When All You Have Left is Shilling Crappy Arcade Cabinets

We’ve got one hell of a video today. A near 13 minute pile of shilling crap, regurgitated from Puppet Steve.
Bores looks at one of those $350 arcade cabinets from Arcade1Up that are a complete waste of money as you can play these games elsewhere.
Specifically, he looks at the one that offers Asteroids, Major Havoc, Lunar Lander, and Tempest in one machine. Normally I’m all about supporting official releases, but over $300 for four really old titles… yeah go MAME if you really want that.
I should mention that there was a commercial for these Arcade cabinets that showed off various shills and appearances on daytime talk shows, and one such shill was Puppet Steve. So for a brief moment, he was in a YouTube commercial. It's gone now.

Let’s dig in.

He continues claiming he got exclusive coverage (he really should learn what that word means). Then he calls himself a “YouTube influencer”. Holy crap an actually funny joke! … Oh wait he was serious? Chris the only thing you influence is how NOT to make a gaming review show, how NOT to run a YouTube channel, and how NOT to handle drama.
He gushes over the fact it has a start-up screen. … This is the content.
“I’m sure everyone bought the Street Fighter one” No they didn’t. Again, these things are expensive.
States he’s not a Street Fighter fan. You’re not a video game fan period, I think we’ve long established that.
He then claims he’s a huge fan of Tempest. You’re going to see why that’s a big lie.
The way he keeps hitting the cabinet indicates it’s not made of a solid material. I can hear hollow thwacking.
Calls his room his “little game dungeon” with an “Avengers corner” with a bunch of comic book statues. How much did those statues cost Chris? Surely that money could have gone towards continuing Irate Gamer since before you said it was too expensive to keep going. It’s almost like you’re a massive pathological liar.

He describes the appearance of the machine. There’s no script is there?
He says he’s not familiar with Lunar Lander and Major Havoc.
Continues saying he only got the cabinet for Tempest. Claiming he played it all the time as a kid. Riiiiiiiight…
“You toggle that with this little toggle button” Oh my god…
“I’m sure with the other consoles- with the other cabinets” What’s weird is that this video is edited. There’s cuts and everything. Yet he’s leaving in clear mistakes, points where he should of said “I messed that up, I need to do another take”. So, no script, no effort, just pure shilling. I’m only 3 minutes in.

“You can’t play Tempest without this knob” Sure you can, just readjust the controls
Starts with Tempest, once again reminding us it’s his favorite. Jeeeeez
“It actually saves your high scores” WOW SO INNOVATIVE! Who would care about that?
He plays… and yeah he’s pretty terrible. He just keeps mashing the button, and dies really early. This is why I said he was lying earlier. I doubt he’s played this game at all.
Says the emulation is good because “people asked”, says the control is tight, but then claims the original had a roller ball. But you said earlier it was the knob. Editing Chris!
Then says he doesn’t have a problem with the controls. Gotta get those shill bucks.

Moves onto Asteroids. Calls it the most popular game on this console, then says to himself that it’s not a console. Were you on something when you recorded this?
Now here’s really weird cut. He tries to say that the games are all vector graphics, but in the middle of “graphics”, it cuts and you hear him say “games”. What happened here? How did you not notice this?
Then he says he doesn’t know how long he wants the audience to watch him play, as it would get boring. Well it’s already boring because it’s you Chris. But even then, why would you include that line? Do you have any idea what you were doing here?
He dies, let’s out an exaggerated “oh come on”, then look at the camera and says “crap like that takes me bbipjfoijfp;k” No joke, he just kind slurs the last part. Are you drunk?

Moves onto Major Havoc.
Claims the graphics are “a lot more advanced”. No not really, it’s still vector graphics.
Because he doesn’t know the game, he can’t say if it’s the same. Maybe you should have done some RESEARCH. I know you’re allergic to it and all but come on.
Boring gameplay… boring gameplay…
At one point it just cuts to black. Did he forget something here?
He also seems to fast-forward at points. I could be wrong.

Moves onto Lunar Lander
“I don’t know how to play this and what the point is” *looks at title* Gee, I wonder what the point of this game is.
He definitely fast forwards here. Dies once and gives up.

He’s done with these games. Yet somehow there’s still four more minutes of video. Hoo boy…
He shows a flier he got with the other cabinets. He gushes over the fact it’s labeled “Series One”, meaning there’s more in the works. More wastes of money.
And then some not-so-humble bragging about how he’s on good terms with someone at the company. But he clearly can’t remember who because he’s not sure if they’re a PR person or the fucking CEO. See, this feels like a lie. A gigantic can’t get your story straight lie.
He “confirms” Series Two is happening (not a shock), and that he told him that “lots of people” (aka just you) would love Ninja Turtles. That’s not going to happen, it’s a massive web of rights issues that this company more than likely doesn’t want to deal with.
“He didn’t come out and confirm it, but he did say they’re working on it”. That sounds more like a white lie to get you to go away. Something a parent tells their kid when they’re being annoying.
Then… at the 10 minute mark, three green circles show up out of nowhere. I have no idea why they showed up, I don’t think Chris ever mentions them. They’re just there. Did Chris also edit this while drunk? I mean he sounds drunk in the video but behind the scenes…
He also want the Simpsons arcade game. Again, far too many rights issues. Come on!
He claims they have enough pre-sales to sell out by November. I have trouble believing that. Chris, why don’t you mention the price?
He then brings up that these cabinets are hackable. Okay… pretty sure anyone that would want to do something like that has better tools for it. Why are you bringing this up?
He claims that they’re going to be even harder to find once “the hackers” open it up. You mean like how the PSP was harder to find when they broke it? Oh wait…

He brings up how the cabinets have different control configurations depending on the game. Like the Centipede one has a roller ball (or trackball)  but he clearly struggles trying to remember the name. Yeah it’s this moment that really makes me think he’s drunk, or on something. You couldn’t script this?
Claims there’s a secret cabinet. That’s dumb.
Still wants a TMNT cabinet. It won’t happen!
He also wants Gauntlet Legends. Weird…

And then some more delusion. He claims that Arcade1up will be looking at the comments of this video for suggestions. There’s barely any views on this, I don’t think anyone cares.

How much do these cost Chris? At no point did you mention the price. This was some terrible shilling. What a mess of a video.

What are you even trying to accomplish Chris? What is the goal of “Chris Neo”? It’s clear to me that you have no idea what you’re doing, or what you want. You’re not even scripting things, or even properly editing them. You leave in mistakes and the whole thing comes off as unprofessional.
Either give up, or quit Puppet Steve and focus on this. But then again, Puppet Steve has given you over 400k subscribers, a goal you never got close to with Irate Gamer. That’s a lot of dumb kids.

The delusion continues over on Facebook as he says he talked to a TV executive about putting his ghost crap on TV. Chris… give that up. You’re not going to get your stupid paranormal shit on TV, and by some miracle you do it’s going to be on some channel that barely gets viewers. Nobody bought your book, nobody bought your Haunted Investigators or Pursuit of the Paranormal, nobody cares.

Over on Puppet Steve, he recently did a video on Fortnite. Well, a plushie of the Loot Llama. Bravo Chris, coming into Fortnite MONTHS late. Chris really knows how to strike the iron while it’s hot. Just like his Thanos video a month after Infinity War came out.
Also some more FNAF cereal. I will never understand his obsession with cereal.

That’s it for me. Enjoy yourselves everyone.

  1. His high on Tempest seems a bit low for someone who is a huge fan of the game. You could excuse that by saying he didn't play much of it before filming the review but that brings us to another recurring problem with Chris' reviews. He flaps his gums about products he is not very familiar with.

    The spinner knob is very clearly sticking and yet Chris glosses over this.

    I was not a huge fan of Tempest and I did not play it very much but it looks like he is holding the spinner knob in an awkward manner. It has been many years since I have played a Tempest arcade machine but I feel I was able to rest the base of my hand comfortably on the machine and manipulate the spinner easily. Can somebody else chime in on this? This could be fuzzy memory on my part and I don't want to criticize him unfairly.

    By the way, Chris is claiming that paranormal TV show he discussed with an "executive" could impact the UFO community.

    Does this "breakthrough" Chris made over the summer involve UFOs?

  3. No video for the 17th, and it stands out. Even though he accomplishes it by shameful skimping on content, you gotta give him some credit for sheer volume.

  4. "Normally I’m all about supporting official releases, but over $300 for four really old titles… yeah go MAME if you really want that."

    I disagree. This is an arcade cabinet that emulates the arcade experience, not a compilation that was released on a console. It could be cheaper, but still less expensive than an actual arcade cabinet, not to mention it saves more space. Yes, there is MAME, but not everyone wants to go the illegal route.

  6. Random cuts, black screens, behavior comparable to intoxication... Oh no! That isn't Tempest, it's Polybius! That'd certainly explain his inexplicable enthusiasm for it, since it's addictive to the point of mind control.

  7. Yeah, so his new scam is artificially lengthening his videos by tacking an earlier video onto the end of a new one, maximizing view-seconds or whatever YouTube measures. I believe he's done it before, but it's a firm pattern now.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Are they earlier videos? Chris is definitely cramming two videos in each upload but from the couple I looked at they seemed to be new (unless the second videos are from a really long time ago; I didn't look that far back).

      YouTube's current algorithm favors longer videos. When people spend more time watching a single video the content creator benefits. Looks like Chris is taking the lazy way out.

    4. @Harrod Oh, indeed? Then yeah, Chris is just being lazy but still wants to benefit from longer videos.

      Delete
    5. He may not be badly hurting anyone, but it creates a false appearance that his videos feature more information than they do, when in fact the back end is padded with old content that his fans have already sat through and which is no longer timely (if, coming from Bores, it was ever particularly timely).

      Delete
    6. @MacDragard It is not the worst thing that Chris has ever done but it highlights how lazy he really is. YouTube's monetization algorithm favors longer videos? Fine, most creators simply produce longer videos. Chris is taking older videos from months ago and tacking them on to new videos to pad their length. I am not aware of successful YouTubers who do this but then again I do not watch the biggest stars on that site.

      Delete
  8. Man. I was almost ready to give him credit for today's Project Zorgo video for actually trying something a little different, but a couple minutes in it's another toy commercial, and the dipwad seems to believe that your website being hacked means that the hackers are physically sneaking around inside your house. This may call for its own article, Dan.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Well, the "hacker" did claim he was raiding the house but it is not clear why a home invader would take off his shoes. It's a dumb skit but at least it's more than simply dangling toys in front of the camera and saying "cool!". Also better than cramming older episodes at the end just to pad the total length.

      One of the kids in the comments section asked Puppet Steve if the channel was really hacked.

      Delete
    2. I guess it's admirable that he's trying to do more storyline than wiggling dolls back and forth, but it's hard not to see this cynically. It feels like an attempt to attach his wagon to Zorgo's theater and pick up some views from people searching "Zorgo."

      Delete
    3. That may well be; I have never heard of Zorgo before this video. Knowing Chris, he absolutely is trying to cash in on the popularity of others.

  9. OT: New Halloween movie was pretty good. I've only seen the original and I heard that's all I need to see because this movie pretends all the sequels don't exist (and the sequels are crap anyways). I still of course prefer the original because it was a simple low-budget independent film that just worked really well.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. so you've only seen the first but already declare the non-canon sequels crap? Sounds like some shit Bores would do. While the sequels aren't oscar worthy movies, they aren't all bad. 2 was good, 3's a cult classic. 4-6 tried, but over explained. H2O is considered one of the "best" sequels in the franchise...and Resurrection..well yeah that was pretty shit..although I'll give it credit for doing the internet thing before it was really popular...it probably would've fared better in the late aughts/early 10's when the internet was really into streaming.

      Delete
    2. Honestly I don't care for horror movies, although I watched the first Halloween years ago because James Rolfe made it sound interesting. I didn't bother to watch the sequels although I heard the 2nd and 3rd were good and everything after just got worse and worse, so I didn't bother.

    1. They've done this with Star Wars movies before, where mostly amateurs pitch in and remake 15-second-or-so chunks of a film, then they're assembled into a weird collage evoking the original.

      With that said, it occurred to me that there were parts of the video where we could apply previous criticisms of Chris Bores. Namely extremely brief game reviews.

      These cases are apples and oranges though. For one thing, James could at least recognize that Dangerous Streets is a fighting game - something that Chris could not do with Tekken 6.

    3. I think Chris Neo was a big event- the core subject of this blog once again returned from the grave, and once again dribbled away to nothing; covering and discussing that is exactly what we do. As for other actions, he made four Letter People videos, introducing in the process zero new letters he hadn't covered before; if there were any fans of the alphabet videos when he started making them, they're now reading on their own volition, having learned elsewhere.

      Maybe we can give him a pass on the Shrek video since he didn't brag about or promote it that we've seen, but his alternately paranoid and grandiose posts about his critics hacking him and an amazing breakthrough in ghost technology are, I thought, a weird new low for him.

    Nothing offensive but here are some thoughts (and i have no clue about what he is talking about as I have been wrapped up in stuff for a bit) 1 nice of him to send "thoughts and prayers" to something going on, but it's odd how he picks and chooses, I'm guessing this post has something to do with his interest in conspiracy bs. 2howbmany fans can he gave in France? It's like hes trying to be like hey I have fans everywhere and a reminder that he's an internet "celebrity". Subtler and nnot not bad since it won't generate that sweet sweet ad revenue, but shades of his Nemoy tribute vid.

    2. If memory serves, Chris got a lot of flak over his comments about Emma Gonzalez a while back. The riots in Paris are a fairly safe way for him to offer his thoughts and keep the illusion that his profile is still alive.

      That said, who exactly does Chris pray to? I recall him once saying that he identifies as a Buddhist but his statements and actions have not been consistent with Buddhism. Perhaps he subscribes to a mix of different religions like he pulls his ghost hunting methods from a mixture of different sources? In that case, how does the right deity know when to listen to a prayer from Chris?

    3. Here is the best way I can describe it...he probably like the idea of being a Buddhist but doesn't actually follow any aspects of it. It's one of those "in name only" situations but that's just my thoughts on it.

    4. Chris did turn out to be right about Jew Wario though, who know that guy was such a sick fuck?

  46. Well, gang, we sometimes give Bores the business for not being on the cutting edge of video gaming trends, but at least the newest Puppet Steve video shows us a cool trick in 'Galaga' to get two adjacent ships firing at the same time.

    1. That's amazing, and funny how I thought if they ever made a Home Alone remake that MC would be in the movie and he'd either be the pizza guy from little nero's or Marv.

    2. Isn't the Soulja Boy console just a Chinese gizmo that runs emulators?

  51. A fb post from Bore-esssNeo from @ 45 minutes ago, claiming his views dropped in 2012 due to him not wanting to join machinama, and this lead to his "retirement":
    This is such BS. So this is the fallout of him not wanting to join with Disney or any other platforms? There is one thing I never talked about publically before because I couldn't understand what happened and I didn't exactly believe it myself, but after hearing about it happen to so many others, I saw the writing on the wall. In 2012, Machinima tried very hard for 3 months to get me to join them. After I finally said no its not for me, the very next week, I saw my channel plummet in views, my ad revenue was cut drastically and never bouned back. Ultimately I was forced to retire. In fact, you can look at charts from that year and see the exact moment when that happened. When I tried calling them back, interestingly enough, the phone number sent me to YouTube. I found out that Machinima was a subsection of Youtube and they had an office in their building from the beginning. It was a very eye opening experience. So be careful out there gamers, there are groups within YouTube that determined the fate of which gaming channels flurish on their platform.

    1. That is typical BS from Bore-ess. Notice he never mentioned Machinima in his Opening Up video but blamed them years later for his channel's demise. I looked up Dan's year end list for 2012 on this very blog and Chris uploaded a whopping two Irate Gamer videos that year (Silver Surfer, X-Men). 8 IG Neo videos (one with stolen footage). 4 80's videos and one HoVG video. Add in three movie rants and that is a total of 16 videos. Then there were 47 videos of poor E3 coverage, bad sketces, Skylanders stuff, contest and similar nonsense.

      Chris either cannot see the truth or is unwilling to admit that the low level content he put out in 2012 was by far the biggest factor for his drop in reviews. He was forced to retire ... in 2016? Four years after he claims Machinima ruined him? As I recall, Chris finished his "movie", did a fifth season of Irate Gamer and even joined a new MCN which required him to upload 3 videos per week. He retired with the Duck Hunt video which was originally billed as the season 6 premiere but later described as his finale.

    2. Oh, and in the comments section Chris complains about how the big gaming sites found out that E3 was a big cash cow with exclusives ... in the year 2010. As if they did not use E3 as an opportunity for exclusive articles from 1995 to 2009.

      For the record, my site has a team that goes to E3 every year and always manages to get gameplay footage and interviews.

    3. I just read the article he posted and it had nothing to do with machinima or any of the other stuff Chris is bitching about

  52. The "him" near the start of the post is referring to PewDiePie

  53. Boring Man posted on Facebook last night looking for song creators to create music for his content. He really should just hire a guitarist to write him a theme song. Or he could steal a song from a site.

  54. You're still obsessively following IG like a creepy stalker? Dear god you need to get a life so fucking bad.

    Also the way you mock Chris makes you come off as ableist, some of the opinions you mock him for having are just baffling(actually liking the Tomb Raider reboot? no way anyone could possible do that! except for tons of fans and critics).

    Man I wish someone like Moviebob would mock your dumb ass on Twitter.

    3. What makes you think I'm a neo-Nazi? Also, I'm apathetic towards politics.

    4. Apathetic? So in other words you are a straight white male who does not give a rats ass about anybody but yourself? Good to know, classic white privilege.

      Sounds like you need to start following Michael Harriot of The Root and Propane Jane, then maybe you'll realize how pathetic you sound:

    6. nah my week's been pretty good, i'm just disturbed at how this BatDan guy is still cool with using ableist language like "Retarded" and "Spastic", kinda reminds me of the bullies I encountered in grade-school that picked on my just for having mental issues. So a lot of the time at least for me, BatDan sounds less like he's genuinely concerned about IG being a "Fraud" or whatever and just enjoys acting like a bully towards him(seriously who the fuck cares if Chris pronounces some words in a weird way? AVGN of all people would agree with Chris on that, he did a whole "You Know What's Bullshit" Episode on how annoyed he gets at certain word pronunciations, either ones he feels make no sense or how annoyed he gets at how people feel to constantly correct him on how he pronounces certain words like "Bury").

      Also he seems to treat his own opinions as facts(I.E. acting like it's literally impossible for ANYONE to actually enjoy Captain N, when people like Moviebob have actually defended that show and done a pretty good job of it).

      Also no BatDan, people who actually like Adam Sandler films are not morons, comedy is subjective(Yes I find IG funny, go ahead and mock me for it and call me a retard or whatever, it'll prove my point about you getting off on acting like a bully).

    7. At least Batdan never mocks Bores when a member of his family passed away.

    8. You talking about Jew Wario? I was pissed at Chris for that until I learned what a horrible person JW really was earlier this year.

    9. @Venom, that doesn't vindicate Chris' comments. Religious people don't talk that way.

      Delete
  55. Well, since there's absolutely NOTHING else going on around the Chris front, I went out and saw Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse on Xmas Day.

    Verdict: YES, IT REALLY IS THAT GOOD!
