While I agree TB has a lot of personality problems, he does preach for honesty is the world of games reviews. If you watch a game review of his you can be sure he will not sugarcoat it and point out all the flaws as well as the good stuff. So I think he should at least be praised for that. | ||

Given where he is, what he's done and how popular he is. It's nearly justified. | ||

I don't mind people with has their own point of views. Actually that's true for everyone and you should exercise your rights. However, my problem with TB and most people like him is they don't control what they say. Honesty can only get you so far before you start offending people because you don't know when to shut up. There are always time to learn some control. I don't give a crap who you are, or how famous you are. There are no excuses. It's like freaken Kanye West. Being famous doesn't excuse your behavior. | ||

It's nearly justified to be as confident and prideful of his words as per his reputation [and his words] has lead him to where he is today. I'm not saying I accept it personally or promote it, but I can see why he acts the way he does, regardless of my own personal judgement. | ||

No, but there is justification when the popularity and fan base stemmed from his persona and character (as the Cynical Brit). It is the type of personalty that polarizes communities on how they feel about him. Sure he has some problems but I think anyone that disregards any merits he has (not suggesting that is you) is rather naive and blind. Still, given that seldom will he be playing DotA 2, probably should just let the topic die out because seems like some people are blindly bashing. | ||

Its been buffed in range, cd and mana cost since then but the only blink if taking no damage part is still a bigger thing. | ||

He does preach honesty, but he's taking paid promotion gigs on his own channel that is aimed at critical content of games and then he says that it doesn't influence his opinion on the game at all. And he even has the stomach to call out other reviewers for accepting gifts from developers at conventions. He's saying that he doesn't make reviews that his videos are first impressions, but his videos are tagged as reviews, because he gets more youtube hits. He's a hypocrite, that's what he is. His video about the Artifacts system in hots is pretty good, tho. | ||

He does believe that as long as you are honest about what you are doing (being very clear about promotional content being promotional for example) you are free of emotional guilt. Technically his "first impressions" videos are reviews of the early parts of the games he makes videos about. His job is to make money, so I can't really blame him for tagging his videos as ''reviews.'' Also, any time I've seen promotional content, it hasn't been about how good the game is as far as what I've seen on his youtube channel. | ||

He's a youtuber, his job is to make as much people watch his videos. That's all cool. What gets me is when he assumes moral highground over other people and tries to paint himself as the messiah of video games journalism or whatever. | ||
