Whoa, a second movie review this year? Someone check Hell’s thermostat.
What’s he going to talk about? The Hunger Games. Wow, and I thought his Neo reviews were really late. Okay, to be fair it did just come out on DVD/Blu-Ray but anything he says about the movie really won’t matter now, months after it’s been in theaters.
He titled the video “Hunger Games - Down and Dirty Movie Rant and Review”. Down and dirty? What kind of title is that? Are you going to wrestle Woody Harrelson or something?
The description isn’t much better, as he says the “fisticuffs fly”. You’re spending 2 minutes 45 seconds talking about a movie, there’s no need to get that over-dramatic about it.
Oh look, he’s learned fake thumbnails too! We have an image of a supposedly topless Jennifer Lawrence with the words “Down and Dirty” censoring her chest. I’d say that I would forever hate YouTube if this video gets a ton of views because of that thumbnail, but my opinion of the site really can’t go any lower.
Onto the video.
Bores says that the story was entertaining but felt parts were “underexplained”. Or they purposely didn’t explain certain things to add material for the sequels. Just saying.
“My rant about this film isn’t about the story itself as most of my movie rants go” What movie rants?! You never rant about movies! All your previous videos on movies are “reviews”, you label them as reviews. Yes, they’re poorly made but they’re certainly not rants.
Instead, his rant is calling out the cinematographer. He complains that the movie has some of the weirdest “super-quick panning shots” and “shaky cam”. This rant would have been so much better had you made it in March. Back when everyone was already complaining about this.
He compares the footage to a YouTube video and asks if they heard of a Tripod. Where the hell do you get off calling them out for this? Where’s your big budget movie?
“What cinematographer do you know who doesn’t use a fucking tripod?!” Ever hear of a found footage movie Bores? Blair Witch Project, Cloverfield, Paranormal Activity?
“I bet you’re just one of those hippie assholes who loves to make a statement” Where did you get that idea? The whole point of the shaky cam is to showcase how chaotic The Hunger Games really are. It’s a bunch of kids killing each other. Also, where were your complaints on this during your review of the second Transformers movie? The camera work there is soooo much worse.
He then proceeds to call out the editor, claiming that if he finds him, he’ll smash his DVD over his head. Keep it classy!
Chris, you’re the last person to call out someone for bad editing. Do you really think your constant green screen with people sliding into frame like they're on ice, or bouncing into frame like they're South Park characters is any better?
He complains that shots go by too fast. Then tries to explain how they need to let the audience absorb each shot and take it in. Since when the hell did think you’re such a master filmmaker? You’ve done nothing to show any competence in the art of film.
Also, a lot of movies out there have fast cutting. Saving Private Ryan and The Shining are two great examples. Actually, Saving Private Ryan makes perfect sense. Both movies are in ultra-violent settings where the characters are relying on their instincts to fight through everything.
He also shows an example of a scene with multiple cuts. Actually, I think I get what they’re trying to convey here. They’re showing Katniss and Peeta entering on their chariot and the cuts to the audience are to show what Katniss is likely feeling. A lot of people watching her and her mind is racing and all over the place. That’s at least what I see from it.
Bores also keeps going on about getting motion sick or having a “mild case of epilepsy”. You know, if all these movies or games make you sick or give you seizures, maybe you should stop and find something else to review that won’t cause that. How about the Pokemon episode Electric Soldier Porygon?
“Are you fresh out of film school” Considering you never went, you need to shut the fuck up and quit acting like you’re an expert.
He says this was the first time he would rather read the book and mentions that before he hasn’t. You act like we’re surprised by this.
That’s basically the video. Bores acting all high and mighty like he’s a big time director or something. Again, you shouldn’t talk Bores. Your editing is abysmal, and when you go on about staying on shots for too short, all I can think of is the times where you stay on a shot too long. That is, all the times you stare at the camera telling people that this is the funny part.
Deliverance115, who has read the books and seen the movie, sees all the fast editing like this. The characters are bunch of kids, being thrust into a new world at an ultra-quick pace, their minds are racing and they have no clue what’s going on. It actually makes sense for everything to spin or shake when seen that way.
Considering how little Bores spent talking about the story, it seems like he missed it and only saw the technical side of it.
And if you think I’m being a bit hard on Bores thinking he’s so high and mighty? For the past year or so, fans have asked him if he’s making a movie. His response was always the same “Season 4 is my movie” or “My show is movie-like”. That’s what he claims, Season 4 or Season 1 HD or whatever the fuck he wants to call it is his “big movie”. He’s even stated that if you string all of the episodes together, you have his movie.
Let’s analyze that last part shall we?
So far, there have been 5 Season 4 episodes (over two years). Time-wise, they add up to 48 minutes and 48 seconds. That’s including his theme music, his credit title cards, and the “Check out my other videos” card at the end. I imagine removing those would only shave off a few seconds.
The opening introduces our villains. Alright that’s fair. We meet IG’s new neighbor Goro, who isn’t seen after the first 15 minutes. The box of 7-Up games is set up like a plot point, only to end up being a sight gag. The robot invasion, which would be the final act of a real movie, is taken care of within the first 30 minutes. The plot whiplashes into the whole “chosen one” thing after that. A brand new villain is introduced 46 minutes into the movie, with no resolution about the other villains. Characters are introduced out of nowhere, given zero development outside of their single dimension. The hero is an unlikable buffoon and a complete Mary Sue.
The point is, Chris shouldn’t act like he’s this great filmmaker when he’s less credible than The Asylum. He can claim he went to film school all he wants, but the facts say otherwise (how Ashland University doesn’t have a film & broadcasting major, the Dark Chapters).
I get the feeling this video was just another bandwagon jump.
Wait, I just realized. He didn’t actually review this movie! All he did was rant about the technical problems he had, and dedicated like four seconds to the story. Don’t call it a review then!

As a DOP and an Editor, the thing that shits me about this 'rant' is how he is accusing the Cinamatogrpher and the Editors as being the sole causes of these choices. On a film shoot not only do you have to deal with the vision of the director and the knowledge of the producers (which can be more focused on how to make the film marketable), but there is a general expectation to play things dead safe and not try new ideas. Shooting the film as though it is trapped in the mind of one of these kids was a massive risk, because it will either draw people in or throw them out of the experience. In the end it hasn't panned out well but I applaud everyone who worked on this film for their ambition.
ReplyDeleteBy the way Bores the Cinematographer was A guy named Tom Stern who has not only worked on: Mystic River, Million Dollar Baby,
Gran Torino, Invictus and J. Edgar. But he was nominated for an Acadmy Award for his cinematography work on Changeling. As for the 2 editors: one was Stephen Mirrione who has done the editing for all the Oceans films, The Informant! (A personal favurite) and every film that George Cloony has ever directed. He was also nominated for an academy award for editing Babel and WON AN OSCAR for his editing of Stephen Soderbergs movie Traffic. The other editor was Juliette Welfing, how has mostly done french films was also nominated for an Oscar for her work in The Diving Bell and The Butterfly.
So next time before you go and tell people they are at a "shit for youtube" filming level or saying they are "Fresh out of film school" why don't you do some god damn research!
I guess it's easy for him to overestimate the importance of certain filmmaking positions, seeing how he makes his videos all by himself and doesn't really know how a proper movie is made.
DeleteAnd why do I get the feeling he hasn't really informed himself about the two guys he's ranting about and threatening with violence?
Cringe! I cringe all over from the hot air blowing outta his face hole. It is one thing to complain about the direction of the editing, but to flat out claim that they are clueless is just insulting... and ironic since Bores is saying.
DeleteThanks to The Gentleman for naming the professionals involved in the film. I didn't know anything about them.
To sum it up:
ReplyDelete"Chris cinema expert! Chris angry about controversial filming techniques! Chris totally not just jump on bandwagon! Chris illiterate!"
The thing is, there ARE parts of the film that feature too much shaky cam (mostly at the beginning), but Bores is the last guy we need to hear lectures about crappy editing from. And even if he did actually care about the shit he was spouting, he's done this song and dance with bitching at popular targets (recent Sonic games, Nintendo, Michael Bay, James Rolfe, etc.) so often that he has zero credibility, and any time he does a video like this, it's a pretty safe bet to assume that he's just bandwagoning.
I think The Hunger Games is one of the most overrated films of the year, but not because of the shaky cam. Bores focused on the wrong things, why call it a review if you're not going to discuss the story, writing, or characters.
ReplyDeleteI myself liked it better when it was called "Battle Royale" XD
DeleteA "mild case of epilepsy"? Wow, Chris. You don't get a case of eplilepsy, it's not a disease. You either have it or you don't. I doubt he regularly gets seizures.
ReplyDeleteNot much of a review. Bores barely told us about the film. What is the story of Hunger Games and what parts of the film did he felt under explained? All Bores does is make insults and death threats. Granted, Bores told us what he did not like about the cinematography and editing, but he did need to be mean spirited about it. Also, what about the acting and writing? I guess those aspects are not important enough to bother with. The video is more of rant than a review.
ReplyDeleteI really don't like Chris tbh, but I have to defend him here.
ReplyDeleteWhenever he said something bad about this movies editing and such, you said the editing on the Irategamer show was worse, that he pretends to be a big filmmaker or whatever.
Just because Chris is bad at those things, it shouldn't mean that he isn't allowed to criticize movies that he don't like, or that his opinion is invalid because of his own (crappy) videos.
You don't have to create a movie to rant on one, or create a game to see that it is shit.
True, you don't have to make movies to review them.
DeleteBUT, making videos with crappy editing and THEN complaining about a movie with (supposedly) crappy editing is a bit different, ain't it?
That is not the problem here, the problem is that he has come out and insulted people who have worked for years in the industry doing some stellar work. The choices he took issue with are some running problems with the film and if he had just pointed them out nd claml explained why they don't work it would be fine, but when he made direct insults against hard woring individuals who would be doing this as an asthetic choice rather than a personal preference he crossed the line.
DeleteIt would be like if he was 'reviewing' a video game and said this:
"and look at these dark as shit grphics, what did the artist for the game have his head up the arse of a camel? It's called bloom moron! If ever find this guy then I'll beat his head in with a lamp!:
Also, it just seems like he really doesn't understand the difference between a angry parody review, an actual review, and a rant video. In an angry parody review, you can get away with saying stuff that goes beyond what might be acceptable in a standard review, by doing it in such an over the top fashion that it's obvious that what you're saying is a gross exaggeration of your actual sentiments. A rant video, on the other hand, should only be made if someone has done something that has genuinely pissed you off, you intend to have everything you say be taken at face value, and are prepared to suffer the ire of fans of who/what you are insulting.
Delete@The Gentleman:
DeleteThis further proofs my theory that he doesn't actually know WHO the guys he's been ranting about actually are.
As a quick pointer, you repeatedly mixed up "their" and "they're". Not a criticism as the substance of the analysis was good, but you know that some fanboy will use it as an excuse to ignore your points.
ReplyDeleteFixed that. Thank you.
DeleteInteresting. He blocked me. I think, because of commenting on his Colorforms "documentary".
ReplyDeleteWs that thumbnail of Ms. Lawrence really necessary? Not to mention, many of his commentators have called her a bad actress. Well, those guys don't know a good actress when they see one (she was great as Mystique).
What the actual Hell? The Hunger Games is a great movie, and I think it's one of the better uses of the shaky cam (which I actually don't have a problem with). Bores has absolutely no right to call the cinematographer out when Bores has done some of the most amateurish filmmaking since Video Brinquedo.
ReplyDeleteThe way he talks about it, it's clear he hasn't read the book at all. In fact, in my town, when the movie was coming out, the book was coming in and out of our library in the days and weeks leading up to the movie. I did my review for my YouTube channel in April, when the movie was still breaking box office records.
I saw the film again this past Saturday, and I think it's a movie people will remember for a long time, and one that marks Lions Gate becoming a movie studio that can rank with the "big five" (Sony, Warner Bros., Paramount, Universal, and Buena Vista). The sequels based on Catching Fire and Mockingjay are already in production; and Bores has yet to release another entry in his fan fiction disguised as a video review show.
See you around, Dan.
Ugh, he's learned to make misleading thumbnails? May he burn with Shane Dawson and all the other asshats that get away with that.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if he'll review Doom 3: BFG edition. Maybe he'll rant about the game's oppresive, pitch black atmosphere...
ReplyDeleteIs it just me or is Bores really panicking? Back in 2007, he got his start by unintentionally pissing of AVGN fans (Oh, and that strike of luck with YouTube promoting his shit). Now, five years later, he has gone from 53rd to 1351st. His videos barely generate redeemable views with his Silver surfer and FairChild reviews both currently holding 99,000 views despite the fact that they are months old (Hell, not so long ago his videos would be well past the 150,000 mark at this point). His subscriber gain is sluggish at best, if not negative.
ReplyDeleteAnd what's so great about all of this? Simply the fact that he is realizing it! He has resorted to bandwagoning in vain hope that it will generate views, Which it has considering his spoof video has generated 57,000 views in a week. Something that is pretty obscure for him and only makes the situation even more sad. Hell, now he's resorted to using tits in the thumbnail... oh Bores your desperation is delicious.
I haven't seen The Hunger Games, but as someone who's a fan of Battle Royale it sounds like an inferior version of it. However, I am willing to give it a chance; just because it's an inferior version of a fantastic movie doesn't mean it won't be good or even great.
ReplyDeleteBut this video... well, my biggest complaint is this. Bores, if you hate shakycam so much, why don't you just post a rant on how you hate shakycam using The Hunger Games as an example? You could talk about how the technique is overused or overrated. Even if you cite good movies as examples (like you normally do), the topic itself is sure to give you some kind of credibility. The fact that The Hunger Games has recently been released on DVD would even make it feel more timely!
But no, he just attaches on the name of a popular movie in an effort to get people to watch it.
That IS a good point! Plenty of other movies have used shaky cam and excessive jump cuts before. If that's all he wanted to talk about, he should have brought up other movies that pulled the same shit. Surely there have been ones that used it more liberally than Hunger Games!
DeleteDon't forget the misleading thumbnail. *shrugs*
DeleteHm. So he's resorted to fake thumbnails eh? Well at the very least his lack of credibility is becoming more and more transparent.
ReplyDeleteNow all he has to do is use video titles that have nothing to do with the actual video, and his subscriber count will skyrocket thanks to Shane Dawson's fans!
DeleteI'm going a little off-topic here, but I wanted to know what do you guys think of the rumors that Doug may be retiring the Nostalgia Critic very soon.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I think he's doing the right thing. The latest NC episodes are very weak, not horrible, but very weak, so I'm glad that he might have noticed that too. I hope he doesn't stop making videos, though.
He's not retiring. He recently signed an exclusive deal with Blip, ensuring that he'll be around for a long time. He's also confirmed in interviews he's not going anywhere.
DeleteToo bad then. I'm sorry, but his newest episodes don't do it for me.
DeleteI'm guessing many are finding Doug's attempt to make every review since Digimon (not counting the Top 11 F*ck yeah moments) a crossover with another member on TGWTG very repetitive. Even if his Scooby Doo review was a crossover with himself, Roger was present in the purgatory scenes. That makes a grand sequence of six crossover episodes in a row.
DeleteFrom what I've heard, he did that to lighten his work on new NC episodes so he can focus on To Boldly Flee. Get another set of hands to help out and all.
DeleteHi, everyone! Irate Viewer here, with my long-awaited review of Chris Bores' 'Hunger Games' review that all of my many fans have definitely been clamoring for.
ReplyDeleteNow, basically, this is a review of a popular film that had previously been based on a book, so you can imagine my excitement. But this review's not all roses and kittens, there are also some rough patches. Why do we have to see clips from the film, when the review doesn't even turn out to be all that positive? I want to see clips from good movies, not from some assload of shit!
All in all, you should watch Chris Bores' Hunger Games review for yourself and make up your own mind. And remember to Like me on Facebook to get in the drawing for a free sticker! Until next time, review on!
At this rate, I'd be unsurprised if he only has a handful of subscribers by 2013.
ReplyDeleteAnd he's using misleading thumbnails. That alone has me despise him even more.
This video seemed really confusing to me.
ReplyDeleteFor a start, I'm a film grad and have a BA in film studies. So when Chris rants about the 'cinematographer' here, it really shows that he has no idea what a cinematographer is or what they actually DO. He seems to labour under the idea that this is something of a mix between a cameraman and an art director.
Second, who's his target audience here? It can't be the same audience as his previous video, because in that video he used a lot of toilet humour but would still censor his language, whereas in this video he curses like a sailor. Where's the consistency here?
He seems genuinely angry at some points in this video, which makes me wonder why he got so wound up about something so minor. Did a shaking camera run over his dog or something? I mean c'mon, the tired old 'angry reviewer' style of thing was only ever genuinely funny if the person in question was clearly exaggerating for comedy effect.
And it's worth noting, the use of shaking camera isn't meaningless in this film. It's used extensively in the poverty-stricken areas at the start of the film, and during the games themselves, but tends to go for a more traditional cinematic style during the scenes set in the futuristic city. There's a reason for that, it's signifying the difference between the two different social circles - the poor are shot in a 'documentary' style to illustrate a sense of realism, while the rich are given more polish and shine. An argument could be made that the shaking was excessive, but it certainly wasn't meaningless. An intelligent reviewer could make an interesting discussion on how it was used...
But intelligent discussion was lacking in this video.
Yeah, it's weird how he spents so much time ranting about the camera that he completely forgets talking about the movie - even less than usual Oo
DeleteAnd are you still surprised about his inconsistent cursing and censoring?
Then again, I'd also like to know why he does that...
- "Whoa, a second movie review this year? Someone check Hell’s thermostat."
ReplyDeleteRelentless insulting for no reason. Why does it matter if this is only his second movie "review"?
- "What’s he going to talk about? The Hunger Games. Wow, and I thought his Neo reviews were really late. Okay, to be fair it did just come out on DVD/Blu-Ray but anything he says about the movie really won’t matter now, months after it’s been in theaters."
Better late than never. Once again, who cares if YOU think it's too late? Aren't movies supposed to be a timeless medium? I doubt you'd shit on someone for discussing Citizen Kane in today's day and age. If you own a home copy of a movie, you can inspect and analyze the movie much better than being in a movie theatre.
- "He titled the video “Hunger Games - Down and Dirty Movie Rant and Review”. Down and dirty? What kind of title is that? Are you going to wrestle Woody Harrelson or something?"
Are you seriously so upset over the title? Talk about lame and unneeded nitpicking + a poor attempt at a joke.
- "The description isn’t much better, as he says the “fisticuffs fly”. You’re spending 2 minutes 45 seconds talking about a movie, there’s no need to get that over-dramatic about it."
It's an intended exaggeration. Of course he's not THAT upset over it.
- "Oh look, he’s learned fake thumbnails too! We have an image of a supposedly topless Jennifer Lawrence with the words “Down and Dirty” censoring her chest. I’d say that I would forever hate YouTube if this video gets a ton of views because of that thumbnail, but my opinion of the site really can’t go any lower."
It's a play on words from the title. It's misleading, I'll give you that.
- "Bores says that the story was entertaining but felt parts were “underexplained”. Or they purposely didn’t explain certain things to add material for the sequels. Just saying."
That's clearly poor writing and it can easily upset people. A sequel should expand upon what the first did, not to deliberately half ass the first so they can give a false impression of improvements.
- "“My rant about this film isn’t about the story itself as most of my movie rants go” What movie rants?! You never rant about movies! All your previous videos on movies are “reviews”, you label them as reviews."
There's a legitimate mistake, I'll give you that too.
- " This rant would have been so much better had you made it in March. Back when everyone was already complaining about this."
Like I said earlier, better late than never. Now he has to chance to watch it on his own time and analyze it freely.
- "Where the hell do you get off calling them out for this? Where’s your big budget movie?"
SERIOUSLY?! You don't need to be a chef to complain that the soup is too cold, or you don't need to be an Oscar-Nominee to complain about someone's acting. The same can be applied to your bullshit statement. You don't need to have created a big budget movie to criticize one.
- "“What cinematographer do you know who doesn’t use a fucking tripod?!” Ever hear of a found footage movie Bores? Blair Witch Project, Cloverfield, Paranormal Activity?"
Those are completely different genres that intentionally emulated how a handheld camera works.
- "The whole point of the shaky cam is to showcase how chaotic The Hunger Games really are. It’s a bunch of kids killing each other"
You don't need to use a shaky cam to show off a chaotic scene. Why does it matter if they're kids killing each other? It's a controversial subject among sensitive people who value a young person's life over anybody else. Kids are still human beings.
- "He then proceeds to call out the editor, claiming that if he finds him, he’ll smash his DVD over his head. Keep it classy!"
The whole point of the video is to be a harsh rant.
I have to run.
To be continued.
"Why does it matter if this is only his second movie "review"?"
DeleteBecause of his general slow shedule? Because he originally planned to make a lot more movie reviews (like his false promise to review ever single movie from his Top 10 lists) before apparently getting bored by them?
"If you own a home copy of a movie, you can inspect and analyze the movie much better than being in a movie theatre."
He only complains about the shaky cam, and I'm pretty sure that camera technique has a MUCH bigger impact on the big screen.
Also, the movie has already been reviewed to death. Any complaint he has is old news.
"You don't need to have created a big budget movie to criticize one"
You also don't bash editors with year-long experience if all your own videos have terrible editing, all while acting like you understand more about editing.
"The whole point of the video is to be a harsh rant. "
Does that imply that the SUBJECT of the harsh rant doesn't matter at all? That you can make harsh rants just for the sake of making a rant (like calling Spielberg a greedy hack because he made "Shindler's List" in black and white) ?
There's a difference between someone who has never/almost never edited a film criticizing the editing of a major motion picture and someone who has repeatedly demonstrated his incompetence in the field doing the same, as in the later case the person has completely destroyed their own credibility on the subject. After all, "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt."
DeleteThis is the reason I don't take Doug Walker's movie reviews too seriously.
DeleteJust worth noting, this style of 'shaking' camera has been used for decades before Blair Witch.
DeleteIt's part of the documentary style, and faux-documentary cinema is a very old concept. Some of the biggest ones are films like Mondo Carne, or the infamous 80s 'video nasty' Cannibal Holocaust.
My point is, this isn't just some new thing, it's part of cinema convention. So why he gets so upset over this is just... weird...
Can someone tell me who this PewDiePie guy is?
ReplyDeleteWhile on the subject of PewDiePie, I still swear that guy got his name off of Pinkie Pie (at least, through the way he pronounces it with the first "I" silent) even though he says he doesn't know about ponies much.
DeleteThe reason you see Minecraft in YouTube's front page all the time :P

ReplyDeleteThe YKWBS on grass is nothing like the one on microwaves.
DeleteHe goes into a graphic description on how bovines eat grass and how it passes through their digestive system. Meaning grass becomes literal bullshit.
Yeah, I get the feeling you haven't actually watched the video.
DeleteI think it's more similar to the asshole video than the microwave video. It's silly, but he's not complaining about pointless stuff.
DeleteI watched the video and... wow. Now I feel stupid for complaining about this... sorry.
DeleteNext time, I will watch the videos before starting complaining.
@BatFlashLantern
DeleteOr like the "Up to Eleven" video, where he appears to be complaining about something pointless, but then points out that what he's saying is, in fact, bullshit.
@DrZulu2010
DeleteThat's something that more people need to practice. It's like how most people I know hate Justin Beiber though they've never heard his music. I was like that with Bores and I actually started watching the videos after reading this blog... then I stopped because it wasn't worth the headache.
@DrZulu2010
DeleteHumility in a comments section? Cool!
Bores uploaded his Lego Batman 2 video to YouTube. No changes.
ReplyDeleteFor once, Bores is being smart and not putting up his flaggable Sonic Generations review. Unless he plans to redo the entire thing with his own footage, but that would require him to actually play the game.
Well, I guess even he realizes that all he has to do to maintain partnership at this point is to stay off of YouTube's shit list.
Delete@BatDanNight
ReplyDeleteWouldn't that also require for him to actually WORK? Not likely.
So today I finally got blocked by mariotehloser, marking the third channel that's blocked me. Or fourth, if he's done so with his alt. account as well. I haven't checked yet.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I watched the first two parts of "To Boldly Flee". This one's actually really good, I have to say. COME AT ME, HATERS!
ReplyDeleteIf you want haters, go to Cinema Snob's site. The comment section's a mess over there Oo
DeleteWith this video, Chris has made the jump from buffoon to aggressively stupid/stupidly aggressive arsehole.
ReplyDeleteAnyone with the most basic knowledge of filmmaking would understand the use of quick cuts in establishing a crowd, a grandiose setting that is supposed to be presenting a situation as overwhelming and dizzying to it's protagonist.
Bores, you are a fucking idiot. There's not much else to say.
BTW, is it just me, or does Chris Bores has a lot in common with the infamous Kim Dotcom.
ReplyDeleteBoth have rather shady backgrounds. Both built their careers on legally dubious activities, which brought them notoriety and revenue. When they were exposed, both tried to play the victim card.
However, there is a key difference: Dotcom does know how to play video games.
Chris doesn't know how to play video games either.
DeleteWas anyone else aware of this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5g5IxOHx8qY&feature=related
ReplyDeleteYeah, that's been known about for a while. It was posted on his original "Y2B2006" channel.
DeleteHere's my recap of it here: http://irategamersucks.blogspot.com/2010/01/time-machine-that-removes-your-emotions.html
New GotGame review...Oh shit! It is a game released not to long ago. It is transformers: Fall of Cybertron. All he does mostly is gush over nostalgia. He claims the controls were improved upon from E3. He also says he likes the game for the action game play but not the sniper mission...that's about it. There are a couple unfunny jokes with Starscreamer. It is also obvious he has not played War of Cybertron otherwise he would a least give it a brief mention.
ReplyDeleteNot... horrendous but still lacking in detail as usual.
He did play War of Cybertron at E3 2010 but that was just a very small part.
DeleteAnyone heard of DSPgaming? I like to call him "The Irate Gamer of LP's".
ReplyDeleteI watched him... And I thought IJustine was a bad LPer.
DeleteI've seen the review and wow, it was dumb, especially the ending. First, Batman saying Game On, now Megatron? And seriously? Not going to mention other characters in the game like Jazz, Cliffjumper, Bruticus and Shockwave, the most fan-favorite Decepticon in the TF Universe?! And not going to mention the sniper missions and how as Cliffjumper, you can take out your enemies by using stealth?
ReplyDelete
