The Cynical Brit (Web Video)	comment	The Cynical Brit?AKA TotalBiscuit; TotalHalibut; Dark Halibut; El Poncho Grande; Theultimatelettuce; John Bain.John Peter Bain (8 July 1984 â€“ 24 May 2018), better known by his screen name TotalBiscuit, was a British-born creator of YouTube videos and commentary showcasing his first impressions of whatever game has only just been released. He did fast-paced Starcraft II Multiplayer commentary, first-impression videos of indie games on Steam and other digital-distribution platforms through a series known as WTF is..., and collaborations with other channels, such as co-op playthroughs of Magicka and Trine 2 with Lewis Brindley and Simon Lane of the Yogscast and a Terraria series with Jesse Cox. As for his Starcraft II involvement, he became a sponsor for Team Dignitas' BlinG and founded Team Axiom, which had five players before his real-life illness forced him to shut it down.During his time with Wow Radio, TotalBiscuit hosted a few shows - Dungeon Master (a short-lived non-intensive raid guide), Titan, TB's Show About Videogames, and EPIC! - but, in the world of podcasts, he is best known for both his "shock-jock"-inspired persona and Blue Plz, a World of Warcraft weekly podcast, Cataclysm expansion beta (and afterward, published content) playthroughs with commentary, and daily updates of "WoW news and content" through his Azeroth Daily videos. He discontinued his regular World of Warcraft videos as of May 2011 and, although he continued it for a few weeks afterward, confirmed that Blue Plz is "done for good" as well. He did 27 videos of an ambitious Let's Play for Shining Force III (which he was unfortunately been forced to take down due to copyright claims by Sega Japan), and had been embarking on a playthrough of DC Universe Online after a handful of beta content videos were well-received on his channel.You can find his YouTube channel here, TotalHalibut. In August of 2011, he created another YouTube channel, TotalBiscuit, which he used to host exclusively Starcraft II content. He was yet another member of Polaris, and ever since it was called TheGameStation helped run a weekly podcast, now called The Co-Optional Podcast.In April 2018, Bain formally retired as a game critic, due to failing health caused by increasing issues with the cancer he had been diagnosed with back in 2015. He passed away due to complications from the disease on 24 May 2018.

The Cynical Brit (Web Video) / int_1994ba0b	comment	Gone Horribly Right: His WTF is of I Wanna Be the Guy Gaiden. He made it intending it to be a parody of "rageplayers" on Youtube who overreact to everything, getting outraged over the smallest things and throwing in plenty of Out Of Character Moments in order to emphasise this. Unfortunately, he managed to do a rage video a bit too well and created a genuinely funny video. Naturally, most people didn't get the joke. Inverted with his time with Squirrel Girl in Marvel Heroes. He assumes that the person who gifted him her did so as a joke. After playing with her, and doing some research into the character, he becomes a fan of the character (citing her as one of the funniest Marvel characters out there)

Like his "WTF is", this sometimes leads to a massive sales increase for a short while after.

Simon decides to finally add TotalBiscuit to his Steam friends list during one of his Terraria livestreams. Another one where he cameos during the Yogscast's Earth Defense Force Livestream (audio only as the video is game footage). Notable of reducing Sips to a blithering fanboy. And now Lewis is a cute necromancer girl followed by 4 meatpatchworked monsters while TB is a furry with a charrzooka and stabby stabby daggers in the GW2 beta. In Tom Syndicate's 6th August Minecraft Project livestream, TB called him up on Skype after 15 minutes to help him with streaming lag issues.

The Cynical Brit (Web Video) / int_6627695f	comment	Author Appeal: Top hats and monocles appeared to be high on his agenda. If there were in-game cosmetics for one's avatar, TB was certain to go and seek them out. While the monocle never became such, TB did wear a top hat on "official" videos in which his face was shown. One example of this would be his coverage of the Games Com show. TB was a big Terry Pratchett fan, sometimes encouraging people to read the books. The origin of his name? From the book Carpe Jugulum, TotalBiscuit, a "horrible" name given to a child because of the child's culture. His first online handle also came from Terry Pratchett, Soulcake. Given quotings during his bout as Darkhalibut in DC Universe Online and also during his videos against Angry Joe in XCOM: Enemy Unknown, his love of Frank Klepacki's music and knowledge of events that occur within the series, it seems likely that TotalBiscuit was a fan of Command & Conquer.

The mess with Day One and Guise Of The Wolf had left both companies humiliated and their reputations utterly tarnished. And that's not even half of it when you take into account his fanbase's (sometimes overkill) reactions to said threats. The makers of Guise Of The Wolf actually threatened to sue; TB's response roughly amounted to "bring it on". They backed down within the day since no sane prosecutor would take a case that censored free speech (a constitutional right) and the fact that TB has access to Polaris' lawyers. Even funnier is that although he didn't pursue it as his career, he actually graduated college with a Law degree.

That said, this trope is possibly parodied for the most part. There have been quite a few times where he said something that isn't stereotypically cute (like the cyber-skull in Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine) being adorable. One instance of this happened during Easter Day where his twitter avatar became a cute rabbit, followed up by him linking to bunny videos on YouTube and posting random cute bunny pictures throughout the day. Subscribers and followers of his Twitter had a Wild Mass Guessing about whether he was momentarily possessed, drunk, sad, hungry for rabbit meat, Trolling, if it was his wife, or if he had a soft spot for bunnies. If he couldn't acquire a guest host (or one of the regular hosts was unavailable) for the weekly TGS Podcast, he'd replace the spot in the overlay with either a still image or video of a cute animal, often one of his own pet chinchillas or dogs.

He believes the only context in which "pay-to-win" has any meaning is when discussing an F2P game with someone who's actually played it for an extended period of time, as they'd likely give accurate information on it. "Cinematic": While initially used in a review article describing the movie-like cutscenes of The Order: 1886, he points out that developers and publishers have misused the term to essentially mask possible performance issues if a game were to run at 60 frames per second, with the most often-used reason being "television runs at 24 FPS". He believes the comparison should be dropped completely, as comparing two different forms of media is comparing apples to oranges. "Overrated": Calls the term "lazy criticism" and is of the opinion that it's used solely by fan haters who are annoyed by a large crowd of people who like a thing they don't like. He then goes on to say that offering alternative game suggestions that are better than the "overrated" game would be a more productive use of one's time than essentially making fun of other peoples' opinions. "Roguelike": Points out that the term has strayed far from its original definition of "like Rogue" (e.g. NetHack or Angband). Instead, it's misused in a way to describe a game that has any gameplay elements in common with Rogue, like Randomly Generated Levels, Permadeath, or turn-based combat. He does at least acknowledge the existence of the term "Roguelite" as an effort to remedy this problem. "Beta": Notes that developers misuse the term to describe what is essentially a demo, instead of a game in a "feature-complete, but buggy state" as is commonly used in software development jargon. He then goes on to use Rainbow Six Siege as an example, pointing out that the "open beta" for it went largely unchanged when the game actually came out. He also believes the term "beta" is used to deflect criticism, pointing out that several games have supposedly been in beta for years, and he takes particular issue with supposed "betas" that have monetization.

Don't mess with Husky Starcraft — the guy was responsible for getting TB his YouTube partnership, and the job to provide for his family. In TB's own words: "Husky is the reason my family still has a roof over their heads". invoked Had a bit of a trigger finger on banning Fan Dumb — both his own and that of others. It doesn't matter if you like his videos, you love kittens or you like Ponies — if you were being a dick about what you liked, you would piss him off. Also, don't touch his hat, as Jesse found out the hard way in Terraria. Don't. Diss. Charity! Be it the Humble Indie Bundle or Red Cross. You WOULD get shouted at, banned from his channel, and possibly set on fire through the internet. League of Legends and its publisher Riot Games ever since his falling-out with both note Riot used to have a referral program with the ultimate reward being an all-expense-paid trip to their HQ to help design a new champion. After TB met this goal, which was thought to be impossible, this was redacted before he could actually claim his prize and instead got an in-game item named after him, the Total Biscuit of Rejuvenation. TB was not too happy.. He talked about the game from time to time during his Content Patch news discussions, but asking him why he didn't stream it anymore was a quick way to get his wrath. Moogles, which made TotalBiscuit punch a kitten. Chocobo~... His biggest one yet at the time: Do not, under any circumstance, question TB's morals as a commentator and as a game consumer. Nearly an hour of the fourth GameStation podcast was devoted to a debate/shouting contest between Jesse and TB on this. Minecraft. He found the game itself to be overrated, thought the community was the worst on the internet, and had come to hate Mojang themselves, especially after Notch bad-mouthed the Yogscast on Twitter after the first Minecon. Buffalo. Censorship, the mess with Day One: Garry's Incident showcased perfectly how enraged TB could become when someone abuses fair use or other copyright laws to censor opinion. Making crappy sequels to beloved franchises of his. Companies he found terrible, such as The Chinese Room. Hand-holding in video games, such as forced tutorials. Horrible game title screens, limited options menus, and generally bad interface designs or UI. TB tended to give these more attention than the average critic does, as he spent the first part of each "WTF Is..." video breaking these aspects down. The claim that 30 FPS is ideal for video games because "it's more cinematic" tended to set him off, especially since he'd shown that games can markedly improve at 60 FPS and many modern computers can handle it. In July 2015, he started a Steam curator list called "The Framerate Police," dedicated to pointing out games that are locked at 30 FPS, alongside any possible means of unlocking the frame rate. Pre-ordering and Early Access games on Steam and the people who support these practices with their money. One of his rants succinctly states why. One particular influx of overzealous people seemed to irk him quite a bit, as set from the opinion he set on the Giant Bomb controversy and when fellow content creator JonTron came under fire from them. Anything falling under TB's "anime bullshit" umbrella, particularly the stuff that his wife forced him to play with her. He explained that while he recognized Japanese culture's eccentricities, the main reason for his distaste was the obnoxious fanbase and the tendency to be overly Japanese/cute/perverted/etc. for its own sake. Transphobia and intolerance among his community, which was quite understandable. His response to the unpleasantness with reddit's response to LauraKBuzz's appearance on the Co-Optional Podcast makes this quite plain; if you're a bigot and expressed hatred in his community, he did NOT want you as a fan, and he would do whatever he could to ensure that your hate speech was silenced.

TB is Dyspraxic, which according to a comment, is a motor learning difficulty that can affect planning of movements and coordination as a result of brain messages not being accurately transmitted to the body, which means it took TB around twice as long to solve puzzles as someone who doesn't have this. Despite this, he seemed to really like Super Meat Boy, which was hard enough already for a person without dyspraxia!

The Top 5 Worst videos I made in 2012. In the Game Station podcast, while talking with Jirard the Completionist, he did some good-natured ribbing on his own tendency to look at options menus first during WTF Is? (and FOV sliders in particular) by coming up with a hypothetical Let's Play channel called "TB Doesn't Complete It" ("the worst LP channel on the entire Internet"). It consists entirely of him looking at the options menu, fiddling with the FOV slider (or complaining if it isn't there) and then ending the video.

The Cynical Brit (Web Video) / int_cf3158e0	comment	Why Fandom Can't Have Nice Things: invoked Will never ever post a Minecraft video due to the Fan Dumb: According to TB, once you go Minecraft, you never go back because of never ending fan demand. Funny enough, his wife, Intricacy, had her first Cynical Brit Community News video with Minecraft in the background, even lampshading how she's going against TB's "no Minecraft" rule. Ditto for Heroes of Newerth. TB isn't going to cover it mostly because the community is so horrible, but especially because, when he'd done his first League of Legends video, he received a massive amount of hatemail from Heroes players insulting him and demanding him to cover their superior game instead. Yeah. Not too hard to believe. TB no longer reads the YouTube comments in his videos because of the sheer amount of stupidity that resides there. He used to read them, but blocked them on his personal computer after his doctor told him they had given him stress-related illness. Now, his volunteer mods and his wife read them for him and relay the best and most frequent comments. Whenever he does occasionally read and respond to comments, it is like seeing chum thrown into a shark pool. At this stage, the Skyrim community is nearing this point as well, as despite having stated on several occasions that he will not do Skyrim content (because he wouldn't be able to live up to the standard for content on his page (as well, he's outright stated that he just doesn't like Skyrim, so that's probably why), and also because everyone and their mother is doing it), he still gets tweets, Facebook messages and YouTube comments on whether or not he will do a WTF is... Skyrim. It's gotten to the point where he has made a video solely to explain why he doesn't take requests. He called out a commenter for accusing him of being a jerk just because he stated, in a neutral tone, "I don't do requests". His explanation basically boils down to the fact that taking requests results in going straight down a slippery slope, would make it harder for him to do his job, and would just be a massive disservice to his viewers. Sadly, it's inevitable that some people will not get the point. No longer does giveaways thanks to massive bile from a particularly vocal minority amongst the non-North Armerican viewerbase over a graphics card giveaway. Why were they angry? Because the giveaway was limited to North America due to contest laws varying wildly outside it and massive shipping costs across continents, which could very easily have gone up to $1000. Once again, a case of a few bad apples spoiling the rest of the basket. Some exceptions are made, usually where shipping is not an issue (i.e. giving away Steam keys for titles, such as Retro City Rampage.) And now he's disabled the voting feature on Youtube's comments on all his videos.

The Cynical Brit (Web Video) / int_f9f2c33	type	Running Gag
The Cynical Brit (Web Video) / int_f9f2c33	comment	Running Gag: Numerous. TotalBiscuit's and Jesse's ineptitude with explosives in their Terraria Let's Play. Earlier, he Simon Lane and Lewis Brindley had issues with explosives (a spell combination Simon discovered, which they began calling "ARSE Mines" after the keys needed to cast it) in their and TB's Magicka series. There's also the completely unrelated matter of TB describing games he plays as simulators: A Meta-example: Whenever a YouTube video receives recognition from TB (via a Like or share on his channel), expect one of the top liked comments to be some variation of "The Cynical Fleet has Arrived" because of the legion of TB fans watching the video. This originated from TB's tendency of 1-base Battlecruiser-rushing on Starcraft II before he switched to Zerg: It got popular enough for the subscriber icons in chat to be Battlecruisers, the subscribers to be named the Cynical Fleet, and the cruisers themselves to be renamed "Biscuitcruisers". A variation of this is "A TotalBiscuit army is approaching from the west!", derived from the Terraria in-game message 'A goblin army is approaching from the west/east!' TotalBiscuit pronouncing M. Night Shyamalan as Shyamalalalal.

The Cynical Brit (Web Video) / int_fdbd6162	comment	Anything falling under TB's "anime bullshit" umbrella, particularly the stuff that his wife forced him to play with her. He explained that while he recognized Japanese culture's eccentricities, the main reason for his distaste was the obnoxious fanbase and the tendency to be overly Japanese/cute/perverted/etc. for its own sake.
