The new Volume 1 is $13.99, has a new cover with IG wearing a gray t-shirt and at least trying to look angry this time (compared to the original cover where he's just indifferent), but content-wise it looks the same.
Episodes include Back to the Future, Where's Waldo, Goonies II, Mission: Impossible, Ghosts N' Goblins, Jaws, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Super Mario Bros. 2, MUSCLE, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Yo! Noid.
Extras include Added scenes, outtakes, the "making-of documentary" that I've shown in the past, "commercials" and Hotel Gaming.
Volume 2 is $14.99, the cover has IG doing a combination of the Awesome Face and slack-jawed anger.
Episodes include Tetris, Contra Parts 1, 2, and 3, Q*bert, Preadator, and ROB Parts 1 and 2. Hang on, where's Zombies Ate My Neighbors? Well, he did upload the "DVD version" to YouTube... well that's just cheap. Especially when he uploaded it before the DVD release. Do it after!
Extras include deleted scenes, an alternate ending to Predator (hopefully one where IG loses), missing Zombies Ate My Neighbors scene (so you won't upload the episode but you'll upload a missing scene?), additional scene added to ROB video, outtakes, trailers, and a Christmas video that was banned from his YouTube account.
It was a bunch of random scenes from his show with a snow effect overlayed on it, followed by him saying Merry Christmas and a random Bullet Bill flying by because "That's related to video games! I'm so a gamer!" Followed by an Elf Yourself with IG, Tony, Devil Bores, and Ronnie. The last clip is what got the video removed, or so I've heard.
This is what an average Elf Yourself video looks like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gerWP7imzg8
It's not IG's, but it should give you an idea.
Volume 3 is also $14.99, the cover is modeled like an early NES box cover. 8-Bit IG with 8-Bit Ronnie in the background. Hmmm: http://www.ffstv.com/avg/
Episodes include E.T. Parts 1 and 2, Home Improvement, Monster Party, Aladdin, Kool-Aid Man, and Educational Mario Games Parts 1 and 2. Jeez, his show is modeled like a British comedy.
Extras include deleted scenes, 3 "mini-sodes" (no idea what they are, probably the Retro Mini and Top 5 NES games), 8-Bit intro (that's part of the Aladdin video, how is that an extra?) outtakes and trailers.
The reason Volume 2 and 3 aren't one big DVD is quite obvious. Money money money money!
Before you ask, no I will not be purchasing the DVDs. If I wanted to willingly waste my money on annoying garbage, I'd buy Limp Bizkit's entire discography.
I imagine a brave person will buy the DVDs and put the content onto various video sites that aren't YouTube. If someone does, I'll gladly do a recap on them.
Until then, let's laugh at Chris' rampant egotism as he thinks this crap will sell out. HAHAHAHAHA
Update: And the announcement video is out, and guess what he's doing another contest! Goody, more comment spam.
"For months you've been asking..." He also said this on his site. Months? Try years! Don't pretend it's been nearly four years since your first DVD.
Volume 2 DOES have Zombies Ate My Neighbors, apparently he made a mistake on his site. Because double-checking is for losers!
One of the Volume 3 "mini-sodes" is that idiotic Scrabble DS Scandal that originated in a British tabloid. It's like he wants to make a TMZ for gaming but scandals aren't an everyday thing.
I just want to remind you to use your money on something better. Get an awesome TV show on DVD, buy some music, subscribe to Netflix, get a new console. That's all I'm saying.
Wow, that's cheap. (I mean the DVD).
ReplyDeleteDaniel, Chris also redubbed a lot of his dialogue for the new ZAMN review, such as the part where he says "I think I'm gonna need a bigger gun".
ReplyDeleteIG's face on Vol.2 DVD is weird. I can't imagine it'll catch on like the derp face in his Tetris review or the "Final verdict? BURP!" face from his ET review.
ReplyDeleteI hope someone buys the DVDs and uploads the content somewhere online so I can see the special features.
ReplyDeleteNo way I'm wasting my money on this shit.
I noticed the Predator episode wasn't on there. Does it have to do with Bores's "Fist of Fury" scenes?
ReplyDeleteAlso, won't Office Max sue Bores if that "Elf Yourself" video is on there?
@ vicviper592
ReplyDeletewe can only hope.
it's a shame that a single person might actually waste money on this crap.
@vicviper592
ReplyDeleteWhoops, forgot to include that. I brought up Zombies Ate My Neighbors because he says Volume 2 "contains great episodes between Tetris to ROB the Robot". If Volume 1 ended on Yo! Noid and Volume 2 started with Tetris, that leaves an episode missing.
@Shaolin Dave
His fans have to ask mommy and daddy if they can get it. There is Karbia but he has bigger problems...
There's also the people that will buy them as gag gifts.
Holy shit I'm surprised these actually came out on time more than anything else really.
ReplyDeleteWell, to Bores' credit, the NES DVD cover actually looks pretty cool. However, I doubt any of the episodes on the DVD are that different from the ones on YouTube, except for maybe better quality.
ReplyDelete@JohnNintendoNerd:
ReplyDeleteBores' thoughts on Vol.2: "Duuuuuuh..."
Or maybe he's just hungry.
More importantly: Why did he chose THIS picture above everything else for his DVD cover? This looks more like a PARODY cover XD !
@Doresh
ReplyDeleteThis is also the same image that's shown in his blip.tv account (you know, the one where he uploads his NEO reviews that's posted on Gotgame.com).
As for the DVD... one thing that I'm hoping would happen is if somebody uploads a torrent of these DVDs so that people who want to see what's on it wouldn't have to waste $30-$45 on all three volumes.
I can bet they won't even match half the quality of Awesome Video Games Vol. 1.
ReplyDelete"...make sure you get yours quickly just incase I sell out"
ReplyDeleteToo bad Chris became a sell-out four years ago by rushing his first DVD.
actually, there's nothing even worth pirating on the DVDs, so hopefully no one will even buy them for that purpose.
ReplyDeleteso these are 'professionally pressed' instead of being shitty homemade DVD-Rs. i have no idea how many disc he's having made, but based on my research into manufacturing i'd say if he's ordered 1000 DVDs he'll only need to sell 170 or so to break even at his prices.
so, between the few actual fans he has, people who want to buy it just to see how bad it is (youtube's not enough?) and people getting it as gag gifts, bores will be making some money off this.
Well, Bores now made a video talking about volumes 2 and 3.... and surprise, surprise... he's holding another contest where he's giving away the two volumes.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Bores mentioned in the video that volume 2, does indeed, contain Zombies Ate My Neighbors... so the description on the site where he says that it starts with Tetris is apparently a mistake he made. Also, it seems that apparently, one of those 3 "mini-sodes" included is the Scrabble DS "Scandal" video.
So basically we were right in assuming the 3 mini-sodes were just random crap from his youtube channel? Can't say I'm surprised there.
ReplyDeleteIf anyone buys these I will cry

ReplyDelete@Shaolin Dave
ReplyDeleteUhh... What is this? I don't even.
Blueluigi, are you the same guy who made that Krusty's Super Funhouse review for AGentertainment's contest?
ReplyDelete@pohger
ReplyDeleteYes, I did. That was a while back, though.
@ Arthur Arneiro
ReplyDeleteit's gameplay footage of the first (and so far, only) irate gamer game. it's been posted online for about a day so far, let's see how long it takes before it's falsely flagged and/or the user is banned from youtube.
I don't know why but I feel like I want to make another game, this one being based off of memetic image macros, such as this one.
