The Contests Are Rigged! Plus Other Info
For the longest time, I've had a feeling there was something wrong with IG's contests when the winners were mostly obvious fanboys like Karbia Yuan and lukestarkiller. Turns out, I was right!
Bores doesn't pick the winners, Mommy dearest does. That's right, Bores doesn't care about you but LadyBuggin777 AKA Linda knows who's being a good Irate Gamer fanboy and tells Chris they deserve special treatment with free stuff.
On some video of some person meeting IG, Linda has been arguing her head off. Considering that's all she knows how to do, I'm not surprised that responses are childish and immature.
During this, some interesting facts came out.
First off, Linda confirms that she picks the winners of the contests. Meaning the requirement for winning isn't writing "Pick Me" in the "comments box blow" but to be a loyal Irate Gamer fanboy and to be nice to Linda. So to the casual IG fans that do read this (and I know you d0), sorry but you have no chance!
Proof:
This outright confirms that the contests are rigged and that it's disgusting that he keeps doing them.
Here's another tidbit that I'm pretty sure she's lying about, if not then I have lost a ton of respect for Eric Allen.
For those that don't know of the utuber377 PMs, a user sent Bores a YouTube PM asking about a holiday special with a tiny mention of plagiarism. His response was incredibly rude, so utuber responded back and began a back & forth chain that showed how much of an arrogant ass Chris Bores truly was. With such gems like "You will never be as popular as I am" "I make money off your whining, cha-ching bitch" and "I am better than you, deal with it"
Months after, utuber would claim the whole thing was fake despite evidence to the contrary. Such as IG sending similar messages to other users.
Linda then revealed this little "fact".
She claims the entire chain of PMs was staged by utuber and Eric "Wise Sage" Allen. I call bullshit! Why would Eric agree to make his friend look like a shithead? Did utuber ask him "Say you want to make Chris look like a total douchenozzle to the world?" and Eric agreed to it? Why would you buy this so easily Linda? It's something that makes your son look bad, something you've dedicated your LIFE to preventing as I have seen in your hundreds of childish comments. Which is too late by the way as associating yourself with IG can be seen as toxic.
It just doesn't add up!
If Eric really did do this, respect points way down.
By the way Linda, it's WISE Sage, not Blue Sage. I hate the show and even I know that.
In fact, Linda seems to be the co-show runner but without any of the credit. Good lord.
In other news, it turns out Haunted Investigators really might be coming back. Bores was in Miami with Alan Cicco. The only reason Alan would be there is if it involved Boring Ghost Shit. Uggggh.
That's all I have to say for now. I feel unclean.
EDIT: By the way, if the comments disappear and Linda claims they're fake, they are not. They have been screencapped by my informants.

Warning: Stupid video and even worse comments.

Hey guys, Irate Gamer here, I just wanted to tell you I'm holding another Contest. As usual, you gotta first subscribe to my channel and leave the comments "Pick Me", and the winner will be chosen by mother Bores way ahead of time.
ReplyDeleteI wonder when she will rage about this post? :P
ReplyDeleteWow. It's official. Bores has got to be the biggest shit head on the internet. As if scamming his own fans wasn't bad enough, now this information gets revealed. Chris Bores, fuck you.
ReplyDeleteYou should link to these comments before they're removed. Yeah we got screencaps, but might as well share the actual posts.
ReplyDeleteSo, would this make his mom the douchey counterpart of Mike Mattei?
ReplyDeleteWhat makes you think that Mike is an douchbag?
Deleteit's Matei
DeleteNo, I mean like how Bores is a douche while James Rolfe isn't, Bores' mom is a douche while Mike isn't.
Deleteoh, sorry
DeleteJames Rolfe and Mike Matei are the biggest douchebags of all the internet video game reviewers. They are scum that scam their less financially stable fans out of money.
DeleteIt is horrible that IG is doing this, but IG is just a really stupid prick. AVGN actually has intelligence, and he is currently using it in horrible ways. I have lost all respect for him.
Truth be told, I've seen some not so nice things said by Mike Matei on Deviantart and the (now-defunct) Golden Age Cartoons forums, so I can vouch for him sometimes being less than pleasant.
DeleteThat doesn't make him as dishonest as Bores and co., though.
Glad I could contribute something. I was just about as surprised when she revealed all that. I can't believe how stupid she was when she revealed what should have been kept secret.
ReplyDelete"something you've dedicated your LIFE to preventing"
ReplyDeleteNo shit. I remember when James started asking for donations, she went to MANY websites claiming he was an "E-Begger". This was no doubt a shitty attempt at making her son look better than James.
I just don't get her. Doesn't she have anything better to do than scold haters with single digit IQ comments?
Wait seriously? She went around websites doing that?
DeleteNever mind. Turns out the websites i found were just to hosts YouTube vids. Sorry about that.
DeleteBut, to half-answer your question: Yes she is doing this. Like i said, obviously to make her son look better.
If you want to see her comments on YouTube about this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dt_avVkK700&feature=player_embedded
I even messaged her on YouTube asking for her opinion. I'm not gonna' type her reply as you can pretty much guess what she said when you read the comments. I replied back claiming that donations are not uncommon in the film industry (using Evil Dead as an example). She never replied back after that.
Oh, and one more thing, i found this:
http://buzz-fix.com/gamers/wii/donkey-kong-country-returns-review-wii-game/
Yeah... I don't know about this. The whole religious thing sends off disturbing vibes.
Sorry if this comment was a little long.
Oh, for the love of...seriously?! This woman is, to quote the Spoony Bard, "nuttier than a Pay Day bar!"
DeleteTell me about it. The fact that she talks about Satan and God like that to complete strangers.
DeleteOh, and i love how she threatened him with the police. She clearly doesn't understand that everyone and anyone can say what they want on the internet, and most likely get away with it.
I actually found an entire SITE that reviews video games from a "family-friendly" (read: fundamentalist Christian) perspective. I told BatDan about it, and he gave me the go-ahead to make a blog similar to this one ripping these reviews apart. Yes, I asked BatDan if it was okay to blatantly rip off his style. This has been the Shameless Plug Hour with Random Man. And now KUKEDUKE with sports!
DeleteUm, er (SHIT, not sports! My biggest weakness when it comes to knowledge of the subject...)
DeleteI wouldn't be surprised if that was Eric Allen behind those e-mails. I remember back around 2007 he used to troll some of the anti Chris Bores videos and what he said was very similar to those supposed Bores e-mails.
ReplyDeleteSo the contests are rigged because he picks people who defend him and are actual fans of him? I just don't see how they're rigged. Doesn't Mike Matei pick winners for James' contests aswell?
ReplyDeleteCan really blame bores for getting angry too? he must get hate 24/7, it's a freaking miracle he's still on youtube.
I have to say, AVGN fanboys are alot more blind then IG fanboys. Even people who aren't big fans of AVGN are still heavily biased against Bores. At least despite my loath of Bores, I give him credit where it's due.
Like what about the sincere apology letter Chris sent to James? It wasn't completely unprofessional of Mike to post it on SA?
They ARE rigged. Or do you think it's not? Let's recap:
DeleteBores tells us that you need to be subbed and comment on the contest. There IS a possibility that he uses a random generator to pick a comment so that it's not like picking a comment by hand.
What really happens though, is that, in order to win a contest, you need to be one of his asskissers. Yeah, not rigged at all.
Except it WASN'T sincere. He totally pussyfooted his way around actually admitting to plagiarism. Again, copying AVGN is really only a small issue compared with everything else wrong with his work by this point, but the least he could do is acknowledge the elephant in the room.
DeleteAfter he wrote that letter,Chris did his TMNT review which at the time was considered his biggest ripoff of James. So I wouldn't blame Mike for being mad since in the letter Chris said any AVGN similarities were only an "accident" and that it will never happen again.
DeleteHow does this even confirm his contests are rigged she could have been lying! Hell, there's no proof that she's who she claims to be!
ReplyDeleteWell, if you attack her or say something againt her on IG's channel you will get blocked instantly. About the "rigged" stuff..it's fun to do some research on your own. Starting from her channel and people she's subbed to.
DeleteBores used to constantly delete 3 types of comments. anything mentioning AVGN, anything criticizing him, and anything criticizing LadyBuggin777.
DeleteBores recently announced that he'd be releasing a new HOVG, LadyBuggin777 announced that he'd be releasing an iRate the 80's. A day later we found that she was right. She has insider information.
I found the page for Bores's abandoned book project in which Bore's mother had signed the guestbook under the name "LadyBuggin777". While the LadyBuggin777 on YouTube might've copied this, it's unlikely as the YouTube account was created before Bores was notorious enough to attract a troll pretending to be his mother, and no one else had drawn attention to the "Dark Chapters" site.
Bores blocked me on YouTube even though I've barely commented and NEVER said anything derogatory in comments or PMs. He's blocked many people for practically nothing. He hasn't blocked LadyBuggin777.
A few months back an account was created by someone claiming to be Bores's *real* mother. The account was created for the sole purpose of calling out LadyBuggin777. This account was blocked by Bores and later deleted from YouTube. Again, this account was blocked but not LadyBuggin777s.
Maybe LadyBuggin777 is lying about being Bores's mother, but if she is, then Bores is collaborating and wants everyone to believe it's his mother. I can't think of a logical reason why he'd want that.
One more new thing, TheHUNTERX619 talks to Ladybuggin777 as his mom. You'd think when Bores met him he'd say, "hey, ignore that LadyBuggin person, that's not my real mom."
DeleteI don't see the logic in this. Bores is simply giving away items he has no use for to reward his loyal(albeit dumb)fanbase. How exactly is that rigged? that's what 99% of people do. What definitive proof is there that that person is Bores' actual mother? Batdannight is basing this off just what 1 person said.
ReplyDeleteAnd about his letter, it's my whole point, Bores never catches a break with these hardcore haters. WTF do people want him to do to get off his back?
He said it himself, he was just starting out and didn't know what to do. But of course a reasonably good explanation is just regarded as another lame excuse by most blind haters.
Don't take this the wrong way, I hate Bores, and I do(somewhat) enjoy this blog. But it's tiny little ridiculous stuff like this that ticks me off. Of all the the legitimate flaws Chris has, Batdannight instead chooses to post about this rubbish based of what one creepy-ass fan of Bores said.
Well, if he really chooses the winner from a list of loyal minions, that means the contests are rigged. But yeah, we don't have much proof and LadyBuggin777 (whoever is behind that nickname) claiming (s)he picks the winners isn't really one.
DeleteBtw, I don't think Rolfe gives away old props/title cards/etc. He generally puts them on sale on eBay.
As I've said on a reply to your previous comment, if in order to win one of his contests, you have to be a hardcore fanboy of his, it leaves no chance for his more casual fans. What makes them rigged is that to enter and win the contest, he says you just need to be subscribed and comment on the video. He didn't tell us that you need to be one of his white-knights. Thus, only a select few will actually win one of these contests, bringing false hope to most of the other people who want to win.
DeleteAnd that, is why it's considered rigged.
And here's the problem : you don't actually have any proof of that. All you have is LadyBuggin777 claiming that (s)he chooses the winners, that's it. Sure, you can have strong suspicions since a few of Bores' minions actually won something, but those aren't facts in any way.
Delete"How is that rigged?"
DeleteIt's rigged because the winners are chosen outside the rules of the contest. that's what "rigged" means.
If Bore said "I'm giving this to lukestarkiller because he's a great fan!", that'd be honest. Instead, he comes up with this fake contest to artificially boost his YouTube stats and make him appear as a more valuable partner to him than he really is.
That IS NOT the way 99% of people do it. I'd doubt that there is ONE other person that does this. If 99% of the people did do this, then 99% of people would still be rigging it.
@Thelone
DeleteBores still has thousands of subscribers, and I see a good number of people commenting on the contests. Seeing one white-knight as a winner already comes off as suspicious, but seeing two of his most notorious fanboys (Karbia and Lukestarkiller) winning makes me completely disregard the possibility of it being a mere coincidence.
Also the highlight of this post: LadyBuggin777's comments. Sure, he/she may or may not be his mother, but it could also be a close friend, or Bores himself. (S)He has already gotten stuff right about Bores before, so why would we disregard those comments above so quickly?
Well, according to FaceBores:
ReplyDelete"Just got back from recording a ghost hunting tv pilot. Hopefully this airs somewhere because the evidence collected really blows the lid off a few things about the afterlife never documented anywhere before."
A TV pilot, huh? Well, at least he's trying to show some ambition for something. Though even if by some freak chance his ghost hunter crap actually became syndicated, he'd probably give up as soon as he realized how much work producing a season's worth of TV length episodes.
... would require.
DeleteNow Bores is using Peter-Molyneux-style marketing. Great...
DeleteJason and Grant called, they say "That's our thing, do something else."
DeleteModus-Operant of a crappy killer:
ReplyDelete1:Kill the victim
2:Leave accidentally forensic evidences
3:Try to desperately remove the evidences later
4:Then say it’s all a conspiracy against him.
Really, she seems to be a kind of mother who thinks that everyone is wrong, but never her son. Now I understand why Bores is spoiled.
NO MORE WIRE HANGERS!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, this is why I never let my mom get involved in my YouTube life. Then again, I do my rants, reviews, and responses in the interest of talking about things I care about rather than to make a quick buck. I may have made YouTube Partner late last year, but I have yet to see any money from it; so I write for my school paper and I took a job petitioning the government for medical policies.
Anyway, I await when Boring Man does another review of a modern game months after it came out, or a retro game review that bashes a classic or further proves that he just doesn't care. See you later, Dan.
Well, this isn't really that big of a scandal. What else did you expect from people who frequently contradict oneselves?
ReplyDeleteEh, chalk it up to a slow start by Bores this year. Seriously, it's been 2012 for a month now and he's only made one new video.
DeleteWhile it is possible that Bores hasn't rigged his contests or that LadyBuggin777 isn't his real mom, there's no solid evidence to disprove them, either.
ReplyDeleteConsidering Bores' (accumulating) bad reputation, it leans more towards a sham unless proven otherwise.
Another thing to consider, is that even if LadyBuggin777 ISN'T his actual mom, it's STILL a hardcore fan of his that only worsens his image (and other IG fans).
Least I recall a Plagueus1742 winning Chris' PS3 contest a few years back. I've never recalled him ever kissing Boring man's ass.
ReplyDeleteIt's just seems so ridiculous. What Batdannight is saying could be said for most if not all people running contests(I.E. picking people who kiss their ass)
That wasn't "Chris's PS3"... he didn't win it from Bores, he won it from DealDash.com. If Bores could have rigged that contest, he would have (not that sending his fans to a disreputable company like DealDash for his own gain is that much better.)
DeleteMost people running contest don't just pick people who kiss their ass, I really don't know where you got that idea from.
Wow, the comments section are really venomous. LadyBuggin777 is really an ass here. Still, watching the video, the kid seemed really happy to meet the Irate Gamer. And in it's own way, the video's kinda touching, isn't it? A kid getting the chance to meet his idol, even if it is Chris Bores.
ReplyDelete"And in it's own way, the video's kinda touching, isn't it?"
Deleteno it isn't, it was dumb.
In the comments of the Bud Bowl video LadyBuggin777 claims she prefers Chris over James because she enjoys "intelligent, fun, infomative, hard working content instead of continued poop jokes and camera mugshots."
ReplyDeleteOkay, now she's getting really desperate to defend her son, because non of that was correct.
Wait, are we sure that she just doesn't get the two mixed up and thinks that IG is James?
DeletePeople are free to their own opinion and that but goddamn.
Exactly, people are free to their own opinion, but never once have i seen anything remotely intelligent, fun, informative or hardworking in any of Chris' videos.
DeleteOh, and she really needs to stop bringing up AVGN in the comments, as it will only encourage more unnecessary comparisons of James and Chris.
@KUKEDUKE:
DeleteThat's exactly what she wants, because the plagiarism accusations are by far the least concerns people have with the IG show nowadays (mainly because there are far more severe problems, and because he doesn't really plagiarize all that much anymore AFAIK).
Basically, IG defenders follow point 4 of the Internet Argument Techniques:
http://www.cracked.com/funny-3809-internet-argument-techniques/
Really. Someone is trying to argue that AVGN is worse about mugshots than IG. Wow. Just wow. I mean, I thought the "poop joke" argument was weak, but really? This goes beyond simply disagreeing with the opinions of several reasonably intelligent people. If one counted a mugshot-to-video length ratio for both shows, this could be proven factually wrong.
DeleteAfternoon of the Final Day: 12 Hours Remaining.
ReplyDelete*Clap clap clap* Bravo LadyBuggin, you have make your beloved son and his friend look even worse. Your son's number of fans will go down for sure. Well done mommy. Good job.
ReplyDelete*sigh* I swear you people are as thick as an iron coconut. Hell if one of bores asskissers said he was friends with osama bin laden, you people would probably believe it.
ReplyDeleteSo you say you're friends with Osama Bin Laden? What a funny story Ozzy!
DeleteCan you move on to a different topic already?
Deleteso u finally grew a pair of balls eh laddy btw we where in st agustine at the fountain of youth
ReplyDeleteSeriously kid, that's extremely immature.
DeleteJust don't. We already have to put up with Charlies idiocy, kid, we don't need you. Don't bother insulting us, don't sink to Ladybuggin777's level.
I don't even get it. What has BatDan suddenly done that shows he has grown a pair?
ReplyDeleteI asked Dan about that and he's as confused as we are. I think Johnny just wants some attention from us and he couldn't think of anything better.
DeleteSo, I tried to reason with both LadyBuggin777 and Johnny Awesome about their immaturity and suggest to them that they shouldn't be arguing with trolls and just ignore them...
ReplyDeleteI guess you can't argue with a Bores or a Bores fanboy. Here's the comment she left me.
"@horrorgamer01 Excuse me but who do you think you are my Father? Mind your own business as you have no idea how many avgn fantrolls go out of their way to troll me and now they are trolling Johnny ..... If I want to defend Johnny OR my son that is my god given right and I dont need yout approval or anyone else's especially not the hater trolls that are here on this video JUST to start some shiz with ME and/or Johnny ... THE END ~"
tsktsk...
Some people need to get the fuck off the internet. Seriously.
As I said before, even if LadyBuggin777 ISN'T his actual mom, it's STILL a hardcore fan of his that only makes Irate Gamer's image look much worse (and other IG fans who may not actually be so bad).
DeleteHey, Bores posted a new review!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFBUyEVc5pI&feature=g-u-u&context=G2bfdbb3FUAAAAAAAAAA
And here I thought he didn't have any other friends on youtube!
Wow, it's almost like a REAL IG video - except Bores probably has never heard of Yume Nikki XD
DeleteWell, to be fair I hadn't either until I started watching Chincherrina's videos.
DeleteI found it while randomly surfing the intarwebs. Must've been fate XD
DeleteWell, I was looking through Bores Facebook statuses on the Super Bowl and the commercials. These consisted him praising The Avengers movie because of how they panned 360 around the characters and whining about the Battleship movie.
ReplyDeleteAnd during these Facebook statuses, Johnny Awesome has been posting in every single one of them talking about how he's a giant Irate Gamer fanboy.
Heads up, fellas. The video just had its comments disabled so we won't be able to read the stupidity anymore.
ReplyDeleteClassic Bores alright.
DeleteI dunno if Bores had anything to do with it. Probably LadyBuggin giving the kid "advice." Jesus, I hate her. The kid is just as bad, if you see how often he spams on Chris' wall.
DeleteWhen I say Chris' wall, I mean his facebook wall. XD Silly me, lol.
DeleteIt always bugs me that why does Karbia freaking yuan and Lukestarkiller are still IG fanboy despite of not getting the prize.
ReplyDeleteAlso,could you do Revengeissweet30?
Hey Dan, I didn't know what your email address was, but here, check out this video.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5g5IxOHx8qY&feature=related
Wow. Funny how, if I look at Doug Walker or Lewis Lovhaug playing a different character, I see a different character. If I see Chris Bores trying to be a different character, I STILL SEE THE IRATE FREAKING GAMER. Or, rather, I still just see Chris Bores, trying to act.
DeleteI've known about that video for a while now. Even did a recap of it two years ago.
Deletehttp://irategamersucks.blogspot.com/2010/01/time-machine-that-removes-your-emotions.html
@RandomMan Exactly how I feel. XD
Delete@Dan Ah, cool. I may have overlooked that one. I thought I read through all of them. Guess not. XD
BatDan is this you?
ReplyDeletehttp://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100002419415810&sk=info
...anyone ever tell you that you look like a cross between Jason Lee and Tom Green?
DeleteYour picture looks nice.
Delete@AikoujOi
DeleteThanks.
Heh. I didn't know you had a beard BatDan. Nice picture.
DeleteYou look so badass in that pic dude :)
DeleteSo according to FaceBores, he has 2012 "pretty much planned out". Of course, if his definition of "plan" is as loose as his definition of "review"...
ReplyDeleteI remember in one of his Top 5 lists from the end of 2008, he said 2009 would be his biggest year ever. Turned out to be one of his slowest.
DeleteHe hypes everything up, this will probably be a whole lot of nothing as usual.
Well, he insists that something IG related is coming soon. Implying that he still ISN'T making an actual episode. I just hope it's not another thing like his stupid-ass "Aflac" video.
DeleteOh boy, I can't fucking wait.
DeleteBut seriously, I don't get Bores. He is a dying YouTube "celebrity" but he doesn't take advantage of the fans he has left. If I was him (Which i'm glad i'm not) I would push out an extreme amount of content to make as much money as possible before I fade into obscurity (Because, you know, money is all Bores really gives two fucks about).
Seriously. By this point his viewers consist mainly of a bunch of stupid kids who seem to take quantity over quality and the people who watch him just to make fun of him. There seems to be next to no chance of his show "growing the beard" by this point, so he's really better off just throwing a bunch of crap together to maximize his viewership while he still can. Then again, even that might be too much trouble for him, considering how lazy he is.
DeleteGood point. Unfortunately for bores, his laziness is gonna' be his biggest downfall, especially when even the 12 year olds get tired of waiting on him for content.
DeleteI don't think they get tired of waiting. Kids are generally a bad target audience, because they can totally shift their interests in about 2 years or so.
DeleteI just watched some of this idiot's video's thinking it might be entertaining like james rolfe's videos but wtf is this shit. He makes jokes that are unfunny, has shitty special effects in for no reason, contradicts himself far to much and he doesn't even make any godamn sense. How does anyone like this shit? I went to post my views on his vids and he has blocked all comments.....figures
ReplyDelete@flankspankrank but you like James? who shares the exact same qualities as Bores. Except James realizes how dumb (most of) his fanbase is that "begs" them for money. you don't see bores doing that.
ReplyDeleteGod, he's not begging. He said people DID NOT HAVE TO DONATE. A bunch of films out there are funded by donations.
DeleteWhat's it matter though, people don't like Chris, and James is clearly the better filmmaker.
But if you like Chris, your opinion, nobodies stopping you from enjoying his stuff. Just let the haters hate bud.
And what's with this "Bores doesn't update often, so he must be lazy" James hasn't made a review in a while, and I can name plenty of other people who update slower the Boring man. I guess they are all lazy too right?
ReplyDeleteBefore anyone responds, yes I'm pissed the **** off @ what happened sunday.
You do realize that James is currently filming his movie, and that he notified people that fewer updates will be the inevitable consequence?
Delete@horrorgamer01: Oh but when bores runs those contest their either "scams" or he's just begging for subs. The hypocrisy is outstanding.
ReplyDeleteFor all we know James could be scamming his fan.
and FYI; contrary to how it sounds, I hate boring man, I just hate James more.
It's all good, we all have people we don't like. To be honest though, James gives off that "nice guy" vibe, but I see where you're going with this. None of us on here actually know him. I've had conversations with Chris. He kind of comes off as rude.
DeleteSo, I can't really hate anyone unless I get to know them more and more. Personally, I watch both guys. I like James more, but Chris' fanboys are horrible. Especially LadyBuggin, Batdanmn, ad Johnny Awesome. If they would lay off, maybe people would like him more.
And I have nothing against you bud, just to let you know. I don't typically start anything with anyone on the internet. What's the point, you know? I'd like to be known as that one nice guy on the internet that tries to bring people into the middle ground and agree on everything. That doesn't work out too well, lol.
@ Ozzyman
DeleteYou should sign up for a dealdash.com account and use it as often as you can.
Ozzy, there's a magic little button labeled "Reply". It allows you to talk with someone without creating an entirely new comment.
DeleteAlso, for God's sake, change the freaking subject! Talk about things which we won't reply agressively to, since you seem to be having problems with that.
I recommend attempting to justify your opinion on James Rolfe. You seem to be bashing him for no reason. Tell us why you think he is sell out.
DeleteVery rarely, Rolfe hosts contests on his site. Simply the case, he makes money off his merchandise...he does not need to give them out to his fans like Bores does. Something does not seem right when someone frequently gives out products they intend to sell on their site. My guess he is overstocked in storage, because not many are buying his products.
@ MortalKombat2007
DeleteI've been looking into disc manufacturing for a while now, and I'd estimate that each DVD cost Bores $2 to have manufactured, depending on how many he ordered.
Giving away a $2 DVD in exchange for all those comments and video views jacking up his YouTube stats is a pretty good deal, and it unfairly helps him out as a YouTube partner.
I'd say that's the most likely reason he's giving stuff away.
@Ozzyman
ReplyDeleteI'm interested by your words and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
Me and my Family were involved in a bad car accident which killed my 2 younger siblings, my sister was killed instantly and my little brother died a few minutes ago. I was the only one who had my seatbelt on and I was only injured, give a 2 minute silence for the dead please.
ReplyDelete@ CHARLIE
DeleteWow, so choked up over the death of your brother and sister that it took you an entire minute to go back to defending the Irate Gamer? Bores must be so proud that his integrity is more important to you than the lives of your family members.
@ Charlie
DeleteYeah, I guess they really did die. That's why you're telling a bunch of random teens/adults on a blog that you so dearly hate.
Pfff like we care, go cry somewhere else kid. A graveyard would be an excellent place for that.
DeleteTry harder Chuck! From life drama to defending 30-something mommas boy... yeah we totally believe you. Retard.
Delete@ CHAAARRRRLLIIIIEEEE
DeleteI´m really sad kiddo!
also, that so called "proof" (and I use that term very loosely) is fake
ReplyDeleteMY PROOF: Laybuggin777 is a complete troll trying to make chris look bad, and his mothers real account is "Lindaohio" the wife of kenneth gordon, Age 54, bores whose father, hilary A bores died in october 2011, lets give another minute silence to him.
ReplyDelete@CHARLIE
DeleteGo to http://www.youtube.com/user/Lindaohio
Your "Proof" is false. LindaOhio started commenting on Bores's videos, claiming to be Bores's "real" mother. Bores blocked her just like he does anyone else who even vaguely criticizes him, for daring to attack his REAL mother, LadyBuggin777. LindaOhio claimed that Bores blocked him on accident, then closed their youtube account.
LindaOhio was the fake. If LadyBuggin777 was fake, Bores would have blocked her too. He blocks anyone else who makes him look bad, and right now it's a close contest on wether you or LadyBuggin777 can make him look worse.
Seems like they didnt even teach you the definition of proof in that ,,idiot school'' of yours, eh Charlston?
Delete@Charlie
DeleteUm, didn't your siblings just die? You've kinda' steered away from such a tragic event, right Charlie?

If you want more proof go and ask Chris.
It's official. IG has been reduced to a typical Internet troll...
Delete@ Walter22
DeleteI never saw that one before. Has Bores ever made any comments to Ladybuggin777 suggesting she's fake?
@Dave
DeleteNo, Bores never commented on her channel and never replied to any of her comments.
She said it was Chris who introduced her to his YT business (she joined in August'07, Chris joined in April'07).

Gee, you sure do get over your family members' deaths as quickly as Tommy Wiseau.
DeleteWow Charleston, how insensitive of you.
DeleteCharleston Stoker, eternal dick sucker of Chris Bores
DeleteIf your siblings died, at least they're somewhere where they don't have to be with an insensitive prick like you.
DeleteYou'd think that someone who has just lost two siblings would stay away from places where they are hated for a while.
DeleteSo I'm thinking that this is just another cry for attention from Charles Charlington the Third.
I'm gonna sound like an idiot for asking this, but why does everyone call him "Charlie" or "Charles?" Is that his actual name or a nickname?
DeleteHe used to troll under the username Charlie and it kinda spiraled from there. Although it's not really trolling if everyone else just treats you with contempt.

Lol. These are WWE figures, IG figure is Ted Dibiase Jr. Johnny just put some shitty colors there and there.....
DeleteWow. Such a waste of talent right there. XD

Wow. What an immature idiot. As much as I hate to admit it, I once watched the Irate Gamer when I was younger. I wasn't a huge fan, but I did watch him. Nowadays though, I look back and wonder what the heck I was thinking.
DeleteI know I've already pointed this out, but, yeah so did I. But then I began to watch more in depth reviewers and my critical writing skills got better.
DeleteHave you guys looked at his other works? They're all to do with either BatDan, or JoeyDrunko. It's kind of pathetic if you ask me. The guy just wants to be mentioned in a post, so he can spread his reign of trolling.
DeleteDatBoiDrew, consider yourself bested.
Delete@Cody S.
DeleteYou're probably right. Stupid little attention whore.
Anyways, I stopped watching the Irate Gamer once I saw how flawed his videos were, and now he's one of my least favorite youtubers. Howevewr, the reason I hate him a lot is because of his egostical attitude. I don't think I've seen one of his Neo videos in which he didn't say that he got a ton of requests. I know some people say the Nostalgia Critic, and AVGN have gotten a bit stale, but I can watch their recent stuff and still laugh at some of their jokes. I personally thought the Critic was a bit stale during the period between his Once Upon a Forest review and his Let's Play of Bart's Nightmare, but I think he's gotten a bit better with his recent videos.
I have to admit, I also was a follower to IG's videos, then I noticed all the flare he got starting from his Q*Bert video (a game that I love, no doubt) then later I went on to watch the AVGN and Critic, and then I no longer became a supporter of Bores, noticing how many flubs he's gotten, refusing to follow criticism for the lamest reasons, his terrible characters and running gangs, and him not trying to improve.
DeleteHeck, I could do video responses to primarily every of Boring's reviews then and now and go much more in-depth than he, Game Dude, and all those other crappy reviewers trying to cash in on AVGN's popularity would into each game, whenever the game's quality itself be shit or gold. The videos would possibly be crap, but at least it'd be higher quality than the shit Bores craps out.
The Nostalgia Critic is still enjoyable to watch but I got to admit, AVGN's recent reviews are getting shorter and less informative...
DeleteAnyways, this guy also did pictures of DLAbaoaqu and Linkara. He's a sad little man...
@Speeddasher:
DeleteIt's tru that IG was a bit stale during that time. He himself admitted it. If only all reviewers could be like that...
@Sovereign64
ReplyDeleteThis is what happens when little kids are raised by the internet instead of their parents.
I have to say, this video is pretty hilarious. Apparently, Johnny is someone we should fear and Irate Gamer is his "best friend". This kid seriously needs to realize that IG doesn't give a shit about him.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8Kav0RL2jM&feature=channel_video_title
I had an idea. I'm going to make a video (or blog post) offering 5 constructive, non-hate-filled criticisms of IG's videos, and ways he can improve...then maybe send it to IG, LadyBuggin777 and some of his more notorious fanboys and see what happens.
ReplyDeleteI would love to see their reactions. Unfortunately, while LadyBuggin777 may be an argumentative idiot, she rarely replies to the messages I send her, unless they are pro-IG to some extent.
DeleteAs for JohnnyAwesome (IG's "best friend") well he enabled contact lock, so I don't know how you're gonna' send it to him. Except he does have a facebook account.
Bores's typical reaction to non-hate-filled constructive critism is something along the lines of "cry to mommy, you little bitch." I wouldn't expect anything different from him, his mother, or his fanboys.
DeleteYeah, but the thing is, I don't care what the haters say. I'd just sit back and watch them rant at a guy who, honestly, doesn't really give a crap. So, yeah, trolling IG and his fanboys. *maniacal laughter* ...no, I'm not evil, why do you ask?

ReplyDeleteWTF did I just watch?
Chris just released a new video, I will guess that "IG Shorts" will be yet another series that Chris will treat as a separate entity from the Irate Gamer character but ultimately be exactly the same. However I will say it makes sense for him to produce shorts, after all, more videos means more revenue. (Although if he was going with that then it would have made more sense for him to movie 'reviews')
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wv3wINnZZVQ&feature=g-u-u&context=G2254c47FUAAAAAAAAAA
Yeah he used a SMW sprite, but the title is "SMB3 Lakitu's Revenge"
ReplyDeleteFirst thing that came to my mind when i was watching this vid: who wouldn't want a free 1-up? Irate gamer of course :)
DeleteLadybuggin777 is so obviously not his mother, chris just thinks s/he's another annoying insane fanboy/girl like lukestarkiller441 or batdanm who frequently posts comments on the Irate gamers videos.
ReplyDeleteand btw, my siblings didn't die, I was just testing your sensitivity, you are all heartless and souless.
Testing our sensitiveness with blatant lies?
DeleteYou see, your "test" didn't raise an appropriate response because someone who's lost a loved one wouldn't go on the Internet and post about it, they'd be in mourning. Thus, everyone knew you were prevaricating (lying) and reacted accordingly. All your test did was offend anyone who actually HAS lost a loved one. Who's the heartless one here?
DeleteAnd we were all testing your butthurt. give this brat some Preperation H.
DeleteChuck, do you remeber what i told you or your memory is not functioning like it should? If you're so sure about LadyBuggin777...GO ASK CHRIS. Writing a PM to him may be a complex task for someone like you, i understand. But i think it would be easier than posting here over and over without giving us anything really.
Delete"Testing our sensitivity"
DeleteFor fucks sake Charlie we are not cold or heartless. We didn't give out any sympathy because we know that you are a total Billy-Bullshiter.
That, and it was obviously a lie considering you were telling a bunch of people you hate.
at 12:07, you asked us to spare two minutes of silence for the dead.
Deleteat 12:08, ONE MINUTE LATER, you yourself broke the silence to insult us and defend Bores.
you wouldn't even spare two minutes of silence for the dead, because defending your hero and showing off your ridiculous ego was too important to you. at the same time, you call those who actually did spare those moments "heartless" and "soulless".
Can you explain us why Bores tolerates a crazy, insane fangirl that claims to be his mother? Cause those are not the good kind of fangirls, but rather the Misery-variety...
DeleteAnd Batdan, Christopher bores is not a perverse, disgusting, quarrelsome, mean-spirited, spiteful, narcissistic, sexist, racist, overweight, hypocritical, stubborn, untalented manchild
ReplyDeleteYou must be confusing him with Weston-chandler because they have similar first names
How is your family, still dead?
DeleteWatched that short IG video. Not worth making a post about, it was just dumb. Where was the joke? What was the point?
ReplyDeleteJust saw it too. I have to ask: Is that what Bores has been working on between the latest NEO episode and now? That video? It was BARELY EVEN A MINUTE LONG! There was nothing to it! Nothing, but to say 'Hey guys, I play video games. I'm a gamer.' God damn it Bores! Stop wasting your time and your fans with videos like that and get back to your series!
DeleteProbably just Bores's way of saying to his fans "Don't worry! I'm not dead! I am working on a new video! Hope this idiotic video will hold your patience!"
DeleteAt leas the got some facts right, like how the Lakitu starts throwing if you grab the 1-Up - although I'm pretty sure the SMB3 version doesn't have the 1-Up part, and this video makes it look more like Lakitu was actually trying to help Bores, who then proceeds to insult him for no reason Oo
DeleteAnd why is this a "Revenge"? Seeing how he used the SMW-sprite, it would make sense if he would've shown footage of him killing SMB3-Lakitus. Since this is not the case, we have another reason to believe that Lakitu actually wanted to help him.
And if this wouldn't be SMB3, I'd swear he'd just took a scene from an unfinished review.
Well, In my opinion its one of IG's worst videos and thats saying allot.
ReplyDelete@Sovereign64 I completely agree with you. AVGN is so overrated, and atleast NC isn't a sellout like James.
ReplyDeleteStill loving the logic here though(or lack there of)
AVGN selling plushies & making half assed videos to answer his fanboys: Ok
Bores making a 2 minute video to remind his fanboys he's still relevant: OMGWTF just another greedy-ass attempt for revenue.
(not a fanboy) The difference may be that while AVGN is backed by a company (Screwattack) and thus the company may have made the plushy without his active involvement and just asked him if it was okay, IG is a YouTube partner, and thus him making quick, 2-minute videos that require no effort is an obvious grab for ad revenue. Just my 2 cents.
DeleteDude, we get it. I understand your point since your first post, you hate AVGN, you have the reason, WE GET IT. Stop being a broken record. You expect everyone to agree with you until you stop posting? You expect us to rename this blog to "AVGN Sucks"? If so, you're looking in the wrong place. I understand you, i don't agree with you, others gave you some replies about what they think, that's all there is for ya'. There won't be anything else, really. Change the record, it's about damn time.
DeleteThat was not what Sovereign64 meant.
DeleteFace it, you're not convincing nor does anyone agree with you. Stop shoving your opinion into others, and change the goddamn subject already!
@ Ozzyman
DeleteArthur is right. That is not what I meant you idiot. I did say AVGN's reviews are getting shorter. But does that mean I hate him now? NO!!! So shut the hell up, WE GET YOUR OPINION ON JAMES ALREADY!!!
I really don't know what to think of that video? Did I miss something? Was something funny said in it? Overall it was just meh. I'll give him some credit though, atleast he didn't refer to Lakitu as "Koopa Turtle with Floating Cloud". But anyways it's obvious he just made this video as a quick way to make cash, seeing as he knows his stupid fanboys will eat up everything he craps out.
ReplyDeleteI love how he's sucking on purpose on SMB3. I mean really, he's just jumping on these platforms while they're spinning.
ReplyDeleteAs for the video in general... yeah. It was retarded
I saw the new IG short and......I don't get it. He sucks ass at SMB3 and then Lakitu shows up and get angry because he kept bothering Bores? I don't get it! Ugh!
ReplyDeleteDamn, looks like I called this one: just another stupid short, further delaying any real content (for as much as you can call his main videos "real content"). Seriously though, it's like he was trying to condense as many as his trademark "Bores-isms" into one video as possible.
ReplyDelete-Winter gaming
-Camera Mugging
-Failing on purpose
-Randomly appearing game characters
-Being a dick to said game characters for no reason (Seriously, he was offering you a 1up, what's wrong with you?)
I know this is reaching, but maybe Boring Man ignored the 1-Up because typically after taking it from Lakitu, it starts throwing spinies at you. That's probably not why he was a dick to Lakitu, but it's a possibility.
DeleteSheesh, well how is it I sound like a broken record when we've been talking about how shitty Chris has been for the last year. I'm beginning to sense some AVGN fanboyism here.
ReplyDeleteif you're going to blame Bores for such trivial things, you might aswell acknowledge other who've done the same or simile. To avoid coming off as a biased douche.
The problem is the other(in this case James) HASN'T done the same thing.
DeleteJames made AVGN. It became very popular, and he in turn released DVDs containing extras, behind the scenes, commentaries, and other stuff. He is now in the process of making a movie, costing tons of money. He was uncomfortable with asking for donations, and didn't expect much from it. He has made content that has entertained many people(whether you personally enjoy it or not is irrelevant), and there is no obligation to donate to his film, or buy his stuff, or anything.
Chris made The Irate Gamer, a series based off of AVGN, and it became sort of popular, but many see it as a cheap, crappy knock-off(again, your personal opinion is irrelevant). Less than a year after his beginning, with less than 100,000 subscribers, and lackluster average video views, he released a lazy, hastily made t-shirt to cash in on his "fame." He has since released poorly made DVDs with little extra content, and other stuff in order to make money.
The difference between James and Chris is that James is doing this because he wants to do it, not to make money. Chris is very clearly just in it for the cash. It is in no way the same.
Sorry for the long post, but it just had to be said.
To Ozzyman:
ReplyDeleteMaybe this blog is a broken record, but people on here tend to back up their critique with reason.
All you can say is "You're all hypocrites for praising James yet you bash Bores", and when someone responds to you, you completely dodge their response rather than making a direct rebuttal.
It would help if you could back up your hypocrisy arguments with some reasons.
Oh and, the reason why James' last few videos were becoming lackluster, he was occupied with other work. Can't say the same for Chris.
What? you people don't think James was in it for the money either? It's right in front of you damn biased eyes and ears and you people still can't see it?
ReplyDeleteSo the guy making a movie, advertising dozen of half assed products with his ugly mug on it, partnered with numerous websites, and lazily posting videos for ad revenue; IS NOT in it for the money.
yet the idiot partnered with one tiny website hardly anyone has heard of, selling 3 crappy products, and releasing less then 12 half assed videos a year; IS in it for the money?
who's making more revenue here? James
Who has the bigger fanbase? James
Who has the supply & demand? James
if Bores is so greedy why does he still bother with his show since hes so unpopular and making so little money?(compared to other people to other people doing the same thing)
@Ozzyman
DeleteI see how it is...you think because James Rolfe made it big, he must have cash to spare. That is least likely the case.
@Ozzyman
DeleteHere's the difference. James started out the AVGN as a series specifically meant to ENTERTAIN. Chris, however, decided to cash in on the popularity of game reviews. AVGN released a DVD after being out for a while, whereas IG released one after a few months. Furthermore, Chris' donations are not going to him personally - they are all going into the movie. IG takes all his revenue and puts it in his pocket. AVGN makes videos updating fans about the progress of the movie and thanking them for all their support. IG makes half-assed contests, "updates," movie "reviews" and effortless iRate the 80's for the purpose of ad revenue. Thank you, Good night.
There are hundreds of movies on the IndieGoGo site I think its a nice way for people outside of the main stream gather funds without having to worry about Studio intervention.
DeleteConsidering how much money you make from internet videos coupled with the cost of running his servers and it being his main job I doubt James Rolfe has thousands of dollars to spare, even Clerks cost 20-30 thousand in the mid 90's so even for that level of production today you need a lot more. For a movie with multiple locations you pay to film outside, for equipment, cast, crew, catering as a minimum once thats done you pay for editing and clean-up then you need a load more to promote, even on the indie scene.
Fact is even if he had gotten money from regular studio investment people would start crying about him being a corporate sell out.
It's weird I thought the US was all about people building themselves up and taking every opportunity.
I don't even care about Bores taking his opportunities I just find it pathetic that after all this time he's still so bad at it and ignorant of his chosen subject.
On last thing (sorry for going on a bit)
DeleteJust watch his Cinemasacre 200 video and ask yourself "is this guys sole motive for making a movie money?"
Look at The Nostalgia Critic. He's just as popular as James. But he's obviously not greedy like him. It's just him, his website, and a bunch of other reviewers like him. He's not asking his fans for money or making a movie.
ReplyDeleteSure James and Doug are friends but that's beside the point.
How? He made DVD out of Kickassia, by your definition he must be in it for a money. What about advertisement in the middle of videos? Going by your logic, everyone that made it big are greedy whores and suck monkey fuck. I'm starting to think you are really retarded, brain damage or something and yes, you are a broken record. Start a blog or something and stop crapping on comment section, this blog is not called AVGN sucks.
DeleteOzzyman: "So the guy making a movie, advertising dozen of half assed products with his ugly mug on it, partnered with numerous websites, and lazily posting videos for ad revenue; IS NOT in it for the money."
ReplyDeleteEveryone who has a job is in it for the money, but the money isn't the sole motivator for James. More on that below.
"yet the idiot partnered with one tiny website hardly anyone has heard of, selling 3 crappy products, and releasing less then 12 half assed videos a year; IS in it for the money?"
The reason the products are crappy is due to cost cutting. James on the other hand puts more money into his products and episodes prior to the movie. Not to mention, he had a more consistent schedule when he was still doing his videos.
"who's making more revenue here? James
Who has the bigger fanbase? James
Who has the supply & demand? James
if Bores is so greedy why does he still bother with his show since hes so unpopular and making so little money?(compared to other people to other people doing the same thing)"
Ad revenue. Hence the really short videos. Again, the declining quality of James' videos are due to occupation with other work.
What's keeping Chris from putting effort in his work?
To finish, sell products and making money doesn't a greedy person make.
ReplyDeleteWhat makes a person greedy is when they try to make money off products with little to no effort.
Give up, dude. Ozzyman is obviously a psychotic communist troll.
DeleteYeah, I think you're right. Maybe it's just Charlie under a Pseudo-Polite sockpuppet...
DeleteNah, he sounds slightly too intelligent to be Charlie. Maybe he's secretly Archfiend? They seem to have the same incredibly loose grasp on the term "greed".
DeleteNo dude you have to understand.
DeleteYou see the only time something is good is if the person doing it doesn't get any money for it and is doing it in front of a very small audience. Once money and a large fanbase comes in then everything goes to hell. That's why the Beatles were only good when they were the Quarrymen and MST3K absolutely sucks save for the KTMA episodes.
(I sure hope nobody takes this post seriously)
Don't be silly lordharl Archie won't make any money from posting his opinion on this site. You know because its wrong for Youtubers to make money from their videos but its fine for him to make money by talking about them in his videos.
DeleteOzzyman, may I just ask what exactly is wrong about doing something 'just for the money'? Not that I'm saying James does that but just curious...
ReplyDeleteLet me rephrase my main point 1 more time.
ReplyDeleteIt's not James making his movie that I think is wrong, but of how he went about doing it.
I don't know how explain myself any clearer. If you still understand, then wait for James to release his "movie" and then you'll see what I mean.
Majority of directors go around asking for money, especially those not known. I don't see you bitching about Sam Raimi when he was no one and wanted to make Evil Dead. Internet wasn't available back then.
DeleteYour point doesn't make sense though. All independent movies have to go cap in hand for financing all AVGN did was make a video saying people could help if they want
DeleteKevin Smith and as Legion pointed out Sam Raimi all had to go around asking for cash from people. In fact Bruce Campbell has said the only reason they are doing an Evil Dead remake is to give back to their investors.
Most of the people donating to the AVGN movie have contributed $10-$30 which in reality isn't much its just a lot of people wanted to help get this movie made.
"If you still understand, then wait for James to release his "movie" and then you'll see what I mean."
What will this prove exactly? Seriously what will happen when the movie comes out? Look at how he started making videos then look at what he has to gain by releasing it. Why wouldn't he want to make as good a movie as he can
Ya know what, even ignoring this point was debuked so many times already, once is enough. You dont have to repeat it over and over and over and over again. If you realy dont like how greedy AVGN is, start a blog on that or something.
DeleteSo in other words, you hate James for not following your douchey-ass, hyper specific way of doing things, and insist that he deserves to fail for not doing so. Is this part of some kind of weird ass religion that you and Archdouche subscribe to, or what?
Deletehey did u see that stupid ig short that he made based on a latiku bugging him
ReplyDeleteThought this went through an hour ago, but I'll try again.
ReplyDeleteA big example of the lack of effort Chris makes in in his History of Video Games series.
It's suppose to be a legit documentary with many facts concerning video games, yet it's full of misinformation with his Odyssey video being a prime example (what with Ralph Baer pointing it out).
Now if he can't bother to redo his past installments, then at the very least he could try adding optional subtitles which provide the correct information (like when Lewis/Linkara did when he mistakingly call his brother, his mother in the Adamantium Rage).
Really, we don't expect Chris to be perfect. We just expect him to put in more effort, and that he should be willing to own up when he makes mistakes (His Tekken review is the only time he did so).
