annoying pixie intern try and assuage us]] with "Oh, he's only kidding gaiz!" and then he just keeps right on belittling us. Add on his bullshit alarmist rhetoric of how changing the ending of Mass Effect will "destroy gaming forevar!!11!!1", his continued refusal to do research beyond just tokenly watching the ending on YouTube (which lacks the context that makes fans angry), and you have the single greatest argument for vocal chord confiscation in Bob Chipman

* Tropers/{{rw}}: Every single time he uses the word original or originality when he, apparently, has no idea what it means. One of the examples he gives for something that's original is The Legend of Zelda...and yes, he is referring to the fact that The Legend of Zelda has been doing more or less the exact same thing for the last three decades. Hell, he even even outright says that that's more original than 'doing something different'. Oh, you mean the exact fucking definition of originality?!

* Tropers/{{randomfox}} : A while back he did a two part episode about the Sonic series. It was understandably and predictably somber, and while he spent a good half of it jerking off Nintendo (what a surprise) the real kicker for me was when he started giving recommendations on how to "fix" the series. Out of the two, the one he elaborated on being a reboot of the franchise wherein the suggested plot was a combination of two bad movies, the big moment was his suggestion that they make Robotnik a credible villain by having him [[KillEmAll kill all the side characters]], sounding especially elated when suggesting killing off Cream The Rabbit. First off, when has alienating a series existing fans and going for a sudden grimdark approach ever been successful? And even if you don't like all the peripheral side characters, which even fans are having trouble defending at this point, it's really sickening to hear an earnest suggestion to kill a six year old girl. I'd go into a rant about that, but [[WebOriginal/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]] did it for me at about 6:43 of [[http://blip.tv/file/4677201 this review]] that sums up my feelings quite well.

** Tropers/{{Vader999}}: Let it be known that I LOVE both Mario and Metroid (Even Other M, to an extent) but his rants on Halo (Militaristic force of uniformed "facist" space supersoldiers takes on ethnically and racially diverse alliance of aliens) is just so unjustified. Nevermind that the Covenant ENCOURAGES RACISM AND USES IT TO SEPARATE THE MANY RACES INTO CASTES, where many of the races (Hugarok/Engineers, Unggoy/Grunts, Lekgolo/Hunters,Yanme'e/Drones) being slaves. The Only exceptions being the Jackals/Kig-Yar being mercenaries and the Jiralhanae/Brutes and the Sangheili/Elites being in the Warrior caste (Which is as close as you get to being "middle-class" in the Covenant society) and the Prophets themselves (the San'shyuum) being the undisputed masters in the politics and religion arenas of the Covenant. He states how the game is racist for portraying the more diverse Covenant as the bad guys, but then again you can apply it to Metroid and Mario just as well: White Italian guy goes on and literally stomps on a force made up of diverse ethnicities and races to save a blonde-haired, blue-eyed white chick, or Blond-haired, blue-eyed white chick commits genocide on a racially and ethnically diverse cast of different races and interesting life forms while collecting mac-guffins. What he forgot was that the Covenant (Along with Bowser's forces and the Space Pirates) are evil. DIVERSITY DOES NOT EQUAL GOOD. Any organization can be diverse and employ a wide range of races and species to do its bidding, but they can choose to be good or evil, and in the case of Halo, Mario, and Metroid, the more diverse organization opts to be evil. The Covenant want to commit genocide, the enemies in Metroid are pirates and terrorists, and Bowser's forces are protecting a kidnapper and his hold over his hostage. (Namely, Bowser himself and his imprisonment of Peach) I'd be damned sure he would say that about Metroid or Mario's enemies if someone attacks THOSE series for being racist, but not on Halo, despite the premise of all three franchises being the exact same thing when seen from his point of view. He forgets that another reason why Bungie put so many races as the enemy (and probably why Nintendo does the same to Mario and Metroid) is to give a variety to the enemy force and have the player think strategically for every encounter instead of having them all being Elites or Brutes and the player rinsing and repeating over and over again and using the same weapons all the time. Yet he takes such a low jab at a non-Nintendo series just to be a prick while refusing to see the game's context both gameplay-wise or story-wise, accusing it of racism despite the fact that the UNSC characters that Bungie put in have blacks and Latinos clearly being present in the Army, and even Covenant allies in Halo 2 and Halo 3. Which really makes Moviebob's accusations against Halo invalid as his favorite series (which also happens to be on my list of favorites) also have the same "problem" he says Halo has.
* Tropers/SnoopTroop: His review of ''BookOfEli''. Anything he addresses that is in the film itself can be derived from the trailers and insists on focusing on the fact that it contains religious elements. His line saying that God allying with the Hero of the story kills all tension is especially grating considering the Hero almost always wins anyway especially in action films and in this film there are plenty of plot twists including [[spoiler: Eli dies of a mortal wound inflicted by the villain.]] As opposed to actually having watched the film; it comes more off like he ''had'' to review this movie but didn't want to see it so he instead read up on what other people have said previously about it then negatively attacked it with smug satisfaction.

*** Tropers/{JRA}: Wait, what episode was this?

* MackTheKnife: His video on OneMoreDay as part of ''The Big Picture''. First, OMD was three years ago; it's not exactly the hot new thing everyone's talking about. Most of the Internet are trying to move on from it. Second, he says absolutely '''nothing''' that we didn't already know, in an extremely egregious example of getting money for old rope. Since the title of the video was "The Devil and Mr Parker", I expected him to comment on the much-maligned musical ''Turn Off the Dark'', or even the upcoming reboot which [[RuinedFOREVER he never stops bitching about at every chance he gets.]] The entire running time of the video can be summarised as: "Here is a thing. It exists. Thank you, goodnight, God bless, can I have my money now?"

* Tropers/DerangedGenius: It's only been recently that Bob's started hating on the 90s for some unknown reason, which has really been irritating me. But then it turned into the most ridiculous excuse to hate on an era in his review of ''[=SCRE4M=]'', where basically he ends up admitting that the 90s sucked solely because it was the decade when the first ''Film/{{Scream}}'' film came out and he felt butthurt that his "special power" of being able to talk about movie tropes in a conversational way was taken from him by this movie. Buddy, if that was your biggest gripe about the film, then why the hell do you frequent ''this'' site? Also, hell, let's just toss out all the other great films of that era (''PulpFiction'', ''ToyStory'', etc.), since they're probably just as tainted by this horrible time period.

* Tropers/JeffBerg: I have a strong love/hate relationship with Bob, I agree much more than I disagree when it comes to movies, but his nostalgia when it comes to games is unbearable to me. in [[http://gameoverthinker.blogspot.com/2011/12/ive-been-waiting-fourteen-years-for.html a recent blog post]], he said - completely seriously - that the NES Batman game was better than BOTH games in the Arkham series. There's being nostalgic, and there's being goddamn blind.

* Tropers/NovusWulf: For me, it's his review of James Cameron's Avatar. The opening is him pretty much insulting anybody who noticed a very glaring flaw with the Movie, and after that it pretty much only gets worse from there, to the point where he sounds more like a fanboy douchebag than a Critic.

* Chreen: A [=DMoS=] in the Film/GreenLantern review, where he says "in a perfect world, Film/TheLastAirbender would be judged on it's own merits" in his review of Film/TheLastAirbender. Seeing that he gets very ticked when the source material from things he likes ({{Transformers}}, StarTrek, GreenLantern) isn't adapted like he wants it to, [[DoubleStandard but thinks that people should just judge TLA on it's own merits, because he hasn't watched the source material of that film]].

* SomeNewGuy: His "review" (and I use that term ''very'' loosely) of ''Film/GreenLantern'' is literally nothing but him whining and screaming about how the film wasn't ''exactly'' like the comic like a petulant fanboy. Stay classy, Bob.
