Tim Rogers Presents The Games Of The Decade 2010~2019 | Kotaku 

People make that mistake every decade lol

That is not how we categorise decades thou, there were 90's, 80's, 70's all of wich are ten-year period (i.e decade) that starts at X0 and ends at X9.

Komi Exactly it’s just how it is.

If you believe this, you must also believe that the 2010s didn't start until 2011. This only makes sense when you are referring to decades in order, as in "the 202nd decade", which is not how anyone talks about decades.

@@shoopj The first decade of the 21st century was 2001-2010, the second is 2011-2020. If you want to say "best of the 201xs," go ahead. Ten years is *a* decade, but it is not a *the* decade.

If anything he underestimated himself

It's funny cause he started to reference this possibility multiples times right before leaving Kotaku

*9 hour

One of my favourite ever things is the final 30 seconds of his 2h55 Pac-Man review, where he's sat at the editing desk, reassuring viewers that the *next* review (Tokimeki Memorial, which he was finishing up the editing of at that moment) would *definitely* be significantly shorter than the Pac-Man one. "Mark my words!" he says, with the nearly-finished Tokimeki review in front of him at that moment. *Definitely* shorter! The Tokimeki Memorial review: 6 hours long 😂

🤣🤣🤣🤣

3 years later comment: without an editor he'd be making 10 hour videos. With a zealous editor they'd be 20 minutes With his skilful writing, and his editing approach, it's perfect. It's got such good storytelling and it all ties together so well

one thing i love about tim's stuff is that he tends to take x format and twist it into something very personal and honest like, every dang time

Yeah! It only took 10 minutes of explaining the list before he finally got around to the list...AWESOME!

There is nothing horrible about a good top 10 video. The lazy ones is where they get the bad name

Majorly seconded. Thank you for writing the comment I came here to write, saved me a moment and much appreciated.

I agree with what you said, but I also agree with Tim. Undertale is the kind of game that makes you feel insignificant/uncreative. They made so much with so little. It’s like great guitar solos and classic song writing. You feel like you should be able to do it too, but you can’t.

It honestly crushed me to hear it, as someone who has so wholly been inspired by the passion, drive, and execution of the things Tim makes. Thanks for your works, Tim

Is it not meaningful though? Entertainment isn't at the top of the list of needs but it definitely has its place

The other game of the last decade that had zero business being as good as it was is NieR Automata. I would love to hear Tim review that game too.

stay tuned for next week

Yep. That's why we love Tim.

Welcome to Tim Rogers.

i had a real good time with that . . . my Joke Of The Decade, perhaps

truly a master wordsmith

Tim's videos are ***ACTUALLY*** the greatest thing going on on this website currently. ~Nightcore Jones

@@NightcoreJones I like a lot of the folks on Kotaku, but Tim is the anchor that keeps me coming back for more.

@@system0fadowner251 oh of course, Kotaku has been great for years. I've been checking that site nearly daily since probably around 2008. But when I said 'this website' I was referring to RU-vid Dot Com. ~Nightcore Jones

@@NightcoreJones oh I see well I find it hard to disagree then. In less than a month I've binged most of Tim's videos after first coming across his epic Death Stranding review and I always get excited when I find one I've missed. The guy could talk about the intricacies of toenail clippings and I think I'd find it fascinating.

Andddddd Tim just quit Kotaku.

You should see his 6 hour review of Tokimeki Memorial.

@@Vesperitis already did, no breaks

Sup. Didn't I play magic or tf2 with you?

With a shoutout to ~100 games that almost made the cut.

there MIGHT be two more hour-plus videos coming in the next two weeks :-O

@@kotaku Wow! Great news. ~Nightcore Jones

@@kotaku YES

@@kotaku best news all month

@@kotaku good Christmas pressie.

Tim Rogers has done it!

Spoilers

@@RuYevon I would say sorry and that Im deleting my RU-vid account and exiling myself to Spoiler Island and ask you to please not judge my children by the transgressions of their father BUT instead ill direct you to another video by Tim Rogers called "How To Avoid Spoilers For Everything Forever"

you resisted for like 14 years? o: no way!

hell yeah

Welp. You might not wanna watch it then 😂

so many screamy videogame guys on youtube, I would elect tim as videogame guy of the decade on the soothing voice alone. (though what I really like best is the writing.)

I love because I watch the sound of your voice.

He's about a third of the way there in a handful of vids on his personal channel Action Button.

Me too friend, I was crying buckets by the end - You can watch the trailers for videoball and his GDC talk about it if you search on youtube.

I liked because I am currently finishing that same part of my bachelor's thesis on the translation of realia in the English release of the manga Lucky Star. And before someone asks: no, I wasn't joking.

@@penttikoivuniemi2146 honestly I'd like to know a little more. I've never actually read the lucky star manga in any language, does the official english translation make some weird decisions or something?

@@PandaXs1 There are some weird and interesting decisions, mostly its just a pretty poor translation by someone who is unlikely to be a professional translator with a ton of interference from Japanese. Which is a shame, I hoped I'd find some overarching strategy and/or clever translation decisions, but on the other hand it's a pretty good example of what manga translations often are. I actually kinda chose it on a whim, I had never read it before in any language either, I just knew I wanted to look into the translation of realia in a manga. I had watched the anime though and like it well enough. Anyway, I went looking for a suitable series I could easily and legally get my hands on, saw Lucky Star, and figured it'd be filled to the brim with what I wanted to research, so I ordered the first volume in Japanese and bought the English translation on Book Walker's web-service.

@@penttikoivuniemi2146 hmm, Lucky Star did come out in English in 2009, it's not too surprising the translation isn't good. on the other hand ANN says the translator was someone Japanese (???), I wonder if that has something to do with it.

@@PandaXs1 Yeah, it was definitely translated by a Japanese person, and quite certainly not a professional. Her English is fluent enough if we only look at grammatical accuracy, but it's ridiculously non-idiomatic at times. The source text's Japanese interferes with the translation's English in ways that make it clear the translation was just given to someone who could read the language and she probably wasn't paid that well or not given much time to work on it.

Souls-like games are all I play anymore tbh..

Before watching the video, I thought that there were only 2 options. That DQXI would be his #1 game of the decade, or that DQXI would be his #2 game of the decade. To not only not see it in the top 10, but not see it as an honorable mention, is incredibly shocking. No hate btw as I like his list, but it just surprised me.

Sekiro is the dark souls of the dark souls games.

that is the joke

This is the gran turismo of comment simulators

Callum noooo wayyyyy

@@andyespinozam nah, dark souls is the dark souls of dark souls games, sekiro is just the dark souls of soulslike games. Funnily enough, donkey kong jungle freeze is the dark souls of mario games, and guitar hero is the dark souls of dead genres

Nah, they'd hate each other.

I actually saw someone say that they prefer other battle royale games other than Fortnite because there your target does not instantly become a 10-story building after one shot.

Simon Day the building is what makes it different in gun battles, it is a freaking video game not reality

You monster!

oh, you!

SonOfAKing no you are certainly not. In fact I’m pretty sure that’s the majority of their subs

Khed likely, only videos I click on

Tim Rogers is Kotaku

Only reason I'm here

Not trying to be a narc, but FYI tim said in a recent stream that he hates comments like yours, they denigrate the work of his friends and workmates. Please be chill - Plus anti-kotaku hate only really exists because of gross gamergaters. i can find you the link where tim says this if you're interested. Seems to me that Kotaku has hired some great writers and video creators in the past couple of years. Listen (or read) to heather talk about Metal Gear, or Paul about tetris, for like five minutes and you'll realise that Kotaku tower is full of talent. Plus Gita is legit the most charming person on the planet. Look, I love tim's work for K-taco, but If you ONLY like tim you're clearly not looking very hard.

Dragon Quest is the game of the last century.
