It's almost that time again. Where everything about the next year or two in gaming is revealed.
This year is going to be special as it's new console time. With Microsoft manage to win back the people after a disastrous reveal and the information that followed? Will Sony show what the PS4 is truly capable of? Will Nintendo finally give people a reason to buy Wii U, while reimbursing current owners with an Ambassador program similar to the 3DS? We'll just have to wait and see.
The chaos begins next Monday at 12 PM Eastern, 9 AM Pacific with Microsoft's conference. If the last two years are anything to go by, it's going to be a Kinect-tinted trainwreck.
Of course, Bores is going because GotGame is run by morons that won't pay for the actual talent to go. Aqualung? ReviewTechUSA? Yuriofwind? Give these people a chance and leave Bores in the dust.
I predict his videos will start going up the Monday after the event ends (June 17th), which at this point would be pointless since everything he'll cover will have been on the internet for days.
That's it for now. If your tolerance of console fanboys is low, avoid the internet next week.

I'm kind of surprised you haven't made a post about the fact there's actual proof now that Chris Bores really IS Buggin. Do you have something else planned for that?
ReplyDeletei didnt know about this what is the proof that u guys found out because i had a hunch from the beginning that he was pretending to be his mom the whole time?
DeleteDo you recall that guy who did the Batdan Sucks blog? Well, it turns out he was only pretending to be insane, and actually gained Bores' trust enough to be able to send him and Buggin an IP-tracking message, proving his identity.
DeleteYou can see that here: http://batdansucks.wordpress.com/2013/06/02/whoops-look-like-the-bosconian-spy-ship-got-away/
And to be honest, I think EVERYONE knew it was Bores the whole time, we just didn't have any kind of definitive proof until now.
Oh man. That means we all got trolled. Kudos to him for tricking all of us into thinking he was batshit insane.
DeleteUmmm...hang on. Not defending anyone here, but if Chris & his Mum live together (don't know if they do, but IF they do), their ip address would be the same regardless, wouldn't it?
DeleteWhat sort of person lives with his mother even as an adult? Unless Chris is actually financially poor...
DeleteIf chris lives together then that simply raises even more questions! Since IP addresses change from computer to computer so that would mean that Chris Bores and his mother use the SAME computer? Let's not even begin on how she has never been a video (haunted investigators doesn't count since chris moved outside of his house) or how LB and Irate Gamer couldn't even come up with that excuse in a short time frame.
DeleteEven if that's the case then it doesn't matter anymore, it might as well be Chris Bores as LB since he is literally allowing it to happen right in front him.
My sister and mum often share one of our computers (we have a laptop and a desktop at home). Sometimes I did too, when I lived there.
DeleteBtw Daniel do u have Skype if so do u want to be friends on there?
ReplyDeleteHopefully, he doesn't bash Nintendo for being kiddy this year.
ReplyDeleteWell considering what I've already heard of what is going to happen at E3 I'm not going to bother even watching the coverage. Nothing there will interest me since I abhor Microsoft and they most likely aren't going to change that sentiment, Sony I will wait on that one, and Nintendo probably won't even really have a conference so no reason to watch there.
ReplyDeleteAnd expect to see Chris praising the everlasting fuck out of the PS4 and Skylanders, given his Sony fanboyism... XD And I do agree with you, CrusaderRabbit-- let's hope Bores doesn't treat Nintendo like crap for being "kiddy" and "not adult enough".
ReplyDeleteConsidering his love of Skylanders, a game that is the definition of kiddy, the irony of that runs deeper then Lake Vostok.
DeleteSo far the only people who might get me to buy a WiiU are SEGA with Sonic Lost Worlds. The irony in that is earth-shattering...
ReplyDeleteI wonder if sega will ever make consoles again. They only lost the console wars because their idiot CEO decided to axe the dreamcast and to market the saturn.
DeleteCome on SEGA Jupiter!
DeleteYou think he'll even realize that Nintendo is doing their show online rather than holding a live show, or will he just claim that they're not doing anything this year like all the other uninformed halfwits out there?
ReplyDeleteOh so that's what is happening I didn't know since most people just say that Nintendo is just doing one for the press. Of course the internet is really not the best source of information.
DeleteWell, you can probably blame people without the attention spans to actually READ articles about their approach to E3 this year, as well as sensationalist gaming journalists who post misleading headlines like "Nintendo Skipping E3", with almost no context.
DeleteTo answer your question in more detail, Nintendo is holding an hour long Nintendo Direct on June 11, as well as holding smaller closed door conferences for the press and investors, and possibly a couple others, including a show dedicated to the new Pokemon game hosted on June 10 if my information is correct. Additionally, they'll have one of the larger show floors for game demos, which will be available to the general public through select Best Buy stores across the country, and presumably their own Nintendo World Store in New York City as well.
Man, I miss when that store was a pokemon center...
DeleteI hear the Pokémon selection is still there, in addition to broadening to the rest of Nintendo. I still think it's nonsense that Boring Man insists Nintendo is kiddy, yet can't get enough of Skylanders. I may be a nerd, but nerds do have to set boundaries somewhere.
DeleteYou know it's still funny how people go on about Nintendo being kiddy still and yet there are games to back up Nintendo being for the whole family. Anyone remember Kirby's Dreamland 3's final boss, how about Kirby 64, of course who could forget pokemon mystery dungeon explorers of time/darkness/sky. Yeah Nintendo is so kiddy NOT!
DeleteWell since it's getting near E3 I'm going to do something just for fun here, My E3 predictions. I predict Microsoft will not assuage peoples fears about the Xbox One and that the games would be the same old stuff they've been doing. Sony will have a better going with the PS4 but the price tag might not sit well with people. Nintendo is most likely going to have a lackluster conference and we will see the games they have already shown last time.
ReplyDeleteAlready wrong about Nintendo. We know that they'll have playable demos of the HD 3D Mario and Mario Kart, as well as footage of Smash Bros.
DeleteWell I did say it was just for fun.
DeleteI'm wagering on Nintendo's at least being a solid, if mostly predictable conference, since there's at least five or six games confirmed for Wii U that we haven't seen footage of yet, at least three of which we know we'll see at E3 first. And you never know when Nintendo will drop a surprise or two, like they did back in 2010. And of course, the 3DS is pretty much set until the end of this year to the beginning of next, but I bet we'll see a bit more footage of upcoming titles for it as well.
DeleteSony could go either way at this point. We at least know a few exclusives are coming to the PS4, and they're in a prime position to pick up a lot of the people that Microsoft has pissed off with the Xboned and all the cringe worthy bad news surrounding it. Then again, if the launches of the PS3 and the Vita have taught us anything, it's that no one can drop the ball like Sony does. Also, considering that this is the Vita's second post launch E3, unless they REALLY give people a reason to buy it (the PS4 does not count as a reason), it's pretty much dead in the water.
Microsoft... Dear lord, I really hope their new console crashes and burns. I'm sorry, but unless they drop all their bullshit anti consumer practices that they've been touting, this thing HAS to bomb, or you know that Sony will follow suit, and possibly Nintendo as well. They've promised gamers a lot, with 15 exclusives including 8 new IPs, but they've made it perfectly clear to anyone with eyes that they couldn't care less about gamers. We can't let crap like this set the curve, or it's game over for all of us.
Yeah I've never been a fan of Microsoft then came the 360 and Microsoft practices that came with that made me hate Microsoft more. I'm not a Nintendo fanboy for those Microsoft ones by the way since well Mario 64 might have been my first game I did have a PS2 when I was young, still have it too. In fact in my childhood I almost had a game for every genre.
DeleteBeen PMing lately with Batdansucks youtube account and he sent me this. he said he got it from an "informant"
ReplyDelete"Okay you probably knew that Bores used to date his 'Haunted Investigators' co-star, Jennifer Schippel.
What you probably didn't know is that they're cousins. They have the same great-grandfather.
http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/b/u/r/Anastasia-Burns/WEBSITE-0001/UHP-0663.html
Wilson Frederick Schippel -- Roger Lawerence Schippel -- Roger Dale Schippel -- Jennifer Marie Schippel
Wilson Frederick Schippel -- Virginia Lucille Schippel -- Kenneth Gordon Bores -- Chris Michael Bores"
Im calling it Chris-cest.
Wait, Bores used to date with Jennifer Schippel? That again, that blogger is a moron.
DeleteUh about that he was the one to finally put the nail in the chris bores is his mother coffin. He tricked bores into revealing quite a bit.
Delete@Micharion Sorry about that. That was before I came to view Batdansucks blog.
DeleteIt's like she herself said, us thinking she was a lunatic was pretty much intended and essential in her plan working. She even said on a comment on the blog that there was no need for apologies.
DeleteI heard about Chris and Jennifer being cousins a while back in the comments section of this very blog, so this is old news to me. Nice to see proof, though.
DeleteLadybuggin's YT avatar, from what I remember, was one of Bores' co-workers, according to the blog.
DeleteSo apparently over on Joseph's new channel, Chris finally exposed the fact that Ladybuggin isn't his mom.
Deletehttp://s1363.photobucket.com/user/DouchebagIsYou57/media/ProofthatladybugginisntChrisBoresmom_zps5f4a449d.png.html?sort=3&o=0
As shown earlier, there is indeed now proof that Linda DeCaro is indeed Chris Bores mom. However on Joseph's channel he lets slip the fact that his name isn't Linda, as seen here. Not really sure how much more confirmation is needed, but wanted to point it out after seeing this.
Just love the fact that after showing things like this that Joseph deletes comments so people don't see the truth.
DeleteOf course "her" name isn't Linda, it's Chris. And if they really have to delete the comment afterwards, well, what more proof do you really need?
DeleteIf they have the same great grand-father that would make them second cousins.
DeleteTotally legal to date them as the bloodline is diluted enough to mostly avoid inbreeding illnesses.
But if you're really that neurotic about genetics and want the best child possible, you shouldn't even marry someone of your own race even!
I think the problem is that his date is still apart of his family, which while not inbreeding, shows that Chris has no real social skills to get a woman who is not predisposed towards him.
DeletePersonally, I think the Xbox One will have the hardest time trying to win over buyers with how badly the reveal went over. Not everybody has an internet connection of their own, so an online-only console would be out of the question for people like me and my family. While the multimedia capabilities will probably entice people who use their game console for those reasons primarily, unless there are actual games talked about at E3, I won't buy one in the near future. The Playstation 4 did have some interesting titles in their launch video, but there's a possible 64% price drop on the PS3 around the time of the PS4's announcement. I've wanted a PS3 for a while, so I might snag a marked-down one, some games, and some Blu-Ray movies. As for the Wii U-that is currently the eighth-generation console I'm most interested in. Apart from what's already out, Sonic Lost World, The Wonderful 101, Super Smash Bros. Universe, New Super Luigi U, and classic NES games as low as 30 cents are ample justification for me to get one within the next few years. It's always been the games that convince me to buy a particular system, more than any multimedia capabilities or control inputs. So, I can expect Boring man to care fuck-all about this and once again say "vewy coo" to almost everything, even stuff that ends up sucking. See you around, Dan.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what happen if he reviewed Sonic Lost World? It probably going to be Chris bashing it like Sonic Unleashed.
ReplyDeleteOr he'd steal footage from someone else like he did with Sonic Generations.
DeleteAnyone else here into the Savage Dragon comic book series? If you've never read it, maybe you could start with issue #193 later this year, which will mark a new direction for the series and provide a good jumping-on point.
ReplyDeleteI remember when the series first came out. I liked some of the first few issues, but then stopped reading comics entirely when my collection burnt up in my house at the time.
DeleteI eventually got back into reading again, until the local store I went to went down the drain. What I have read of it I liked, but that was years ago.
I just checked IG's channel and saw this banner. http://i3.ytimg.com/u/R_z6hgtpjuvrr1lQj19dFQ/channels4_banner.jpg?v=51b0d98a
ReplyDeleteJune 11th? Wow that's fast. Maybe he finally learned to bring a laptop to upload this stuff early.
Wait, all month long? No! Keep it short! Post like 3-4 videos a day in two weeks or something. By the time you're done, nobody will care anymore.
What do you expect? It's no secret that he preys on children who haven't figured out that there are internet news sources that aren't YouTube. As long as he has them, he can be as lazy as he wants with his coverage.
DeleteIts time to play the Irate Gamer drinking gamer IN E3!!!!
DeleteDrink if:
1. Chris asks a stupid question or a generic question
2. Chris asks about the number of characters in game
3. He says fans of the franchise will love the franchise
4. He gets the name wrong
5. when he rates his E3 experience based on celebrities present and not on the actual games
6. When he passes up a game gamers love to talk about a game most people don't give half a shit about.
7. Praise the graphics while not mentioning anything about gameplay
I always envisioned Sony as being the company that converted gamers to graphic whores that only cared about the visuals of their games and bashed stuff on the Wii because of it.
Delete@ Mr.Kill Ultra:
DeleteYou forgot a few points.
Drink if:
- Chris makes a stupid joke (e.g. "Lego Irategamer").
- Chris makes a stupid comment about a game (e.g. "Harmony of Despair's graphics are a throwback to the 8-bit games").
- Chris claims to be a fan of a game series or franchise when he clearly isn't.
- Chris demonstrates his "Pac-Man Fever" controller-shaking habit (or "Winter Gaming" as DLAbaoaqu calls it).
- Chris gives an ugly face reaction to something.
-Chris stumbles over his words or speaks a sentence fragment in a situation where a retake is impossible or just too much work.
DeleteWell considering what Microsoft did I seriously doubt E3 will save them. They messed up badly this time around.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of skylanders, how much u wanna bet that Bores will Bash the Pokemon version of Skylanders? I bet he will say something like the series is just shamelessy copying skylanders or that pokemon just doesnt connect to the kids anymore. I could see it. He must defend his sacred cash co...I mean game franchise...
ReplyDeleteOr he'll completely gloss it over. Just not talk about Pokémon Rumble U or Disney Infinity; which will probably broaden the horizon of this whole video game+trading figure game combination. Rumble U in particular has the figures as an option and will help show off what the Wii U Gamepad can do. Far as I'm concerned, if he's gone this long without mentioning it (outside of brushing off Mewtwo in Super Smash Bros. Brawl), he's probably not going to bother with it given his glut of Skylanders videos. I doubt he even knows about them. Wouldn't be the first time, and probably won't be the last. If he does, I have the 15 million units of Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 and the dark storyline of Team Plasma as a rebuttal.
DeleteMy mistake, the original Black and White sold 15 million, Black 2 and White 2 sold about 6.5 million as of the last quarter.
DeleteI wonder what he is going to say about the next gen consoles i can imagine him gushing over how xbox one you can watch tv on it and i wonder how lame his interviews will be its sad that a hack like him can get away with that stuff on the site
ReplyDeleteLike I said before, he'd probably gush over the PS4 as well, given his Sony fanboyism. And he'd treat the Wii U like crap for bullshit reasons ("Nintendo is kiddy!").
DeleteWonder if he'd look at what games the 3DS and PS Vita are offering at E3, too. And games on PC, Mac, iPad, and iPhone as well. (Possibly even Onlive, but that's kind of a rarity still...)
BTW, will Sony allow Vita users to sync it up with the PS4 when it comes out? If they could do that with the PS3, they should do the same to the new system as well. Otherwise, they too, might piss off a lot of fans.
And let's hope Microsoft listens to the people hating on their system due to the MAJOR boo-boo they caused in the presentation... though I unfortunately doubt it.
I still think Nintendo's Wii U is going to win the 8th-gen console wars at this point...
Ah, thanks. Just what I wanted to hear! :-)
DeleteI really do like Yuriofwind. His type of humor seems more improvised than most, especially with Bullshit Creepypasta Storytime.
ReplyDeleteWhat's wrong with creepypasta?
DeleteLike everything, there's good and bad creepypasta.
Delete"Bullshit Creepypasta Storytime" reads and snarks bad creepypasta. Like Sonic.EXE, Star Fox 6664, and Resident Evil 4 One Chance Only.
I should point out that yuriofwind has officially more subscribers than IG now.
DeleteSo he's GotGame's main draw now, ReviewTechUSA is shooting up in subs too now.
If anyones looking for something to watch I REALLY suggest this channel, http://www.youtube.com/user/itswhateverwewant?feature=watch
ReplyDeleteThese guys really need some more attention. I think they are 100x better then most of the crap on Youtube.
The part I'm looking forward to the most is the hour-and-a-half long presentation on Pokémon X&Y. I'm pumped up for that event, especially the possible revelation of Xerneas, Yveltal and Sylveon's types.
ReplyDeleteYes, so am I. I'm also excited to hear more about Grand Theft Auto V, Batman Arkham Origins, Super Smash Bros. Universe, and The Wonderful 101. I probably won't be going, but I'll be following coverage from far more competent people who talk about video games and don't drag out their coverage at a water-torture pace.
Deletelet me get this straight..... someone actually, ACTUALLY took more than 5 seconds out of their day, to post online about someone they don't know, yet claim to dislike? This is what's wrong with America today, smh. Log off, go outside, enjoy life etc etc, this is sad.
ReplyDeleteI can easily see the ironic humor here
DeleteI find it funny how you post this comment on a post about E3 coming soon. Yeah, there's a dig toward the Bores at the end, but I don't think this particular post is a good example of the kind of post you were trying to slam. Good job, Bam Bam! :D
DeleteE3 starts on June 10? I have to go back to school on June 10.
ReplyDeleteThe Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft employees also have to go back to work on June 10th to manage the E3 showfloor, or in Nintendo's case, the Best Buy Demos.
DeleteTomorrow... the E3 torture with Bores begins. :-p
ReplyDeleteHere's what I'm betting he'll do at E3
1.) Praise the crap out of both the PS4 and Xbox One due to him being a Sony fanboy and liking something that a majority of gamers do not
2.) Treat the Wii U like crap for being "kiddy", and treat it negatively despite the majority of gamers liking it (so far)
3.) Ask extremely vague questions while giving interviews
4.) Go ga-ga over the celebrities being used to promote the games, no matter if they're good or bad
5.) Say "Vewy coo!" every time an "epic" trailer is being shown
6.) Make an unfunny "blooper" reel at the end
Here's hoping they don't bring him to E3 2014!
There's a new article on the now misleadingly named Batdan Sucks blog. This one tears into Asalieri.

ReplyDeleteMr. A has been exposed.
This actually gaves me hopes
DeleteI love this.
DeleteI'd say Mr.A has had something like that coming for quite a while now.
DeleteFinally, some justice served. :)
DeleteNow send this to him and await his butthurt response.
DeleteNo, sending it directly is not a sensitive thing to do in my opinion, besides we all know that sooner or later his repulsive mug will show up.
DeleteWell what do you know? He made another TGTWG parody and again broke his word saying that he would avoid it. He will just not get over it, will he?
DeleteAnd what do you know, NOW he has going his way naysaying lasersquad and me over the other blog.
DeleteI'm reading this blog right now. Mr.A is clearly desperate and haven't refuted a single point made in that topic.
Delete*TGWTG my bad
DeleteI am reading it now and...
DeleteWow Mr.A just totally got owned. I love how Mr.A was constantly saying things like (paraphrasing here) "You aren't letting me talk" then Laser replies with "Yeah I am letting you, I am not stopping you at all. You are stopping yourself" then asalieri says "Ask me questions" showing that he never had anything to say to begin with.
The funniest part is Hladnik says that he didn't care about the post. If only he saw the comments.
DeleteOne more question-- are the Xbox One and PS4 going to be backwards-compatible? Meaning you can use discs from previous-gen systems and not have to download a damn game? (I already know you can play Wii, but not GameCube discs on a Wii U.)
ReplyDeleteMy guess having done a google search, NO.
Delete"We've got to have.... more MONEY!"- Sony and Microsoft
The problem is that backwards compatibility does not equal money even though they could probably provide a fee of $100 for a backwards compatible model but hey its not like they have brain right?
So they'll have to re-buy them then I guess. To be honest I don't mind because I still have my PS2 and PS3 (A backwards compatible model no less!)
Delete@Mr.Kill Ultra
DeleteShowing how much of a kissass Nostalgia Critic fan you are for using that overused meme I see
What? That's a youtube poop meme!
Deletehttp://knowyourmeme.com/videos/37665-shut-up-and-take-my-money
For goodness sakes how is that TGWTG meme? What is with you and TGWTG!? What just because NC did the review on a movie that existed and I watched well before he did its a TGWTG property? Come on man... there's a line to anti-TGWTG statements and you are crossing it.
So... Sony basically stole the show. None of that DRM crap, no having to connect to the Internet to play single-player, no convoluted pay schemes to lend games to your friends, the ability to re-sell your games, Final Fantasy XV, Kingdom Hearts III... and they made subtle jabs toward the Big M all throughout. It was satisfying.
ReplyDeleteDay 1 of E3 is done, and Sony didn't just beat Microsoft, they filleted them and served them to rabid wolves.
ReplyDeleteNo used games DRM, no constant online checks, no camera, and it's $399, compared to Xbox One which is $499 and has the always-on Kinect.
I imagine this pleases Bores greatly.
I know I gave Bores shit for being a Sony fanboy before, but that was when the PS3 and 360 were on fairly equal ground. This is a new situation where Microsoft deserves all the scorn they're getting.
I remember Bores saying he prefers PS3 because he doesn't have to pay for online. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be the case anymore as Sony revealed a PS Plus subscription is required to play multiplayer (but not services like Netflix, Hulu and others). Yeah this sucks, but I hear Plus is an amazing service and can be transferred from PS3 to PS4. I'll look into it.
Hold on, Bores prefers PS3 because online is free... yet in most of his reviews he never talks about multiplayer. This is confusing.
Yes, Sony knew Microsoft slipped up, and they've been making swipes at the Xbox One for a while, but I can say know they've officially handed Microsoft's ass to them on a silver platter. Kevin Butler would be proud. I can wait for a PS4, though. I'll be satisfied with a marked-down PS3, some games, and some Blu-Ray movies. Also, most of the output I was looking forward to from Nintendo was amazing, including stuff I wasn't even thinking about. I was also ecstatic the moment I saw that Star Wars Battlefront was coming back. I know I've been playing out the battle of Hoth since Shadows of the Empire on N64, but that teaser made feel like a Rebel soldier in the heat of Echo Base being stormed by Imperial Walkers.
DeleteI'm not going to buy the PS4, unfortunately, at least for now. The idea of not being backwards-compatible doesn't really sit well with me (if Sony allowed that in the PS2 and [most] PS3 models, why not the PS4?), and I have NEVER owned a PS3. I just hope you don't have to pay TOO much money to download an old game, which you certainly don't pay too much to download old NES and SNES games on the Wii U. Plus, its fanbase has gone ape-shit already. I mean, I understand Sony did a better job at a presentation compared to what Microsoft did with the Xbox One, (Always online? $500? Geez, you're pushing it...) but I advise people to not get their hopes up too dangerously high.
ReplyDeleteSorry folks, but I'm just still going to stick with the Wii U. Maybe in the future, I'll consider getting a PS4, though.
You don't have to apologize for sticking with the Wii U. I bought one last month only for Nintendo's exclusive games.
DeleteI know my Wii U will be eventually collecting dust like its predecesor, which I bought only for Metroid, Zelda and Tatsunoko VS Capcom, but Nintendo exclusives are always worth it even if their systems are inferior.
That said, I'll have to say good bye to my 360 and go back to Sony.
No prob! But I can add one more thing to make me pissed off at Microsoft and Sony:
DeleteI HEARD THEY BOTH COME OUT ON NEW YEAR'S EVE.
Seriously, why wait until AFTER Christmas within the year? Unless they're fixing problems and taking their time decently...
I just found out. Thanks. :-)
DeleteMaybe the Xbox One won't turn out to be that rotten of a system in spite of all the controversy it's rightfully gotten, and turn out well after all. I'm very certain that the PS4 will do well on Sony's part, especially with how well-received their conference went, but I still won't get my hopes up too high like most people are.
ObBores: Hoo boy, can't wait for the thrashings in the weeks and months to come. I wonder if someone at GotGame will realize (though I doubt it) that Chris Bores isn't deserving of going to E3 every year just because he's their cash cow?
It begins:
ReplyDeletehttp://gotgame.com/2013/06/11/e3-2013-sony-press-conference-reaction/
Not a Bores-made video, but he's in it, and, well, just watch. Even GotGame has to realize the mistake in teaming him with clearly better on-camera personalities.
To be honest, it wasn't bad at all. I do agree that Sony had a great end to their press conference yesterday, giving people many good reasons to purchase a Playstation 4 over a Xbox One.
DeleteHowever, Bores is bound to make a mistake in an E3 video eventually; just give him time.
You thought he comported himself well in that video? He stammered, looked nervous, said nothing valuable, and referred to some kind of note sheet. He seemed badly out of his element. Watch the guy on the left (Nick) mocking him during the worst moments.
DeleteWhile you do bring up good points, I think that the video, overall, was not terribly bad. After all, we know Bores can do worse during E3.
DeleteIt's a good thing Bores is not the focus of the video. Has he always been such a black hole of charisma when it comes to sharing the screen?
DeleteWhen he's producing the video himself, as writer and editor, he has a slight edge. But when it's GotGame's video, and he gets one chance to talk when they're ready to give him the mike, the rough edges all come out. I wonder if all the coverage is going to be like this, or if Chris is doing his own reportage in addition.
DeleteI don't know why, but Bores has been kind of moving and speaking like he's drunk in some of the videos he's done this year (like the shout-out, the Die Hard NES review, and a couple of his endless Skylanders videos). Bores may be a good editor, but his writing and acting has always been some of my biggest problems with him. Couple that with his canyon-sized holes in research, dragging out time to get videos out, stealing footage from other sources, and his general ineptitude in gaming; and I have at least 5 reasons that have eclipsed his ripping off you-know-who.
DeleteI don't actually suspect he's drunk at E3. That effect comes across when you pretend to be an expert in something, and are then thrust into that world and asked to say something of substance about brand-new developments. You can either admit "I'm actually a fraud with little reason to be here" or be as awkward as a drunk guy. It could be argued that Steve and Nick covered all the major talking points before they gave Chris a turn, but even then Chris would have more to say if he were the hardcore gamer that he fronts being.
DeleteHere are my current thoughts on the E3 press conferences.
ReplyDelete* Microsoft:
Really pushed a lot of games for not only the Xbox One, but also for the 360 (which now has a new design model available). However, I am surprised (as was Spike TV) that Microsoft did not mention the controversy around the system. I wonder how Microsoft's next generation console will fair when it releases this holiday season.
* EA:
Pretty generic conference in my opinion. I was really excited to see the 20-second teaser for the new Star Wars Battlefront. I also thought that the extensive multiplayer gameplay for Battlefield 4 was cool.
* Ubisoft:
I think they unveiled so many great games, like Watch Dogs (which Sony also showed off), The Crew, Tom Clancy's The Division, and Destiny.
* Sony:
In my opinion, Sony definitely had the best press conference. They really pushed for both games and social media programs (like TV shows, movies, and music). Their plan to connect the PS3, PS4, and PS Vita using PS Plus is a good idea, the $399 price tag is not too demanding, and the idea to allow used games to function on the Playstation 4 is great.
* Nintendo:
I feel a press conference would have been better, but the Nintendo Direct was still good (except for the lag on both Nintendo's website and Facebook page. Thankfully, the full direct video, along with the individual game trailers, was uploaded to Nintendo's YouTube page shortly afterward). Super Mario 3D World and Mario Kart 8 looked great (although the former was not really what I was expecting for the next 3D Mario adventure, especially after experiencing Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 for Wii). And, of course, who could forget about Wind Waker HD and the next Super Smash Bros. game, the latter which is going to be released for both Wii U and 3DS.
Agree with you.
DeleteI can say that Sony had not owned this hard since they killed the Saturn during the announcement of the PSOne.
I liked a lot of what Nintendo did in their direct, by the way.
I think that Sony had a good presence as well. They even used some of the same tactics they did in those days. I'll probably get a PS4 a bit later after it launches, but it would be good to play Metal Gear Solid V and Star Wars Battlefront, not to mention Kingdom Hearts III. Nintendo made me want the games I was anticipating from them even more. Zelda Wind Waker HD will be perfect for revisiting one of my favorite Zelda games for its 10th anniversary. Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze looked pretty good, and I'm really looking forward to Mega Man joining my rotation in Super Smash Bros. on Wii U and 3DS (I had a feeling he was coming, since they had already broken the rules by letting Sonic and Snake play). One last thing before I go: with the Fairy-type confirmed for Pokémon X and Y, I have another reason to finish the League in Black 2 and White 2, then trade in my aging DS Lite towards a 3DS. See you around.
DeleteI don't want to be that guy, but I really feel that people are giving Sony too much credit. I mean, they really would have had to go out of their way to be less appealing that the Xboned.
DeleteThank you, voice of reason! That's exactly what I was thinking.
DeleteIn Other News....
ReplyDeleteTHE REAL MEGAMAN is on the new Smash Bros.
And no, is not that troll move TrollONO did in SFxTekken.
Indeed, the real Mega Man is back! ^_^
DeleteI must congratulate Nintendo for doing the only thing that could really make me want to buy a Wii U.
It's a PS4/Wii U combo for me this gen.
That is freakin sweet. Hopefully this is a sign that Capcom will stop with its 'perceived' trend of megaman hating. Too bad I don't have a wii U...
DeleteI now have another reason to buy a Wii U. The moment I saw Mega Man come in with his weapons, remixed themes, and his dog Rush, I knew he would join my preferred Super Smash Bros. characters. The only thing that's been keeping me from getting a Wii U is the money (more than any lack of software, I have at least 5 games I want to play on it).
DeleteIt's on 3DS too guys.
DeleteThe Animal Crossing villager and the female Wii Fit trainer are perhaps the most random of choices for characters since the Queen Bee and Lakitu in Mario Kart 7. Just saying.
DeleteWhy do people still complain about Bores being at E3, at least he does not scream like a crybaby when a game does not turn out the way he wants it too (like Spoony) or tries to hard to appeal to the gaming crowd (like Lisa Foilies)
ReplyDeleteWell this is a blog about Irate Gamer so of course we're gonna complain about him being at E3 again. You also seem to be ignoring him blowing up a corporate headquarter and acting like that's a respectable action or telling straight to the face of a spokesperson that their game sucked. Spoony got acknowledged for yelling betrayal (I'm an x-com fan so I know about that) and lisa.. who?
DeleteHuh for some reason my comment ended up in the wrong place. I hope this fixes it.
"You also seem to be ignoring him blowing up a corporate headquarter and acting like that's a respectable action"
DeleteEven if that's not a respectable action I can bet you Ubisoft just ignored it since Bores I bet is barely a blip on their radar
"or telling straight to the face of a spokesperson that their game sucked."
You mean what Angry Joe does all the time, honestly I'm surprised he's still allowed at E3 to begin with
No Idea who Joe is but yeah ubisoft totally ignored that.
DeleteYou honestly have no idea who Angry Joe is, I figured you and the rest of the asskissing people of TGWTG knew who he was anyway
ReplyDeleteI am not a TGWTG asskisser. What the hell is wrong with you today?
DeleteSeriously everytime you comment here its to derail the discussion to TGWTG. What? Is there really something you want to point out? Because seriously man, just say it. Don't beat around the bush.
DeleteIs this gonna be like that one time that troll pretended to be a functioning member before going cuckoo? Because you seemed like you were of sound mind before now.
DeleteWhat crawled into your shirt to get you all grumpy?
yeah this gonna end up like brandon reagan isn't it?
DeleteSo that incredibly nice guy Asa has ordered his loyal trolls to false-flag some YouTube user. How swell, right? /sarcasm

This one is old, PLEASE DONT.
DeleteIt's old? Well, never mind then.
DeleteBut the question I want to ask is: Did he really write that or was it photoshopped?
DeleteOh boy, trust me, with him, is legit.
DeleteOdd. Ever since E3 started Ladybuggin has been inactive. Oh wait its not odd at all :D
ReplyDeleteChris is getting sloppier. Does he even care anymore?
He'll still try and deny it, of course, but his IP says quite differently.
DeleteGotGame has just posted a video covering Skylanders... and Chris is not involved. Since it's apparently been two days with nothing new by him, I'm half-wondering if GotGame just shitcanned him after the video of the 11th.
ReplyDeleteHe usually waits until a month after E3 before making videos... you know, long after anyone cares.
DeleteI notice also that a video went up yesterday where Steve and Nick (from the Sony video) check out "BandFuse".... with no Bores in sight. The conjecture that 2013 is "his" year may need some tweaking.
DeleteUgg, the stupidity is killing me.
ReplyDeletehttp://i913.photobucket.com/albums/ac331/Superjustinbros/IMG_1104_zps355c53f2.png
Translation: Lasersquad totally owned me when he said I couldn't even critique Irate Gamer properly. I'm just gonna say I'm not mad at him or angry. Oh wait that just proves that Lasersquad was right about me making reviews for petty personal reasons. Oh well doublethink AWAY!
ReplyDeleteI don't even get how Gotgame has stayed alive. They have like 3 fans.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you guys think bores would say about the new games announced by Nintendo?
ReplyDeleteThat they're "kiddy" and "not adult enough"? XD
DeleteI thought he was gonna say "very coo". That is he would probably say that if only Gottgame didn't have him under ropes.
DeleteBores is going to be hyped about Megaman being on Super Smash Bros 4. Meanwhile, he probably doesn't care about Pokemon. I mean, have Chris even talked about Pokemon?!
Delete"Why isn't there blood in Smash Bros.? How can it be a realistic fighting game without copious amounts of gore? Also where is my God of Zelda game?"
DeleteI always thought Bores being a Mega Man fan was just to prove he's a gamer. Knowing how he is with challenging games...
DeleteJust add the other "great Nintendo legends" Bores wants, such as Simon and Bomberman, and I assume he'll instantly love it.
Deletehttp://irategamerdoesnotsuck.wikia.com/wiki/Zombies_Ate_my_Neighbors
ReplyDeleteits done guys. Finally season one of irate gamer show has been properly documented.
Yeah that was probably the review (along with the Aladdin review) where I pretty much figured that Bores has no idea what he is doing.
Delete@Mr.Kill ultra Sweet. I haven't laughed so hard in quite a while, though to be honest I'm suprised the wiki didn't ban you all ready unless its like the boring man's cwcki.
ReplyDeleteOn another note I've been looking through the past entries of this blog for a while now and I have to say you guys seem pretty cool. You're a lot more mature than a certain person who I will not name would like to believe. I don't think i'm gonna join the blog but thanks for making me laugh for the past couple of days.
Glad you enjoyed it. I have no idea why they haven't banned me yet. The wiki is definitely not the boring man's cwiki. The wiki before I came to edit it was an autistic masterpiece of sucking up to the Boring man. The episode summaries considered of "Irate reviews the game and points out it flaws" the end. I still feel sickened knowing that Batdamn aka Joe Hladnik actually thought that was good wiki edit.
DeleteMy only guess as to why I am allowed to continue editing the wiki is probably because I am the only one still editing it and writing intelligible summaries that actually look like summaries.
TBH I didn't even know there was an irate gamer wiki. My first thought was (Seriously he has a wiki?) until your post lol. But why does he even have a wiki to begin with? Because we need an in depth look at poorly written jewish skeltons?
Deleteunfortunately I have no idea who started the wiki. Considering what it was before I started editing it... yeah it was about poorly written jewish skeletons
DeleteHey, one question who was the first one that said ladybuggin's name was Linda?
ReplyDeleteI'm no historian but I'm pretty sure that ladybuggin was the one saying that her name was linda.
DeleteWho exactly is Ladybuggin? I've only been following this blog for about a week but I see her name pop up in comments from time to time. She like an irate gamer white knight or something?
DeleteLadybuggin777 is Irate Gamer's white knight yes. Ldybuggin777 has since her beginning of defending Chris Bores, been claiming to be his mother (Linda) and essentially bases her arguments off of "lay off my son" and "you're just mad because you like AVGN". A recent undercover operation by Lasersquad on the in-appropriately named batdansucks blog has revealed that Irate Gamer and Ladybuggin777 have the same IP address, meaning that Chris Bores is in fact Ladybuggin777.
DeleteOh and Irate Gamer has been confirming that Ladybuggin777 is his mom so unlike white knights who do their job voluntarily, Ladybuggin777 is a rare sanctioned case of white knighting.
DeleteWow, So to defend himself the Irategamer makes a fake account pretending to be his mommy? Talk about desperate.
DeleteDidn't we all agree that Bores was Buggin all along?
DeleteYes we did but it was only until Lasersquad along (and of course that time where IrateGamer wrote a Ladybuggin response) that we have strong evidence.
Delete@Micharion
DeleteConfirmed. Ladybuggin777's account has him saying he's Irate Gamer's mom on the about section. Ladybuggin777 has always been set to be his mom from the very start.
Wow...anyone see Man of Steel?
ReplyDeleteI found it to be one of the best movies of the year so far.
Better than Ironman 3? No way, I gotta see that movie now.
DeleteOh hell yes.
DeleteIt makes The Avengers look like a tv movie.
I thought it was ok, way too "nolanized" for my taste.
Delete@Mr.Kill Ultra...
Deletesarcasm?
Dave, whatd you think?
DeleteNo I honestly enjoyed Iron Man 3. I take it you didn't like it? It was the best movie to watch in 3D and I noticed a lot of cool touches in the movie.
DeleteI liked the first Iron Man, I actually liked the second one more, but the third irritated me for several reasons.
DeleteNot bashing you for liking it, it just I thought we had similar taste so I assumed you wouldn't like it either.
Even though I've never been much of a Superman fan I think I will check out Man of Steel.
There's nothing wrong with liking different things. Hell I hate Skyfall with a passion but apparently that's the film that ensures James Bond will get several more movies (and that 92% at rotten tomatoes either means I really should cut the movie some slack over its ridiculous special effects failures and plot holes or critics really don't look for those anymore).
DeleteMan Of Steel? I didn't watched it since I'm not a fan of superheroes.
DeleteI'm hopefully going this afternoon. I've been a Superman fan for as long as I can remember, so I've naturally been excited for this movie. I'm at my dad's place in California right now, so I'm just waiting for him to wake up and we can do some errands before that.
DeleteI think Bores will review "ToeJam and Earl" soon
ReplyDeleteThat reminds me-- has Bores ever reviewed a Genesis/Megadrive game before?
DeleteNot to my knowledge, despite the fact that he has a Sega Genesis Model 3 present in his gaming room (he showed it off at the beginning of his review of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games back in 2008). He also has never reviewed a game for the Atari Jaguar or 7800, or the Nintendo 64 (but I doubt he has the latter console).
DeleteSome "hardcore gamer" he is.
What makes you think this? Has he dropped some sort of hint or said something that would lend itself toward TJ&E?
DeleteJames and Mike hinted that they will be playing it eventually. A little bird told me Bores will try to beat them to it so he can play the 'reviewer dibs' card when their video comes out.
DeleteYou know, because that's worked so well for him before *cough*ROBreview*cough*
DeleteEven if he did get something out first, it'd still be terrible. In Bores' case, first is always worst.
I liked the fact that Chris has a Pokemon Poster on his wall and yet HE NEVER EVEN TALKED ABOUT POKEMON AT ALL.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of this, I wonder what if he reviewed Pokemon?
Those posters don't mean anything. They are there for the sole purpose of making it seem like Chris is a gamer, which he isn't. Not too mention, he criticized Kirby's Epic Yarn for not being able to die and/or get a game over. That's funny because Chris displays a Wario Land II poster on his wall and, according to the Super Mario Wiki, a player cannot run out of lives in that game, meaning it's impossible to get a game over.
DeleteI don't think Chris will ever review a Pokémon game because it takes many hours and some effort to get far in any Pokémon game, even the spinoff titles. We've all seen that Chris cannot stand to play a modern game for more than an hour or two (Injustice: Gods Among Us and, possibly, Kirby's Epic Yarn were exceptions). However, if he ever did review a Pokémon game, it's anyone's guess whether he would like or hate it.
Also, unless I'm wrong, Chris did mention Pokémon when he was using the different types (e.g. Normal, Fire, Electric, etc.) as a comparison to the different elemental classes in Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure.
DeleteIt's true he has never reviewed a Pokémon game, but he has mentioned the franchise on rare occasions.
Wario Land 3 was also impossible to get a Game Over on until the final boss. And just like with Epic Yarn, you lose some of the Coins you've collected if you get hit in Wario Land 2 (with the knockback also allowing the game to send you back quite a lot depending on the level).
DeleteSpeaking of pokemon anyone else excited for X and Y?
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to say that I am not excited.
DeleteI have taken a hiatus from my Pokémon Black Version and may not play it again for a while. For some reason, I have just lost interest in the game. I don't know why, especially since all of the previous games in the main Pokémon franchise have been fun and enjoyable, especially generations 2 and 4.
Right now I am more interested in the side titles, like the Mystery Dungeon and Poképark games.
Guys....I have a theory. Lady is in fact Chris' mom.....reason they have the same IP? Chris still lives with her. (Or she lives with him)
ReplyDeleteAnd the reason why she never ended up on film? Especially since Chris has filming equipment? That also means that for 7 years... they've never bothered to get another computer...?
DeleteWhich assassin from Assassin's Creed do you think has more swag, Altair, Ezio, or Connor?
ReplyDeleteAll three have their moments in my opinion,actually.
DeleteI'm looking forward to playing as Edward, too.
DeleteWhile I'm still only one Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, I'd have to say that Ezio is probably my favourite so far. I just feel like you learned more about Ezio in Assassin's Creed II that there was a better connection with the character.
Delete"Linda" is active again, meaning Chris is back from E3. It's so transparent at this point...
ReplyDeleteOn Facebook, Chris said videos on GotGame will be up soon, and that Square was rude to him so he couldn't get interviews. Why do you care? What games does Square-Enix have that you would care about?
He also said Mega Man in Smash was "Very cool!" At least he wasn't arrogant about it and claimed he predicted it back in his Brawl review.
Bores has this delusion that developers should recognize him, acknowledge his self-perceived importance, and bend over backwards to accommodate him.
DeleteI love how he posts his E3 videos DAYS afterwards.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone of you guys watch DMJared? He has a nice coverage of E3 and makes decent interviews.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, and his reviews are funny too! A VERY enjoyable personality. Highly recommended!
DeleteFinally:
ReplyDeletehttp://gotgame.com/2013/06/17/e3-2013-irate-gamer-dualing-roundup-report/
Spelling error in the headline just to set the mood.
Okay? what fool gave that report a 5 out of 5?
DeleteAh, an E3 report two weeks after everything is said, done, and over with. If there's one thing Bores is consistent at, it's sucking.
DeleteI will say that the comments on Sony and Microsoft's press conferences weren't too bad, but that was the laziest Nintendo recap ever. Didn't even mention Super Mario 3D World (which is surprising since he claimed he was "all about the Mario" last year), Wind Waker HD or Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze. Also, were those multiple Chris cameos really necessary? Just . . . ugh!
DeleteWell, what's next? A recap of Ubisoft and EA's press conferences, maybe?
Also, @ Mr.Kill Ultra:
The blogger who liked that report video was called "ubernaut". Not sure if that answers your question or not exactly, but that's the the name of the "fool".
@ skyrunner14:
DeleteTwo weeks? Sorry to refute your statement, but E3 started last week, June 10th (the title of this blog post says so) and went until the 13th. This video came out four days afterward. So two weeks is an over exaggeration.
I do agree with you though that Chris is really bad at getting information out when it is fresh.
I loved the way he pronounced origins, and the press conferences ended a week ago. Why is he uploading this crap now?
Deletethe reason ig is late is because he got food poisoning so everyone shut up
