Pro Steam curator channel cataloging 30fps games
The Framerate Police is a Steam Curator channel that TotalBiscuit started as a reaction to Steam no longer listing the framerate games play at on their store. This way users can see what games play at the often considered low framerate of 30fps and then discuss if the frames can be unlocked and how. This is one in the many ways the John Bain pushes for pro-consumer ideals.
Pro Spends 20 minutes in the options menu

Cons
Con Videos can be long winded
While the information often provided is very detailed it can be long winded which means it takes time to watch, which is an investment from the viewer that is not always able to be given.
Con Strictly speaking, he doesn't do reviews
As TotalBiscuit himself will be quick to point out, TB doesn't do reviews, he mostly does first impressions. That means that the games he showcases and critiques on his channel he has not completed and so has only partial knowledge of the game.
Con He's dead
Still the best reviewer ever.
Con Quantity over quality
While Total Biscuit is a very level headed person and gives a very valuable service, he is not part of the best in the world of game criticism.
