We Are Off the Deep End into Tinfoil City

I imagine the lockdown is making a lot of us stir-crazy. As long as we stay vigilant, protect ourselves, clean ourselves, we'll be fine.
In Chris' case though, I think he's far too gone now. Especially if the new video posted on "Da Gost Docta" is anything to go by.

Yesterday he posted, and I am not making up this title, "WOKE Paranormal - Satanist Pop Culture Will Bring A Paranormal Pandemic (Ghost Doctor Exclusive)". Everything about that is a massive crimson-deep red flag. Also, really poor taste to bring up an "oncoming pandemic" when we're in the middle of one right now.

And yes, he is purposely invoking the COVID pandemic as the video shows footage from what I presume is an "anti-stay at home" protest.
He then claims that people that didn't believe in the paranormal, had paranormal encounters and they're coming to him. Already starting with the lies.

Chris is concerned about the rise of secularism, or rather, the rise of satanism. Wow! Not even a minute in and we're going hard.
He claims he's "not taking this lightly" because it's seeping into pop culture. His first example is the TV series Lucifer. Oh no... is Chris a fundie now?
His second example is Christian Bale thanking Satan at the Golden Globes. ... Pretty sure that was a fucking joke. Especially since he got it for playing Dick Cheney, a man that is notoriously corrupt and helped push us into an unwinnable war that killed thousands.
Then he shows a clip of Lady Gaga saying "I swear to Lucifer". Again, that's a joke. Honestly, I shouldn't be surprised that someone as dull & unfunny as Chris doesn't understand the concept of jokes.

Let's stop for a second. For those that don't know, secularism is the idea that religion should not be part of a state or country-wide system. I.E. the separation of church and state. That doesn't mean people are looking towards "satanism". It more likely means that people are tired of the corruption of organized religion, especially young people that see a lot of it as fraudulent and unhelpful. Especially LGBT teens that get beaten or worse because their religion tells them their existence is "wrong".

Continuing on, he shows a clip of Anderson Cooper making a "demon face" that he claims he can't make. It's almost like Anderson Cooper is a trained TV journalist that knows how to change his face, and you barely have any experience despite doing YouTube for over a decade (somehow). Or you know, we could get the original context of that clip and see who or what Cooper was listening to. But noooo, that would destroy Chris' already flimsy argument.

Then he brings up "realities breaking down" ... What?
Then he brings up talk show hosts that will sometimes blink like they're... oh no. Like they're reptilian. Here we go, here we fucking go! Right into lizard people! Way to destroy any ounce of credibility you possibly tried to build Chris. This is laughable, you can't just go from Satanism to reptilians. You sound like a crazy person.

Then his "friends" asked "why is everyone saying you're racist" or "you're sexist because you don't want girl Ghostbusters". Really? You're still hung up on that shit? It's over, they 're not doing anymore of that incarnation of Ghostbusters.
Anyway, the whole "you're racist" thing isn't due to the "mainstream media', but more-so social media exposing that everyone is awful and that maybe the comments you say out of ignorance shouldn't be posted online, and when you get called out maybe you shouldn't double down on your ignorance. I get the feeling Chris said something racist in public, got called out, and like a lot of morons, played the victim card because "wah wah wah, I can't say anything anymore". No, you can say whatever you want, but thanks to the internet, you should expect a backlash of some kind, no matter what you say. "I think Final Fantasy VII Remake is great" "Fuck you, it's an insult!" or "Tom Hanks is a great man and actor" "No, he's total piece of shit!" Though I worry about anyone that thinks about Tom Hanks like that.

Then he brings up the HBO Watchmen TV show that "pits whites vs blacks". Okay, I haven't seen the show yet so I asked my friend that did to understand what he's talking about, and they said "I have no idea". I know a certain subset of people were upset because it featured a black actress in a prominent role when the original Watchmen story didn't have any prominent black characters (the kid reading the pirate comic was like the only one). Also, looking back at your opinion on the show, you overreacted with "Makes me want to give up on Pop Culture". Yes, I made a slight joke about how you'll start ranting about "blacks and jews" because of the current climate, but it was right there on the table.

Turns out that was just the introduction to three reasons why a "paranormal pandemic" is going to happen and "bleed into the afterlife". Get something strong to drink, because this is going to hurt.

#1!
The abandonment of established religions. As I mentioned, younger people are seeing religion as fraudulent for a number of reasons. Their constant need for money, their demonizing of LGBT people, their contradictory view points on life, there's a lot of reasons for people to give up on organized religion.
He goes into what he thinks a "good religion" does. He chastises people that want to do what they want without following a religion, and it becomes "demonic". What?
"You don't have to worship Satan to be a Satanist"... Pretty sure you do.
No, it's because when you "align yourself with the negative vibrations" you get demonic or something. What is he talking about?

"And when we get into politics" *shows picture of Adam Schiff* Oh this will be fun.
He claims that most politicians are into Satanism, and if you don't believe that then you're blind. Okay, most politicians are indeed corrupt, but that doesn't make them Satanists. Oh right, I forgot we're going by his weird "bad vibrations" definition here.
Then he brings up his investigation of the Longwood Manor. Wasn't that an episode of Haunted Investigators? *checks* Oh yeah, it was. Like all his episodes, they didn't find a damn thing. Why is he addressing this now?
Oh, it's because the original owner of the home, William Few Long, became the mayor of Macedonia Ohio. Turns out he was totally into Satanism and child sacrifices. Whoa what? That's a big bomb to just casually drop. Do you have evidence of this? His evidence is "the house was full of nasty stuff" and lists some stuff that happened during his investigation like "someone getting pricked on the arm" or Alan getting sick. Ooooorr maybe it's an old abandoned house and it's all in your thick head. Rather insane leap to head straight to Satan.

Then he gets into his own religion, Buddhism. He brings up the "five poisons". Looking into that, it's part of the Mahayana tradition and doesn't represent every aspect of Buddhism. Funny enough, some of these poisons best represent him. Anger (yelling at me and his critics), Delusion (thinking he's the best "ghost behaviorist" and is better than the people on TV), Pride and Jealousy (see Delusion). Only one he doesn't represent is Craving, but I have no idea what that means in this context.
He brings up demonic people in YouTube videos... and cites the infamous video of the woman that screams "noooo" when Trump was sworn into office. A video that his supporters like passing around to show how "triggered the libs" really are.  Full mask off now aren't we?
"These people think they're doing the right thing, because in their own twisted and warped way they are" ... You do know you can apply that to yourself right? Not just people against you.
"They're out of touch, they don't care what you say" He says this while showing a picture of Adam Schiff. Is he implying that people standing against Trump are Satanists? Also, that's most politicians. Not just Schiff. May I introduce Mitch McConnell?
"Even if you protest against them, they'll just say 'Let them eat cake'" ... What? That's not what that phrase means.

Then he finally gets to the crux of his argument. That when they die, they won't go into the afterlife. They'll become "creatures". Then he shows a picture of Gollum. I couldn't stop laughing at that part. Holy shit this is even worse than his book. Also, Gollum isn't an undead spirit or something. He's a pitiful creature corrupted by the power of the One Ring, having lived for centuries holding on to his "precious". That is not the same thing.

Then he claims that the Grey Aliens aren't actually aliens, they're twisted people from the afterlife. What the... what. Is this a joke?
Aliens are more likely to exist than ghosts. Our universe is far too vast for human beings to be the sole intelligent life here.

Then he cites that clip from Ghost Adventures he posted on Facebook a few weeks back. The one that looked fake as hell. Because apparently, that's exactly what he's been talking about for years. Am I being trolled right now?

#2!
Materialism is overtaking spiritual growth. Hold on, is the creator of Puppet Steve going to lecture us on the horrors of materialism? The man with piles and piles of toys in his house that he's trying to SELL on eBay for MONEY?
He's calling out rich snobs for showing off their stuff on Twitter and social media and are gathering big followings for it. "Look at my Rolls Royce, look at my bling, look at my mansion". Hey kids, look at my Bendy figures, look at my FNAF toys, look at my Minecraft playsets. You're saying all this to an audience of over 673k subscribers. You don't get to make this argument.

This is bad because when you die you leave it all behind. ... No shit. Why do you think people call out old greedy billionaires? Their money isn't coming with them when they die.
This all leads into "hungry spirits" that don't want to pass on. Because the spirits he "talks" to- okay this is fucking dumb.
Then he claims that we have a problem in society where someone can go to an estate sale, buy a piece of furniture, and suddenly they're haunted. WHAT?! Again, is this a joke? How is it Chris is at his funniest when he's trying to be serious?
He concludes talking about "stuck spirits". This is so stupid.

#3! Finally, last one.
The growing "fear and ignorance" of the afterlife. What.
He then goes on about how our "ancestors" knew how to handle spirits, and that back in the day they had picnics at cemeteries. Why do you want that back? Are you trying hook up with some big titty goth girl? What is wrong with you?
He's upset we stay away from cemeteries. Of course we do! They're not "cool places" to hang out. Are you on drugs?
He brings up how old houses would be haunted, and their descendants would be cool with that. What is your basis in this? What is your evidence? Are you sure you're not taking your ideas from old movies?
He hates how people sell houses when someone dies and that the new owners will deal with the spirit. Here's a concept. Maybe people sell the house because our housing market is a complete trainwreck and want to get as much money out of it as they can.
Then he brings up how in Jewish culture, energy is stored in walls. Then when people remodeling a home tear down the walls, weird stuff happens. What drugs are you on?
"The walls start exhaling" Seriously, what drugs?
He claims he had to "cleanse" a lot of houses recently. Riiiight...
He claims it all builds up and other spirits come in and oh my god this is so dumb.
Apparently, "cleansing" is a lost artform, and the reason people are "suddenly angry" in their new house is that it wasn't cleansed. Oooorr there's an entirely different reason, likely financial because buying a house these days is a risky investment.

And those are his reasons for why there will be a "paranormal pandemic".

WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?
I think this is the real Chris Bores. The insane conspiratorial nutcase that he's only shown glimpses of before, but now here he is in all his glory. Holy shit!
This whole video came off like the ravings of a madman. Someone that doesn't deal in facts or logic, but in their own weird corrupted religious ideas or ideas of the past.
He's gone full Alex Jones. How long until he starts trying to eat his neighbors?

Hey Chris, how about taking your tinfoil wearing ass into the real world, and see where the real pandemic is happening. Everywhere!

I don't know if I'll cover more of these "Ghost Doctor" videos, but man this was a trip. Stay safe everyone.

  1. Our ancestors got along with spirits, now we get rid of them (for 50 bux a pop if bores is doing it/materialism contradiction), so we should get sling with them? Even though the beginning of his video implies that we're having a satanic supernatural pandemic. I'm confused. Also by bores pretending to be Satan in his videos in doing reviews of Ghostbusters isn't he also feeding into the media pop culture satanic pandemic?

  2. I think that may be the first time I've ever read batdan put down "WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?" and it could never have been more appropriate.

    Seems Bores has finally showed his true colors. Not a stupid gamer, or a toy shill, or a "ghost doctor" or what the fuck. Just some right-wing conspiratorial piece of shit with his head lodged firmly up his own ass.

  4. Anyone here heard of Rooster Teeth's "Achievement Haunter" series? I'm not really a Rooster Teeth fan, but my friend showed me an Achievement Haunter video once and it was fucking hilarious. The only time I've ever been entertained by a ghost hunting show. Chris only wishes he can make ghost hunting that entertaining.

  8. Nobody on this blog is going to read this (except for a certain Unknown user who, I believe, secretly has a crush on me... you know who you are), but I might as well say it.

    So basically being religious makes one a bad person? Yes, you have people like Ken Copeland with his weird COVID stuff and him buying a private jet because it was made so cheap, the problem is that certain people use that type of stuff to paint my people as evil or something. The truth is that the good mainstream Christendom has done, past and present, is ignored and nutcases and hucksters are propped up as emblematic. As such, Christianity (the institution some parties tend to interchange with the word "religion") is passed off as something inherently evil at worst, or a moral position at best (rather than as an intellectual one, which it serves as well). This leads to myths and libel about it being for idiots and it hurting the world. But let me just say this: I treat any attack on Christianity as an attack on me, as it's part of my background. The thing is most are terrified of delving deeper into the nuances thereof (language, anthropology, historical context, etc.) and just opt for a hyper-generalized facsimile of what it is.

    In regard to your bit about LGBT people and those claiming that their existence is wrong? Frankly, I don't give a shit what you do behind locked doors. As long as you aren't involving a kid in any sort of sexual activity and nobody gets hurt, I could care less. Live and let live. The Deuteronomic Laws regarding sexuality, if anything, seemed to have stemmed from the sociological climate of the ancient Near East: survival was the name of the game back then and honor was seen as a limited commodity, and there was no honor in a same-sex relationship. No, I don't hate anyone who's not straight, but I don't patronize them as victims or treat them as accessories either.

And yes, this is a personal attack o you, and no, no one gives a fuck what you think. ps, using big words to back up your point makes you look like the absolutely desperate for attention and credance cardboard cut out of a cunt that you are mate.

    2. You are as predictable as the sunrise, boy. Also, YOU seem to care; after all you sit around this page all day with absolutely no job or social life, waiting for me, and only me, to leave a remark. It's probably the only way you can be certain that you exist.

      Also, I'm sorry you have trouble comprehending words longer than four letters, but perhaps that's a sign your should have paid more attention in vocabulary, MATE!

    3. Of course a diaper wearing freak doesn't want people to care about what others do behind closed doors lol. I wonder how much honour you'd have got in the ancient near far east you dirty little twat.

      You should be nicer to me though, I'm the only person who responds to your stuff because whilst everyone else just brushes off what you say as the whiny, pathetic loser shite that it is - I bother to call you out for your crap, and you love it because you absolutely require attention.

    4. @Radio White Base: I mean the opening of this blog entry doesn't make a distinction, can you be entirely sure that BD wasn't just talking about Christians who think like Bores?

      @Unknown: Regardless of opinions I have on his comments, I don't know that him (supposedly) being a diaper lover merits misconduct on your part.

      If you just like doling out insults, well just seems strange to do so while acting morally superior to a person.

      Delete
    5. He does wear diapers and he admits that he's ashamed of it, yet he continues to wear them. You steam a good ham in saying that insults shouldn't bear a higher morality standing however it's just too perfect that he even knows it's a shameful thing to do and continues to do so anyway. If he wants to keep baiting me like a little cunt, he can be called out for his diaper loving. And you fuck right off out of it too you massive dickhead.

      Delete
    6. @Unknown: "he admits that he's ashamed of it,"

      I mean people do tend to feel guilty/embarassed even when they've done nothing wrong.

      Some would still to this day insist that:

      1. Adults shouldn't enjoy animation, comics and video games.

      2. That men and women shouldn't engage in hobbies/careers mention for the opposite gender.

      Do you consider either 1 and/or 2 to be shameful? I'm sure you don't, but some people who engage in activity deemed gender/age inappropriate still feel ashamed/embarrassed.

      Doesn't mean they did anything wrong.

      Delete
    7. Mate, we're talking about a grown 'man' wearing fucking diapers, not playing video games. I'll happily shame the little twat for doing that, and if he continues to write long, whiny posts that contribute nothing other than calling attention to himself then I'll call him out for it. Stop trying to defend him you weirdo, this ain't the cross you wanna die on. Radio Whine Base.

      Delete
    8. I don't intend to continue on, just had to say my piece is all.

      The diaper thing I'll admit I'm on the fence on, but I'll level with you.

      I myself am a Christian and while luckily not the homophobic kind I had a degree of arrogance in my teen years such as looking down on people who used profanity, engaged in pre-marital sex for the most part.

      Grew out of that and I guess I'm afraid at time of making certain judgement against quirks that I disagree with (unless I can prove it to be harmful) because I don't want to say be that kind of Christian.

      Anyway, I'm done now and if I did come off as insulting I do apologize for that.

      Delete
    9. Dude, I'm insulting this guy for wearing diapers on a blog dedicated to insulting some other dude for making shit videos, you really don't need to apologize for coming off as insulting. Just next time Radio Whine Base says something twatty, because I guarantee he will, just help me in jumping on him and pointing out what a no-talent little wankstain he is. TIA

Oh, don't tell me Chris is one of those fundamentalists or is probably trying to act like a nutcase from now on in this video, those types of people are an insult to religious, non-religious and LGBT people alike (as far as that goes, I'm religious but I say let anyone believe whatever they want to, religious, non-religious, LGBT and such, as long as they respect each other, aren't using whatever their beliefs are as an excuse to do horrible things, forcing it onto or hurting other people with them).

  11. I count myself as a Lapsed Catholic, frankly. I rarely go to church anymore. My parents do, and are major contributors to its community. Our church is St. Michaels in Providence, Rhode Island and it's super progressive and inclusive.

    So I feel that people of virtually any beliefs or non-beliefs can be good.

    It's dogma more so than religion itself is harmful to human decency. And there are plenty of non-religious yet ethically-questionable forms of dogma, for that matter.

    He is aiming at Friday morning at 8 (presumably Ohio time) for the new episode. He may do more IG episodes and if he does he will probably stick with NES games. Someone mentioned History of Video Games. He did not say anything definitive about future episodes of HoVG.

    He did the entire stream holding his phone for some reason

    3. Well, be fair- even someone like James Rolfe can't just flick on his camera and the money rolls in. Building an audience in live streaming is a long-term project.

      And with Bores, there are issues like constantly having something of substance to say, expertise in the subject you're talking about, and matters of consistently projecting a likable persona.

      Delete
    4. Chris has admitted that improv is not one of his skills. He tends to flub badly when he makes remarks spontaneously. I also suspect Chris spends a lot of time taking care of the kids so a regular streaming schedule may not be viable for him. And Puppet Steve is his priority when he does get time away from the kids.

      My sentiment is that part of everyone's (including my own) intrigue into Chris is due to the persistence of his negative attitudes, mannerisms and behaviors.

That, and he's a hypocrite and major asshole.

    2. Anybody who disagrees with you is ladybuggin huh? You do realize that saying anybody who disagrees with you is ladybuggin makes you sound just as crazy as Chris ever was right? Nothing weird about dedicating years and years of your life to a guy you hate so much

  22. The "Dennis the Menace" Nerd episode... a bit meh.

    1. Do yourself a favour, and go back and watch the Ninja Gaiden review. Or the Milon's Secret Castle review. Or the Dick Tracy review. Or any classic review to be honest. And note James' ability to sound invested in the game he's playing instead of weary and tired.

      The passion is long, long dead. Some people might not be able to see through the soulless husk that AVGN has become, but it's undeniable. This wasn't the worst episode yet, but was probably the most boring episode, and a perfect example of how aimless AVGN has become.

    2. I kinda like the back-to-the-roots tone of the last couple of videos- just laying out why the game's bad with some jokes tossed in. Maybe it's an adjustment to the pandemic, in which big productions are a lot less possible, but it's interesting to see old-school Nerd again all these years later.

    4. It wasn't the worst thing I've seen but it still isn't as good as classic AVGN. It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia has gone on for nearly 15 years and that show isn't as funny as it was with stuff like Dayman and James is going to turn 40 soon and he looks completely burned out.

    5. @Blake: I mean I do feel from time to time the comments are a little more tense when Rolfe doesn't have a list of moral failings (unless you count working with Channel Awesome or Matei at times) at worst just produces boring content.

      I mean he still seems to be someone who refrains from saying/doing things morally iffy, dismissing people publically who critique him or having a schedule slip with excuses of his late content.


      However, I think people should be free to critique James if they feel he frequently isn't delivering.

      If anything I'd think the enjoyment we get shouldn't be diminished by those who dislike him.

    6. I saw the episode and it wasn't bad. Now the Black Tiger one was pretty meh.

    7. If the new episodes were just as good as the golden years, then I'd want the show to last forever. But they're not, and they'll never be. But most people don't seem to notice, or care. We shit on the Dennis the Menace episode, but most people on YouTube were happy with it. They'll only end the series if the majority of viewers started hating it.

      To me, it's a like a chained-up circus bear being coerced by fat carnies to dance. The bear does not want to do it, but it does because it has to. Most people think it's funny but the Cinemassacre Truthers know that this bear is not the same proud bear it used to be and should be put out of its misery.

    10. I personally enjoyed it and it's still better than the crap that Chris and Doug Walker are churning out at this point.

      Still doing good for me, though am I in a minority here?

  23. Chris deleted the Joker movie clip so that's one Geektime video left. I might still have that one archived because I made a reaction to it.

  24. Where did the cartoon clip where Mr. Wilson calls Dennis "a pain in the ass" come from?

    1. I believe that came from the animated '90s sitcom "The Critic." The parodic film clip was called "Dennis the Menace II Society."

    1. In comments people seem excited for the Ernie Hudson appearance and I have a feeling it's going to just be the same video that is in his preview video from that convention or some other Brief clip from the same convention

  26. ...Aaand Puppet Steve reviews the Atari Flashback X, which comes with 110 games, so he plays six of them.

    And he doesn't talk about the quality of the port, the controls, the responsiveness... he just plays for a while.

    And he doesn't realize that the bugs in the home slots at the top of the screen in Frogger are worth bonus points. he avoids them.

  27. That Ernie Hudson bit makes me feel like Chris paid for him to make a video on Cameo. Not too far off from when Chris paid Jason David Frank to record that bit for his Power Ranger reviews.

    1. Is that a problem? In all fairness, I wouldn't expect Ernie Hudson or any other celebrity to participate for free.

      Delete
    2. Did he actually get JDF to record that line for him though: https://irategamersucks.blogspot.com/2014/03/its-stealing-time-more-power-rangers.html

      If BatDan's additional comment at the bottom and the responses is an indicator, then he might have taken that from another source. Especially since Frank doesn't name drop Bore or the Irate Gamer.

      Delete
    3. @anonymous. You asked if that is a problem. The only honest answer I can give right now is… maybe. Or maybe not. That really depends on a number of factors. Was Ernie Hudson paid to make a video through Cameo or a similar service? What were the terms and conditions for that video? Did Ernie Hudson know that his likeness would be used in a video that is presumably monetized?

      For the sake of discussion, let's say that Chris did pay Ernie Hudson through Cameo. Well, there might be a problem there as Cameo videos are generally not allowed to be used in commercial or promotional products. That Ghostbusters trailer is a promotional video. If Chris monetizes his Ghostbusters video then that would be a commercial video. Both of these are potential violations of Cameo's Terms of Service. (Cameo actually does offer a pricier promo license for videos but Mr. Hudson states on his profile that he does not do that.)

      Again, it all comes down to the details of the licensing agreement and I am not privy to those. If Ernie Hudson knew he was going to be used in a monetized Irate Gamer episode and the licensing allows for that, there is no issue. If Mr. Hudson filmed a generic greeting video for Chris and he had no idea how it would be used, there could indeed be an issue (and it would be incredibly lame of Chris to use the video in that fashion.

      In a few hours we will find out how big of a role Ernie Hudson has in this video and we may have a little more context which we can use to make as judgment.

    4. Interesting points. Thank you.

  28. If Chris can get Ernie Hudson in his review then if he does other ones, a decent idea would be to reach out to more modern gaming creators such as Scott The Woz, Nintendrew, Gaming Historian, Summoning Salt, Nathaniel Bandy, Generation Gap Gaming, or hell try Arin Hanson because he's equally as bad as Chris. The only problem for Chris is that every one of those people would likely say no.

    2. YouTube's problen is that good videos go unnoticed, whilst crap from other channels gets easily recommended more by YouTube.

      AKA the way YT works is trash, it's as if they pick channels to get noticed and ignore others. Would not surprise me in the least if that's how it works

    3. He didn't "get" Ernie Hudson, he paid for a Cameo video; which literally anyone can do if they have $135.

  31. I feel partially responsible for Irate Gamer being a trending topic again which I think is why Chris is reviving him. I might make a follow up video to the Rise and Fall of The Irate Gamer video depending on how bad the final video turns out.

    1. By the way DoubleEdgedSword2, since I feel partially responsible for making the Irate Gamer a relevant topic again, I apologize for you having to sit through the video multiple times if there is another I Can't Beleive It's Not DLA.

  32. Ernie Hudson cameo(s): short, forced and dumb, which is not Ernie's fault.

    Main feature: More imitative of the Nerd than usual. The reasons for anger, the forms and expressions of it, all very Rolfian. If it is in any way better than average Irate Gamer quality, it would be because of the quality of what he's borrowing so liberally from. He may have put a little more work into the writing this time.

  37. Okay, just finished watching it. I don't think it was good per se but I can tell Chris put more effort into this one so kudos for that much, I guess.

    Yeah, lots of copyrighted footage in there but I don't think it was any worse than AVGN with Wayne's World or Back to the Future. I hope Chris doesn't put that movie footage on a DVD.

    And yes, I am convinced that Ernie Hudson was hired through Cameo or something like that. I wonder if Hudson knows it was used in this video?

    Can someone tell me if this Irate Gamer episode was monetized? I have premium so I do not see ads in videos.

  38. has his voice regressed in the past few years? it sounds different from those caveman looking 2007 episodes

    also, I have to admit, I never thought he would resort to using Avengers: Endgame footage, reference "missing" YouTubers and AVGN, and then photoshop his own head into a baby

    1. I must admit, this was not so much terrible as it was mediocre beyond belief. I can't tell if the references to AVGN are meant to be affectionate or a shield of some kind (particularly with that brief "inspired by AVGN" flash) for his tin-foil hat demeanor over thirteen years. utilizing copyrighted footage, then doing a joke about being copyright claimed by YT is astoundingly weird. Seriously though, what is with his eyes? Was the Chris Neo stuff with the glasses meant to hide how dark they are?

  39. I will probably not be doing a riff on the Ghostbusters video. It's that bad. It makes his story arc videos look like Oscar worthy material. Maybe inspiration will hit me later, but I don't feel I can do anything with it right now.

  41. Actually this was a pretty coherent and accurate analysis of modern society. Maybe not all the supernatural aspects, but definitely society is sliding into more and more sinister directions.
