PSA: Beware the Fake Irate Gamer

Still no videos or updates. But I do need to address something.
Recently, I've been getting people telling me that Irate Gamer insulted them. That isn't entirely true. It's someone posing as the Irate Gamer, using his channel name and avatar. Calling people liars, attention whores, cursing at them, doing a lot of harm to Chris' (remaining) image.

This is the fake channel.
Notice how there's nothing there? If you see IG being hostile to someone, click his name and see if it's the fake. Chances are it's the fake.
Why Chris doesn't block this guy I don't understand.
So before you leave a comment here or e-mail saying that Chris cursed at you or called you a name, click the channel.

Another thing to note. I was checking his Socialblade page and I saw that he's no longer part of Collective Digital Studio (or Studio71). In fact, under "Network/Claimed By", it's listed as "None". He's not part of an MCN right now.
Chris, how about telling us what happened. Break the radio silence for once in your life. People want to know.

  1. I know it's pretty late to be asking to be asking this, but what do people think about the trailer for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them? Do y'all think it's going to be good? I personally think the concept is pretty interesting and I'm sure that I will enjoy it but what do y'all think?

    1. I think it looks interesting, as a big Harry Potter fan; I'm quite excited. As it's coming out 15 years to the day Sorcerer's Stone came out, I plan on going. I would also be open to a film on Quidditch through the Ages if it's a hit.

  2. Maybe that "fake" account is actually Bores. Maybe he created it to stir up controversy or vent his trollishnes without (further) damaging his "rep".

    1. I doubt it, there would be no reason to use his actual alias if that were true.

    2. Unlikely, that's what his LadyBuggin account is for

  3. I'd like to see Chris make a cameo on Fuller House. After all, both Chris's humor and the humor from that show are very similar - Bland and insipid.

    1. Full House is an example of a show that I enjoyed when it originally aired, but it definitely did not age well at all. I remember I used to watch it because Michelle was funny and it was part of the TGIF lineup. Family Matters was WAAAAAYYYY better. I've only seen clips of Fuller House, and it's pretty much what I expected, but worse.

    2. I personally consider the original Full House to be pure cheesy schmaltz, and the new show looks to be more of the same. Even the Carly Rae Jespen theme is every bit as corny as the original theme (by the way, she's not my kind of music. Mostly listen to classic rock, alternative, and 80s and 90s music lately).

  5. I can think of 2 reasons Bores didn't block the fake account:

    1. He doesn't know about the fake account.

    2. He doesn't care enough to block an impersonator.

  6. If this is a fake channel, then this means that Crisbo is too lazy to even block him. How low can he go?

    1. Blocking is easy, Bores does it all the time.

      I had someone impersonating me on YouTube. When I complained, the account and channel were deleted within 48 hours.

  7. Why would someone want to pretend to be Bores anyway?

  8. Chris just posted on FB to announce that he's "semi-retired" and now it's totally up in the air when the next IG episode will be out.

    Well, looks like this is the end.

    1. wow...so all that talk about the upcoming ep was bullshit huh? No surprise.

      it was obvious that the channel became more of a chore for him to maintain.

      Delete
    2. Historically, Bores has gotten an outpouring of love from the fans when he drops hints about pulling the plug on IG. He may just be reacting, whether consciously or not, to that phenomenon.

      Can't rule out retirement, though. The channel can't be earning him much. I bet he'll at least finish the unfinished episode, if only to make a futile attempt to monetize it. Maybe it'll be a bonus on the last DVD collection.

  10. If the Irate Gamer really does end soon, would that mean we could see a top 10 worst moments ever from him? Not just of the year, but of all time.

    1. I think maybe a top 50 would be more fitting for worst moments of all time.

      But knowing Bores, he could confuse "retirement" with "hiatus" again...

    2. Could be! Don't forget that his English is pretty terrible.
      ^-^
