Metal Jesus ruins my faith in humanity

[VenomMacbeth]

Anyone on here ever watch Continue?  It's pretty fun, just three dudes playing retro games & deciding if they want to "continue" or "game over".  The Metal Warriors and Sky Kid episodes are a couple of my faves.  Smoke space weed everyday!

That show is fun, been watching for years. Can't wait for their new show "Smart Guys" to air.

If you like and watch, the easiest way to support is by letting the ads play. Turn your speakers down or something while they play.

Do channels not get ad revenue if you skip (where allowed) the commercial?

I'm not sure. I'd think that they'd get at least something but not as much as if you let the entire ad play. But again I'm not really sure. I'll have to ask Ryan next time I think of it.

I would be interested to know.  I skip Youtube ads ALL the time and as soon as possible, but I figured the person was still getting some amount for just agreeing to show ads in their videos.

Me too--if it's partial or no payment for skipping, I would do as Joe says, at least for the channels I really like...let it play and do something else for 60 secs.

I noticed that since we were talking about lukemorse a while ago, he hasn't posted any videos. Coincidence or is he a lurker???

If you're lurking - your vids are great, I especially enjoy your "living in japan" type videos. Was informative for someone interested in working in Japan

I like Luke's videos, especially the repair vids. The latest two, 50 game intros strung together into one hour monstrosities, are complete Gar-bitch. I don't really care for his biking videos either.

[Arkhan Asylum]

One thing I am not a fan of with the "demonstration of a thing" videos, is when people hold the camera.

buy a goddamn tripod.  this isn't a middle school movie project.    It sucks when you show something off and it's wobbly or slanted.

Yeah I agree those video's are pretty lackluster. I think if he wanted to upload the intro's to each game , he should have made each game a different video. I think it's more likely someone would be searching for a particular game intro rather than 100 @ a time

[Joe Redifer]

So I axed my network manager about skipping the ads. He said we get paid less if someone chooses to skip after 5 seconds or whatever it is.  My network guy is reputable.

Good to know Joe, on channels I actually know I want to support (the sack, TurboViews, etc) I'll let'em play and pick my nose or something in the meantime. Thanks.

Somehow I never skip those Game of War ones....wonder why.

For me it is all about the mood I am in. That or if the ad is anyoing as Fu!

Most of the time I hit the skip button but other then that i let the ads play out.

[poponon]

Anyone know if you can you disable adblock for a specific youtube channel?

[esadajr]

Anyone know if you can you disable adblock for a specific youtube channel?

Or you could just try using a different browser.

[poponon]

Or you could just try using a different browser.

In that case I'd just turn off adblock for the video i'm watching. Just thought it'd be more convenient to do so for an entire channel at a time

[CGQuarterly]

Why not just turn off AdBlock on YouTube?  Are there channels that you watch that are run by your enemies?

[poponon]

Good point. Sometimes the ads are s00000 long and unskippable though

I had no clue this was the case, ill absolutely just hit mute for a few more seconds to help support.

[esadajr]

or you could become a patron

[ClodBusted]

Backing what Joe mentioned about skipping ads, here's some information by Jang about that topic:

By the way, this is one of the few guys that pumps out videos on a daily basis  while remaining enjoyable to watch, when he is doing Lego reviews.

I watch his videos since when he did mainly RC car stuff on his channel UltimateRC some years ago.

[HailingTheThings]

I'm guessing that this is what Joe had mentioned previously.

Come on people!  Help me fund my trip to Japan so I can hang out with Tats and ransack his collection!  Give me money to help me find deals in japan so I can come back and show of shit I got with YOUR MONEY!  Come on!

Exactly, what a fuck tard.  Reminds me off this asshole kid who begs for games on Craigs List.  He said he will drive to you and remove them for free but he has no money.  Just some obsessed kid who wants shit for free.

[esteban]

I could not watch the video once he started talking about his fans.

Holy shite.

[EvilEvoIX]

This chinless idiot thinks he's getting 50K for a trip to get free shit and not work.  I hope he gets the money then get's hit by a drunk driver in the middle of the night while crossing through the desert and they go up in flames.

I don't wish the man physical harm.  I just hope no one donates, cause he's a moron.

How about they get the money and never pay taxes on it and spend it all on NES carts and then the IRS goes after them for tax fraud and sells all their collection for nothing and their entire hobby is ruined?

[ToyMachine78]

  Galam will donate. He loves the bitch and wants a T shirt. He'll prob get a call and postcard too lol!

geise, where can i donate?

i thought he should have saved up like everyone eles. i like the idea of him going coast to coast and go on a big gaming tour but 50k? damn, just save up or maybe sell some games to support the trip?

[Bloufo]

The guy is probably banking on his "fans" being the biggest idiots to walk the planet.

Takes some nerve to ask what he's asking and keep a straight face about it. I'll give him that.

[mickcris]

Cant believe he has got almost $4k already.  If it gets to $50k i may have to consider looking into this line of "work". lol

[esteban]

It is harder for me to defend this fool now that he has done this.

My heart is torn.

[wildfruit]

Screw this. Once my hair grows back I'm going to make a channel of my own. It will be terrible but who cares. Cant do it right now hair looks like a fuzzy tennis ball.
Also.
What is a military grade coin??

Maybe he meant a "challenge coin"?  Because that is the only thing where coins are related to the military.

I didn't watch the whole video, but "military grade" *anything* simply means it can take a lot of abuse, correct? That's all I can think of.

ALSO: would we exploit our minor fame/celebrity? Some of us would. The temptation would be strong, I reckon.

I think the problem I have with a "tour" is that it is very different than asking for support of a tangible product (a book, or a ______, or a ______). A "tour" is about milking your minor celebrity. YOU DO NOT DO IT FOR THE "FANS", you do it for your own ego. Metal Jesus does NOT have better things to do.

A legitimate celebrity/person-with-a-career has better things to do with his/her time (other projects that pay more, or projects that are intrinsically rewarding...non-vanity projects).

Metal Jesus starting talking as if the tour was a "gift for his fans"...

DEAR LORD.

DEAR, DEAR LORD.

[esteban]

NOTE: For those not paying attention, this thread has come full-circle.

[sirhcman]

Happy Easter! Metal Jesus has risen!

He must have caught a bunch of shit. He's already posted a follow up video, and posted his proposed "budget". His budget seems pretty inflated to me. He's estimating the RV will get 5mpg. WTH? Any motor made this century should get better gas mileage than that. 9K for an RV based on 30 day rental.... Hell it may be cheaper to rent... Newer model would prob get better gas mileage, you could scrap the breakdown budget, cause it should be covered by rental company, and insurance as well depending on the company.

Also, 1500 for 30 days RV park fees? Walmarts are everywhere, and allow you to use their lot for free.

Or how about if you want to take a vacation, get a real job.. save up and then go when you can afford it!

You must not have watched the follow up video, because he made it very clear that this is NOT a vacation. Its going to be a lot of work. A LOT of work. All the post cards that have to be mailed, the phone calls, retro game shopping.... Sounds like its gonna be hell.

I stopped watching (the first video) when he said he came up with the idea while drinking beer and never even bothered going back..

NOW.. if esteban decided during a drunken beer session that he was going to e-beg for donations to continue Le Turbo Doodle I would be first in line to throw my money at him!

Hfahhahahhahhaa. OK, now things are getting interesting. I AM SO TEMPTED TO WATCH HIS FOLLOW-UP VIDEO.

I think I will.


sirhcman: I agree! I would never stop him from vacationing...but I have to save up my own damn money in order to do so. He's already fortunate to have folks sending him stuff.

UPDATE: You are too gracious, sirhcman. Thank you, but if I e-beg for donations I am going to be responsible and provide an itinerary and budget up-front:

ITINIERARY:
(1) Smile (day one, 2-3 minutes).
(2) Invest $35,000 in retirement fund (day one, 2-3 minutes).
(3) Travel to first stop of tour (fan service, 10+ minutes).
(4) Continue tour (days 2-30)

[Nazi NecroPhile]

Ha!  If this guy gets paid, I guess that says a lot about his fan base. 

His cost breakdown is crap.  Look up a RV rental on your own.  I did and I came up with $3400-$4000 for a month of rental (depending on size of RV rented) plus $3400 for mileage (10000 miles worth); since rental includes repairs, mechanical prep (whatever the fuck that is), and insurance, that's roughly half what this douche has budgeted.  His mileage budget is also suspect; it might be accurate for some old POS RV that he wants to buy (which would have value at the end of the trip), but any modern RV that he'd rent would get maybe 8 or 9 mpg.  Lastly, who here spends anywhere near $50 a day on meals?

To add more to the shit pile... They are budgeting 1600 each for wage compensation for the month off. Now I have no clue what these people do, but it sounds as though MJ works in a professional environment based on his past with Sierra. So I would imagine he also gets paid leave. I have enough leave to take a month off, but I would still get my regular salary.  This is so suspect. I hope to hell people don't fund this thing.

I could easily spend $500 on food a day. OF COURSE, I'd be very extravagant and indulge myself with ridiculous stuff and lots of alcohol. 

IT'S FOR THE FANS.
