About this ebook
Bob Chipman gained notoriety as a film critic, but he first arrived as a voice in the world of video games: as creator of THE GAME OVERTHINKER! Now, he brings together a special collection from his years writing about games; including full transcripts of select classic OVERTHINKER episodes. From games in pop-culture to negative portrayals of gaming in media, censorship, the "dickwolf" incident and even the GamerGate debacle; this volume covers one of the games industry's most tumultuous generations - by a gamer, for gamers.
While perhaps best known as the creator and star of classic Web Video series like Escape to The Movies, The Big Picture and The Game OverThinker; Bob Chipman has also published numerous volumes of written reviews, commentaries, thinkpieces and features covering the worlds of film, television, video games and the broader breadth of popular culture. Now, through The MovieBob Anthology, a selection of his best work is yours to own - selected and organized by theme by Bob Chipman himself.
