I'm sorry

Uggggh, what's the date? March 14th?! Where did the time go?!
Oh god so much Puppet Steve, and I imagine it's mostly the same crap. Chris is so lazy, and "safe", meaning that he won't try anything new. I can just tell it's all the same, it's always been for months. Do kids really like seeing the same thing over and over?
What has he posted? More Powerpuff Girls 2016. I don't think that show's doing well, Cartoon Network isn't spamming it like they do with Teen Titans Go and Gumball. I wouldn't be surprised if it goes off the air soon. Then again if morons like Chris keep buying the toys, it will probably last.
A look at the Sonic set in Lego Dimensions, wow you are late! That came out in November, what the fuck have you been doing?
Then I looked ahead and saw him reviewing Mario Kart 8 Happy Meal Toys. How desperate are you? This is the worst tie-in ever since he's only doing this for the release of the Switch. What makes this even worse is that these are OLD, as in 2014! WHAT THE HELL?! Why do you think anyone wants to watch you play with 3 year old toys that do nothing?! How dumb are you Chris? Then again, being late to the party has always been a thing for him.
Also, Zombie Steve is wearing red now. Because "he needed a new shirt" according to the comments. You are so retarded Chris.

So yeah... I've really got nothing. I'm sorry.
Been busy with work, and Zelda, and just life in general. You know how it is?
Chris really isn't giving me anything, he seems content vomiting the same content as long as it gets him views from stupid six year olds. Completely cynical and soulless, no effort at all. Just... why?

  4. Just a bit OT: Life can be really bizarre at times. Like there are stretches of time where you have nothing going on and just getting away from boredom everyday.

    Then the next few weeks or so feels like one of the busiest moments of your life. Things to do, deadlines to meet, that sort of thing.

    Sorry, I'm just rambling at this point now. :/ Yeah, I'm going into that busy phase. University is going to start, and my 2-year conscription is coming to an end.

    1. To add on more off-topic, I want to ask you guys: Do you think Konami can get back into the gaming industry, like bring their A-game (pun totally intended)? These past few years has been turbulent for their gaming department (the pachinko dept. is going well though, to my knowledge).

      Their older games like Contra and Gradius (I grew up with the SNES, so the NES ones are not as memorable to me) have been quite fun for me. I have never tried Metal Gear Solid before though.

      Delete
    2. The advent of a sudden Bomberman revival seems like a fairly decent attempt. Although many still believe that even if Konami were to jump back into the gaming wagon, their long-built trust has crumbled for good. But as times change and management changes hands, there could still be a turn around. We must wait.

      Also as a major MGS fan, I would recommend virtually any installment in the series. Cracking good gaming. Except, erm, maybe Metal Gear Solid 2.

  11. I told someone on my YouTube channel about Puppet Steve, and this is what he said:

    Oh...My....God.... I didn't know. I had no idea. Soooo, first he ripped off AVGN, and now it looks like he's ripping off Jim Henson? He's ripping off Sesame Street and the Muppet Show. Wow. I can't believe it. He's got like 100 videos up and it looks like he's only been doing it for like 6 months. And, his channel just so happens to have "Minecraft" in the title. Gee, let me guess, he's trying to hop on that band wagon 5 years too late. This is incredible. Thanks for taking the time to link that...

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. And I mentioned this before, but he's ripping off PBC Productions member Lindsey "Z" Briggs as well, since she's known to do both game reviews and puppetry. Except she does a far better job at both than Boring Man ever could.

    2. Ripping off Jim Henson? That's a bit of a stretch.

  12. Just think...

    2 years ago, Chris was trying to work out that schedule that he set up. That was back when he had effort. Back when he actually still tried with his videos, even though they always came up sub-par.

    1. Honestly, I think Chris couldn't care less about his IG garbage at this point. He's way too focused on his new garbage. As long as James doesn't do anything involving puppets, Chris more than likely won't care what he does.

      Delete
    2. At this point, I don't know. Seeing how he's focused on PUBTA Steve...

      But yes, I LOVED the new episode. Much better than the crossover with Keith Apicary...

      Delete
    3. hahaha I haven't watched the new AVGN yet but when I got home and saw it in my subs, my first thought was YAY! new AVGN. then: oh that explains why James got caught up on MMPR and made that video a few weeks ago, the third was: he is ripping of IG

      Delete
    4. I kind of thought that James might have been trolling Bores with the progressively getting angrier bit, but I doubt James would do that especially since several years have passed. Not that it would matter since Bores probably won't see it, seeing as how he's given up on anything having to do with video games.

      Delete
    5. I'm surprised James didn't show as much anger to the MMPR Sega CD game, considering how horrible its reputation is. But yeah, MMPR: The Movie on Game Boy does look awful.

  29. New Puppet Steve video: "Smurfs The Lost Village Movie Action Figures Gift Pack Schleich Unboxing Review Papa, Brainy, Lazy". Well, the "Lazy" part of the title is accurate.

  30. I agree that it may be time for this blog to take a cue from Chris and go into "semi-retirement".

    If Chris does something stupid like release another book then Dan can always come back and update the blog.

    It is clear that Dan doesn't really want to cover Puppet Steve and there isn't really a need to cover it, in my opinion. The episodes are beyond formulaic and if you've seen one, you've seen nearly all of them.

    Take a break, Dan. You've earned it.

    ReplyDelete
  31. So... perhaps the next post will be a top 50 list of worst IG/Bores moments of all time? Afterwards, I think you deserve a long break, Dan. As many others have said covering Irate Gamer is fun, but Puppet Steve, not so much.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Of course its entirely up to BatDan what he does with this blog, but since he allows us to put our two cents in, I will concur about the list part, and add this: Maybe/hopefully he will do some list thingies in "honor" of IG's upcoming tenth anniversary near the end of April. And as far as ending the blog goes, I think it has some life in it. I would love to see it do some "final" breakdown on Bores years on the Channel Formerly Known As IrateGamer. That could in parts come in the form of lists. But I'm thinking that there are so many aspects of Bores IG career years that the blog could go on for a good while. He had so many things he tried to do on that channel (IG, IGN,I80s, box wars, movie reviews (he even briefly gave them their own title "Irate Cinema"), box wars, book reviews, Road Trip, Box Wars, Tech Reviews, motherfucking fuck fuck fucking Skyfuckinglanders, etc) (edit: how could I have forgotten HOVG) I think a good list type idea would be ranking his series or video types in order of worst to best. How about top ten moments of his "war" with AVGN? (Maybe a final post that is like a timeline of the events of it, though I guess that video that Ben fellow did on the IG opens up video covered that pretty thoroughly perhaps). Hell, I know this would be very pretentious of him, but I think BD/the blog deserves its own best of list (top 2 to me would be getting Ralph Baer to watch/opine on that HOVG episode and breaking the news on Pubta). And who knows, maybe that blockhead puppet and its string puller will do something interesting or that will keep this blog going. The year end list is sure gonna be different this year, that's for sure.

      Delete
    2. I have a feeling that if the blog ends, Bores will think: "Now there's nobody to make fun of me anymore! Back to Irate Gamer!" and he'll make a video out of nowhere or something. You know, just to mess with BatDan. Knowing Bores, he would do that. Sure, he doesn't care about video games anymore, but I bet he would just love to "get back" at the blog.

      Delete
    3. I would be willing to do a worst moments list but I don't want to steal BatDan's thunder if he is going to do one.

    3. Yeah, Xianc, you think he would have at least mentioned it on his Facebook. In a way it was nice of Chris to appear in some obscure YTer's video, but you think he would have went that extra inch and let people know about it to give the guy some exposure.

      My guess is that Chris didn't want to pay full price for the new movie toys whereas the ones he showed can be found in clearance bins.

    4. I know this is a stretch, but I wish Pubta would do some retro games. I'm not sure how he could do it and make sense (not that making sense has stopped some of Bores' other "creative" endeavors), but I think Pubta should have some sort of retro corner type segment (or 2 to 4 minute video I guess). Think,"hey kids Pubta Steve here!! You know those (insert old franchise that is still popular or came back and is successful with kids) you all love? Well,after doing some research, I've learned something that will flip some emoji poop!! The(franchise/toy thing) was something your mommy or daddy may have played with when they were your age!!!! This could lead to showing old video games based on licensed properties like TMNT, Ghostbusters, etc.

  45. OT what are your thoughts on the new Power Rangers movie?

    I hear a lot of good reviews, but for all the wrong reasons in my opinion. A lot of people like it because it's some deep complicated story about troubled teens. That's fine on its own, but this is Power Rangers we're talking about. There are just some things you should not make into this deep dark complicated story. Sure it worked with Batman, maybe with Ninja Turtles. I would have liked to have a movie where the teens were these great role models who did martial arts at Ernie's Juice Bar and have the antics of Bulk and Skull, and then fight putties and the monster of the day. Maybe the movie makers wanted to make a Neon Genesis Evangelion movie but couldn't get the rights so they did Power Rangers instead.

  47. New Puppet Steve video on toys for Shimmer and Shine, which is a show on Nick Jr.

  48. I'm working on compiling a list of the videos Bores has deleted. I completed (for now, can't be sure I got everything)the years 2007 and 2008, and posted it on my blog, if anyone is interested in looking. Many thanks to BatDan, I wouldn't have been able to compile it without your blog.

    4. Ganstalizard, he didn't upload any videos on his Irate Gamer channel today. He did upload a Puppet Steve video anyway, "ROBLOX Series 1 Single Figures Game Packs minecraft (Mr Bling, Lord Umberhallow, Dusek) Unboxing", and it's the same as usual.

      Delete
    5. Gotta love those word salad titles.

      If Bores really did a video on the Legend of Zelda, he'd probably spend the first two minutes bitching about how the game is called "The Legend of Zelda", but the main character's name is Link. He'd say that it would be like calling Super Mario Bros. Super Princess Peach Bros. He'd probably also use the drunk Link bit again.

      Delete
    6. He'd also put in a bunch of clips from the CD-i games. Because, you know, THAT meme isn't totally overdone and dead today.

      And how many total views does IG have?

    2. In hindsight, no, but it was just for curiosity's sake. :D

      (checks) About 80 million.

      But still, congrats to James! He definitely deserves those views.

    3. Bores was really close to 100 million before he deleted all those videos and views.

    1. He took the Patreon money, moved to another state and bought a house. Then he wrote that something in his head was preventing him from creating content.

      As noted above, he has been very active on Twitter.

    1. Don't worry, I'm pretty sure he won't know what it is. If he covers it on Puppet Bores,IDK.

    2. I don't know, he did a video on South Park and Rick and Morty figures. He doesn't have a target audience with this channel. All he cares about is money. So if someone pays him to look at it, he'll do it without a second thought.

      But I really hope no one does. I can't imagine what stupid jokes he would try to tell with Bojack Horseman. YOU'RE NOT WORTHY OF THAT SHOW, DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT.

    3. But Bores IS willing to milk FNAF and Minecraft to death on his new channel, and his fans will probably move on once those fads die (especially the former).

  53. Back in '07, I began a not-successful YouTube show

    I'm Christopher the Bores (Goddamn)

    What the hell was I thinkin' bro?

    When you pretend to be an artist, yeah, it's hard to play it safe

    That show stumbled hard right out the starting gate

    Wonder if I'm ever gonna get another chance

    Maybe a puppet show at best

    Yeah I'm not a Bores, I'm a bore

  54. I know it's been pretty quiet here on the blog, but I just thought I'd address the newest Puppet Steve video. "Puppa Steve" looks at "Bootleg" FNAF figures. So either Chris is looking at illegal toys, or he has no idea what "bootleg" means.

    This seems to be the closest that Chris has come to doing an actual review on this channel since he actually points out flaws with the toys and how they look almost nothing like the FNAF characters. But it still fails, as he throws in out-of-nowhere positive comments at the end. "Even though they could've been made a little bit better, this is the best way to do that."...How? These figures are clearly very poorly made. He even says they're "cheaply made" in the video. I guess because "I can't be really negative or I won't make money." I don't know, I guess it's somewhat of a step up from the other videos since he actually attempts a review, but it's still terrible. And the jokes are horrible, like always.

    Also, the only reason I even watched the video is because he put "bootleg" in the title. I was legitimately curious to see if Chris was reviewing something illegal.

    1. I know this has been said before if I remember correctly, but Pubta is basically a bootleg Minecraft puppet, how appropriate that he would review bootleg toys from another game

  55. At least we can savor the irony of low quality knockoff toys reviewed by a man who is himself a low quality knockoff.

  56. Um guys? I just browse through YouTube this morning and I discover that almost all of the channels I've subscribed to have their avatar crashed, and only a few that still has their avatar intact!

    3. A worst moments of all time list would be good for the tenth anniversary of IG.

      Delete
    4. of course lots of us want to see some kind of list(s), and some of what I am about to spew have been spewed before, but: Its obviously up to BatDan what he wants to do with this (and this applies to list askers and those thinking the blog should end) blog, and maybe he thinks do a worst of list would be just cannibalizing his year end lists. On that note, I looked through his year end lists, and added a few that were not listed, for examples of what I would considered his actual worst (as in actions or things in his videos that could be construed as unethical/insensitive/hypocritical, not bad jokes/misinformation/etc) and came up with 16 of these kind moments (though maybe some of these could fit into one general entry). And add obligatory "multiple lists" comment since there are so many aspects to Bores exploits over the last ten years. And here is one reason the blog should continue to exist: For all the talk about Pubta being irrelevant/a possible fad with a short shelf life/or whatever, it is actually quite popular and therefore relevant on some level. Maybe its good for Batdan to once a month make a report on the misinformation in the videos. And if it is just a fad that crashes, it would be worth chronicling that. It is also interesting, because there is still a level of mystery to Steve, I think it is only a relatively small group that knows its Bores, despite him making some small nods. The only other entertainment type thing I can think of that was able to maintain that kind of hidden identity is the weirdo avante garde band The Residents.

      3. Chris talks about the remote location then Scottie receives a package he ordered from Amazon.com.

      That's where I live. I'm sure Bores would make it all about the Simpsons. (And there is a power plant here.) Nothing about Abraham Lincoln or other things Springfield is known for. Like a food called the horseshoe (Google it). Then again, he might include that considering his obsession with food.
