Here's a thought Bores, maybe you should clear out all the unwanted DVDs you have already before adding more and more of them? Maybe hold more contests giving them away for free since most of your fans would probably have to steal their parents credit cards to get them.
As you can probably tell from the title, he put out another DVD. History of Video Games "The Silver Age". *sighs* Chris, you realize that the Silver Age would refer to the third generation right? NES, Master System, Atari 7800. The Golden Age would refer to the era of the Atari 2600, Intellivison and so on. What your DVD covers is even older than the Golden Age, I wouldn't know what to refer to it as the Ages of Man start at Golden. Though knowing him, he probably got the name from comic books.
So calling the era of Pong, Computer Space and the Fairchild Channel F the Silver Age is horribly inaccurate. Unless he confused "predecessor" and "successor" again. This wouldn't surprise me.
So, what's on the DVD?
Parts 1-5 (which is six videos when you remember Part 2 is in two parts... unless he merged it for the DVD). A horrid value if you ask me.
A 15 minute documentary, I imagine it's the same thing that I recapped nearly two years ago. http://irategamersucks.blogspot.com/2011/03/historically-bad-making-of-or-interview.html
Bloopers because WACKY (it's been a long time since he's put out a blooper reel on YouTube, I wonder if it's still the same "stopping in the middle of a line" nonsense).
And deleted scenes, which I'm hoping were just stupid sketches and not actual history because leaving out history... boy what a hack.
I love how he advertises that it covers from 1961-1977, like that's a huge amount of time. Never mind that in the first video he went from '61 to '71. Sadly I'm sure someone will fall for this, like some Square-Enix fans fell for Final Fantasy: All the Bravest (look it up).
How much is Bores charging this time? Despite having less content than all his other DVDs, he prices it around the same, $15 dollars. Oh wait that's on sale, the regular price is $18 dollars. Double Fine's new game is out now, it's called The Cave, it's only $15 dollars on PSN, XBLA, Nintendo Network and PC. That is a better investment.
Hell, Wii U owners can get Balloon Fight for 30 cents right now. That's a better use of money.
You know, Bores has never capitalized on any of his possible catchphrases or characters. He never sold merch with them on it.
It's obvious Bores is doing all this for money, so where's the catchphrase shirts? The character shirts? Maybe a Wilson, I mean, Wilkins shirt, it's not like you'd get in trouble. ScrewAttack certainly didn't when they sold a shirt with Frog from Chrono Trigger on it and claimed it was a different character.
But no, just a generic ugly shirt with his logo on it.
Also, Bores updated his site to mention that his New Super Mario Bros. 2 review is out. Rather "The New Super Mario Bros 2". I'm beginning to think he's doing that on purpose just to annoy me.
That's all for now. I'm going to pour one out for THQ. They may have not been perfect, but Saints Row and Darksiders were all kinds of fun, and millions enjoyed their WWE titles.
EDIT: Oh look at that, a contest giving away the DVD. What a surprise.
In the video, he notes that he calls it the "Silver Age" because the "Golden Age" comes after it. You moron! That is not how that works! To put it another way, Golden Age comes first, Silver Age comes second, Bronze Age comes third. First, second, third place. How is that so hard?
He also added new fan art to his site. ... Joy. Hmmm, you know I think I can cover it here.
Oh man... Bores completely screwed the order now. He put his title cards in the fan art section now. Tell you what, I'll go by page number and picture to make things easier.
Page 4, Picture 10: Let's start off with a photoshop disaster. I hope you like shitty looking NES games. We get the cover, the back, and the cartridge.
The cover shows the title "The Irate Gamer Game". Say, remember that? How it got re-invented multiple times and never got anywhere outside of concept art? I suspect that those people were scam artists. The picture is Bores in front of fire, because his fans are just as unoriginal as he is.
The back cover contains a story description that I can barely read. It's tiny white text on a black background (already a bad sign) but it's also on top of Bores in a yellow shirt holding a Zapper. That's appealing.
Below the white text is yellow text describing what's in the game.
"Play as Chris Bores, Satan, Joey, and starting for the first time Ronnie" That last one sounds really awkward. Also, is it me or is the idea of playing as Satan really fucked up?
"Armed with a Zapper and a Game Genie to face the shit ahead" Did the artist not realize how stupid this sounded? If he has a Game Genie in the game, then the game is too fucking easy. I would think this was making fun of him if this wasn't so terrible.
"4 Megs of non-stop action featuring 26 levels of fuck" Each level is 5 minutes of Bores laughing at the fact you just bought this game.
The cartridge shows Mega Man sprite Bores in front of fire, and the game is just "The Irate Gamer". It also breaks the rules of NES cover art by having a cartridge that doesn't match with the box. As soon as I say this, I know my readers are going to point out games that don't have a matching cartridge label and box.
Page 4, Picture 11: ... Well, this is different. I know I've made fun of Bores' weight before, and I apologize for that, it was out of line. There's waaaay fatter people out there. However, I didn't think I would see this picture come to be.
What we have is an overly obese Irate Gamer, with a word balloon saying "Face it, candy is ruined!" The screwed-up side of deviantArt is leaking onto the site... besides Karbia.
One thing I can give it is that shows some effort, as in someone took time to actually draw an extremely fat Irate Gamer. ... This isn't fan art is it? I think the use of "x is ruined" gave that away.
Page 4, Picture 12: Chris, what have I said about putting vomit-inducing images on the site? This is unacceptable!
More shitty sprite work, more MS paint, you need to show some standards!
The picture shows IG holding two dildos (that's what they look like, I'm sorry) firing what looks like a lime-strawberry milkshake at the Pixel Demon. Other characters are firing stuff too, including Fire Flower Mario, Simon Belmont with a flame whip, Super Sonic, Dig Dug, and Bill Rizer & Mega Man standing on the body of a brown cow. What hurts it is the background, I think it's meant to be lava.
... Here's a drinking game for you. When browsing through his fan art, take a drink every time you see a picture with a fire background, or something similar to fire.
Page 4, Picture 13: Paper Bores? It looks like paper cut-outs (even though it's not) as Bores is holding up a Shy Guy while standing in front of another one. A tribute to Super Mario Bros. 2. Not really too much to say about this one.
Page 4, Picture 14: Are you tired of Mega Man sprites? TOO BAD! Here's another one. But this time it's Haunted Investigators related. ... Someone actually made Haunted Investigators fan art. This is Johnny Awesome again isn't it? The sprite work is really bad, way worse than what Karbia does.
In fact, I'm pretty sure that's Karbia's IG sprite. The other is Alan and wow I just... I've seen enough.
I know people are asking about the next Redux Recap. It all depends on what Bores does next, and I also don't like doing too many posts at once. I did that years ago and the quality suffered. Be patient.

Yep, not much new here. I'm beginning to think Bores is simply trying to make as much money as he can, now that his partnership is gone (or so I've been lead to believe).
ReplyDeleteOn another note, what are everyone's thoughts on the latest Nintendo Direct? I'm pretty pumped right now, I gotta say. Really curious to see how SMT X FE turns out.
My mind is still trying to process the sheer awesome of Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem. Good thing I have a Wii U already.
DeleteI also have to give props to Monolith Soft's new game (looks like Xenoblade 2) and Yoshi's Epic Yarn (not the official name, but it's the same artstyle).
Yeah. Monolith's new game looks totally badass, and I think Yarn Yoshi seems like a prime opportunity for the system to flex some of its graphical muscle. I'm also pretty hyped for Wonderful 101. That game just looks like an absolute joy to play.
DeleteIf wonder if this could potentially result in the Hito-Shura becoming a 3rd party character in the next Super Smash Bros.
DeleteHe's not a partner anymore? Since when? Don't get me wrong, if this is true I'm ecstatic, since that means he has one less leg to stand on, but where did you hear this?
DeleteAlso, so jealous of all those awesome Wii U games... I don't have one yet. Too expensive for me. And then Earthbound/Mother 2 is getting released on the Wii U VC in Japan... Sigh...
He's not a partner?
DeleteI'm not sure, really. I've just seen some speculation about it since his page changed. Might just be confusion about the new layout.
DeleteHe has partner
DeleteWell, wishful thinking, I guess. Anyway, I still think he's beginning to burn out, and is just throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks.
DeleteI well for Final Fantasy All the Bravest.
ReplyDeleteI regret it every day
I hope this wasn't too much of a financial loss.
DeleteWell everyone is fucking up their best franchises lately. Activison didn't fix the lag compensation, EA is making C&C online and making the same grind heavy piece of shit as Tiberium alliance and THQ well... you know...
DeleteHow can they let such talented people and ideas get wasted by changing the concept and design of the game? How can you make a final Fantasy game that doesn't even let you cast specific spells or even have a plot!?
I sure hope they churned the game for a budget of $10k. Anymore money than that would mean that they don't understand good game design... =(
@Kill Ultra
DeleteYeah, they are fucking up pretty bad these days. Still, at least those people are releasing SOMETHING. I don't get how Square Enix can release a "game" where you need to buy half the content. DLC is one thing, but come on.
@Doresh
All I can hope for is that they're at least punished a bit.
"Well everyone is fucking up their best franchises lately"
DeleteMy thoughts on Donkey Kong Country Returns and Mario Party 9 in a nutshell.
@Justin
DeleteI do agree about the Mario Party series, but what exactly didn't you like about Donkey Kong Country Returns? I know the game can be frustrating, and the motion controls don't always help, but I personally had a good time.
I'm not denying you your opinion; I just want to hear your side of the argument.
@J - Dog
Delete*Lack of Kremlings or any other recurring DK enemies
*Lack of any playable Kong members besides Donkey and Diddy
*Diddy being reduced to a power up
*No support Kong family members aside from Cranky
*No water levels
*No ice levels
*No animal buddies besides Rambi
*Donkey and Diddy not having their vastly superior Donkey Kong 64 voices
*Overworlds not explored in the same ways as the older games
*Lack of variety in Bonus levels
*Co-Op being just a ploy to quickly drain lives (why shared lives?)
*I found the concept of blowing to be very tedious and unnecessary
..And it should've took the graphics far beyond what the Wii could do, just like what the SNES trilogy was capable of.
DeleteDude, DKC Returns kicked ass! Yes, there were some elements I wished they brought back, but I'd say it's still a contender for best in the series.
DeleteRegarding:
Delete*Lack of Kremlings or any other recurring DK enemies
*Lack of any playable Kong members besides Donkey and Diddy
*No support Kong family members aside from Cranky
These are more likely to be Rare properties. The Kremlings and many side Kong characters are theirs.
I swear, DKCR was a beast to fully complete. People have asked me what the hardest part of it was, and all I say is "FLOATING FRUIT IN THE SKY".
DeleteThe toughest part was completing the time trial, thinking I had lost. I stared at the gold timer, reading 1:04:00. Then my time for the course appeared. 1:03:95. Never did I scream so loudly with joy in my life.
My opinions, on best DKC to worst, 1, 3, 2, R. All good games, but Returns felt more like a reboot to the series than an actual sequel.
DeleteKremlings are now Nintendo properties. After Microsoft bought Rare, anything Donkey Kong related was given to Nintendo. Kremlings were in DK: King of Swing and it's sequel on the DS, and Mario Super Sluggers featured Kritters and K. Rool as playable characters. Heck, Donkey Kong Barrel Blast, released three years prior, was more faithful to the Donkey Kong canon than Returns was.
@BigStoneRocks Nah, they still have the rights to other characters.
DeleteSeriously, though. Anyone who doesn't play the game over such minor complaints is doing themselves a HUGE disservice.
I'd probably rank them R, 2, 1, 3. I liked 3 well enough, but I got the first ending within the day I bought it, it didn't pose much of a challenge until the lost world, Kiddy was nowhere near as good a sidekick as Diddy or Dixie, it didn't have Rambi OR Winky/Rattly, the music just wasn't as good as in any of the other games, including Returns, and most of the levels were rather sedated in color. 1 was the one I grew up with, so it holds a special place in my heart, but I don't think the levels and bosses showed quite as much variety as in 2. 2 improved on 1 in almost every category, with the exception of having to pay for everything, which sucked. Returns had solid level variety with beautiful graphics (even if they weren't completely revolutionary, but you can't expect them to reinvent the wheel every time), had the ball-busting difficulty of 2 without the life and save point starvation, had overall tighter controls, a soundtrack that, while borrowing from the first game, actually had GOOD remixes and still some solid original pieces, and a solid co-op mode that game some of the leeway of the newer 2d Marios (You could revive your partner as long as you had lives) while still punishing carelessness (hence the shared lives).
DeleteOn a good note, Part 4 of The Video Game Years 1980:
ReplyDeletehttp://retrowaretv.com/the-video-game-years-1980-pt-4-80s-arcades-zork-game-watch-warlords-rally-x/
"Also, Bores updated his site to mention that his New Super Mario Bros. 2 review is out."
ReplyDeleteAnd the link doesn't work!
Calling this Silver Age is a bit weird considering he's starting at the beginning. Heck, there aren't enough Ages for all proper console generations, so he shouldn't just skip one.
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah, he probably got that from comic books, since 1961-1977 is right at the end of the Silver and the start of the Bronze Age.
Suffice to say, I don't think he knows what "Silver Age" actually means...
If he did get it from comic books then he should be calling it the "Gold Age" of Video Games as that's how it works for comics. Good age is the start, Silver age was when it came into it's own and then Bronze age after the death of Gwen Stacy and so on.
DeleteI can't believe nobody bought Vigil from THQ, Darksiders 2 was one of the best games of 2012. I guess the franchise is over now.
ReplyDeleteNo word on Darksiders yet, but many of the other franchises have already been snapped up. WWE has gone to 2K Games, South Park has gone to Ubisoft, Koch has Saints Row and Metro, Crytek bought Homefront which can only be good news, and Sega bought Relic Entertainment who produced the last Warhammer game. It'll probably only be a matter of time before Vigil is bought out as well, though hopefully not by EA or Activision.
DeleteMaybe Atlus could get the game...
DeleteOH GOD NO! SEGA GOT COH AND DOW!!! WHYYYYYYYYYY!!!!????
DeleteFor those who don't understand, Sega is not exactly that guy who handles RTS. They've made hung out many RTS to die like Universe at war and Stormrise. They have worked in the niche 4X market with Total war though its RTS components are more a less an arcade game. ARGH DAMN IT ALL
I'm sure Chris was smart enough to remove all the footage he stole from that documentary...right?
ReplyDeleteI'd watch it just to see if he did. I'm nit about to waste my money and find out though...
DeleteIs it possible to upload a DVD's data to the Internet? Maybe someone could sacrifice $15 for the sake of guaranteeing no one else would have to.
15 Dollars a DVD, that's more extortion than a favor of dropping it a few. Just as bad as the Cinema Snob movie on DVD.
ReplyDeleteWhatever one may thing about the Snob, at the very least, it's an actual movie, not a collection of Youtube clips.
DeleteAnd 15 Dollars, what's that in Euros? Around 12 or so? I got Marvel's Avengers for LESS than this.
Wait which one?
Deletehttp://www.imdb.com/title/tt2262221/
the one here has good ratings... from like 150 people.
Heck, if it's anything like his other stuff (which his highly likely), I'll probably enjoy it as well. Too bad I don't have a credit card <_<
Deletehttp://youtu.be/bqTQTH0t0p8
ReplyDeleteJust did my first commentary on The Bores.
hmm you didn't seem to make that much of a commentary on his work. Don't know how you're gonna survive the inevitable copyright claim
DeleteOh hey batdan, you took the comments off moderation? The more I thought about having the comments on moderation the more I realized that it could actually help keep the blog more clean and deter the trolls who deserve to not have their comments posted. It's not you were abusing the crap out out of it and you filtered out about a dozen shitty comments anyway.
ReplyDeleteTrue. It's been nice commenting here (lord knows we need to occupy ourselves what with how slow Chris has been) without people starting huge flame wars. The last thing we need is Batdan leaving again.
DeleteIn other news, Batdan, have you considered doing another redux/recap soon? It's been a while.
$15 for a bad interpretation of video game history? Chris is really desperate now. I'm not sure if he lost his partnership, but I believe it if he did. I'm trying not to think about that. So far, it's been a slow year, though the New Super Mario Bros. 2 review did come out a bit sooner than the Bud Bowl Irate the 80s did last year. Still, that isn't saying much given that he barely talked about the game and will probably take months to get out a video less than 15 minutes when Channel Awesome contributors can get one that can be up to 45 minutes in a week. Anyway, I got some new DVDs I can watch today. See you later, Dan.
ReplyDeletei bet he left the stolen footage in this dvd just like how he did in his very first dvd with the back to the future footage and if he does i bet nothing is gonna happen to him since he got away with it on his first dvd who wants to be he will get away with it again and such and it sucks that he gets away with everything
ReplyDeleteI think the problem with that is his obscurity. He and his fans will tell you otherwise, but he's not quite as well known as he thinks. Most people don't know who he is, let alone he releases DVDs.
DeleteNow if someone were willing to sacrifice $15 to see if he used the stolen footage, then let the owners of said footage know it's been stolen, well... I admit I'm a fairly optimistic person, but that'd probably get something done.
Mega Man sprites are pretty much the 'Turn yourself into a South Park' character of the video game fanart word.
ReplyDeleteMy... GOD, he's so uncomfortable during the contest video. It may be the most painful-to-watch thing I've seen of his. It feels like he couldn't be bothered to script anything and just went in front of the camera with a rough list in his mind of points that he wanted to cover. Was he honestly unable to tell how the finished product looks to someone else?
ReplyDeleteAnd he closes with "2013 is my year." (GOOGLES CRYOGENIC LABS IN THE AREA)
Irate Gamer Discs along with Irate the 80's: US$70.90. That's the reason he's not getting money!
ReplyDeleteIs there anything wrong with MS Paint?
ReplyDeleteIf used correctly, it can make art.
DeleteIf used improperly, it can cause travesties.
I can't find anything about a ScrewAttack shirt with Frog on it. Where'd you get that info?
ReplyDeletehttp://www.screwattackstore.com/liag-bitch.html
DeleteIt claims to be a different character, but it's clearly Frog.
Okay, there is no way they're serious. There is no way. It is so obviously a character from a cult SNES game, later a million+ selling DS port.
Delete...Seriously?
DeleteThey make a shirt like that and have the absolute GALL to claim it's an original character? They're basically on the same level as Bores. What losers.
This is the same company that somehow got away with naming themeselves after an item in Metroid, all because they removed the space in the name.
DeleteCrazy amount of luck.
The difference is that they have repeatedly and openly stated where they got the name from. It's a pretty significant difference, I think.
Delete... Guys, you might want to see his latest video. It's... oh boy.
ReplyDeleteThat may the funniest video I've seen from Bores since... ever. Also, I really don't think Asalieri and Archfiend are huge Bores fans, they just hate James even more.
DeleteI have no memory of TheArchfiend sticking up for Bores.
DeleteMuch of this needs to be put in context for me, a fairly new Boreshater... certainly *coughRobtheRobot* baffles me.
Delete@Harrod: I've been lurking here a while and I have no idea what that meant.
DeletePerhaps the Rob thing was his attempt at comedy making him look like a "hardcore" gamer by coughing "robtherobot"
DeleteI don't get it. I know there's an emotion or thought I'm supposed to have for this, but I don't know what.
DeleteI've seen the newest vid and......I actually feel like vomiting. I really do.
Deleteu mad?
DeleteI'm sorry, but am I the only one who is completely fucking PISSED OFF at that LYING, POMPOUS, COWARDLY, DOUCHEBAGGY, OPPORTUNISTIC, POSER?! I try not to get too riled up over this shit, but this BUTT MUPPET has the NERVE to act like he now has some sort of moral high ground. And he still acts like he's totally clean here, still not actually saying any names like a goddamn PUSSY! Maybe it's just because I just got home from a bar, but COME THE FUCK ON!
Delete...Alright, I'm chill now. Geez. Been a while since something's set me off like that. Even so, I gotta say here: Props to James Rolfe for keeping above all this shit. Before, and probably since this mess started, he totally could have rallied his fanbase in some stupid hate campaign against Bores, and it probably would have worked. After all, I'll admit he does have a reasonable number of devoted fanboys who would go for something like. Or hell, he could just make a simple video slamming Bores far worse than Bores "owned" him. But no. He just keeps on trucking, making his movie, making his videos, and all that other shit. Because despite all his grandstanding, Bores is a total nothing. Even more of a nothing than he was when he was the 52nd most subscribed channel on YouTube. And the same goes for Bores' new best butt buddies. I'm not saying James Rolfe is infallible, or a God, or whatever the fan haters think I think of him, but the fact is that all that he's done means more to more people than all of these douchebags combined could ever hope to amount to.
DeleteI wonder what the response from Asa and co will be?
Delete@Fattoler
DeleteGiven that we got trolled shortly afterwards, its a good bet that Irate Gamer is timing this with Asa and his group. Oh well at least people will just prove our point that Irate Gamer is still relevant and still trolling people.
What happened in this latest video? I choose not to watch his crap, so I'm basically in the dark unless I read it from this blog.
DeleteAnd since when did Asa and Arch buddy up with Norman Bores? I thought they hated him. I guess I'm just out of the loop...
@skyrunner
DeleteI'm not sure, but given by the lack of comments that point out Arch being a dumbass, Arch did the smart thing and stopped.
Alot of people are campaigning and acting like IG is innocent in all this. All it started with the cheetah men scandal (which backfired because that made people donate even more) and escalated with the AVGN movie. Apparently the evidence is a fake IMBD page that lists the budget as less than the donation amount. Seeing as how Asa was the first to point that out and conveniently ignore the fact that its an editable source, he probably did it.
Asa "allied" with Irate Gamer when IG made the spoof video. Because if its anything Asa is good at, its being a hypocrite who allies with other hypocrites when convenient. Its not like Asa actually like Irate Gamer (he doesn't) he just wants to make AVGN look like the loser in all this.
IG, you can act high and mighty all you want but you are STILL a nobody outside Youtube and Gotgame.
DeleteAnd LadyBuggin, we know it could be you who asked your beloved son to make that video so that you can annoy the IG Sucks Blog again. Continue bashing and annoying the hell out of us all you want but it's funny that Bores is giving a big Thank you to Asa and Archfiend and yet he doesn't thank YOU. XD
Brainstorm: Could "COUGHRobtheRobot" refer to the fact that he reviewed R.O.B. before AVGN did, so in Bores' mind this somehow nullifies accusations of plagiarism?
Delete...um, where is this new video? I don't know where to look. Grumble grumble.
Deletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uazM2fgN57o
DeleteI would have said his R.O.B. remark was relating to Silent Rob. Then again that's probably too clever for Bores so I'd say it's his counter charge to plagiarism.
DeleteThis is the problem with Chris; he still believes that people are gunning for him on the charge of copying AVGN. Which frankly hasn't been the case for most of the people who call Chris out on things since 2009. No, the reason why people are ragging on Chris is because he is unfunny, gets his facts wrong repeatedly, is a bad actor, has an ego the size of Texas and hypes his own product up as though it's the greatest thing since sliced bread, has an atrocious work ethic which leads to sporadic bursts of short videos which feel lacklustre, and to cap it all off he has the gall to charge people money for a 15+ minute documentary with some minor bloopers. Heck, Ashen's DVD had three hours of footage plus 20 minutes of extra stuff (including unseen reviews) and had a lanyard for less than what Bore's charged for.
I have read reviews for Final Fantasy All the Bravest and all of them are BAD. Using actual money to revive your party members? Definitely a scam.
ReplyDeleteLooks like Square-Enix is now learning business practices from Activision.
And EA! Can't forget them. Oh, and Capcom as well!
Delete...Man, when did video game companies start sucking?
What a negative blog.
ReplyDeleteSo I imagine there will be a lot more troll attacks on the blog this much
Delete*month
DeleteExplain to me how I am a troll?
DeleteNegative is a relative term and quite frankly if you want to say this blog is negative, then you obviously don't know why and have been taking too many asa pills. Assuming that you're not taking Asa pills then you're clearly just judging the blog (and everyone on it) by its title like a dozen other people we get every week. Either way its become the equivalent of walking into a jewish town and telling everyone that their beliefs suck and they're stupid money hoarding bastards who need to go away.
DeleteWe're sick of it and if you can't even resist the urge to judge someone after less than a months worth of research then you are certainly a troll who's only doing this for the reaction.
I'll give you points for being grammatically correct and not devolving into slurs and the like, but if you're really NOT a troll, give us more detail.
DeleteWHY is this blog negative? Did you even read it, or did you go to the newest article just for the sole purpose of saying this?
Honestly, there's nothing wrong with stating an opinion, provided you're civil about it (which you were for the most part), but if you don't want to be labeled as a troll, you'll have to explain yourself.
@Skyrunner
Deletemy problem is with the word used. Negative and positive are words used to describe an abnormal outlook. By saying we're negative, he/she is implying that they're normal and that our opinions are abnormally depressing. This causes an implication that a normal person would be okay with what bore's is doing and accept his lulzy behavior wholesale.
Of course since his statement is so damn short it could be anything... even a boat! I always wanted one of those!
I have to give you guys credit, you managed to type out several paragraphs in reply to FOUR worded comment I left, Im not sure if that's impressive or sad. Though Im sure you lot have gotten plenty of practice when it comes to dealing with ''trolls''(not calling myself a troll but I think you get what I mean).
DeleteSo it would seem there's been some confusion to post I left and what it actually means. I didn't think I would have to explain myself because to be frank I thought the comment spoke for itself really, but seeing as one of you managed to say my post was the equivalent of bashing the entire Jewish religion(don't know what sort of bizzarro world one must live in to come up with that conclusion), I guess Id better explain it:
By negative I meant, the entire blog is always being negative about one guy, rarely is there ever any positivity here(maybe in the comments but I don't have the time to read them.) Heck, just read the name of this entire blog ''Irate Gamer SUCKS'' do I need to spell it out anymore?
I'm sure I'm going to be called a ''troll'' or an IrateGamer fanboy, but I don't care, I just feel this blog is far too negative. Now I'm sure you'll say ''But there's nothing positive about the Irate Gamer'' I'm not going to say you have to like the Irate Gamer, but it's been 6 years, do you not think you have made your point with this blog? The hatred for the Irate Gamer is no longer relevant and necessary. It's time to move on.
That's all I have to say, good day.
I await your replies.
"my post was the equivalent of bashing the entire Jewish religion"
Deleteand you didn't even fully read my comment.
"but I don't care"
"I await your replies"
That makes no sense. You don't want to be a troll but you want attention.
"but it's been 6 years, do you not think you have made your point with this blog"
And if we did make the point then so what? Move on while IG still does his stupid shit unabated?
"maybe in the comments but I don't have the time to read them"
The point of my comment is that you do not understand the culture, it was not a godwin's law argument. It's a simple and easy to understand argument. The argument is that people who do not understand what the subject matter is shouldn't be demanding changes.
I'm only going to respond to the last two point since the first two points you brought up were both screw-ups of mine.
DeleteSo onto your first point(technically third):
This blog has made it's point, there's nothing else for this blog prove, it's already got hundreds of people giving thumbs down and saying the same generic things like ''AVGN rip-off'' ''AVGN came first'' on his videos so even if this blog ceased to exist, people would still give Bores crap. So I don't really see the point of it anymore.
As for your final point:
I've been following this blog for a couple of years now(I used to enjoy readng it) , just never felt the need to post anything. I'm not just saying this, I'm sure if there was some way to prove who views this blog, I'd appear somewhere on that list. I'm not judging this blog just by its name, I've read the majority of the articles on this website.Now though as I've grown older and wiser, I realised this blog is unnecessarily hating on one man(and even his fans, this article for example, how the entire ending portion of the article is spent laughing and mocking at fan art. I have nothing against critiquing art but I feel the art isn't be critiqued here, its being ridiculed. Im sure Bores is proud of any fan art, as would I, no matter how bad it looks, if someone put the effort time, no matter how little, to draw me some fanart, I'd appreciate it).
Again, I await your replies, because I have nothing better to do on my Saturday night.
@Brandon Regan:
Deletenegative = "always being negative towards one person"
If you wanted to say this, why didn't you say so in your first post?
"All I have to say" + "Good Bye" + "I await your replies" = What Oo ?
Brandon talks about how "negative" we are towards one person. OK, cool. But then he goes on to write several paragraphs for the sole purpose of being "negative" towards us, especially after claiming WE wrote several paragraphs ourselves.
DeleteSmell that, guys? That's the smell of hypocrisy at it's finest.
Also, I take back the points I gave you earlier. Your spelling and grammar in your multi-paragragh spiel were atrocious.
But good day to you, anyway.
Someone on the Irate Gamer Sucks blog calls someone else a hypocrite, now THAT'S hypocrisy.
Delete@Brandon:
DeleteDoesn't that mean we're already hypocrites? Your posts are confusing.
So basically we're hypocrites calling out a hypocrite on what you consider a site full of hypocrites.
DeleteINCEPTION
@skyrunner14:
DeleteWouldn't that be "hypoception" according to the meme?
(Then again, Inception would then be called "Dreamception", so whatever)
In his newest video Bores claims he doesn’t like getting involved in drama. Bullshit. He is LOVING this. Now more people are bashing AVGN, Chris finally thinks people are on his side and he has support. He is like a kid who suddenly joins a gang of bullies beating up another kid.
ReplyDeleteNorman Bores doesn't like drama?
ReplyDeleteBWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...
Yeah, Boring Man, I TOTALLY believe you can't stand drama. That's exactly the reason you made that video slamming James during that whole Cheetahmen debacle. Yeah, no drama for this momma's boy, nosiree!
Excuse me skyrunner14?
ReplyDeleteCan't you read the title of this site itself? "The Irate Gamer Sucks". If that's not negative, I don't know what is. All of you relentlessly call Chris names and post "negative" things about him. I wouldn't classify this place as a positive place in the slightest.
Unless you consider putting Chris down as "constructive criticism", then just go on your way of being negative people.
Hello Rodney, how are you these days? :D
DeleteSo you're saying we can't perform constructive criticism? At least not without a title the posters on this blog have no control over?
Delete"But sure, you can call me an r'tard though cus that's what I am" - Rodney Renolds
DeleteOh okay then, I'll just look away from the drunk posting troll.
Rodney, there's only one person who can complain about negativity, and that's Oddball, and you're not him.
DeleteHi long time reader, first time poster.
DeleteOn this negative kick that seems to be going, I have to agree with Rodney and Brandon. This is a really negative place. Let me first say I love this blog. I think its the funniest thing ever, but sometimes the comments and actions done by followers of this blog is kinda harsh. You (collectively) rag on him for things other than his Irate Gamer persona/everthing else related to it. He had a wedding photography site (or whatever), seprate from his Irate stuff and every went off how it probably 'sucks like his vids, OMG he has his number on there' etc. You make fun of his weight, his fanart, his beleifs, and people who are actively trying to troll him (I remember someone who tried to get info from him or do a fake interview or something to that point) and I'm not saying anyone dispatched someone to do it, but those people post what they do here. You insult him(not his persona) on the regular and get mad when people such as Brandon says not 'oh you guy are AVGN fags' etc but just saying his opinion on this blog as you do to Chris's everyday life. He said it was negative, not this blog sucks, not you guys are troll, and gave an actual response to your comments rather than trololololo(paraphasing). Just saying, also about the word negative it self, not that you thoughts are negative, but you basicly putting down a guy for doing his own thing, you can critic it, but man people who come here basicly say 'Fuck Bores, I hate him, Fatass, Dumbass' etc not constructive criticism just insults. Just Saiyan-jin
Oh and as an after thought, I'm not saying everyone who comments here does it. Most comments are just on the vid, the post, or theLadybuggin/Bores craziness, and sometimes just casual chatting. That being said, there are still some here just to hate, and that hate is, at most times, out of line.
DeleteYeah I have to agree with the hate part. Some comments do get out of hand (seriously no telling bores to go kill himself m'kay?) but to be honest there's no one who's truly fanatic about their hate. I've expressed comments that bore's is good (and his first few videos were corny good) but its his attitude and inability to keep his fanbase in check that ruins him wholesale. Regardless its always important to remember a rule of the internet, 'never assume someone is doing more than what's immediately apparent'. Just I because regularly post here doesn't mean anything other than I just regularly post here. Likewise just because Rodney says he has nothing do Saturday night doesn't mean that he sitting there at his computer waiting for us to post sitting there like a vegetable. Just because the guys who made negative posts about IG doesn't mean they didn't know any legitimate complaints about him.
DeleteAlso lets not forget that relative to the opposition, we're being much nicer. Still I don't want to see the day this blog looks like the Encyclopedia dramatica article.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteYay, now I've been called a hater, along with being called a hypocrite and a troll. Surprisingly I was not called a fanboy yet.
Delete@Shaolin Dave
DeleteJesus! Irate gamer fans sure are employing some real fascist tactics. If this keeps up man, remember that this is the internet. You are not the better man for enduring harassment and leaving personal details (such as phone # and address) open to public view. Hope that shit stops and the police bring the low life responsible (bonus points if it was Irate Gamer doing it).
@Brandon
DeleteWho called you a hater?
He didn't directly say I was a hater but it was implied. One guy said "there are still some here just to hate" and Shaolin Dave said ''like Rodney and Brandon'' meaning I'm just here to hate, which implies I am a hater.
DeleteHe deleted his post, those that mean I'm no longer a hater?
DeleteThe line is meant to express the opinion that you're only here to hate. Which to be honest, that's what you've done. Your first comment here wasn't all that nice. Don't act like being implied a hater is rude when he could have been more direct like you are being.
Delete@ Mr.Kill Ultra
DeleteIt wasn't Bores harrassing me, let's kill that rumor before it starts.
I probably said too much in that comment so I've deleted it. That was the troll's goal the whole time, to make me talk about him, and I should have stuck with ignoring him. Everyone here really should do the same, eventually they'll go away.
I never found being called a hater rude, I actually thought it was quite funny. That being the reason why I said yay at the start of my post.
DeleteHey Shaolin Dave! Look at me! I'm not a troll, do I look like I live under a bridge?
Delete@brandon
DeleteYeah I think that statement practically destroys your attempt to look like a sane person. Have fun wasting your Saturday.
I stopped being serious with this blog because when I posted my first comment(which I intended to be my only post, bet you lot are glad I've stayed!) I was called a troll, just because I was voicing my opinion, plus I never take any who calls another person a ''troll'' serious because calling someone a troll just sounds ridiculous to me.
DeleteMost people stop being serious with a blog when they never comment on it. Get started on that.
DeleteWait so you find this blog serious? How can anyone find a blog dedicated to ridiculing one guy, serious?
DeleteWait, didn't you just say you "stopped being serious with this blog", doesn't that mean you were serious before? Maybe you should answer that question then, since you're obviously serious about this blog again.
DeleteMe, I'm just killing time while my Boom Mat dries.
@Brandon Regan:
DeletePeople considered you a troll because your first post here was a single, short sentence that could be interpreted in various ways.
I still consider him a troll. None of his statements show that he even cares about the conversation and he repeatedly states he just wants attention.
DeleteHe also ignored the better half of Shaolin Dave's comment and then wrote another one that is basically a laugh at Shaolin Dave's expense.
I wish we had a ban button here, because quite frankly these trolls aren't even amusing to make fun of.
I never said I didn't like drama. Bores did. I love drama. I love when Bores gets stuck at the butt end of this drama. It keeps me happy.
DeleteI don’t really get the hate surrounding James asking his fans for money for the movie. Over the last couple of years, he has provided us with a shit load of free video game reviews, tons of different free movie review (Godzilla, Monster Madness, etc) and now he is giving his fans a CHOICE to donate towards making a movie, which is one of his lifelong dreams, he is suddenly a bad guy?
ReplyDeleteI understand the Cheetahman 2 scandal and I can’t really defend him there, but the other people involved won’t get blamed because the bashers won’t get any views or attention otherwise.
I'm making some games with my own money. If a bunch of people come along and offer to pay $250,000+ for what I was doing for free already, knowing that I will do it for free anyway, I'm not going to say "No". None of the people criticizing James over his movie would, either.
DeleteAs for the Cheetahmen thing, yeah it's a scam but it's Greg Pabich's scam, not James's. The worse James did was fall for Pabich's lies, twice, but at least James isn't making a single cent off it.
The way I look at it, to a guy who has paid hundreds of dollars in the past to play rare, shitty video games, 40 bucks for a repo cart that no one else wants to make probably seems like a good deal.
Delete@ lordlaharl
DeleteJames thought it was a shitty deal too, until Pabich "explained the cost" to him.
He should know better, but no one will tell him without also insulting him and accusing him of several crimes he never committed.
Do we know for a fact that James accepted money to be in the C2 Kickstarter video? In that event, he probably had some responsibility to vet the integrity of the project. Also, was the C2 Kickstarter offer outed as truly dishonest? Like, something where the contributors do not get everything they were promised? Or is it just dubious that the cartridges cost that much?
Delete@Harrod
DeleteIn my opinion, this is the answer/problem outline.
"But Greg is just pocketing the money by making a cheap as nails product and selling it"
Problem: Well if this were case, that would mean we would have to assume that the cost of renting a factory, customizing the manufacturing line, and running it, shipping costs and labor divisions are null. Unless Greg is making the cartridges by hand (and that's doubtful since he had 300+ orders to fill), Greg is obviously using a good portion of the money. Regardless there are so many Kickstarters that if you didn't like this one you could have spent your 200 bucks ensuring you get planetary annihilation or FTL or another really kickass game. KickStarter is about starting a business or a brand, its not a charity.
"But its cheetahmen, its such a bad game that its scam to go buy it"
Problem: 300+ ORDERS! Obviously this can't be AVGN's fault. AVGN said the game sucked and everyone else knows the game sucked. You couldn't have invested money to buy the damn game (and a T-shirt) for 200+ dollars to play something horrible unintentionally. Everyone who knows AVGN would know his review of Cheetahmen. Cheetahmen is a 2 level long game that's shitty, poorly made and no amount of polish will fix that!
"But AVGN is pocketing the money too"
Problem: Uh... so what? AVGN is a smart guy and he knows his Fans are smart too. At best this 'scam' only hit 1% of his fanbase. AVGN has always encouraged his fanbase to not be dumbasses. Hell he even said in his FAQ (the older one) that "If you take my reviews seriously, you are missing the whole point. Think for yourself.". If he's pocketing the money then good for him because that means at least he's making some money from a portion of dumbest idiots in existence.
"The entire deal is a scam!"
Problem: Scam implies that nothing came out of it and Greg didn't do anything. Except Greg stuck up to his end of the deal and gave everything he promised to the letter. Most of the people who bought the Cheetahmen 2 game are the people who are complaining about it now!
If Bores gets enough of a backlog of unsold copies of his dvds and other merchandise, he could probably build a small house out of his dvds. Perhaps use his unsold t-shirts as curtains? :P
ReplyDeleteOh I'm just as mad as I was at the e-begging spoof now. Fuck his newest video. Jeez...
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, he is totally not in for the money - which is why he wants $15 for free Youtube clips that aren't even 15 minutes long in total.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm pretty sure this fat Bores picture is supposed to be Majin Boo after swallowing the Irate Gamer. Whatever.
BTW guys Batdanmn on youtube has spent the last 3 hours I believe quoting your comments on his channel.
ReplyDeleteFunny how they usually call US sad losers without a life.
DeleteAh, the classic rule of double standards. If it's you, it's no problem. If it's someone else, OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!1!
DeleteSilly people.
Wow, in the past three hours I've comment on this blog, fixed a faucet in my new house, replaced a rear view mirror and insulated my car door, and bought my nephew a birthday gift.
DeleteSo tell me, do you think Asa, Arch, and that other guy feel any shame after this? I don't expect any of them to back down about their Ebegger horseshit, but at the very least I hope they realize just how much they're enabling Bores to keep on being an arrogant dick.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't care less. All they have is words after all, and when they're being completely ignored by the person they're criticizing, does it really matter? No. Not at all.
DeleteThey're all a bunch or narcissistic hypocrites anyway. They lost their shame years ago.
Hey BatDan, you should look at this: http://stupidfilter.org/main/index.php?n=Main.About
ReplyDeleteIt could help out around here against all the silly people.
That's an attack on free speech. People have a right to say what they want. It's unfair to stop them just because it's 'wrong', or you disagree with it.
DeleteI agree, while there is such a thing as hate speech and criminal intent, the device only checks for certain word use and sentence construction. The device thus cannot be employed since it just checks for grammar errors (which doesn't matter since anyone can type fuck you) and buzz words (which doesn't matter since someone can type F you).
DeleteWe can only dream about living in a world where people can properly express themselves and we don't have to read tons of comments about people who just don't get it.
Still awaiting for the wall of BAWWW, batty. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI refuse to see the new Boring Man video.
ReplyDeleteCan anyone on here fill me in with a summary on what happened?
He says he doesn't want to be involved in internet drama (lol), calls his haters hypocrites, gives a shout-out to some suck-ups, and bashes James once again.
DeleteA strange part is that he portrays himself as some kind of gentle pacifist.
DeleteSeeing how he doesn't want to use martial arts choreography in his videos anymore because he uses martial arts "for meditation" makes me a little bit suspicious about the image he's trying to portray here.
(Those email responses of him "owning" people don't help, either)
If he truly is some kind of modern-day monk, why isn't is show more like what Happy Video Game Nerd and Roo are doing (aka positive video reviews)?
He's so enlightened and serene, he can't even pronounce "frustrating."
DeleteHe's such a nice guy, he gave ET a nice resting place ET could call home!
DeleteHe's such a nice guy he blew the head off of the predator in a heavily plagiarized shot.
He's such a nice guy his schedule is ignored knowing full well that causes an overactive and overzealous fanbase. What a nice guy!
This was my comment on IG's new video (I accidently made it into two comments, but that's not important):
ReplyDelete"I've always made a point to stay out of YouTube drama."
Be careful what you say Chris, or you could be attacked by cheeta - I mean, Pixel Demons!
Interesting
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qF2Y0uvy_qY
Daring of this guy to do especially with the current state of the IG fanbase
Oh boy.
ReplyDeleteThree more hours of Asa and Emer on Google Hangouts.
not even ten seconds in and "AVGN *cha-ching*".
Here's to hoping they don't go overboard with it this time.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71eypJeWQ1k
If AVGN never got shit for the e-begging and Cheetahman 2 videos, Bores wouldn’t have had the balls to say anything. For all the years he has been doing his show, he never once spoke out against AVGN or anything like that. It’s got to be more of a coincidence.
ReplyDeleteHe has just found the perfect opportunity and decided to take advantage of it. That's all. He saw that James was in a negative light (again) and decided it would be the perfect (and safest) opportunity to look like the better man after all of these years and win over a few of his critics, never mind his own faults.
DeleteUnfortunately, I doubt this will be the last video he makes on the subject. Trust me, this is the best thing that has happened to him in a while, he wont let go.
I wonder if he will take advantage of this positive surge and make more frequent content? Probably not.
Other than that incident where Mike posted the message from Bores to James on a forum I don't believe James once ever did any sort of sneaky tactics to Bores. It's straight from Bores too, it's not him as the Irate Gamer, it's Chris Bores attacking James. He's such a little bitch. I can't stand people like him who take any opportunity they can to bring others down. What bitter bitter little man.
Delete@chooseyourdisplay:
DeleteIt's quite surreal how people applaud Bores for basically kicking James while he's still lying on the ground Oo
Goodnight folks.
ReplyDeleteI'm watching the shout-out video right now. I don't know why, Bores looked and spoke like he was drunk. Least when a TGWTG contributor or James does a video as themselves, they do use a different manner of speaking than their characters. Bores and IG seem almost indistinguishable. I also find it weird that he felt a need to use effects for transitions even in a simple shout-out video. The way he spoke about the "haters" and pointed out Asalieri and Archfiend (I have never heard of this Mr. Weenie Productions before today); he's at least acknowledging the criticism he's getting, though he still seemed indignant about it. Given how I laughed when he claimed he "stayed out of YouTube drama", my claim of him as a candidate for this generation's Ed Wood still stands.
ReplyDeleteI don't think that's a fair comparison at all. Ed Wood gave every indication of being in the business for his love of making movies, not any desire to make money off it.
DeleteYou're right. Depending on how long it takes to get the next video out and how bad it is, I'm considering retiring the Ed Wood hyperbole. What I meant was that both Wood and Bores had their intentions, but their scopes as filmmakers was outweighed by their incompetence as filmmakers. Having said this, Wood was the subject of my favorite Tim Burton movie and Bores may finally slip into obscurity this year.
DeleteAlmost indistinguishable? The Irage Gamer is a hateful, lecherous creature who only causes pain, suffering and death to his friends and video game characters for no good reason.
DeleteHis previous non-IG videos show his character in a similar light (save for Haunted Investigators. That's just boring).
This shout-out is Bores trying to come across as he sane, polite guy.
Didn't know he CAN act, after all.
Eh, it's the same brand of smug "humility"
Deletewe saw in the 200th video celebration.
I love the hypocrisy in this shoutout video. How he threw in a little jab at James even though he wants to stay out of YouTube drama. What a douche. Like you said, there's nothing indistinguishable between Bores and IG and that's a very scary thing. If that's really how he acts in real life he's a horrible person.
DeleteWhen I look at James Rolfe I don't see AVGN. I see a man who loves to do movies and seems like a genuinely nice guy. Not the most perfect person in the world especially when he's attached to Mike Matei but James and AVGN are clearly two separate entities. I don't see that in IG and Bores. All I see from both IG and Bores is a very bitter sociopath. He loves himself too much and his fans just feed his ego. This latest shoutout video, maybe if he took that jab at James out I wouldn't have been so upset with it. I'm not even angry about it, I'm upset. It's just a tasteless act on his part. Same goes with the whole Cheetahmen Kickstarter scandal. He took it on himself to take another jab at AVGN. It's not that I love AVGN or anything, it's just that there's no sympathy to give for IG. I'm glad James held tight and didn't come back with a "fuck you" video to Bores, though a small part of me wouldn't mind seeing that.
I really hope one day James just drops the whole AVGN character. He may lose a lot of revenue but all this bickering back and forth is just not the best way to lead a life. And drop Mike Matei too, I firmly believe he's another thing that's dragging James down.
Oh, get a load of this fresh batch of shit crockery. So some jackass in the comments on the latest video was all like "Wow, Chris, you know way more about AVGN than his fans ever will. Can you make a video about it?" and he replied "I would, but it would be more than 30 minutes long." Give me a break, Boring Man. Given how little he seems to actually understand the whole situation, the only way he could make a 30 minute video on the subject was if 28 minutes and 30 seconds of it consisted of non sequitur cutaway gags.
ReplyDeleteWell, we need to leave ample time for screen staring, passive aggressive gloating, reminders that he goes to E3, and failed attempts at subtlety.
DeleteI think "more than 30 minutes long" was his way of saying "That's WAY to much work".
DeleteIt's also telling how his response was NOT "Didn't I just tell you guys that I don't want to be involved in E-dramas?"
Yeah, pretty much. He's basically implying that he could totally make said 30 minute video and that it would totally "own" James Rolfe, but wouldn't be worth his "effort". In turn, he continues to look like a big man for his stupid fans without putting forth a token effort to actually address any part of the debate.
DeleteOne thing for Sure.
DeleteMr E.G is going to Rub Bores Belly as long as James Rolfe gets more hate.
Goes to show you how loathsome False Heroes can be.
So, just out of curiosity, I went ahead and checked IG's Social Blade, to see if his latest ploy for relevance was even remotely successful. On the one hand, it did net him the most daily subscribers he's seen all month. On the other, he still couldn't even break 100.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget the 40 subscribers he lost just a day before that.
DeleteYeah, I can say this was a backfire. After six years of acting indignant and blocking himself from all criticism after constantly getting basic facts wrong, taking months to get a video only a few minutes long out, and not being able to pronounce simple words correctly; this video just seems artificial. I still think he may have been drunk when he recorded it (he looked and sounded that way).
DeleteDo you guys think Chris will give up on IG this year?
Delete@J-Dog:
DeleteNow that everyone takes everything he says at face value? I don't think so.
Nah. From his newest contest video: "2013 is my year."
DeleteHe seems rather confident in continuing.
Of course, what one wants is usually quite different from one what gets.
DeleteMaybe this will be the year Bores screws up with no way of cleaning up the mess?
@skyrunner14
DeleteGiven the shit they've ignored, it would probably take a LOT for him to actually piss away the fans he has left.
@Lord laharl
DeleteI don't think bore's makes use of any fans. I don't see any fans in any of his videos! XD
Hey guys just went on to see how you're "old friend" Asa was doing, it appears he's still talking about you guys and here's the kicker on this one, remember when he said what you guys were doing was irrelevant and you shouldn't be doing this anymore here's what he said: "no. After all, IGSBlog was ALWAYS irrelevant." So let see if I get his logic straight its ok for him to talk about "irrelevant" things but not ok for anyone else to talk about "irrelevant" things. Smell that hyprocacy people.
ReplyDeleteThat's cool. People like Asa are fairly irrelevant too. I guess we can all be irrelevant together! :D
DeleteAlso, "your", not "you're", and "hypocrisy", not "hypocracy".
I presume we're irrelevant in that he doesn't bother to properly research his "enemies". From what I've seen in his comments, he seems to pick isolated cases or minority opinions over here and portray them as our general belief.
DeleteJust a quick example: Remember when a few of us jokingly suggested tricking Bores with a fake Kickstarter project? Asa seems to believe this was not a joke.
To all the people who believe Asa is in the right, you know what that is called?
DeleteQuote Minning
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallacy_of_quoting_out_of_context
You know, the type of stuff Conspiracy Nuts Love to do because it's the only thing they know.
@ Kiki Qhualqon
Delete"Asa loves Conspiracy Nuts because they're nice budget snack that has nice texture and high sodium content" - Kiki
Another method of quote mining is to simply edit the quote or end it before the statement is made. Both take it out of context obviously.
"Asa is in the right" - Kiki
I just thought about this, by the way. BatDan maintains this blog which talks about IG all the time. Just IG. By Liam's logic, this makes him irrelevant.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, Asa is pretty constant in his bashing of MORE than just one person. Wouldn't that make him even LESS relevant than BatDan?
Smell the hypocrisy indeed.
@Skyrunner Ouch, just noticed that oh well if that's all someone could take out of that, it still proves my point about his hypocrisy.
ReplyDeleteIndeed it does, fellow hypocrite! Keep on hypocriting it up in here!
DeleteI just saw an Archfiend video about how the YouTube layout ruined the contact system, and it turns out Archie isn't happy about being mentioned by IG. Quite the opposite, in fact. Make of this what you will. Do you think you'll cover this shout-out video, Dan? With all we've been saying about it?
ReplyDeleteNo, I will not cover the shout-out video.
Delete@BatDan
DeleteSmart move. Doing so will probably just open the floodgates for trolls.
@Steven
I didn't watch it because Archfiend makes me want to punch things, but I'm glad to see he at least has enough dignity to be disgusted by Bores trying to get all chummy with him.
Nevermind, watched a bit of it, he still isn't calling Bores on his shit. Just being even more of a hypocrite.
DeleteI saw the video too and yeah...he's becoming a bigger hypocrite than he already is.
DeleteI guess in the end, they're all content to agree with one another's bullshit so long as Bores can pretend everyone likes him now and the others can keep up their stupid crusade against "teh E baygurz".
DeleteYou know up close, Archfiend looks like an elderly Stuttering Craig. XD
Deletedaniel did u see his history of video games making of interview in it he mentions ralph baer responding and bragging about the odyssey and such if so ru gonna make a blog on it
ReplyDeletei know u dont want to make a blog on the shout out video but i believe u should since he makes himself seems such a hypocrite bc he mocks and stuff in it
ReplyDeleteNo Please Don't, all is gonna happen is that Asa is gonna Flame us and Incite more Troll Attacks.
DeleteI don't know if i should be sorry for Chris tough, yes he sink to a low when he made his "too lazy, dint knew the facts Spoof" video, but Asa most likely is only acting like he is cool in his book now, to get him on his side, since they seemed to have the same intentions and target now, and eventually back-stab him or dispose him later.
I wouldn't surprise me, something similar happened to the Game Boob.
You can only buy so much sympathy with staggering ignorance. And what happened with Game Boob anyway?
DeleteNow you've piequed my curiosity, Kiki. What happened exactly?
DeleteMy favorite part of the shoutout was Asa's response. He was once one of IG's biggest haters; making numerous videos about him over the years and constantly making fun of him every chance he got. Now that Bores has given him a shoutout, they're suddenly best friends?
ReplyDeleteAsa somehow became friends with Bores after the e-begging spoof video.
DeleteGoes to show you that evil people can unite as long as innocent people get's affected.
DeleteThat's what I find confusing: Most of those former haters (Asa included if I'm not entirelly wrong) take little to nothing back about what they said about Bores' content in the past. But somehow, after the e-begging spoof video, this is all yesterday's news because Bores is now the most awesome dude to hang around and they "respect him as a person".
DeleteHow this excuses his continuing lack of effort and hostily towards anyone noticing the errors he made in his research, I have no idea. This will certainly NOT improve now that everyone thinks he's the most awesome dude to hang around.
Besides, did the Three Kingdoms teach Asa nothing about intrigue? I'd be a bit more suspicious about the new and improved Bores.
[Little addendum here]
DeleteI also find it a little suspicious how Bores' new BFFs don't acknowledge his crappy merch, or his little practice of luring people into subscribing to with promises of a contest that sounds about as fair and honest than a German quiz channel (If you've never heard about these: Oh boy, are you in for a ride).
Wait a sec...
Luring people with a scam...
Lol, thank God James never did such a contest, or else they'd call him a sub-beggar.
Boy, Bores and co. have really hopped aboard the hypocrisy train, haven't they? Although I guess it's best not to talk about things that might attract Asalieri faster than magnets attracting metal.
DeleteObChannel: And I wonder if German quiz channels get the same level of reputations as GSN does here in America... or GameTV in Canada and Challenge in the UK?
