It's been a while since IG posted something new, nearing three weeks since the last thing was yet another Skylanders video.
And it looks like we're going to have to wait even longer now, as he reported on Facebook (thanks to my informant for letting me know) that he's running into obstacles left and right and there will be delays. How do his fans tolerate these long waits? He doesn't even make side videos or shorter reviews, it's just weeks and weeks of waiting.
I'm betting late February at the earliest.
Also, a fan mentioned Arkham Origins (something about the voice actors that anyone interested in the game knew about already) and Bores responded that he didn't play it because "he was on the review list, but they passed him over". ... Really? You gush about the game at E3, you make endless posts about it on your site, and yet when the game comes out, you don't say anything about it and months later remark that you didn't play it because you didn't get if for free. Greedy idiot...
If you were really such a huge Batman fan that you claim to be, a "Batman purist" as you once said, and a Black Mask fan, you would have bought the game Day 1. Instead, you're upset you didn't get a "review copy" since you seem to think you're so important. Maybe you should consider that you're nothing more than an amateur, and that you should probably invest money into buying games for this show? As far as I know, it's still your only source of income. Unbelievable.

Speaking of Arkham Origins, I hate how they made Joker the main villain again. I know he is the main villain of Batman, but why not give another villain some spotlight.
ReplyDeleteAnd Black Mask himself just had a short side mission, when he was built up as the main villain for months.
so unless he gets a "review copy" he won't play the game? Why can't he just play the game regardless if it's free or not?
ReplyDeleteCause he rather spend all his money on Skylanders than just buying a brand new game for $60.00. He believes that he'll be ripped off if the game sucked and wasted that much money.
DeleteI wonder if he has heard of Gamefly, where he can rent games and save money but he will be paying a monthly fee, which is only $15 a month and it isn't bad.
Seriously, Bores. Stop making so many excuses and go buy the game since your fans asked you. You got enough money in your pocket to either rent it at Red box or Gamefly or buy it at Wal-Mart.
I praised Troy Baker and Roger Craig Smith's voice performances as Joker and Batman but not fond of it.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice they were able to find two voice actors who both sound like Mark Hamill and Kevin Conroy but both Baker and Smith didn't even try to do their own take on the characters. There were other voice actors who played as Joker and Batman and were not as good as Hamill and Conroy but at least they were still doing their own distinctive take on the characters,
I'm kinda starting to feel sorry for Bores. Between his movie probably bombing despite his claims otherwise and not playing a game he says he was excited over because he didn't merit a review copy, I kinda get the feeling that thinking he is a celebrity as the Irate Gamer is all he's got and maintaining it is all that keeps him going.
ReplyDeleteHi, Long time reader blah blah blah...
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to know, are there any good Irate Gamer Parodies out there?
I mean Parodies that are still active, I like Third Rate Gamer and IGSRJ but they haven't uploaded anything in a long time.
I've looked at some of the more recent uploads on YouTube and they honestly aren't very good
Probably not, a lot of the furor over Irate Gamer has died down by now. Most of the actually funny people who were parodying him have moved on and are applying their talents to something more recent.
DeleteCould try Linkara's April fools video from 2012 where he reviews a "mighty and morphing power rangers" comic that was really good from pronunciation and fact errors that have become synonomous with the irate gamer
DeleteAs far as still active parodists go, I find that the Irat Gamer is easily the best available. I'd even rank his newer ones up with Save State and Third Rate, I really think they're that good. Besides him, I enjoy Blown-A-Gasket Gamer and the Mad Game Bro. I even do my own, The Untitled Gamer. I think The Sore Game Man was supposed to be making another episode, but nothing has been heard since his announcement video...
DeleteThird Rate Gamer's profile still says he's planning on making more, and he has been active in the last few months, so you'd think if he wasn't still intending to make more he'd have changed his status.
ReplyDeleteOf course that still being there while he isn't planning on making more could just be a part of the parody. You know given Bores' own dismal video schedule.
DeleteSimilar to This site's lack of updates, TRG also doesn't have much to work with anymore since Bores isn't producing anything.

ReplyDeleteI need to do something creative with my free time. I was wondering if anyone here has any tips on doing reviews of TV shows or movies?
ReplyDeleteI would add: Don't just watch AVGN and the other masters. Closely studying IG, to learn what NOT to do, can be just as helpful.
DeleteWhy not write a gamefaq FAQ? Earn some amazon money while your are at it? Finished my x-com enemy within review some time ago and got $40 from amazon. Work hours are not equal to payment but at least you help people and get paid for it.
Delete"enemy within review" NOT REVIEW I meant FAQ/Walkthrough
DeleteI liked it better when people just made fun of Bores for his poor jokes and acting. Now you just nitpick every move he makes.
ReplyDeleteWell it is hard to make fun of Chris Bores for his poor jokes and acting when he hasn't DONE anything for months now. Besides, its not nitpicking if its a legit criticism such as "for goodness sake Chris, makes some actual material"
DeleteWell if it's hard to make jokes about him then why continue? Aren't you beating a dead horse at this point?
Delete"Besides, its not nitpicking if its a legit criticism such as "for goodness sake Chris, makes some actual material"."
Which is pointless since you don't like what Chris produces anyway. That would be more of positive since you don't have endure another video of his(although nobody is really forcing you to watch him). I also like how you guy's claim this is only source of income which contradicts that last point. If that was the case wouldn't he be pushing out more videos?
"Why work hard on something that's difficult?" Chris couldn't have put it more succinctly.
Delete"Well if it's hard to make jokes about him then why continue?"
DeleteUh that's why there hasn't been any articles lately?
"Aren't you beating a dead horse at this point?"
Aren't you beating the dead horse that is complaining about other people doing shit that doesn't affect you on personal level?
"Which is pointless since you don't like what Chris produces anyway."
A lot of us are here simply because Chris Bores is a massive troll and to show our support in getting Chris to stop being an amoral jackass who trolls competitors off youtube and contributes to making youtube a hellhole for people who actually do work.
"I also like how you guy's claim this is only source of income which contradicts that last point"
Uh I'm not "you guy's" or "batdan" please do not over generalize and act as if I speak for everyone. We are not legion, we are not a hivemind and we certainly don't like the same things or have the exact same tastes.
"If that was the case wouldn't he be pushing out more videos? "
Chris Bores is lazy. He even said several times that youtube would fire him if he didn't do work but here he is still not doing work. You'd think Chris Bores would distance himself from other competitors since that would be logical course of action but he hasn't done that either. Just because its logical doesn't mean Chris will do it, otherwise we'd be seeing improvement by now. Not only that but you do realize that videos must get views to get compensation for them right? You can't crap out a 1 second 'click me' video and get paid for it.
If you've got questions try and ask them in a way that doesn't seem inflammatory or as if you are insinuating as if we're deadbeats or something. I understand that the irate gamer debate is full of people who are overly emotional about the content and it shows repeatedly, but we must be mature because Chris Bores certainly isn't going to step up to the plate.
I'm not trying to be inflammatory, I'm just asking questions which you didn't really answer.
Delete"Uh that's why there hasn't been any articles lately?"
Well that's not exactly what I meant. I mean, I've always seen articles on here about how Chris hasn't released a video in a while. Is that really worth writing about?
"Aren't you beating the dead horse that is complaining about other people doing shit that doesn't affect you on personal level?"
Well, that's a bit ironic considering your next comment. You say Chris Bores is a troll. I don't really see how, but if that's the case shouldn't you just ignore him?
"I'm not trying to be inflammatory"
DeleteGood, its unfortunate that a lot of people who articulate the "this is worth it?" argument (I assume that what's your using here not really sure, you might want to clarify) have been real jerks with the argument. One person even said we had no right to exist... that's just rude (and unconstitutional).
"Is that really worth writing about?"
The main reason that happens is because the blog system has a stupid glitch where if more than 200 comments exist at any time on an article all new comments will be hidden. This means that anyone who has something they want to talk about will have to click the 'load more' button (which may not even work). Plus since this blog is the only source of information on the Irate Gamer, it is technically worth making articles explaining that the blog isn't dead or why there hasn't been another article on something that's worth reading.
"You say Chris Bores is a troll. I don't really see how, but if that's the case shouldn't you just ignore him?"
You'd think that would work but the reality is it doesn't work with the way Chris does it. If you ignore Chris, he goes nuts and tries to do stupid bullshit to see how much he will get away with before someone shuts him down. See the Y2B productions copyright claim blitz that Chris Bores did or 'E-begging the spoof'. Chris has from day one, been operating the ladybuggin777 account and month old evidence suggests that Chris Bores has replaced his Batdamn cohort. Ladybuggin777 and batdamn harass people on a daily basis... for YEARS now. Heck you can take a look at ladybuggin777's account comments, I'm willing to bet there's hundreds of comments saying something bad about Mr.Kill or something. I've never addressed their comments on their youtube channel and I've ignored dozens of their tirades, they're still going. AVGN ignores Irate Gamer completely, that didn't stop Irate Gamer from being a jackass.
Well I've heard about those two before and to be honest, I wouldn't pay too much attention to them. I'm not sure what they said about you, but it's probably nothing to worry about. As for Bores copyright claims, yeah I agree that was pretty pathetic of him to do, but I don't think he's done anything like that lately.
DeleteI didn't mind his parody either. I thought it was pretty harmless much like the IG parodies I enjoy watching.
"I'm not sure what they said about you, but it's probably nothing to worry about."
DeleteI agree, I do not even care what they write but merely cite it as an example of how far Chris is willing to go and how completely immature he is. The fact of the matter is that Chris hasn't improved at all his entire career and remains an immature and anti-social individual. Just because it looks like Chris is down on his luck doesn't mean he will stop (apparently he blew 10,000 dollars on his latest movie). At this point I feel as if contributing to this blog helps Chris by reminding him that people want him to stop being immature and to actually get things done and that there are people waiting for him to do so.
Or maybe I just like watching him fail, it really depends on the time of week.
"I didn't mind his parody either"
Considering how nuts Irate Gamer went with AVGN theories going from "AVGN is my best friend I won't acknowledge because our relationship is special" to "AVGN bullies me"; seeing the parody with context makes the parody a lot less funny. Keep in mind irate Gamer also ran the account Irategamerfan345 which ran crackpot theories on a daily basis on AVGN including claiming that AVGN hacked his youtube account to make his join date less than Irate Gamer. The question that must be asked is "Was that really a parody or some delusional sociopath's power-hungry fantasy?". Though I guess the answer matters little since people gave up on the AVGN e-begs bandwagon as soon as someone realized they needed money to buy things.
Oh yes and I forgot to ask. Was I able to answer your question HK217?
DeleteOff-topic, but, what's everyone's thoughts on the uber-hyped "Pinkie Pride" episode of MLP: FIM?
ReplyDeleteMan, I haven't seen something this INSANELY hyped since all the various SpongeBob specials...
Loved it!
DeleteOnly reason for loving this episode: Weird Al Yankovic. 'Nuff said. Loved it!
DeleteNow...if they can just get Andrew W.K. or Seth Green to be a special guest on a future episode, everything will be awesome.
Loved it. And just the fact that Weird Al Yankovic makes a guest appearance makes me love it even more. It was fun and they actually got it right this time when it come to musical episodes. I especially loved the goof-off scene.
DeleteI like how they threw in a few Weird Al references (Young Cheese Sandwich with glasses, just like pre-"Running with Scissors" Al). Also, the "live action" Gummy scene kinda remind me of "Freakazoid" a little.
DeleteNow to wait another year to see how "Tomodachi wa Mahou" handles this episode.
BTW, side question-- how do you think Bores would react to MLP: FIM in general, let alone "Pinkie Pride"?
DeleteOr even LPS, considering how many of its fans are also bronies (especially when some of the same writers and voice actors of MLP work on LPS as well)?
Just noticed something: Several (i suspect all) of Chris' "I Rate The 80s" videos, the ones that end by touting iratethe80s.com (which now redirects to this blog), now have a clickable box directly overlaid on the address, to steer the viewer elsewhere. I suppose that kind of damage control is one reason he's making fewer videos.
ReplyDeleteThis may have been covered already, but I just Googled Irate the 80's. One of the links are to his site with i'm guessing an update to that whole "Uncle O'Grimmace was from the 70's" point. So, at least he owned up to the mistake somewhat.
DeleteAnyone see this, yet?

Off Topic:
ReplyDeleteI'm going to go over an article over Chris' post about Transformers 4: Age of Extinction
"Fans of the Transformers generation 1 days were treated with a cringe-worthy transformers commercial last night featuring the first glimpse of the Dinobots."
Still part of the G1 bandwagon, Chris? Come on dude, can you at least acknowledge the fact that there are other Transformer shows out there than just G1. The live action films has characters from other Transformers series than just G1.
"I am not sure what the hell I was watching. And it appears I was not the only one."
I saw it. I know what it was and it's a new Transformers film without Shia LeBeouf and it has Mark Wahlberg as the main character. So...that no means no more Teen drama and sex jokes and it's more of a serious story, I guess.
"Are they dinosaurs or dragons?"
Anyone who saw the commercial, including myself, got a glimpse of Grimlock as a T-Rex and Strafe as a pteranodon (everyone thought it was Swoop). So yes, the Dinobots are in the movie. And dragons? Yes, Double Cross the two headed dragon transformer is in the movie.
"I didn’t see Transformers 3 in the theaters and I definitely will not see this in theaters and probably not even as a rental either."
Eventually, you will after your fans will tell you to watch it. No matter what.
"A special thanks again to Michael Bay for destroying facets of our childhoods."
-_-*...Grow up, Chris.
"Will Ninja Turtles be next? Hmmm."
Wait until a trailer comes out and judge for yourself. And don't just say "WAAHHHH! This movie is not like the 1980s cartoon. It sucks! WAAAHHH!" Chris, the TMNT films were not meant to be BASED on the old 80s cartoon but more based on the Mirage Comics, the same comics you bashed for being "Mediocre". Why? Because the turtles swore, drank, and were violent?
Me personally, I saw TF 4: AOE online and I cheered for the return of the Wreckers (Leadfoot, Topspin, and my personal favorite, Roadbuster) and seeing Grimlock was neat. Though, I'm still wondering Gregg Berger would reprise his role as Grimlock for the movie. He reprised his role for Fall of Cybertron (he told everyone and myself at SavCon's Transformers Fan Convention before the game came out) and if he does for this movie, that's great. I'll give it a watch.
It seems Chris is jumping on the hate-wagon for no other reason than to attract some easy hits on his site. Kind of predictable and expected of him.
DeleteThat said, I personally loved the trailer for TF4 AOE. I'm a Dinobot fan and it was all I could hope for. Grimlock in T-Rex form was the highlight, and possibly the only reason why I'll watch this new Transformers film after skipping the previous two.
I have mixed feelings for the new Spider Man movie, though. I'll watch it in theaters, but for some reason the more I see of it, the less I "feel" it. :/
Didn't Chris said before that the live-action TMNT movie looks good to him when the behind-the-scenes pictures came out? Now he believes that Michael Bay will screw it up? Being a flip-flopper again, Chris?
DeleteSame thing about Transformers 3. He said at one point "I'm not going to watch Transformers 3 cause I hated the first two." Then in the Fall of Cybertron review, he says "I saw Transformers 3 and I thought it was an entertaining movie...but it doesn't please him as a Transformers fan."
DeleteOverall, Chris whines and cries about the Transformers live action films not being like the old cartoon. It's a different series and universe of it's own, Chris. Not all movies and cartoons have to be like that. Besides, the G1 cartoon was only made to advertise and market toys for kids everywhere.
His rant about Michael Bay's Transformers not being like the cartoon reminds me of Cumonass' 150+ videos of worthless rants and responses of the live action movies...until he saw ROTF and somehow liked it, which made him into a total hypocrite.
What do you think Chris Bores would say about Transformers: Prime (including Beast Hunters and the Predacons Rising movie) and Transformers: Rescue Bots? My guess is he'd flip his shit for stupid reasons like always.
DeleteHe probably say for Prime: bad CGI and not being close to the original (G1) and very close to the movies.
DeleteAs for Rescue Bots: No Decepticons and it's made for kids.

I just saw this post from one of Bores friends, Krataskull, on the AngryJoe JewWario tribute video:

I'm glad this motherfucker is dead.
Not even sure what to say to that.
*Shrugs* Who cares? I recommend paying him no mind. People like that aren't worth expounding on. Even if you call him out, it wouldn't matter in the end.
DeletePeople like that tend to say the wrong things at the wrong times to the wrong people... and then bad things happen to them. Best to ignore them and let Darwin's theory weed them out, they're nothing but refuse anyway.
DeleteDid anyone get Pokemon Bank, yesterday?
ReplyDeleteNot yet, since I don't have a 3DS, but I'm planning to get one by the end of the month, so...
DeleteI have it. It came with a Celebi right?
DeleteYes, but you have to get it via Pokémon Link.
DeleteHahahah, ok so I put up Irate Gamer's history of video games part 1 and part 1 HD beside each other, so they play at the exact same time. Man it was way funnier then it should have been. I still don't understand why he redid it, still lame as ever.
