Personally, I understand where swampfire is coming from when he made the post.
If you watch the old Top Gear show (UK version) with Jeremy Clarkston you never knew which way his review was going until the end of the bit. It was a constant back and forth whether the car was a piece of crap or a gem. Perhaps, if Cary patterned more of his delivery ala Clarkston, and kept the viewer guessing until the last few minutes then the reviews would be more interesting. To Cary's credit, his reviews have evolved to mimic this type of delivery, but some of the older ones were "in your face" with all the issues for the length of the review.

Well, he just released a video about Scooby Doo and it was overwhelming positive.

How does this thread keep reappearing lol

It's still relevant.

I just watch him for that southern drawl. Y’all and all that.

Fine. Ok, fine. He’s entertaining too. Actually one of my favorite subscriptions on YT.

This thread is like a testament to his channel. It’d be cool if he chimed in and posted channel updates here. Kind of a badass middle finger to Pinside drama.

Quoted from underlord:

I moved to Atlanta from Wisconsin when I was 10, and I always avoided “ya’ll” until it started going mainstream. If you’re talking a group, you have 4 choices:

“You” - too ambiguous, might refer to the person you’re looking at
“You guys” - not inclusive if there are women
“You people” - not great for obvious reasons
“You all”, or “ya’ll” for short - perfection

Now I say ya’ll proudly.

I may not agree with everyone's opinion, but I will fight for your right to have it. See ya'll later.

#408 1 year ago

One thought is that for some it can get old just watching one guy talk and talk.

STDM’s platform is more colorful as they balance each other out, but none of their commentary veers toward personal attacks. More upbeat as well.

Ya, you betcha. Youse wanna grab a couple-two-three brewski's tonight? I'll meet you over by the bubbler outside the Fleet Farm. Cripes sake don't be late again especially if you are hanging out with those FIBs (which I am one )

#410 1 year ago

He’s back and with less twang.

Hey if he’s got us talking about him, maybe he’s doing something right.

This is one of his better reviews I’ve seen. More focused on the game

You can keep “The Confessional” and “Let’s Talk About Metal”

#417 1 year ago

Yeah, I expect to live another 25 years, like this thread.

#418 1 year ago

If it helps anyone, I thought I'd mention that my current favorite pinball youtubers/review channels are Gonzo's Pinball Flipperama, and Pinball Heaven. It's the same people behind both channels.

#419 1 year ago

IBTL. I think that what the cool kids are doing.
This thread pops up randomly.

Quoted from swampfire:

Alright, I know it’s against the rules to call someone out, but I’m pulling the “public figure” card here. Cary, I love your video production standards. But dude, it seems like every new Stern has a fatal flaw for you. I get it, the 90’s had some great games! I have a few myself (though my collection is mostly pre-DMD).
Here’s the thing. I was totally psyched about Led Zeppelin Premium. I went to a friend’s house and played his LE, had a BLAST playing it. Then I watched your review and it sucked out every ounce of joy I’d had. There’s no way I’d buy a LZ now, and they were one of my top 5 bands growing up in the late 70’s. All the joy, totally gone. Is your assessment right? Maybe some of it, but it was relentlessly negative.
Plan B: Stranger Things Premium. Let’s see what Cary thinks of this one...are you kidding me? At least half of that review was about how the older Brian Eddy games were all better, or hammering Stern about gameplay issues.
No sir, I will not buy into this dystopian vision. From now on, I’ll play the game and make up my own mind, maybe with some input from the STDM reviews.
I do respect your retro lineup, your production quality, and your independent control of your eyebrows. I cannot respect your pessimism.

STDM reviews are probably more up your alley. Since they’re almost always puff pieces. If you didnt know it, just about every new release is up there with the greatest ever. BUY BUY BUY

Hey wait a minute, I thought this was a shit on Cary for no reason thread?!?! I’m disappointed. But yeah, SDTM, ugh THE fuckin worst! Community would be A LOT better without them around. I’ll grab my pitchfork, let’s start a petition!

I wonder if your downvoters realize who made that post. Funny thinking about it.

#428 1 year ago

I like Zach. I like Cary. That’s all I have to say. Sorry for this thread.

#429 1 year ago

I’m new here as of last year so my apologies if this sounds a bit dumb haha! Isn’t there a way you can just delete this thread or is that weirdly not possible?

You can change the thread title to "I like Cary Hardy pinball reviews"

No. You need to get MORE content out there for us ungrateful bastards. I've got nothing to watch until the super bowl.

For the record, I don't care if it appears you "shill" it or give a B+ on a regular. I watch for the in depth dive into the pins. Same with Cary. Both your production values are appreciated.

Quoted from swampfire:

I asked the mods to close the thread a few hours ago.

My understanding is that you can ask to have a thread closed, but they usually won’t do it unless it’s causing some specific harm.

All you need to do is start talking about the trailer trash build or everyone keep up with IBTL. That's seems to work.

Wait, is GWJ still plugging away? What's new with that guy?

(Trying to assist the OP get his wish)

#435 1 year ago

I like the guy.

#436 1 year ago

Changed the subject to match the ongoing content. Maybe it should have been “YouTuber grievances”?

I do think it’s funny that people are still replying to a post that’s almost 2 years old.

For realllll... I don't understand why people can't give it a rest already with their feels about SDTM. How many threads do we have to see clogged up with the same 2 complaints over and over? If you think their reviews are too sunny or that they're shills, watch a different channel. If you think it's wrong for them to do reviews as distributors, buy from a different distributor.

For me, Zach and Greg are fun to watch, and they articulate well *why* they like every game that they like, and I have found that to be useful and entertaining.

(for the record, Greg has criminally underrated The Beatles, and y'all both have Ghostbusters over Godzilla which is craaaazy talk )

Can you add a multi choice poll to put this to a vote?

a. Cary Hardy saved my life (still don’t understand who said that and why, but who cares)
b. Cary Hardy’s reviews are the bees knees and thank God loyal Pinsiders are here to protect him
c. Cary Hardy’s reviews are mildly annoying, but sometimes I listen anyway
d. Cary Hardys reviews are sassed to the max with thumbnails to extort undue interest. Avoid.

Feel free to add your sentiment observations of choice.

Isn't there a thumbs up or down already on youtube? Just vote there?

I think updating it on here to be a poll might put this to bed once and for all.

I watch Cary Hardy reviews. Not much has changed with my life, or the build slowly going on for those wondering.

Wrong.
Welcome to NY, the correct answers are:

“Yous”
“Youse”
“Youze” all meaning You (plural)

Well, not happy Paramount entered the streaming game. It's eating in on my HBO+ and other streaming services. I'm taking a stand and not subscribing to anymore dammit!
