Oh it is definitely possible to be bad at watching movies. Falling asleep/trying to talk while it's playing, for one.
neil137
try combat in elite dangerous. it's fucking hell
AgentOne
Why are these gifs? They would have worked as static images. Or even one long gif.
CrazyRoyOfficial
I was once an adventurer like you, then I took an arrow in the knee
PhDPool
Well, technically, all those instances would make the activity a game (maybe not video) and then it's the same as the video game - challenge
Sweetnfluffy
Why I don't play video games
AgonyZ
He took a legitimate arguments about the positives of difficulty levels and exclusion in the medium and made it a comedy skit? Why...
sotsotdei
"Form of entertainment" is more apt than "art form." Not to knock video games, but if you are shit at piano, you don't just advance.
circuspony
I read it in his voice
pres2pond
That last one is a good idea for a video game. Like Guitar Hero, but with dancing. If you don't dance well, the music goes to shit.
Burke616
You can be bad at consuming other media. It doesn't stop you getting to the end, but you don't get the full depth of experience.
idontmindselfies
I'm thinking M Bison
whimsicalsamurai
there are a few flaws with that logic, one of them is art, you can be bad at art and people will criticize your work. 1/2
whimsicalsamurai
there are choose your adventure books have some level of punishment if you get the bad ending 2/2
foopyfoop
That's excellent
11111111231231123
not sure if ya beat the BSB but he can be cheesed very easily with fire paper and the summon. If you want to solo it though 1/2
11111111231231123
Spamming fire paper, molotovs, blood cocktails and antidotes make it way easier
greasyd
Has this dude ever read a "choose your own ending book", cuz I die all the fucking time in those bastards too.
ThanatosElNyx
You still get an ending though.
Noooooooooooooope
Also if you're blind or deaf you're probably not great at watching a movie or listening to an album
MulliganStew
Oh My God. Blood Starved Beast gave me a hell of a time. Anyone have any tips?
kerBamf
If you spend half a movie on a smartphone, you're officially bad at watching movies.
ToastMasterLex
I've been a gamer since I was 5 (26 now) and I still suck royally at a lot of games.
Wahrmler
this is why i cheat like a mother fucker
DefunkMyJunk
Gamers always find arguments to why games are good. Gaming addiction is real though, and I've seen it destroy people. The internet only
DefunkMyJunk
Shows the good sides about gaming, or at least gamers only choose to see the good sides

Youll love gehrman then. He tends to make a mess of one's asshole.
magoslich
Simon's Bowblade makes easy work of him.
Insomnia297
Easier than Maria or fucking Ludwig.
VectorCross
This is great i never truly looked at it as a art form more as a skill, you have to get good at the game to enjoy the game, 1/?
VectorCross
I remember playing super mario bros on the NES and i was bad at it, my old brother had to show me the rest of the game, 2/?
VectorCross
Now you have games like Battlefield 1, CodAW, Titanfall, CSGO, bloodbourne, alot of cut throat games that show how bad you really are
VectorCross
Oh yeah and dark souls, and darkest dungeon are other games that show that as well
K8alwaysknows
The other part of the art form is what you bring to it. Practice, try new things, and above all... Git gud!
PsychoWyrm
Git gud or get rekt.
ninjadanny
420 blaze it 360 no scope Doritos mt dew vape nation
K8alwaysknows
And don't forget knife only runs!
IWouldStealAPlumbus
Wait what? Nonono. There are plenty of ways to be bad at reading a book. The only difference is that the game hinders progress.
Assfullofbread
Same with movies, my dad is so annoying to watch movies with, he never undesrtands shit. And he always pauses it to go (1/2)
Assfullofbread
get the jumper cables and beat the shit out of me.(2/2)
IdiotAlert
That escalated quickly.
thecolonels
Exactly. Im completely iliterate so I am unable to read even the simplest lf books.
rimehoarfrost
Blood starved Bitch as I call him is my least fave boss in any game, ever.
NorthwestOfNowhere
I have never hated another boss as the Blood-Starved Beast. Took me 8 tries o beat him, and I still couldn't tell you how I won.
skorve
Throw Pungent Blood Cocktails at the wall. Or dodge under the arm he swings with. Whichever seems more convenient.
rimehoarfrost
Yeah dude, I just hate the third phase. He always does that cheesy leap-grab-bite that literally one shots you. He's just a cheap bitch.
aGamerHasNoUsername
Bloodborne was kind of easy no lie. I think the hardest boss for me was Amygdalla and just because she kept landing on me.
Randomcomma
I feel like all the Soulsborne games are pretty doable for anyone who can tolerate smashing their head against a brick wall a few times.
TonyGarbanzo
Have mercy on the poor bastard!
aGamerHasNoUsername
This dude said he had trouble killing BSB and put the game down cause he might hate it afterwards! No mercy for the weak!
YouMayFindThisMildlyInteresting
Hardest enemy in Bloodborne was the camera.
Topramen20
Fucking nailed it. I would roll around like a mad man trying to find where the enemy is.
YouMayFindThisMildlyInteresting
With the bigger bosses you have to go unlocked and adjust the camera using 'the claw'
coronalmassejection
How old is Bloodborne?
aGamerHasNoUsername
Google it.
melancholyterminator
probably three years or so i'd guess
melancholyterminator
Ive kinda abandoned it for a while as after eventually killing BSB i'd had enough and figured if i kept playing i'd grow to hate it
BadChineseFood
Try some coop.
BadChineseFood
Try some coop.
aGamerHasNoUsername
Yeah, you sound like you need to git gud.
melancholyterminator
Its get not git,and good, not gud. I never understood the twats that decided to call it "git gud" anyway, i digress, blow it out your ass
aGamerHasNoUsername
Don't hate cause you suck.
Insomnia297
"Git gud" is unique to Bloodborne/ Dark Souls, that's why. "Get good" applies to anything.
YesmynameisGreg
Well... hand a 3rd grader Ulysses and Dark Souls. The effect will be the same "I can't get past the first part."
killerswan
"third grader"
killerswan
I basically can't beat Thomas Pynchon, omfg.
DarthReznor
Hand dark souls to most grown adults and you'll get the same result
wanderingsibyl
Just because someone can read it doesn't mean they get the full experience from it, adults included.
YesmynameisGreg
Just because someone can beat a game doesn't mean they get the full experience from that either.
melancholyterminator
Yeah but they'll probably keep trying with dark souls
YesmynameisGreg
Meaning that the art form is LESS punishing, right? A lower barrier to entry, which goes against what this comic is saying.
flikrdoodles
That's not a comic, that's gifs of some fat guy.
Speedy1802
That's a good point
ICantThinkOfAU
To be fair that's relative. As a (technical...) adult it's gone backwards for me, Bloodborne made me ragequit, but now reading's not boring
Keairan
I'm fairly certain I would have a harder time reading Ulysses. Joyce never appealed to me.
reverendbonobo
For a third-grader, maybe. I gave up on Dark Souls when I realized the controls were retarded. I thought Ulysses was a pretty good read.
YesmynameisGreg
I tend to agree with you. I prefer to set my games to Novice and my literature to Adept or Expert.
theAyinOK
I have been trying to beat The Silmarillion for 10 years now.
andthedicestoppedrolling
Do it! It's well worth it. It's a mythology book, written by a true master of language. How far did you get?
GoodEyeSniper1
try listening to it on tape! that's how my boyfriend and his dad got through it
andthedicestoppedrolling
Do it! It's well worth it. It's a mythology book, written by a true master of language. How far did you get?
Silmariella
Silmarillion is great, but you might want to try The unfinished tales or Children of Hurin beforehand.
MyDangusYaDingus
NickRivieraMD
God, why, it's like reading Genesis.
o11c
It *is* Genesis.
Flyndaran
Genesis is just boring. It's more like trying to read Revelation. Complete semi-coherent what-the-fuckery.
NickRivieraMD
I was referring to all the x, son of y, son of n, brother of m, boring stuff.
Flyndaran
Oh yeah, it does have the begat litany. I retract my criticism.
Hupa
I love this dude, but I hate when comedy is done with that kind of microphone.
FrankyBabes
Some people (to me) always feel like they're trying a bit hard or preaching when using a mic. They gesticulate too much.
SherMattLockSmith
I think he is too energetic for a handheld, and moves around so much that a clip on would rub and cause noise.
CreativeWritingJudge
He gestures a lot, it makes it frees up one of his hands
vivalacony
Why?
lovehandlesmessiah
Oh, those Americans and their phallic object obsessions.
imminentloudness
As a sound engineer, me too.
NickRivieraMD
which one wins?
vivalacony
Why?
randalllines
GooberSnotpants
It definitely changes the aesthetic. Williams would use a clip-op because he was so dynamic. That was better, I think.
shimmernshine
He used a pedestal mic in DC mostly as a prop.
bvtthole
Who?
PubicOvergrowth
1: A Danish comedian made almost an entire show about that same thing, where he can say what he wants when he "hides" behind the handheld
PubicOvergrowth
2: and then he switches back to the mounted one, where you can feel it becomes much more personal
ThepowerofZB
Jonatan Spang?
BunjoDK
Hvem var det? Længe siden jeg har boet hjemme i DK, så kender ikke alt det nye
PubicOvergrowth
Nej anden, i Anders så vidt jeg husker :)
Raven2311
This is wholly an American thing. U guys like the microphone
Dondarian
I think you're right. But I prefer this kind of mic. Reginald D. Hunter, Eddie Izzard, Micheal McIntyre, all these great comics use that.
Raven2311
I love izzard but I saw him a few years ago at the O2 and he went over the line of mania and just lost it on stage. Completely lost it
RadishIsAMeat
When did Michael McIntyre become a comedian?
Giganotosaurus
It is amazing how different a mic can have on a show. Like a handheld one can be a prop for certain bits to illustrate stuff.
Deadpoolio7
Lee Evans is the fucking master at this.
HutchTheClutch
Like Bo Burnham's bit about looking at the perfect dick at the urinal
eatyourmeat
Mostly genitals
essenceofpink
[Bo Burnham stares with intense music]
JohnFloorwalker
Show me your genitals.
eatyourmeat
Put em on the glass. Put yo tittays oh the glasss
EggMarbles
I feel like it turns it into a motivational speech or TED talk..
namiasdf
Haha, can't unfeel this now.
hispanicyankee
I legit thought that's what this was at first because of the mic
iamthisguy247
Or a Britney Spears concert.
relatablesarcasticguy
LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE!
iamthisguy247
I was going to say Bobby Brown concert but was worried my reference would be to out of date.
imreallyjusthereforthecats
That's your prerogative
