First off, he's too biased, a lot of the things he complain about is all about taste, and he focuses all of his energy on the small issues like frame lock, what kind of video options are available or that the game isn't on par with his "godlike" hardware, instead of the actual meat of the games he play. Don't get me wrong, he WAS good BEFORE, but as of late, he's acting like a spoiled brat that cry his lungs out when the game isn't designed with HIS taste in mind, HIS system in mind, HIS personal preference in mind and it's getting a tad bit annoying, he overlook the big problems in order to focus on the small issues that could easily be fixed with any patch.
He also work himself up over small things such as the lack of settings or whatever that when he actually gets into the game, he's all too worked up to experience it with an open mind. And whenever he recieve critique in any shape or form (don't even have to be badly worded), he verbally abuses said person on the comment field without taking the critique to heart, he even admited that he don't listen even the slightest to his fanbase unless it's good stuff, he's so far up his own arse it's embarrasing.
And the sad thing is that he is one of the bigger voices of gaming journalists on youtube, so his biased opinions and ungrounded bashings is picked up as actual facts and not just his personal opinion and it's pretty destructive for game developers. He even said himself that he tries to make the industry better by voicing his shitty opinion and telling people what to buy and what not to buy, he isn't doing anyone a favour but he can't see that. A GOOD journalist should present facts and let the reader/listener make the call, not bash stuff into the ground and discourage people from buying a game just because he think it sucks.

I could go on with more but this have to suffice.
I actually like TotalBiscut's critique quite a lot, and I still do. A lot of it is his own personal preference, and he's openly admitted as well that he's a very "game mechanics", and technical person so he'll look very deep into those.
As for his complainants on games not running on his god machine, I think they're valid. From what I see TotalBiscut has a extreme high end computer, and if he encounters lag from a game even on that it means there are optimization issues with the game, because there's no way a computer of that caliber could ever not run it.
I don't if it's just me, but when I listen to his reviews, I don't feel offended/irritated at all by what he has to say, even when I disagree with him. It may sometimes be biased, but in the end it's his opinion, and it's just there for your consideration.

Do you guys have any nazi's in your town that you know ?
I know one "skinhead" (he's on my class) and he is very nice and polite guy. We have two Afghanistan guys on our class and he shows respect towards them and helps them if needed. Not all skinheads are stereotypical and über-racist nazis.
Before you guys get too excited, I can tell you that I'm not a skinhead or nazi
