"DER! I'm gonna run around and do stupid stuff and show bold blue captions annotating old cliches!"
Yeah.....my brother sometimes watches something similar. Commentary of video games.
I absolutely hate them and think they're a waste of time.
my favourite part is how all the comments are praising the poster for his taste in music, which sounds more like people throwing up in the background. Almost never a comment on, you know, the actual video. Which is good, because I'm sure half of them would just be "Wow! near the beginning though, how did you jump?"
Let's not forget all the game videos recording some secret that doesn't even exist, with obvious video glitches where they've edited it or hacked the textures or whatnot.
Anyway; the HD thing reminds me of a passage from my PC book, where the author talks about the bewildered stares he get's from his students when he runs the HD without a cover.
