The Irate Gamer Drinking Game

Through the five years the Irate Gamer has done videos, he tends to repeat a lot of things or have certain patterns. So much so that one can create a drinking game based on his videos. That’s what I’m going to do today.

You can choose to sip or take a shot. Due to the frequency of some parts, sips are recommended.
Don’t take a drink when he steals from somebody, that will just open up a can of worms.
EDIT: To avoid possible death, choose only 5-6 of these rules at a time. Don't attempt all of them.
EDIT 2: Non-alcoholic drinks are allowed as well. Extend it to 7-8 of these rules for non-alcoholic beverages.

Take a drink when…

- Game Genie or other cheat device is used (take another if he admits it)
- The Rule of Three is implemented
- His dialogue becomes redundant
- He points out the blatantly obvious
- He uses a green circle (sometimes in conjunction with the above)
- Something explodes
- He stares at the camera after a joke (thanks to DLAbaoqu for thinking this one up)
- He mispronounces or misspells something
- He brings up going to E3
- He’s incapable of understanding a console’s limitations
- He makes a comment about food (reviews related to food items don’t count)
- He fails at research
- He reins in his cursing (“BS”, “Gosh damn it”)
- He doesn’t beat a modern game (take another if he admits to it)
- He says “If you’re a fan of X, then you’ll like this one” or something similar to that.
- He plays bad or dies on purpose
- He complains about the difficulty
- One of his “original” recurring characters appears (Ronnie, Devil Bores, Wise Sage, Tony, Evil Gamer, and Cousin Joey)
- A non-original character enters his room (Megatron, Goro, Madballs, Skeletor, X-Men)
- Sprites from the game appear next to him or just appear in general
- He portrays more than three characters on screen
- Does an out of place joke that doesn’t make sense (Examples: Steve Urkel in Mission Impossible, The Wicker Man in Hell, Picasso showing up)
- Does a perverted sex joke
- Toilet humor occurs (and despite his mom’s objections, he uses toilet humor a lot)

Man that’s a lot. I once again recommend sipping for common occurrences, and please drink responsibly. You must be of legal drinking age in order to play. Be careful.

Before I go, I should mention he posted a new video. Another damn video on Skylanders, this time an unboxing of some of the new Series 2 Giants. It was boring and pointless, and his obsession with Skylanders is really getting annoying.

See you next time.

  1. I think people need to try that the next time they do a commentary on Bores. That sounds like fun! (Except I'm not into alcohol.)

  2. I think even sips would seriously mess up your liver, so I fear this game is not for me XD

    And I think you forgot a very important point:

    Take a shot whenever he says something along the line of "After lots of fan requests..."

  3. "Man that’s a lot. I once again recommend sipping for common occurrences, and please drink responsibly." -Batdan

    Is it even possible to drink responsibly in this game? Bore's videos are so short even taking sips wouldn't give you enough time to breathe!

    ReplyDelete
  4. Is it really a bad thing if he uses the Rule of Three? First time is funny, second time is a callback and third time is the "why didn't I see this coming?" feeling. It's only bad if it's a bad joke (and in Chris' case it often is).

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. The problem lies in the execution: He uses the Rule of Three so much (and without much variety) it loses any kind of surprise - especially since he zooms out very suspiciously before each gag, giving away that something's about to crash into him.

  5. Mother of God, with a drinking game like that, people might die!

    ReplyDelete
  6. "He plays bad or dies on purpose"

    Good lord, do you want us to live after this drinking game?

    ReplyDelete
  7. ... Yeah I think I overdid it.
    I can fix it, just choose 5-6 of these rules and go by that.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Could I use a non-alcoholic beverage for this if I wanted to? Say like, orange juice or Mountain Dew Throwback? I don't really drink.

    1. I'm sure BatDanNight would allow that! Given your age...

  9. Here's one. Take a shot whenever Chris calls the viewers "gamers".

    ReplyDelete
  10. I used the Home Improvement review as an example: 2:58, I exhausted my quota. Wow. I also suggest taking a drink every time he "Winter Games" when he plays, that pushed mine over to 9 sips, or one can of Mountain Dew Throwback.

    ReplyDelete
  11. How about this: While it only happened so many times, take an additional shot if a recurring character dons a new appearance or style, like Tony becoming hand drawn, the Genie now being played by Bores, or Skeletor Ronnie in the He Man reviews.

    ReplyDelete
  12. What about the comments section? I got a few ideas for it:
    Take a drink for when
    -There are fans blatantly lying
    -Ladybuggin777 defends Bores
    Drink a pint for when
    -Bores responds to a person with the exact same typing style as Ladybuggin777
    -Take 2 sips/shots when Ladybuggin777 notices the mistake and pins the blame on her "crew"

    ReplyDelete
  13. I fear everyone will be too drunk to even comment on this blog once the next video comes out.

    ReplyDelete
  14. I think he loves skylanders cause he is very immature and childish (you can see from his humor) and that game targets mainly children.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. That might be it, but it's so weird of him being a massive Skylanders fanboy while at the same time bashing Nintendo for being to kiddie Oo

      Delete
    2. Hmm true. But most Nintendo games don't require you to buy toys. So his bashing Nintendo makes even less sense unless he is trying to make his skylanders fanboism seem less childish. He can bash Nintendo for being kiddy but praise skylander for good gameplay and get a 'kiddie' game and toys out of the deal. Idk just a thought. His mother controlling everything to do with his channel and fighting his battles for him definatly shows a lack of maturity. Funny how some things from our childhood never change.

      Delete
    3. He is calling Nintendo Kiddy because that is the in thing to do right now.

      There is a bandwagon expect Bores to jumping it!

      Delete
  15. How about taking a shot whenever he says "After doing some research..." and when he takes 2-3 or more months to release a review.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Take a shot when he contradicts himself (e.g. 'Sonic 4 wasn't enough of a departure from the rest of the Sonic series' months after criticising Sonic Unleashed for trying something different; complaining that Home Improvement has no instructions after saying nobody reads them in his Contra review), and if he uses 'literally' in the wrong context, ala "I was literally blown away."

    Oh yes, and take a shot every time he does a facepalm (increase the number of shots per one for each additional facepalm, and double it if it reads "facepalm" on the screen). THAT will fuck you.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Take TWO shots if he contradicts himself in the same episode. Watch his SMB2 review at your own risk.

  17. I'll stick with soda and not anything alcoholic.

  18. LadyBuggin' left a comment:

    "Hey I heard thru some IG fans that BatDanNight is promoting drinking alcohol till you drop dead! Really clever of him, isn't it? Wonder what the mothers of his 12-14 yr. old fanboi's would say. I doublt teling them they need to be of drinking age and to drink responciably will stop them from partaking in this dangerous game. When have preteens and teens listened to that kind of adult advice? Uh like never! Very poor judgement on Dannyboy's part. Wouldn't be surprised if he got a law suit against him, from some inflamed minors mother, for his tom foolery. Can he get any more rediculous?"

    "partaking in this dangerous game"

    1. So neither Bores fans nor his mother are familiar with the concept of drinking games Oo

      So much stupidity in these two sentences.

    3. WAIT.... "Heard thru some IG fans"!?

      Ummm if they're reading this blog to the fullest extent possible and actually understanding the content placed here and not judging this blog by its name, then they're not IG fans....

      The sad part is I'm pretty sure we're gonna get flak from people who don't know better about her lies. A drinking game doesn't endorse drinking alcohol you idiot! A drinking game is joke made to point out stupid recurring cliches that no-one likes!

    4. Maybe johnnyawesome will play the drinking game, be funny to see him too drunk to win a competition :D

    5. Didn't Chris put a random Budweiser ad in his TMNT review? Also, I remember him advertising for an online casino, so I guess encouraging minors to gamble is a-okay

    7. Wow, Norman Bores is really grasping at straws, isn't he? Never mind the fact that most of the "kids" who come here only ever come to troll and likely don't even read the articles, but why even bother with the slander? Don't most of his brainwashed flunkies hate this site already? And if those kids' parents don't care enough to take interest in the crap they're subjecting themselves to, I imagine they're even less in the know of this site. So really, Bores' trade is totally pointless.

      Off topic, but am I the only one with the suspicion Bores has actually been here? I mean, are his young fans really going to report to him a drinking game has been created based on his stupidity? Would they even know what a drinking game was? If he does come here, maybe he could actually improve if he tool Batdan's posts to heart rather than shooing it away.

    8. Bores mom was a drinker so she should friggin understand the concept of a drinking game. My guess is this woman is getting pretty desperate about attacking this blog and making her son look better.

      Delete
    9. Well if she is a drinker then she could come up with better insults. I'm pretty sure at this point that Bore's IS his mom.

      Delete
    10. Gentlemen, I believe we are missing the bigger point. We are being watched. I, for one, am very creeped out by that. Not that we should, you know, tone down our near-mutual hatred of Bores. If anything, since they are probably watching, we should step up our hatred. Maybe we'll finally get the die-hard ones to understand the truth.

      Delete
    11. It probably be best to not ramp up the hate. We should always remain civil and set an example how to properly talk back to us. Otherwise we'll just be the mindless hatemonger's they try paint us as... As long as this watching doesn't get too personal then I say its absolutely okay for Chris Bores to read this blog. Maybe he'll actually improve, hell maybe he'll realize that people want to see him become a self-parody.

      I want to see the day where the Irate Gamer's name doesn't promote controversy. A day where there are no more people spewing illogical hate at other people. A day where a new reviewing can pop up on youtube and not get trolled to the death by the Irate Gamer 'Fandom'.

  19. Lol Ladybuggin the clown of YouTube.
    Not to mention let's get some YouTube ranted that lots of IG fans watch to expose the Johnny Awesome Contest bit that should piss off a lot of the IG fans.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Oh... oh wow. Bores posted a trailer for the return of Haunted Investigators. Only it's no longer called Haunted Investigators, it's now called "Pursuit of the Paranormal". Probably because Haunted Investigators made it sound like the people themselves were haunted.

    It's... the same boring crap we saw before. I don't how it's any different, other than the "spooky" trailer music. What a joke.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. That was my beef about the title! It was so awkwardly worded.. "wait, doesn't that make the investigators the haunted ones?"

      Anyways, I never cared either way for those videos, and they weren't as annoying. Maybe it's because we saw two other people along with Chris who aren't trying to be annoying tools, as opposed to Irate Gamer which is just about 100% Chris all the time.

      Delete
    2. Title's already taken...

      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOpwDPsWmvY&noredirect=1

      Also judging from the trailer/description they actually have "the longest conversation with the dead ever recorded".

      It's looking even more like he took my idea, the recorded conversation is fake and just serves as a plot point to the eventual horror encounter.

      Delete
    3. Hey Dave, if you think he's stolen your idea (and I wouldn't put it past him), you should type out your story in the comments of his trailer and spoil it. Better you tell your story then let the hack butcher it. And if he removes your story, then you'll know for sure he stole it.

      Delete
    4. That's actually a great idea. If you put it up, and you're wrong, then no harm done, since it will look like speculation. If you're right, then you're either very Genre Savvy or he stole your idea. If he removes it, he DEFINITELY stole your idea.

      Delete
    5. Oh gosh. Better title. How about 1-3 idiots failing to chase ghost with equipment that would get them laughed out of any real investigation team. I'm part of legitimate paranormal investigation team. Chris and his rag tag group were a joke. And this means they either fabricated evidence, or there's a reasonable explanation from the noises he captured. The fact that he's claiming its from the dead shows we are not off to a good start. No investigator worth his salt will pin down evidence to one single possibility except in extremely rare circumstances. It could be the dead, it could be something demonic, it could be many many things. This is just like something straight from our childhood. Chris getting into something he knows NOTHING about and within an hour of doing ghost hunting (for example) he becomes the world leading expert in all things paranormal -_- you haven't changed, Chris.

      Delete
    6. Looks like he's taken his e3 interviewing skills to the paranormal realm folk's. "Is being alive the same as being dead?" Gosh, Chris, idk, you tell me!

      Actually its not hard. Google "define death" and then Google "define life". I know you think Wikipedia isn't a reliable source of information but gosh... really?

      Delete
    7. I always assume the investigators WERE haunted, because they never managed to make any kind of interesting footage X

      But "Pursuit of the Paranormal"? Sounds more like a strangely worded description of what they're doing, not to mention that the name's already taken, which in turn might result in Bores' little ghost show being taken down.

      @Shaolin Dave:

      It's better to steal from you than having them encounter the Pixel Demon or Pacman ghosts.

      And I'd also say you should spoiler the plot beforehand. Might be fun.

      @STELLA77:

      Only a badass, battle-hardened e3 interviewer can get mankind's last secrets from the dead - or something like that.

    8. I had to create another sockpuppet account (David McAlias), since his mother blocked me earlier, but I posted a comment. Everyone should thumbs up it so it'll get some attention.

      I'd like to, but apparently blocked accounts can't use thumbs on comments Oo

    10. You should also take a picture or record a video of the comment so the fanboys can't say "ur liar lol" if it's removed.

    11. Can anyone identify the blinking device seen at the 13-14 second mark of the trailer? I'm sure it's been re-wired to find ghosts, but what was it when Home Depot sold it?

    12. That was my first thought, but it was a shot in the dark as I've never owned or used one.

      Impressive that he's jury-rigged it to locate something so fundamentally different from studs. Hope he releases the schematic!

    13. I took a screenshot of the comments Dave put up. If IG takes them down, I'll still have proof the comments were made, and can post them if need be.

      Delete
    14. @Harrod:

      Speaking of dark, why does nobody bring any proper lighting? Are ghosts that scared of light? They only had a few flashlights, and those were apparently made useless by the camera's filter (which might be a day-for-night filter, I dunno).

      I guess Stud Finders are easier to manipulate for the camera?

      Delete
    15. A stud detector?! He couldn't even spring for a replica PKE Meter from Ghostbusters?! Dear God. Let's just pray he doesn't lampshade it by pointing it at himself and going "Well gee, it looks like it's working!" Then staring at the camera in that way that makes you want to punch him.
      Actually most of what he does make me want to punch him. But the staring is pretty stupid.

      Delete
    16. @Kyon I don't think he's gonna stare at the camera a lot (in the manner you are describing). He only seems to do that in his main show. As for the stud finder, well maybe studs are ghosts. Huh? have you ever considered that studs are ghosts? How else do walls stay up? It's gotta be ghosts! So his stud will make noises and therefore detect ghosts.

      http://www.viddler.com/v/3c4636fa
      (commentary of the video + user comments)
      My favorite was the part where one of the users conjectured that he had consumed various sections of the camera's power source.

      Also of note: Irate gamer credited himself 4 times in the ending credits and didn't list anyone else. So bores must have been the female too. I knew bores was a transvestite. It takes so long for him to make videos because he has to go through so many sex change operations! Theory started!

      Delete
  21. Did Chris recently put YouTube language warnings on his videos? That is surprising to me

    I don't know if anyone has pointed it out, but in the old IG videos, they started with a disclaimer for strong language. Then in recent years he just didn't seem to care about the language and didn't put the disclaimer.

    Just strange to see it up again. It's not like he truly needed it when he became a YouTube partner.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Well as a teetotal I guess I'll have to stick to taking shots of concentrate fruit juice.

    As for Ladybuggin she really is something, (it could be worth mentioning to her that in the UK it's legal to drink when you're 18 and in other countries the legal age can be even lower.)

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. In the UK it's actually legal to drink from the age of 5. It's just illegal to buy it until you're 18.

      In France they even give kids wine in schools!

    2. Wow, I didn't know that and I'm British, how embarrassing...

    3. Germans are allowed to drink beer with 16, and everything else with 18 (which you might consider a competitive advantage for our breweries). Most start a little bit earlier, though. But your government's more concerned about internet and violent video games than the stuff that's actually ruining our kids (<_<)

  23. Did you get this idea from ICBINAVGN? He does a drinking game of taking a shot everytime Chris does an overtly long stare at the camera at the end of a "sketch".

    1. He was one of the inspirations. I also noticed how often he does things in his Neo videos, like bring up E3 or say "if you're a fan of X, then this is for you". I expanded upon it from there and included DLA's entry.

      Well, I don't hate the Irate gamer because he's a poor gamer and doesn't do good reviews. I hate him for his blatant ego and constant attempts to cause flame-wars on the internet. He does this to help remove his competition and get them shut down. It's deplorable and I can never respect him for that. It also doesn't help that he's heavily marketed towards the impressionable child viewer. It also doesn't help that he's pretty much killed all the big name reviewers off youtube or rather youtube did (see nostalgic critic's I'm leaving youtube video to spot the hypocrisy). Is he still labeling his video's as education? If he still is, that's another thing on my list.

  26. To coincide with the release of his trailer Chris updates the ghost hunters page under his Irate Entertainment banner. Check this out:



    TV Return in 2012 to break new Ground in Ghost Hunting World?

    Yes its true! Another ghost hunting project is underway. Its still seeking distribution, hopefully it will appear on Netflix. That would rock. I don’t want to give too much away but I will say that we caught some amazing evidence about the afterlife that no one has ever revealed before! Staff and camera crew alike were amazed by what transpired.

    Some of our Ghost hunting methods are unique to our group as we tend to approach spirits in a more spiritual way than what you see on TV. I personally am very proud and excited about this project and will keep you updated.

    4. @Doresh
      Netflix is not a free service. The streaming service alone is $8 dollars a month, if you choose to do the DVD plan then it varies depending on how many DVDs you wish to rent. But basically, you still pay money for it.

      Bores getting "Pursuit of the Paranormal" on Netflix is more of his ego talking.

    5. @BatDanNight:

      That's what I thought. Do they even offer original shows?

      Delete
    6. They actually do have original shows. The most notable being the planned fourth season of Arrested Development. But they have other original shows as well.

      But these shows tend to be higher quality, not the type of stuff Bores tends to put out.

      Delete
    7. So we have high quality standard, a total lack of his normal fans (I'll just presume that kids don't use Netflix), AND the fact that most Netflix users probably only watch what they want, without random zapping. Can't see how this could possibly go wrong.

      You also gotta love the line "hopefully it will appear on Netflix". Did he even CONTACT Netflix Oo ?

    8. I bet he's hoping Netflix will contact him about it or something. I mean, how could they NOT try and get this spectacular piece of...media...onto their service?

  27. I also noticed something on the Haunted Investigators official website. Right next to the information posted above by The Gentleman, I found this:

    "Haunted Investigators TV SHOW?
    Chris Bores (Youtube Celebrity) produced some episodes in 2007-2009 from our first batch of investigations as we covered popular attractions in the Cleveland, Toledo, and yes even the Columbus Ohio Area’s. We’ve come along way since these episodes but feel free to watch as they are professionally produced."

    YouTube celebrity? Professionally produced? "Along" way? Columbus Ohio Area's? Oh my goodness there are so many things wrong in these two sentences, it's hilarious.

    1. If Chris honestly believes this will go any further than his YouTube channel, then he is extremely deluded. If it does somehow get onto TV, it will most likely be on some local broadcast company's channel in his area.

  28. LadyBuggin responded to my suspicions that Chris may have stolen my idea. She denies it. I still won't be convinced until the show comes out and doesn't resemble my ideas at all (Which I admit is entirely possible. Bores could have changed his mind about copying me when I called him out before he ever started filming. He may have never been interested in copying this idea from me anyway.)

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Figures Norman Bores would deny stealing something. Boy, isn't that something new? Anyway, I thought there being a trailer indicated he'd already filmed it. I haven't seen it since I like to avoid giving the guy views, so I may be off a bit... was it more like a teaser, or was there actual footage?

      And what do you mean THIS idea? Has he stolen something from you before this?

      Delete
    2. Quoting the old Shaolin dave post
      "I mentioned this on the blog last year, but I thought I'd just remind anyone who's interested.

      Years ago I had an idea for a movie and/or video game. The cast of a ghost hunting show are filming an episode and slowly realize that their shooting location is really haunted, and the spirits are hostile.

      I was talking with some of the crew of "Nightmare House 2" about making this game with me. When some friends in a "Left 4 Dead 2" game were asking me if we were planning a "Nightmare House 3", I told them that we'd instead work on my "Ghost Hunting" idea instead. I went into quite a bit more detail than I probably should have, but they were friends-only games so I figured it was cool.

      Bores and I have a friend in common. I didn't realize Bores was in our game because he'd changed his handle. He heard all the plot details for my game. This was only a couple days before he announced that he was going to start filming "Haunted Investigators: Season 2" with "exciting new developments".

      Since then, I haven't heard anything. I suspect Bores stole my idea, but I guess we'll find out for sure when the new "season" comes out.

      FYI, I cancelled my project when I heard of the movie "Grave Encounters". I haven't decided if I'll ever bring it back, but probably not. The ideas are just too similar."

      @skyrunner
      I don't speak for Shaolin but I do believe that its mere speculation at this point that Irate gamer intends to steal his idea. Besides, everything Irate gamer does is uninspired. There's very little he hasn't managed to steal or perform poorly.

      Delete
    3. @skyrunner14

      A DooM mod I made with my two best friends about 20 years ago was stolen by two people around 2000. One of them was named "Chris Bores". I might not sure how common the name is, obviously no one had a reason to pose as him back then.

      @ Mr Kill Ultra

      Absolutely, it's just speculation.

      If he did rip off my idea, well, most people will just say he ripped off "Grave Encounters". I guess the only reason I care is that I know for years I'd be hearing about it and wouldn't be able to speak out because anyone could say it after he revealed the show.

    4. What was the name of this doom mod, can we have evidence of this "chris bores" stealing stuff?

      odds are though, that he totally wants to steal your idea. Irate Gamer wants as much negative publicity as possible, so its even more likely now that he'll try and steal your idea

      Delete
    5. I'm curious for more information to your mod as well.

      And you know, why would Bores even tell you he didn't steal it? I mean, how fast did he reply on the matter? If he hadn't stolen it, would he have even bothered immediately telling you otherwise? It's like asking a kid if they stole from the cookie jar, and their mouth is plastered with chocolate but they still tell you they didn't. All that, and he's lied before.

      I guess we can't know for sure till he gets off his lazy behind and actually posts the video, but I'm thinking it's a fact he's a thief, both then AND right now.

      Dave didn't say bores told him he stole it. He said that he found that one of the people who reposted/stole his mod had an account called Chris Bores.

    7. I know. I was referring to the idea, not the mod, in the second part of my previous comment. I guess my transition between topics didn't go that well... Oops.

      Delete
    8. For some reason my last comment from this morning didnt go through.

      Anyway, a couple years ago I wrote a message to Bores saying "Hey your name seems familiar? Are you the one who made that DooM and DooMer mod." I then explained the mod, where you fight zombie and monster versions of popular game characters like Mario, Sonic, the Space Invaders, etc.

      Bores's response: "No, not me. Sounds like a cool mod though!"

      I'm pretty sure this was the first time I ever sent a message to Bores (not counting back in 2000 when I sent many messages to both plagiarist), I didn't reveal my identity, so it looks like he had a chance to take credit and didn't.

      So, there's that.

      Delete
    6. I thought that the episode is a good reminder that AVGN is still capable of good writing and excellent reviewing. He summarized a good portion of what made the game difficult (i.e Bad weapons) but genuinely showed that the game was worth playing and wasn't all the bad (hence why he didn't swear as much). It's a good reminder of what AVGN can do and its well timed considering that many people are fed up by the delays caused by the movie (which has yet to be released...). Hopefully this will get that whole cheetahmen and movie donation 'scandals' to die out even quicker.

      Delete
    7. I actually found AVGN's GnG review to be great, probably the most entertaining episode for a very long time. Maybe because it was the result of a fan petition, maybe because it was an important game in his youth (even providing evidence), but he seemed to put extra care and effort into it.

      And yes, the review actually does make me want to play the game despite it being an accurate representation of fighting through seven layers of gaming Hell.

    9. @fattoler yeah, it's really strange what the companies are trying to do this year. Oh well this isn't the first time business and game designers have been oblivious to gamer trends.

      Ever wonder why adventure game's died? http://www.oldmanmurray.com/features/79.html. Capitalism is all about exploration, as a result we can never really be sure when a genre trend will die off or when they'll get the clue to stop playing monopoly (seriously buying out companies and dissolving them is a stupid stupid practice). This isn't the first time a company will experiment its new business sense at the expense of the consumers and it won't be the last. There's no solution but for human's to become more acquainted with good business and actions of companies that have failed. But that will never happen as we can never completely control human interests and as a result we will always get stupid crap like; THQ buying out shit-tons of companies it can't support, EA making gainax endings and on disc-dlc with ridiculous DRM then stating that piracy caused sales to plummet, or Capcom re-inventing the resident evil series (keeping elements like bad shaky camera) and cancelling strong IPs. It's not that companies don't want to make money, its that they're being too liberal with their stupid Ideas. Ultimately, it will be the companies that been the most conservative and traditional, that are likely to come out on top.

      Also AVGN is probably referring to past capcom. He doesn't really play new games, though I could be wrong.

      Delete
    10. I didn't think he was referring to Capcom in general, rather past Capcom...

      Delete
    11. now as for GnG, can i say something that may cause controversy?

      is it ok if i think that the original GnG is a terrible game?, the fact that the original arcade version was made as one of "those hard games" that were made hard and frustrating in purpose to suck up quarters, rather than making a game that was enjoyable, the problem of style over substance applies here in my opinion, because think about it, games like this were only made to frustrate the player and suck up quarters, and considering the questionable design choices made for the game, like the trap weapon that was the flame and the shield, it cripples the player and the experience just became un-enjoyable, that at the nd of the game you end hating the game, remember people, hard as balls games can be bad too.

      on top of that, the NES port wasn't even good to begin with, the crappy physics and the butchered frame rate only helped to the frustration, and the red arremers took advantage of the choppy frame rate, going on such irregular patterns, and apparently the game wasn't ported by capcom themselves, but by another company, or at least that was i read on HG101.

      I am sorry but at best, the game has aged poorly, it has the same problem as Battletoads, people defend this game just because they felt that they need to white knight it, even if they don't really enjoy the game because the difficulty was based on the programmers not taken in consideration the target audience of these games back then, (and no, i am not saying that anyone can anyone videogames, but mostr people were children when they played this games for the 1st time) and he deliverable made a game tat was just hard as balls to be infamous because of its difficulty, rather than his enjoyable factor.

      Delete
    12. Nope nothing wrong with saying the game sucks. Just keep in mind that your are a periphery demographic, as in you are not really the target audience. Game's like this are well-received because they are difficult and challenging. Obviously they are gonna be people who hate the fuck out of the game because the dexterity requirements are way too high.

      Ninja gaiden is a hard as fuck game, but people like that. Nothing's wrong with a hard game. difficulty = challenge = sense of accomplishment. Though you really should do your best to not hate a game because you aren't good at it. As it stands, your current arguments aren't good enough. Obviously the NES is not gonna have the frame-rate or graphics of the arcade. A game that is difficult because the player is expected to react quickly and skillfully is not bad programming. Ghost and goblins needs you to react quickly, it does not kill you because the jump button does not work or because there is a sudden change in established patterns. Do not confuse actual difficulty to fake difficulty. That is not to say that GNG doesn't have fake difficulty (i.e torch is a bitch, guy on ladder) as you have listed. Just remember that these games are cherished because they are hard for the right reasons (in general). There are plenty of games that are hard for wrong reasons like BrainDead13, Resident evil 6, C&C 4 none of which are well liked. As long as you truly felt you had control over your ability to progress is the key the factor in determining whether that game was bullshit or worth another try.

      Delete
    13. well all should said that, i never grow up with that game, i just remember playing it for the 1st time briefly, VERY briefly at the house of a friend i never saw again after highschool, it was just back in 2008 when i got the game and wanted to test myself to it, i will admit, maybe i am a bit old for hard as fuck games, and i mainly played for enjoyment, but when i played the game, i tried my best, and it only pissed me off, of how clunky it felt, and how relentlessly difficult was.

      and i am a guy who has beaten Kid Kool on the NES (a legitimate bad game, that for some reason i have some connection to it) getting the best ending twice, got the patiente to sit and beat RoboWarrior till the very end, and has just beaten Ninja Gaiden 1 recently.

    14. speaking of, how many of you have actually beaten those games, (not emu nor TAS BS please).

    15. Here's the thing. You're not wrong when when you say the game hasn't aged well. But most ofthe game's flaws stem primarily from that. While a fair number gamers are in fact white knighting the game purely on the nostalgia factor, there are those who enjoy it have no qualms in admitting GnG's glaring problems. I wouldn't say your opinion is contriversal.

      Delete
    16. @Vince yeah I totally agree, Kiki's opinion is nowhere near controversial. Though it doesn't help that he stated that he's only played the game once... =(

      @Kiki There's all kinds of difficulty in games. GNG's main diffculty is that enemies tend to attack from outside of your attack range while enemies that are always in your attack range will take forever to kill. Every gamer has a type of difficulty they just don't like. Take for example galactic civilization twilight of arnor. I am absolutely pissed off at this game! The developers jacked up the upkeep and research costs of every warfare tech in the game. The end result is that every game will be the same; you make planets that are average in all aspects, ships cost fucktons of money, researching weapons and planetary invasion takes longer than wining a technology victory and you have to constantly babysit your approval rating or lose. The game's hard, but to me its for the wrong reasons. Still beat that game though.

      Also to answer your other question, I did not play ghost and goblins, but I did finish bionic commando and Dick Tracy. I was born sometime during the genesis and NES wars so I wasn't old enough to play those games properly. Was also more of a genesis fan.

      Delete
    17. @Mr.Kill Ultra:

      Didn't notice those changes in Twilight of the Arnor? I actually enjoy that game and only really hate the campaign, largely because the Dread Lords are the ultimate troll faction. Their ships are ridiculously overpowered, their planets are a pain in the ass to invade, and they basically make it impossible to maintain starbases (not only do they seem to LOATHE starbases, they also seem to instantly know if one is build)

      Delete
    18. @Doresh Did you or didn't you notice the changes?
      I never really found the dread lords hard, Dregnin empire (who always outnumbers you) though... The key to the campaign is the same for regular random scenarios. Be a slave to PR. 100% approval = 2x pop growth and once you've hit pop cap on all planets, the chance to tax the hell out of the planets.

      Delete
    19. @Mr. Kill Ultra:

      I did NOT notice any changes (apart from the obvious stuff like new graphics and unique tech trees). Still played like I'm used to.

      And I don't think regular random scenarios make starbases useless.

      Delete
    20. @Doresh Really, I played from dark avatar to twilight and found going bankrupt from things that I normally did. Oh well every gamer has his own play-style, I tend to want to get military and weapons first. I also found that star-bases had shit weapons and hit-points and got them blown up since I don't bother to put garrisons on them. Some gamers are lucky/skillful enough to avoid pitfalls introduced in patches and changed game mechanics while others are not capable of such things. Also I never conjectured that you or I thought that star-bases are useless. +30 to morale or +30 to production or +255 to influence is fucking awesome. They are sitting ducks though (even with offensive upgrades).

      To be Truthful though, they did increase the upkeep costs and research costs. In Dark avatar I generally had 20+ guns on each ship by turn 100, in twilight 2.03, 8 guns on each ship by turn 300 while owning 9 planets in total. We also can't rule out the fact that I suck though.

      Delete
    21. @Mr.Kill Ultra:

      Maybe I didn't notice such negative changes because I've played Twilight of the Arnor longer than the previous versions, or because it fits better to my kind of style. I usually don't build a big fleet very early on, but of course I do research new military techs. If someone wants to mess with me, I can whip out a brand new fleet rather quickly to make him reconsider XD

      And I don't think starbases are useless. They are awesome. I like building and upgrading them. But everytime I build one in the campaign, the Dread Lords basically send an entire invasion fleet whose sole purpose is to destroy the base. It's weird Oo

      Delete
    22. @Mr.Kill Ultra:

      Oh, and you can boost research speed in the configuration menu before each new sandbox game. A faster speed might be more to your liking ^_^

      Delete
    23. I know about that one, but I prefer to keep it at normal. That's probably my mistake. =)

      yeah I noticed the dread lords love blowing up star-bases. I can do everything and they won't move from their main (and last planet) but if I build a star-base, they come running!

      Who else here plays 4X games?

      Delete
    24. *raises hand half-heartedly*

      Er... I've played Call To Power 2 and some Sid Meier games.

      My main problem with 4X games, or at least the ones I play, is that there always seems to be a moment when you've established your borders, your economy is sorted out, and you have smashed your enemies grand armies in a terrific battle, resulting in their loss of a hundred turns worth of building and research. Suddenly you are no longer defeatable, resulting in your long, drawn out, inevitable takeover of the world as slowly one-by-one your enemies fall before you and all they can do is send musketmen against your tanks.

      OR one of your enemies does that and everything is lost before you've reached the industrial age. The same thing can also be said for a lot of map-based strategy games. TV-Tropes probably has a word for it but call it 'The Threshold Of In4exorable Victory'.

      Delete
    25. Yeah alot of 4x games have that problem, but its pretty much apart of the genre and depends on the game. Many a player have snatched victory from the jaws of defeat by using superior tactics. Others have lost miserably when they were winning. My favorite 4X games would have to be the ones where you can design the units and tactically command like sword of the stars or masters of orion. I've lost a game (in sword of the stars) where the computer learned to use deflector shields to counter my missle dreadnoughts. I was winning 90% of the galaxy was mine! But those fucking deflectors took out all my missiles. Lost 60% of the galaxy, retaliated with combined arms tactics of heavy beams and missiles, won the game. 4X games are very subjective, sometimes you get fun games other times you get murdered or a boring game.

    2. Wow, this is really supposed to be a whole film? What, is he going to sit around for an hour and a half waving around a stud finder talking to himself?

    3. Wow, a whole film of him and Cicco going around, finding absolutely nothing, repeatedly saying orbs of dust are ghosts and asking 'Is there anybody here' over and over again? It will definitely win a special Razzie award for the 'Most Boring Film' ever.

    4. Don't forget that the "longest conversations with the dead in a single session" will consist of Bores interviewing a blinking stud finder in his infamous E3-style.

  48. *Stupid reply button not working again*

    I've never beaten any GnG game in the past. I tried it, but the knowledge that I'll have to play through every level twice (the second time with a very shitty weapon) is not very motivating ^^

    And I dunno, if I were to discover "groundbreaking secrets about the afterlife never documented anywhere before now", I'd go trolling the Skeptics Society instead of making the acknowledgement of my groundbreaking discovery depend on the right people buying my DVD...

  49. It's actually kinda funny how two different gaming videos have shown how crap Bores is as a gamer. James bets Ghost n' Goblins without cheating while Jon and Arin are making Aladdin looks pretty simple (you know, except for when they die because they got distracted or something like that)

  50. Wont let me reply. Oh well. "and with the aid of a ghost hunting device known as a K2 meter" woooow. A k2 meter. Well Chris, All you have to do to get results from that thing is leave your cellphone on silent and/or get people to call/text you. Fucking amatuer. Pardon my french.

    1. Using a K2 Meter to detect ghost is outright Baloney. It makes no sense to use a device for locating live wires before cutting into a wall or using nails makes for a valid detector.

      What makes matter worse is that the device is easily able to be spoofed to create fake evidence. It's even been shown that the tv show it was first used on was creating false positives.

      I'd give more credence if they were using a portable spectral analyzer. Of course those take a fair amount of expertize to even know what the meter is showing you. Keep also in mind a small Spectral Analyzer is usually about 1 foot by 1 foot because of the large screen they usually have. If you have no idea what the info it is displaying you will have no clue what you are even looking at.

      These various hand held 'ghost detectors' are basically the result of the Movie GhostBusters making people think that some handheld scanner instantly adds credibility to a paranormal investigator.

      Now for as far as his 'Ground breaking evidence' I highly doubt it's actually anything would paying money for. Classic bait and switch.

    3. I bet he's using such an easily fooled device so that he CAN spoof results.

  51. "Pre-order You DVD/Blu-Ray copy today!"
    HAHAHA any takers on that?
    "Pursuit of the Paranormal features the Haunted Investigators ghost hunting team that also stars in the most popular ghost hunting show on YouTube."

    do 2 people (maybe 3) really count as a paranormal investigation team? Especially when they find absolutely nothing to the point that they will resort to calling bugs/dust ghost? I think not. Also... most popular... yeah. Not something to brag on when you are probably the ONLY ghost hunting show on youtube. That's like Obama bragging that he is the most popular black president the US has ever had -_-

  52. Also if you watch the trailer with the K-2 meter. It uses the thumb press button... I call bullcrap. You can easily fake a reading by only applying light pressure to that button. When a K-2 meter powers on all the lights light up. Any real investigator willing to use a k-2 meter modifies it to use a on/off switch because that pressure button is way to easy to fake or give a false reading. Chris, You are not a gamer and you are by NO MEANS a paranormal investigator -_-

    1. One could argue that the lack of supply indicates a rather low demand...

    2. Well, that's less than one subscriber per video. If it was only one or two videos, then sure, but eight?
